EASST Fund supports: Hype Studies Conference: (Don’t) Believe the Hype
Hype is a powerful and pervasive phenomenon that influences economic trends, political agendas, media narratives, and technological development. It creates momentum, attracts investment, and fuels speculation, while simultaneously distorting reality, misallocating resources, and amplifying uncertainties. Hype is not just an exaggeration—it is a dynamic process that plays a crucial role in contemporary societies, shaping decision-making at multiple levels.
The Hype Studies Conference: (Don’t) Believe the Hype aims to examine hype as a performative force, exploring its mechanisms, effects, and implications across different domains. From the speculative visions of emerging technologies to political rhetoric, from financial bubbles to cultural trends, we seek to understand how hype operates, who benefits from it, and how it transforms the social, media, political, economic and technological landscape. This conference has the support of the EASST fund.
