This suggestion to the thread about Conspiracy Groups arrives a bit late, but I hope that it helps: See Jack Z. Bratich, CONSPIRACY PANICS: POLITICAL RATIONALITY & POPULAR CULTURE, SUNY Press, 2008. One chapter is about activism related to the "9/11 Truth Movement." Another chapter, "Trust No One (on the Internet)," is about Webs of conspiracy.

One of my undergraduate students is writing her senior thesis on American 9/11 conspiracy theory groups. I can help her with a general sociological framing of these groups, but I'm not sure where to direct her in terms of literature on new media and conspiracy groups (apart from a good This American Life episode from National Public Radio). Do any of you have suggestions for specific articles/books on conspiracy theory groups and their use of new media? Thanks, CJ ___________________________________________ C.J.
