  • 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.

Kennedy accurate in establishing the number and location of shots, proposing that both Connally and Kennedy were struck by the same bullet, and identifying Lee Harvey Oswald as the perpetrator? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Session: May 2015 Candidate name: Hellen Wu Candidate number: 001127 - 0040 Essay subject: History Supervisor: Ruth Clarke Word count: Main investigation 3915 (excluding references and subtitles) Abstract 300 "1 Abstract This essay investigated the question “to what extent was the Warren Commission report on the assassination of John F. Kennedy accurate in establishing the number and location of shots, proposing that both Connally and Kennedy were struck by the same bullet, and identifying Lee Harvey Oswald as the perpetrator?”. In order to reach a comprehensive conclusion to this question, it was necessary to conduct some simple preliminary research on the social context during Kennedy’s time (i.e. the 1960s), before proceeding to research the chronology of events on the day of his assassination. This enabled a more accurate understanding of the conclusions reached by the The President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy (i.e. the Warren Commission) as to the nature of the assassination. Because the report by the Warren Commission comprised of numerous conclusions, it was not possible to analyze all of these, and only those most pertinent to the assassination of Kennedy were investigated, specifically the details of the shooting, the “Magic Bullet Theory”, and the identity of the assassin.

  • 3. Carlos Bringuier Carlos Bringuier Was an Anti-Castro Cuban Activist In
    3. Carlos Bringuier Carlos Bringuier was an anti-Castro Cuban activist in New Orleans who had repeated contact with Lee Harvey Oswald in the summer of 1963. Bringuier managed a clothing store in New Orleans, and he was also the New Orleans representative of the anti-Castro organization Directorio Revolucionaro Estudiantil (the DRE). Oswald visited Bringuier’s store in early August of 1963 and they discussed the Cuban political situation. According to Bringuier, Oswald portrayed himself as being anti-Castro and anti-communist. Several days later, someone told Bringuier that an American was passing out pro-Castro leaflets in New Orleans. Bringuier and two others went to counter-demonstrate, and Bringuier was surprised to see that Owald was the pro-Castro leafleter. Bringuier and Oswald argued and were arrested for disturbing the peace. The publicity from the altercation and trial (Oswald pleaded guilty and was fined $10 and Bringuier and his friends pleaded not guilty and the charges were dismissed) resulted in a debate on WDSU radio between Bringuier and Oswald on August 21, 1963. Bringuier testified to the Warren Commission in April of 1964. The Review Board requested access to all FBI files on Bringuier from New Orleans and Headquarters that had not already been designated for processing under the JFK Act. The Review Board designated six serials on Bringuier from New Orleans 105-1095 as assassination records. The earliest serial, dated March 16, 1962, documents attempts by a Federal agency to enlist Cuban nationals for military training. All of the other serials are dated after November 22, 1963, and document Bringuier’s interactions with Oswald in August of 1963.

  • Lee Harvey Oswald's Last Lover? the Warren Commission Missed A
    Lee Harvey Oswald’s Last Lover? The Warren Commission Missed A Significant JFK Assassination Connection It is reasonable to be suspicious of claims that challenge our understanding of history. But it is unreasonable to ignore evidence because it might change one’s mind or challenge the positions that one has taken in public. History shows us that new information is rarely welcome.–Edward T. Haslam Lee Harvey Oswald was an innocent man who was a government intelligence agent. He faithfully carried out assignments such as entering the USSR and pretending to be pro-Castro. Lee Harvey Oswald was a brave, good man, a patriot and a true American hero . .–Judyth Vary Baker If Judyth Vary Baker is telling the truth, it will change the way we think about the Kennedy assassination.–John McAdams Oswald in New Orleans in 1963 Lyndon B. Johnson famously remarked that Lee Harvey Oswald “was quite a mysterious fellow.” One of the most enigmatic episodes in Oswald’s adventure-filled 24-year life was his 1963 sojourn in his birthplace, New Orleans, where he arrived by bus on Apr. 25 and from which he departed by bus on Sept. 25, less than two months before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The Warren Report The Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination and concluded that Oswald, acting alone, was the assassin, found nothing of significance in Oswald’s 1963 stay in New Orleans. The picture painted by the 1964 Warren Report is of a lowly, lonely and disgruntled leftist and pro-Castroite who occasionally pretended to be an anti-Castro rightist.

  • RIP, Conspiracy Gerald Posner Says Oswald Alone Killed JFK
    R.I.P., conspiracy Gerald Posner says Oswald alone killed JFK, and "the facts are incontrovertible." He is confident he has cloip d the case. But, in fact, he has dot — and nobody could. CASE CLOSED Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK By Gerald Posner r, I I_ 40-eL ok Random House. 607 pp. $25 O Reviewed by Mary Perot Nichols erald Posner, a former Wall Street lawyer, is an author with the most as- tounding hubris. He con- elx_ctfr)-3 tends that his new book, GCase Closed, will do what its title says: close the case on the assassina- tion of President John F. Kennedy. Posner's thesis is that Lee Harvey Oswald did it all by himself. "Well, good luck, Mr. Posner," I said to myself as I sat down to 'read Case Closed. My own opinion is that neither God nor whatever higher power one might subscribe to could achieve Posner's goal. Kennedy hagi- ographer Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. once described the welter of facts, factoids and inconsistencies that make the Kennedy assassination the most fascinating murder mystery of our time as "a quagmire for histori- ans." It is, in fact, a quagmire for almost anybody. Let's see if Gerald Posner sinks in it. Posner is confident that he is on solid ground. "Lee Harvey Oswald, driven by his own twisted and impenetrable fur- ies, was the only assassin at Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963," he mission was right. (The subsequent Lee Harvey Oswald posed in writes.
