In this paper I seek to interpret, categorise conspiracy theories in relation to
urban legends with a paranoid matrix, with the starting point being mainly the
interpretation of the paranoid nature of conspiracy theories systematised by
Jack Z. Bratich. As one of the examples, I specify the conspiracy theory/ies on
the disappearance of flight MH370, which has been declared one of the greatest
airplane mysteries of all time. Specifically, Boeing 777 (Malaysia Airlines Flight
370) with 227 passengers and 12 crew members disappeared on March 8, 2014
during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. According to the official story, it is
believed that the airplane fell into the Indian Ocean, off the west coast of Australia.
However, the conspiracy theories indicate their own interpretative truths

Paranoyak Bir Matrix ile Şehir Efsanelerine Dönüşen Komplo Teorileri

Öz

Bu yazıda Jack Z. Bratich tarafından sistematize edilen komplo teorilerinin paranoyak doğasının yorumlanmasından yola çıkarak,
şehir efsaneleriyle ilgili komplo teorilerini paranoid bir matrisle yorumlamaya, kategorize etmeye çalışıyorum.
Örneklerden biri olarak, tüm zamanların en büyük uçak gizemlerinden biri ilan
edilen MH370 sefer sayılı uçağın ortadan kaybolmasıyla ilgili komplo teori/lerini
ele alıyorum. Spesifik olarak, 227 yolcu ve 12 mürettebat ile Boeing 777 (Malezya
Havayolları Uçuş 370), 8 Mart 2014’te Kuala Lumpur’dan Pekin’e bir uçuş sırasında kayboldu.
Resmi açıklamaya göre uçağın Avustralya’nın batı kıyısı açıklarında Hint Okyanusu’na düştüğüne inanılıyor.
birlikte, komplo teorileri kendi yorumlayıcı gerçeklerini gösterir.
