Title: Awful Archives: Conspiracy Theory, Rhetoric, and Acts of Evidence, by Jenny Rice.
Authors: Bakker, Justine M.
Abstract: Jenny Rice's book "Awful Archives: Conspiracy Theory, Rhetoric, and Acts of Evidence" explores the complex world of conspiracy theories and the role of archives in shaping evidence and argumentation. Rice challenges traditional notions of evidence as a static entity, instead viewing it as an ongoing process and affective act. Through a series of chapters, she delves into the power of archival aura, the construction of demon archives, and the rhetorical responses to troubling claims. Rice's innovative approach offers a fresh perspective on conspiracy discourse and invites readers to consider new ways of engaging with evidence and argumentation.
