Conspiracy Culture

From Kennedy to The X Files

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Knight provides an engaging and cogent analysis of the development of conspiracy culture, from the 1960s' countercultural suspicions about the authorities to the 1990s, where a paranoid attitude is both routine and ironic.

---

Conspiracy Culture investigates conspiracy theories in contemporary American culture, asking why conspiracy narratives are so popular and so ubiquitous, and relates conspiracy culture to postmodernity and millennial anxieties.
