This study analyzed Michael Moore’s <i>Fahrenheit 9/11</i> from a dualistic approach. Utilizing media scholar Nichols’ documentary modes of representation, this study identified three emergent modes: expository, participatory, and politically reflexive. This project also examined the extent to which these three modes reflected a particular view toward the rhetorical situation. Often times situations arise that call for a dual response. Jamieson and Campbell’s generic hybrid was also used to assess the extent in which <i>Fahrenheit 9/11</i> responded to the needs of the situation and the audience. The hybrid blend Moore used was comprised of the conspiracy and diatribe genres. Not only did these two genres fulfill the perceived needs of the audience and situation, but they also worked together in such a way that elements of each genre buttress the weaknesses of the other. 2006-04-03 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1141244903 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1141244903 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
