  • 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.

  • The Death of Marilyn Monroe by the Scottish Poet Edwin Morgan Is a Poem About the Suicide of the 1950'S Icon Marilyn Munroe, A
    The Death of Marilyn Monroe by the Scottish poet Edwin Morgan is a poem about the suicide of the 1950’s icon Marilyn Munroe, and the public reaction to her death. The poem is set at the time of her death, but still has relevance today, with the growing public and media interest in celebrity figures, which makes the readers appreciate the poem more. In “The Death of Marilyn Monroe”, the poet makes the reader re- evaluate his or her opinion on the film industry and media and I will attempt to show how this has been achieved through the medium of poetry. The poet has used rhetoric to make the reader re-evaluate his or her opinion of the media. The first line is a series of rhetorical questions; “What innocence? Whose guilt? What eyes? Whose breast?” which mimics newspaper headlines, and alludes to the media’s obsession with Marilyn Monroe, both in life and death. These are questions that the public also asked, and shows the shocking, confusing nature of her death. However, this media obsession was at least partly responsible for Marilyn’s demise, as she had no privacy, and was constantly hounded by the press. This causes the reader to think that the media is wrong in its pursuit of celebrities if suicides are the result. The poem also ends with a series of rhetorical questions, which refers back to the beginning: “Los Angeles? Los Angeles? Will it follow you around? Will the slow white hearse of the child of America follow you around?” These questions again make the reader question him or herself about Marilyn’s death, but this time, the cause of her death “Los Angeles?” infers that, in fact, the film industry was partly responsible for her death, and suggests that Hollywood has a dark side too, which makes the reader re-evaluate his or her opinion on the film industry, that it can also cause people harm.

  • Conspiracy Theoriesx
    1 | Conspiracy Theories by Sanja Milosevic CONSPIRACY THEORIES Author: Sanja Miloševi ć, I/2 Gimnazija ,,Stevan Jakovljevi ć” Mentor: Biljana Pipovi ć, English teacher ABSTRACT This essay is about something that happens all the time around us and something that we usually do not know much about, so we cannot explain it. Great tragedies happen every day. Someone dies in a traffic accident. Someone else kills himself or gets killed. And someone else dies because of a larger amount of drug. Usually many of them are celebrities. The real truth of their death is hidden from the public view. The gossip about these events begins not long after the event itself. And after a while, people start believing that what we think is truth is actually a lie. We get to know and want to believe that it was someone’s plot. I think that there are many people that are interested in finding out what actually the plots are and that is why I have decided to write about conspiracy theories. Key words : conspiracy, conspiracy theories, plot, tragedy, death REZIME Ovaj esej je o ne čemu što se stalno dešava oko nas i o čemu obi čno ne znamo mnogo, pa to ne možemo ni objasniti. Velike tragedije se dogadjaju svaki dan. Neko umre u saobra ćajnoj nesre ći. Neko drugi se ubija ili ga neko ubije. A neko drugi umre zbog ve će koli čine droge. Obi čno su mnogi od njih poznate li čnosti. Prava istina o njihovoj smrti je sakrivena od o čiju javnosti. Tra čevi o ovim doga ñajima po činju ne dugo posle samog doga ñaja.

KALAY∗ E.Gülay ER PASİN∗∗ Abstract Cinema, consumed as an industrial work today is a brunch of art most effected by technology. Defining cinema as ‘visual art’, some visions become permanant almost for everyone. In this point of view, if we ask what 'great film scene-great film moment' or 'great, memorable and defining film moment' is, we can see that in cinema history, there are literally hundreds and hundreds of 'memorable moments and scenes' fabled, from a wide range of films. They are our memories from the segments of films which has achieved a life of their own. They compel us to remember and relive the moment, either with fondness or with fear. For example, the screeching of violins before Marion Crane was stabbed to death in the shower scene in Psycho. These are memorable, defining film moments and some of them are the all-time best scenes or images in motion pictures, a tribute to the stars and scenarios that have made an indelible imprint upon our memories, and and they have become never to be forgotten. In this study these unforgettable, great scenes and moments are researched. Key Words: Film, Great or best scenes-moments, memorable scenes-moments MUHTEŞEM FİLM SAHNELERİ VE ANLARI Öz Sinema günümüzde özellikle teknoloji etkisinde, sanatın bir dalı olarak ve aynı zamanda endüstriyel bir ürün gibi tüketilmektedir.

Goldberg University of Utah About the John O’Sullivan Memorial Lecture In the spring of 2004, a group of senior citizen students at Florida Atlantic University paid tribute to John O’Sullivan, a beloved professor of history who died in 2000, by establishing a Memorial Fund to support an annual lecture in his honor. In keeping with John’s commitment to teaching, research, and community outreach, the mission of the John O’Sullivan Memorial Lectureship is to broaden and deepen public understanding of modern U.S. history.

The lectures typically focus on topics relevant to Professor O’Sullivan’s specialties in 20th Century U.S. history, including: World War II, the Vietnam War, the nuclear age, the Holocaust, peace history, political and diplomatic affairs, and other topics.

  • The 15Th International Gothic Association Conference A
    The 15th International Gothic Association Conference Lewis University, Romeoville, Illinois July 30 - August 2, 2019 Speakers, Abstracts, and Biographies A NICOLE ACETO “Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut”: The Terror of Domestic Femininity in Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House Abstract From the beginning of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, ordinary domestic spaces are inextricably tied with insanity. In describing the setting for her haunted house novel, she makes the audience aware that every part of the house conforms to the ideal of the conservative American home: walls are described as upright, and “doors [are] sensibly shut” (my emphasis). This opening paragraph ensures that the audience visualizes a house much like their own, despite the description of the house as “not sane.” The equation of the story with conventional American families is extended through Jackson’s main character of Eleanor, the obedient daughter, and main antagonist Hugh Crain, the tyrannical patriarch who guards the house and the movement of the heroine within its walls, much like traditional British gothic novels. Using Freud’s theory of the uncanny to explain Eleanor’s relationship with Hill House, as well as Anne Radcliffe’s conception of terror as a stimulating emotion, I will explore the ways in which Eleanor is both drawn to and repelled by Hill House, and, by extension, confinement within traditional domestic roles. This combination of emotions makes her the perfect victim of Hugh Crain’s prisonlike home, eventually entrapping her within its walls. I argue that Jackson is commenting on the restriction of women within domestic roles, and the insanity that ensues when women accept this restriction.

    James Gill: AMERICAN POP MUSEUM OF THE SOUTHWEST About the Artist James Gill is a rare artist to encounter in West Texas. Living in a small town outside of San Angelo, he has been a working artist since the early 1960s, and creates vibrant portraits and collage-like paintings of Pop Art subjects. Although he is not as well-known as artists like Roy Lichtenstein or Andy Warhol, he was their contemporary, and the first artist of that group to have a painting purchased by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This exhibition includes historic books and magazines that feature his art, and several paintings from the 1960s. The bulk of the exhibition showcases his recent paintings, still full of color and vitality. James Francis Gill is born in Tahoka, Texas. He attends San Angelo High School. After a tour of duty with the U.S. Marines, he attends San Angelo 1934 College before completing his formal education at the University of Texas in Austin.
