[QUOTE="gizi agresta, post: 149213, member: 9018"] do you have a sample of hoax you are thinking of? my understanding is that it would be based on the willingness of a person or group to believe in tandem with the viability of the hoax. if we consider fake news in the realm of a hoax, you have the perfect mixture of an existing divisive rhetoric and people willing to believe extreme points of view and pass it on with little to no clarification. if its a more fanciful hoax like the loch ness monster, between google maps and photographic technology i feel that soft space in the imagination that was reserved for the existence of monsters has been largely vanished. it made me think of the response the orson welles's reading of war of the worlds vs the y2k hysteria. i know neither of those were intended as hoaxes but more of what they represented in terms of where our cultural fear is situated and what seems tangible, believable at a certain time period.
