Abstract [sv]

I den här uppsatsen så undersöks de mytiska utgångspunkterna i denNordamerikanska QAnon-rörelsen. QAnon dök upp på den politiska scenen i slutet av2017 i samband med att källan ”Q” började posta politiska förutsägelser i internetforumsom 4Chan och 8Chan. ”Q” startade en rörelse som nu sprider sig över världen och somanvänder sig av ett potpurri av konspirationsteorier för att föra fram sitt budskap. I dethär arbetet kommer några av de mytologiska teman vi hittar hos Qanon-rörelsen attanalyseras med hjälp av bland annat den mytanalys vi finner hos amerikanskareligionshistorikern Joseph Campbells.

Abstract [en]

In this thesis I investigate the mythical foundations of the North AmericanQAnon-movement. QAnon entered the political right-wing scene during 2017 when thesource ”Q” started posting ”drops” on the 4Chan and 8Chan message boards. ”Q”started a movement now spreading across the world by connecting different conspiracytheories to a ”big tent conspiracy theory”. In this text I will analyse some of the themesused by the QAnon-movement using the myth-analysis of, among others, the americanmythologist Joseph Campbell.
