  • Sophistic Synthesis in JFK Assassination Rhetoric. 24P
    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.

Wilkes, Jr. “It is difficult to understand why the [presidential limousine] came to a complete stop after the first shot. The natural inclination… would be to step on the gas and accelerate as quickly as possible. However, if the driver were under the impression that the shots were from the front, one could understand his hesitation in not wanting to drive closer to the sniper or snipers.”—Mark Lane “The most productive mindset you can have is simply this: always, always, always have a belief system that doesn’t resist change. Go wherever the information leads you, without fear, because surely the truth is never something to dread.” —Darryl Sloan The Zapruder Film Only one person filmed from start to finish the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which occurred in a matter of seconds at 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 22, 1963 on Elm Street in Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, TX.

  • 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.

  • Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK by Gerald Posner: a Preliminary Critique by Martin Shackelford
    Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK by Gerald Posner: A Preliminary Critique by Martin Shackelford DEJA VU: In 1964, the Warren Commission, after 8 months of studying the JFK assassination, published a book purporting to solve the case; they got virtually uncritical media support and coverage, but they were wrong. In 1966, after three years of studying the JFK case, Mark Lane published a book purporting to solve it; he got mountains of media coverage, but he was wrong. In 1980, after 17 years of studying the case, David Lifton published a book purporting to solve it; Time magazine devoted two pages to his book, and he got a lot of television coverage, but he was wrong. In 1993, after 2 years of study, Gerald Posner published a book purporting to finally resolve the issues in the case, and US. News & World Report devoted 27 pages in a special issue on the book, and he is getting a lot of television coverage. He, too, is wrong, but the media seems fonder of his version than Lifton's: he says the Warren Commission was right. As he later notes, "An increasing amount of published work is a dangerous mixture of good information with a liberal dose of falsehoods. Sifting out the truth is increasingly difficult for those not well versed in the facts."1 Unfortunately, the same may be said of his own book. BLURBS: Posners book is highly praised on the dust jacket by Tom Wicker, a longtime Warren Commission apologist who in 1979 wrote an introduction to the House Select Committee on Assassinations report (NY.

Pursuit of Records and Papers from Private Citizens and Organizations The Review Board encouraged a number of private citizens and organizations who possessed assassination records to donate them to the JFK Collection in its effort to make the Collection as historically rich as possible. The Review Board received records and papers from private citizens. Private citizens donated, often is in the form of a Deed of Gift, their materials to the JFK Collection for the benefit of historians, researchers, and students of the assassination. The Review Board also received countless essays, interview transcripts, and copies of books written by members of the public, most often not accompanied by a Deed of Gift, and these materials will become part of the JFK Collection through the Collection’s inclusion of the Review Board’s records.

  • Some Observations Regarding the JFK Assassination
    Some Observations Regarding the JFK Assassination By Wm. Thomas Sherman Last updated: 29 May 2017 The following are a series of casual commentaries carried on at my website http://www.gunjones.com, originally posted in 2008 and 2009, and which pertain to the assassination of Pres. John F. Kennedy. At my website, the subject of the scientifically verifiable existence of spirit people; such as what we normally think of as ghosts, demons, angels, etc., is a common theme and subject; so that my remarks and analysis of the JFK murder to some extent are tied in with that. While I certainly don’t expect that someone just being introduced to my work to readily or out of hand accept my hypothesis and claim regarding “spirit people,” let it at least be said here that I explore that same topic at greater length and depth at my website, and to which I would refer you for further explanation of where I am coming from.1 This said, my comments regarding Nov. 22, 1963 can, to a significant extent, can be assessed on their own merit without any reference or association to my asseverations with respect to spirit people; so that in this document before you are extracts from those website postings that focus exclusively on the Kennedy case. These observations of mine are fairly random, desultory, and as I said casual (including some occasionally humorous in purpose and character), and I don’t claim to be deeply informed expert on the JFK assassination but rather an amateur. However, using what facts and reasoning I do have available to me, I do think that some who are more informed on the subject will, nevertheless, perhaps find some value in them; hence, my gathering them together in one document for their and others’ possible use and benefit.
