The leader's portrait, produced in a variety of media (statues,
coins, billboards, posters, stamps), is a key instrument of
propaganda in totalitarian regimes, but increasingly also dominates
political communication in democratic countries as a result of the
personalization and spectacularization of campaigning. Written by
an international group of contributors, this volume focuses on the
last one hundred years, covering a wide range of countries around
the globe, and dealing with dictatorial regimes and democratic
systems alike. As well as discussing the effigies that are produced
by the powers that be for propaganda purposes, it looks at the uses
of portraiture by antagonistic groups or movements as forms of
resistance, derision, denunciation and demonization. This volume
will be of interest to researchers in visual studies, art history,
media studies, cultural studies, politics and contemporary history.
