The project is a reading of conspiracy theory as an index of a certain strain of late 20th-century American despondency and malaise, especially as understood by people experiencing downward social mobility. Written by a cultural anthropologist with a literary background, this deeply interdisciplinary book focuses on the enduring American preoccupation with captivity in a rapidly transforming world. Captivity is a trope that appears in both ordinary and fantastic iterations here, and Susan Lepselter shows how multiple troubled histories--of race, class, gender, and power--become compressed into stories of uncanny memory"--Publisher's description. 517 $aResonance of Unseen Things 606 $aUncanny, The (Psychoanalysis) 615 0$aUncanny, The (Psychoanalysis) 676 $a150.195 700 $aLepselter$b Susan Claudia$0862430 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910381353103321 996 $aResonance of unseen things$92105964 997 $aUNINA
