According to the Oxford Dictionaries, post-truth\u201d is relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief. These circumstances became especially present on the web in our time, as hate speech, extreme political beliefs and alternative facts are flooding web fora and social media. Jelle van Buuren (Leiden University) has done a PhD research on conspiracy theories on the web (2016). He addressed the question whether or not conspiracy constructions are boosting hatred against the political system. The online discourse in which these conspiracy theories get shape can be characterized as post-truth\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Koninklijke Bibliotheek \u2013 National Library of the Netherlands (KB-NL) has collected born digital material from the web since 2007 through web archiving. It makes a selection of websites with cultural and academic content from the Dutch national web. Most of the sites were harvested because of their value as cultural heritage. Due to these selection criteria of the past, many of the harvested websites are about history and heritage. As such, they were less suitable to use as primary sources for future historic research on our own digital age. This all changed by the new selection policy, which includes also conspiracy theories and other typical post truth phenomena from the Dutch web.<\/p>\n

I will describe the methods and experience with selecting, harvesting and archiving websites of the Post-truth era. I discuss also the characteristics of web materials and archived web materials and will explain the use of these various materials (harvested websites, link clouds, context information) for digital humanities research.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, I will describe the challenges of webarchiving in a country without a legal deposit. I will also argue that the combination of a growing variety of different kinds of digital materials and processes from the web calls for a reinterpretation of primary historic sources, stressing the question what can be regarded as an authentic born digital source of our time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","conf_sessions":[69],"conf_streams":[],"conf_areas":[],"class_list":["post-1217","conf_workshop","type-conf_workshop","status-publish","hentry","conf_sessions-leveraging-archived-content-chair-samantha-abrams"],"yoast_head":"\nHow to harvest born digital conspiracy theories: webarchiving Dutch digital culture in the Post-truth era 14:30-15:00 -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/netpreserve.org\/ga2018\/workshops\/how-to-harvest-born-digital-conspiracy-theories-webarchiving-dutch-digital-culture-in-the-post-truth-era\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How to harvest born digital conspiracy theories: webarchiving Dutch digital culture in the Post-truth era 14:30-15:00 -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Kees Teszelszky, Koninklijke Bibliotheek According to the Oxford Dictionaries, post-truth\u201d is relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.
