Resumo: The concept of conspiracy theories has become a matter of interest in academic and media discussions about scientific denialism, being associated with different cultural forms: vaccine mistrust, assumptions about electoral fraud, etc. In this article, we rely on controversy mapping methodologies in order to follow how the concept of conspiracy theories was mobilized in controversies about flat earthism, investigating how actors produced associations in a social media (Facebook). We conclude that the concept of conspiracy theories was transformed, by the action of specific actors, into a derogatory category to encompass denialist phenomena, such as flat earthism.

Concluímos que o conceito de teorias da conspiração foi transformado, pela ação de atores específicos, em uma categoria depreciativa a englobar fenômenos negacionistas, como o terraplanismo.Imprensa Universitária - UFSC2023-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/9308710.5007/2175-7941.2023.e93087Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física; v. 40 n. 2 (2023): Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física; 392-4162175-79411677-2334reponame:Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/93087/53574https://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/93087/54176Wilezelek Soares de Melo, LeonardoAlves de Oliveira, Moisés info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-09-08T17:50:32Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/93087Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/oaicbefisica@gmail.com||fscccef@fsc.ufsc.br|| cbefisica@gmail.com2175-79411677-2334opendoar:2023-09-08T17:50:32Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
