    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 400 532 CS 215 483 AUTHOR Gilles, Roger TITLE Sophistic Synthesis in JFK Assassination Rhetoric. PUB DATE Apr 93 NOTE 24p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (44th, San Diego, CA, April 1-3, 1993). PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) Speeches /Conference Papers (150) Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Higher Education; Historiography; Popular Culture; *Presidents of the United States; *Rhetorical Criticism; *Rhetorical Theory; *United States History IDENTIFIERS 1960s; *Assassinations; Classical Rhetoric; Garrison (Jim); *Kennedy (John F); Rhetorical Stance; Social Needs ABSTRACT The rhetoric surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy offers a unique testing ground for theories about the construction of knowledge in society. One dilemma, however, is the lack of academic theorizing about the assassination. The Kennedy assassination has been left almost exclusively in the hands of "nonhistorians," i.e., politicians, filmmakers, and novelists. Their struggle to reach consensus is an opportunity to consider recent issues in rhetorical theory, issues of knowledge and belief, argument and narrative, history and myth. In "Rereading the Sophists: Classical Rhetoric Refigured," Susan C. Jarratt uses the sophists and their focus on "nomos" to propose "an alternative analytic to the mythos/logos antithesis" characteristic of more Aristotelian forms of rhetorical analysis. Two basic features of sophistic historiography interest Jarratt: (1) the use of narrative structures along with or opposed to argumentative structures; and (2) the rhetorical focus on history to creative broad cultural meaning in the present rather than irrefutable fact,about the past. Jarratt's book lends itself to a 2-part reading of Jim Garrison's "On the Trail of the Assassins"--a rational or Aristotelian reading and a nomos-driven or myth-making reading.

  • The JFK Assassination and the Politics and Culture of Conspiracy Theory
    A Paranoid Style? : The JFK Assassination and the Politics and Culture of Conspiracy Theory Joseph Broadbent Degree of Masters of Arts by Research University of East Anglia School of American Studies January 2014 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract This thesis analyses the phenomenon of conspiracy theory, using the assassination of President John F. Kennedy as a case study. Doubt is the root cause of conspiracy theory, stemming from both the innate biases all humans exhibit, and a traumatic experience – in this case the assassination of JFK. This thesis argues that conspiracy theories are created and take hold because of a predisposition toward conspiracy theory, a misinterpretation of a central piece of evidence, such as the Zapruder film, and agency panic, where dispossession causes one to feel as if their agency is under threat. Conspiracy theory can provide believers with many emotions which appear to the individual to not be available elsewhere, namely closure, comfort, control, and a sense of leisure. Using the assassination of JFK, this thesis examines the role of conspiracy theory in modern American society. It weighs up the benefits of conspiracy theory, such as it is an example of free speech and it can aid transparency, with the negatives: that it can possibly cause harm to its adherents and their dependants because of a belief in ends justifying the means.

  • Political Goals Versus Commercial Goals: Emile De Antonio's Rush To
    Media Industries 6.2 (2019) Political Goals versus Commercial Goals: Emile de Antonio’s Rush to Judgment on the Market Nora Stone1 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS AT LITTLE ROCK norastone [AT] gmail.com Abstract Emile de Antonio had reason to hope that his second documentary, Rush to Judgment (1967), would be as popular as his first, Point of Order! (1963). Made with bestselling author and political commentator Mark Lane, Rush to Judgment was one of the very first films to question the Warren Commission’s conclusion about the Kennedy assassination. However, despite its topicality, Rush to Judgment did not entice exhibitors or audiences. While de Antonio and others attributed the film’s commercial failure to politically motivated censorship and intimidation, this explanation does not account for other factors in the documentary’s release. Using trade journals and Emile de Antonio’s archive, this article finds that Rush to Judgment’s release was hobbled by an inexperienced and dysfunctional distribution company and by de Antonio and Lane’s divergent goals. Most of all, though, the instability of the independent film market in the mid-1960s sunk the release of Rush to Judgment. Keywords: Film Distribution, Documentary, Committed Documentary, Political Emile de Antonio’s first film, Point of Order!, was a surprise success at the box office in 1964. Made with Dan Talbot, owner of the recently opened arthouse New Yorker Theater and later founder of distribution company New Yorker Films, Point of Order! tells the story of the infa- mous Army–McCarthy hearings of 1954. Distributor Walter Reade-Sterling booked Point of Order! in over one hundred cinemas, as well as numerous college campuses.

  • November 22 1963 the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy A
    November 22 1963 The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy A Lincoln City Libraries Booklist compiled on the 50th Anniversary of the Historic Events At 12:30 p.m. on November 22, 1963, while traveling in an open-air motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States of America, was assassinated by gunfire from the Texas School Book Depository, alongside the presidential motorcade route. Arrested later that day was Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union and then returned to the U.S. in 1962. Arraigned for the murder of Kennedy and Dallas police office J.D. Tippit, Oswald himself was killed by Dallas night club owner Jack Ruby while he was being transferred between jails. An official governmental investigation into the assassination – the President’s Commission on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, chaired by Earl Warren (Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States) – concluded in an 889-page report, released in September 1964, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy, as did Ruby in later killing Oswald. Conspiracy theories have abounded in the decades following the Warren Commission’s findings, and numerous other investigations of the assassination have resulted in a variety of other “official” opinions. The United States House Select Committee on Assassinations, formed in 1976, released a report in 1979 that concluded that although Oswald was, indeed the “lone shooter”, there may very well have been a conspiracy behind his actions to assassinate Kennedy.

Wilkes, Jr. National Enquirer Conspiracy Theories The tabloid newspaper National Enquirer cannot make up its mind about who was responsible for the Nov. 22, 1963, assassination of President John F. Kennedy. On Apr. 20, 2016, it published an article which referred to Lee Harvey Oswald as “the man who murdered America’s 35th president,” and excitedly screamed it was Oswald who “blew President John F. Kennedy’s brains out!” That article, “Ted Cruz’s Father Linked to JFK Assassination,” infamously and falsely accused Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz’s father of being a “pal” of Oswald. Seven months later, on Dec. 19, 2016, the Enquirer published another article on the JFK assassination, “Dying Castro Admits Killing JFK!” This article claimed that JFK had been slain by a team of hired assassins sent to Dallas by Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro. The fatal shots, the article asserted, had been fired from the grassy knoll by a named Cuban-born mercenary who eluded detection and made his way back to Cuba.

The products of a frequently violent and criminal subculture, these men and women, typically imbued with neo-Nazi beliefs about Jews, blacks, ho- mosexuals and others, are also notoriously difficult to track. Organized into small, mo- bile “crews” or acting individually, skinheads tend to move around frequently and often without warning, even as they network and organize across regions. For law enforcement, this poses a particular problem — responding to crimes and even conspiracies crossing multiple jurisdictions. As these extremists extend their reach across the country, it is vital that law enforcement officers who deal with them become familiar with the activities of skinheads nationwide. What follows is a general essay on the history and nature of the skinhead movement, pre- pared with the needs of law enforcement officers in mind. After that, we reprint recent reports on the contemporary skinhead movement in America, including an overview of the latest developments, portraits of 10 particularly frightening leaders, and a gallery of insignias and tattoos commonly used by racist skinheads. This booklet was prepared by the staff of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project, which tracks the American radical right and also publishes the investigative magazine Intelligence Report.
