Panel: Pro et Contra presents Tuija Parvikko’s Arendt, Eichmann and the Politics of the Past: Eichmann-kiistan vanhat ja uudet suunnat

The Pro et Contra book series of the FPSA, together with the Helsinki University Press (HUP), is organizing a panel that will serve as the launch event for Tuija Parvikko’s book Arendt, Eichmann and the Politics of the Past. The work was published on the HUP platform with a new preface in December 2021. Parvikko’s analysis of Arendt’s book Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963), and the controversy it causes, is again timely. In the panel, Tuija Parvikko will discuss the main themes of her book based on a book presentation published in the Politiikasta online magazine in February 2022: https://politiikasta.fi/eichmann-kiistan-vanhat-ja-uuta-suunnat/ The discussant will be Jouni Tilli (University of Jyväskylä).

Politiikasta -plenary: Politics of conspiracy theories

The Friday plenary of the 2022 FPSA Annual Conference discusses the politics of conspiracy theories through several social scientific perspectives. The causes and consequences of the spread and dissemination of conspiracy theories, the cross-section channeling of conspiracy theories between different media platforms, the different political functions of conspiracy theories in different national contexts, and the ways in which journalistic media and politicians approach conspiracy theories will be discussed.

The panel is based on the forthcoming book Salaliittoteorioiden politiikkaa (The Politics of Conspiracy Theories), edited by Ari-Elmeri Hyvönen and Niko Pyrhönen and published by Vastapaino. The panel is chaired by Niko Pyrhönen (University of Helsinki) and the panelists are researchers from different fields: Tuija Saresma (University of Jyväskylä), Annastiina Kallius (University of Helsinki) and Marko Ampuja (University of Helsinki).
