Identifying something as “fringe” indicates its proximal placement within accepted norms of contemporary society. Both conspiracy theories and paranormal accounts dwell on the fringes and both use surprisingly similar persuasive techniques. Using elements of the Aristotelian canon as well as Oswald’s strengthening and weakening strategies, this book establishes a pattern for the analysis of fringe rhetorics. It also applies this pattern through rhetorical analyses of several documentaries and provides suggestions for countering fringe arguments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Defining Fringe Rhetoric\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Rhetorical Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Fringe Rhetoric: Flat Earth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Fringe Rhetoric: Power and Control\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Fringe Rhetoric: Aliens and Cover-Ups\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Rhetorical Strategies for Refutation\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042691842391,"sku":"9781793649485","price":62.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793649485.jpg?v=1750955204","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/fringe-rhetorics-conspiracy-theories-and-the-paranormal-9781793649485","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
