Examines the ideology of sacrifice in Soviet and post-Soviet
culture, analyzing a range of fictional and real-life figures who
became part of a pantheon of "heroes" primarily because of their
victimhood. In Making Martyrs: The Language of Sacrifice in Russian
Culture from Stalin to Putin, Yuliya Minkova examines the language
of canonization and vilification in Soviet and post-Soviet media,
official literature, and popular culture. She argues that early
Soviet narratives constructed stories of national heroes and
villains alike as examples of uncovering a person's "true self."
The official culture used such stories to encourage heroic
self-fashioningamong Soviet youth and as a means of self-policing
and censure. Later Soviet narratives maintained this sacrificial
imagery in order to assert the continued hold of Soviet ideology on
society, while post-Soviet discourses of victimhood appeal to
nationalist nostalgia. Sacrificial mythology continues to maintain
a persistent hold in contemporary culture, as evidenced most
recently by the Russian intelligentsia's fascination with the
former oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the Russian media coverage of
the war in Ukraine, laws against US adoption of Russian children
and against the alleged propaganda of homosexuality aimed at
minors, renewed national pride in wartime heroes, and the current
usage of the words "sacred victim" in public discourse. In
examining these various cases, the book traces the trajectory of
sacrificial language from individual identity construction to its
later function of lending personality and authority to the Soviet
and post-Soviet state. Yuliya Minkova is Assistant Professor of
Russian at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
From the taunting videos of Osama Bin Laden to the partisan
euphoria of the embedded journalist, from the visual rhetoric of
the anti-globalisation movement to the empire of spin to the
scalding polemics of American campaign advertising, propaganda is
back. This book provides a full and detailed analysis of the
phenomenon of propaganda, its meaning, content and urgent
significance. It is one of the most original works ever published
on the subject. While it applies a conceptual approach to the study
of propaganda, the theoretics are grounded in practice. Insightful
case studies on Symbolic Government, negative campaign advertising,
single issue group polemic and corporate propaganda, culminate in a
vivid narrative of the role of propaganda in driving the
remorseless new conflict which began on September 11 2001. Contents
Part One: Defining what and reasoning why 1. A question of meaning
2. Explaining propaganda Part Two: A conceptual arrangement 3. An

During World War II, jazz embodied everything that was appealing
about a democratic society as envisioned by the Western Allied
powers. Labelled 'degenerate' by Hitler's cultural apparatus, jazz
was adopted by the Allies to win the hearts and minds of the German
public. It was also used by the Nazi Minister for Propaganda,
Joseph Goebbels, to deliver a message of Nazi cultural and military
superiority. When Goebbels co-opted young German and foreign
musicians into 'Charlie and his Orchestra' and broadcast their
anti-Allied lyrics across the English Channel, jazz took centre
stage in the propaganda war that accompanied World War II on the
ground. The Jazz War is based on the largely unheard oral testimony
of the personalities behind the German and British wartime radio
broadcasts, and chronicles the evolving relationship between jazz
music and the Axis and Allied war efforts. Studdert shows how jazz
both helped and hindered the Allied cause as Nazi soldiers secretly
tuned in to British radio shows while London party-goers danced the
night away in demimonde `bottle parties', leading them to be
branded a `menace' in Parliament. This book will appeal to students
of the history of jazz, broadcasting, cultural studies, and the
history of World War II.

How to understand propaganda art in the post-truth era-and how to
create a new kind of emancipatory propaganda art. Propaganda
art-whether a depiction of joyous workers in the style of socialist
realism or a film directed by Steve Bannon-delivers a message. But,
as Jonas Staal argues in this illuminating and timely book,
propaganda does not merely make a political point; it aims to
construct reality itself. Political regimes have shaped our world
according to their interests and ideology; today, popular mass
movements push back by constructing other worlds with their own
propagandas. In Propaganda Art in the 21st Century, Staal offers an
essential guide for understanding propaganda art in the post-truth
era. Staal shows that propaganda is not a relic of a totalitarian
past but occurs today even in liberal democracies. He considers
different historical forms of propaganda art, from avant-garde to
totalitarian and modernist, and he investigates the us versus them
dichotomy promoted in War on Terror propaganda art-describing,
among other things, a fictional scenario from the Department of
Homeland Security, acted out in real time, and military training
via videogame. He discusses artistic and cultural productions
developed by such popular mass movements of the twenty-first
century as the Occupy, activism by and in support of undocumented
migrants and refugees, and struggles for liberation in such
countries as Mali and Syria. Staal, both a scholar of propaganda
and a self-described propaganda artist, proposes a new model of
emancipatory propaganda art-one that acknowledges the relation
between art and power and takes both an aesthetic and a political
position in the practice of world-making.

Our 24/7 lives are saturated with round-the-clock fear.
Scare-tactic headlines fill our homes and our public spaces. If
it's not the war on terror, it's the new war on the middle class.
Crisis is the new black, as catastrophe after casualty after crash
shape the order of the day. Nothing to Lose But Our Fear delivers a
counter blow to this rampant culture of fear fuelled by the likes
of CNN, Fox and the Daily Mail. Exploring contemporary and
historical manifestations of this controlling force, the
conversations in this collection go beyond just scrutinizing what
constitutes rational versus irrational fear, or identifying ways in
which human fears are manipulated by political players. They reveal
how fear antagonizes and changes our subjectivity and, crucially,
how the political use of fear has been resisted in different times
and places, by different people across the globe.
This open access volume presents the latest research in propaganda
studies, featuring contributions from a range of leading scholars
and covering the most cutting-edge scholarship in the study of
propaganda from World War I to the present. Propaganda has always
played a key role in shaping attitudes during periods of conflict
and the academic study of propaganda, commencing in earnest in
1915, has never really left us. We continue to want to understand
propaganda's inner-workings and, in doing so, to control and
confine its influence. We remain anxious about pernicious
information warfare campaigns, especially those that seemingly
endanger liberal democracy or freedom of thought. What are the
challenges, then, of studying propaganda studies in the
twenty-first century? Much scholarship remains locked into the
study of state-led campaigns, however an area of special concern in
recent years has been the loss of official control over the basic
instruments of mass communication. This has been seen in the rise
of 'fake news' and the ability of non-state actors to influence
political events. The ebook editions of this book are available

Media plays a specific role within modern society. It has been and
continues to be a tool for spreading terrorist messages. However,
it can just as easily be used as a tool for countering terrorism.
During these challenging times where both international and
domestic terrorism continue to threaten the livelihoods of
citizens, it is imperative that studies are undertaken to examine
the media's role in the spread of terrorism, as well as to explore
strategies and protocols that can be put in place to mitigate the
spread. Media and Terrorism in the 21st Century presents the
emerging ideas and insights from experts, academicians, and
professionals on the role media and new media plays in terrorist
propaganda from a critical international perspective. It examines
the historical relation between media and terror and analyzes the
difficulties and obstacles presented by the relation in the 21st
century. Covering topics such as AI-based dataveillance, media
development trends, and virtual terrorism, this book is an
indispensable resource for government officials, communications
experts, politicians, security professionals, sociologists,
students and educators of higher education, researchers, and
academicians.
This collection of nearly two dozen detachable, frameable,
propaganda posters offer an outstanding selection of examples from
East Germany, Russia, Southeast Asia, and China. Reproduced in
startling color and printed on high-quality paper, they offer
fascinating historical insight, as well as sublime examples of how
graphic art can be both highly effective as well as visually
stunning. The Russian October Revolution of 1917 marked the
beginning of decades of communist rule that spanned large parts of
the world. For many years and in many countries, the most reliable
means of spreading state propaganda was through posters like the
ones included in this beautiful collection. Distinguished by their
bold, bright colors, and generally featuring one or two main
figures or a single forceful image, they were ubiquitously
plastered on the walls of factories, farms, office buildings,
transportation centers, and public squares. They exhorted citizens
to proclaim their patriotism through hard work, exercise, and
loyalty, and celebrated technological advances in science, space
travel, and architecture. Representing an impressive array of
styles, cultures, and historical eras this collection is suitable
for walls and coffee tables alike.
