Notes on conspiracy theories about The reptilians and other beliefs in times of covid-19. A look from the implausible imaginaries in castoridian key.

  • Enriqueta Lerma Rodríguez

A sociological reflection is offered on the origin, meaning and scope of implausible conspiracy theories in the context of the emergence of covid-19. The analytical proposal of Cornelius Castoriadis' social imaginaries is used to problematize the difference between "plausible imaginaries": the origin of covid as a bacteriological weapon, and "implausible imaginaries": the extraterrestrial origin of covid, in order to interpret how it has been possible the increase of certain beliefs, among others, in reptilians, illuminati and extraterrestrials, who are accused of trying to dominate the world.
