This important new book assembles the work of leading figures in
contemporary propaganda scholarship. Analyzing propaganda from a
multidisciplinary focus, the book presents several contemporary
theoretical perspectives, explores key issues in propaganda
analysis, and defines two major research traditions while providing
examples of their applications. The contributors examine many of
the most complicated issues in the field: the nature of suggestion,
the relation of propaganda to ideology, and the interaction of
pluralism and truth. Various chapters, written by scholars of
communication, rhetoric, journalism, mass communication,
government, history, and political science, consider both
historical and contemporary issues and events in relation to
propaganda. Propaganda: A Pluralistic Perspective marks the renewed
development of scholarship in this fascinating field and extends
the depth and range of propaganda analysis. The book begins with a
focus on theoretical and definitional concerns, including a history
of American propaganda analysis and traces four social responses to
the subject. Further chapters develop different theoretical
positions from diverse perspectives. The book concludes with a
focus on key issues in propaganda research, including a study of
First Amendment issues in the recent legal controversy over the
classification of three Canadian films as political propaganda.
Students and scholars of communication, rhetoric, journalism,
history, political science, sociology, and many other disciplines
will find Propaganda: A Pluralistic Perspective a provocative book
full of stimulating ideas.
