| Title | BETWEEN REALITY AND MYTH: THE DEBATES ABOUT THE ISRAEL LOBBY IN THE UNITED STATES AND ITS IMAGE IN THE CONTEXT OF AMERICAN CONSPIRACY NARRATIVE |
| Summary | Recently, the subject of conspiracy theories gained significant prominence in Western, and especially American, scholarship. New approaches to researching the political culture of contemporary societies have demonstrated the crucial influence of subconscious attitudes in shaping group cohesion and national self-awareness. Thus, conspirological discourse appeared to be one of the crucial elements in the growth of nationalistic feelings and the increase of group cohesion. This thesis covers the topic of antisemitic conspiracy theories in the American public narrative. Moreover, it gives the description and analysis causes of the debates that surrounded the 2006 publication of J. Mearsheimer and S. Walt "Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy". |
