Activity: Presentations, memberships, ownership and other activities › Lecture and oral contribution

Description

This paper is concerned with some of the ways in which conspiratorial thinking
in the United States has been described and explained by historians, sociologists
and other analysts. It focuses in particular on descriptions of the relationship
between fact and fiction, and reason and irrationality, in conspiratorial
imaginations; as well as on the ways interpretations of such thinking, partly as
a result, build their readings on the verges of psychology and history
