En su análisis, el artículo vincula la literatura sobre el concepto de posverdad y la discusión sobre los otros repugnantes (Harding 1991), valiosas referencias para pensar sobre las entrevistas hechas a miembros del autoproclamado movimiento terraplanista. Se establece aquí una comparación entre estos actores y otra comunidad de paracientíficos, los ufólogos, estudiados por el autor entre los años 2011 y 2014. Se afirma que tanto los terraplanistas como los ufólogos acusan a los científicos de ser dogmáticos (Cross 2000). Sin embargo, se observa una intensificación de la desconfianza más general hacia la ciencia entre aquellos que sostienen que la Tierra es plana.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This paper is an attempt to present an anthropological interpretation of Flat Earthers, a movement that claims that the Earth is flat, that there is a world conspiracy that hides the aforementioned secret and that the Flat Earthers are the real scientists. To address these topics, the paper draws on the literature on the concept of post-truth and the discussion on the &#8220;repugnant others&#8221; (Harding 1991), as valuable references to interpret the interviews conducted with members of the self-proclaimed Flat Earth movement. They are here presented in comparison with another community of paracientists, the UFO researchers studied by the author between 2011 and 2014. It is claimed that both UFO researchers and Flat Earthers accuse the scientists of dogmatism (Cross 2000). However, among those who hold the argument that the Earth is flat there is an intensification of the general suspicion about science.]]></p></abstract>
