Identifying something as \"fringe\" indicates its proximal placement within accepted norms of contemporary society. Both conspiracy theories and paranormal accounts dwell on these fringes and use surprisingly similar persuasive techniques. Using elements of the Aristotelian canon as well as Steve 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\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Schroeder Sorensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1793649480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781793649485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Karen Schroeder Sorensen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077434241279,"sku":"9781793649485","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e40dcf4-8b91-4749-b789-30a7341ba71a.jpg?v=1685469957","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fringe-rhetorics-karen-schroeder-sorensen-9781793649485","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
