| Résumé : |
This study examines the wide spread of a particular phenomenon in the U.S.A. This
phenomenon and the theory which represents the main interest of this dissertation is Conspiracy
Theory. It rejects the notion that Conspiracy Theory is a delusional way of making sense of
events, and it demonstrates that what is been understood as superficial and shallow has roots that
goes way deeper in the nation’s past. The prevalence of the Conspiracy notion, however, is
related to various factors, but three of them probably stand out most. On a social level, the U.S.A
is known for being a Salad Bowl, an amalgam of different nationalities, a trait that nurtures the
paranoia. On a political level, the sense of mission the Americans believe they are burned with
contributes in the rise of suspicion. And finally, the cultural arena with media promotion through
movies and novels penetrated the notion of conspiracy in the American mind. Still, the theory,
like any other has its adherents and its opponents. The latter tends to dismiss the notion of
conspiracy because it is perceived as distortion of historical events that can lead to great dangers.
Its adherents on the other hand, see it as a power magnet, mostly used in specific times, on
particular individuals for needed ends. Conspiracy Theory is a controversial topic that has been
the interest of various fields besides the cultural studies; from sociology and psychology, to
political science, philosophy and journalism. |
