“…In this case, the speaker is orienting her argument to a view within her opinion community that “ the majority in Skopia … were a threat to Greece ” (lines 18–19). According to her alternative account, “ the Skopians ” had not been responsible for the crisis, but had themselves been the unwitting pawns in a conspiracy on the part of a third‐party nation, specifically “ the Americans .” Anti‐Americanism is a widely available interpretative repertoire in Greece (Kirtsoglou & Theodossopoulos, ) and can constitute a “common point of reference” across the political spectrum (Lialiouti, ). Anti‐American themes were regularly employed by our research respondents.…”

Conspiracy accounting is often regarded as an atypical, pathological form of political reasoning, and little research has considered how ordinary social actors may refer to political conspiracies in the course of argument. In this article, we consider the spontaneous use of conspiracy narratives by politically engaged Greek citizens in interview discussions of the Macedonian crisis. Analysis revealed that conspiracy narratives were typically used to challenge dominant representations that attributed the Macedonian crisis to Greek xenophobic nationalism. Specifically, conspiracy accounts were used to dispute assumptions concerning Greece's majority status by representing the political opposition as a consortium rather than a single out‐group, by recasting the threat posed to Greece as a matter of realistic rather than symbolic competition, and by extending the historical frame of reference to encompass past and prospective future threats to the Greek people and the Greek state. In conclusion, we note how the use of conspiratorial reasoning may be used to construct complex causal arguments concerning intergroup relations and to challenge dominant ideological assumptions about social hierarchy and political legitimacy. In this respect, conspiratorial reasoning might be regarded as a prototypical form of intergroup representation.

Although there are many reasons behind anti-Americanism in South Korea in the 21 st century, it is believed by some experts that the anti-Americanism originated over a decade ago from the 2002 Olympic short track speed skating controversy, and the issues with the Boeing F-15K. Based on exemplification and social cognitive theories, this study examines the extent to which exposure to the South Korean mass media coverage of these two concrete exemplars of negative American images, Olympic short track speed skating and the Boeing F-15K, affected South Koreans' negative perceptions of America. Results revealed that the South Korean mass media coverage of negative American images serves as the basis for evaluating two well-known American-coded issues: the American soccer team's performance in the 2002 South Korea and Japan World Cup, and the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 2001.
