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.ArtPolitical aspectsHistory21st centuryArt and societyHistory21st centuryPower (Social sciences)Propaganda in artArtPolitical aspectsHistoryArt and societyHistoryPower (Social sciences)Propaganda in art.701.03Staal Jonas1981-1614169MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811657603321Propaganda art in the 21st century3943858UNINA02830aam 2200481 n 450 991098584820332120250626215850.083-8142-343-0(CKB)4100000011331828(ceeol)ceeol870156(CEEOL)870156(EXLCZ)99410000001133182820252218d2019 ||l |polÈthos przywódcy politycznego w myśli starożytnej i renesansowej.

Their research constantly stimulates the imagination of researchers and provokes further interpretations. What seemed particularly interesting to me was to illustrate, by dint of deliberations focused on the ethos of a political leader, a certain continuity of thought that can be noticed in the views of these thinkers, and also to indicate the differences appearing in them, resulting from the personal nature of their perceptions and individual understanding of state reality. Despite a keen interest in the writings of Plato, Cicero or Machiavelli, and in the few works that compare ancient thought with the opinions of Renaissance authors, there is still a shortage of this kind of study. My sense of unsatisfaction was augmented by the realization that the work of Francesco Guicciardini – which is a valuable source of information about the social and political situation of Renaissance Florence and offers an additional reference point for Machiavelli's opinions, in this way painting a more complete picture of the era and allowing a better understanding of the contemporary trends – has not been properly recognized in the Polish literature.Political scienceHistoryPhilosophyLanguage and Literature StudiesStudies of LiteraturePolitical sciencePhilosophyPolitical scienceAncient WorldPolitical science.HistoryPhilosophyLanguage and Literature StudiesStudies of LiteraturePolitical sciencePhilosophy.Political science.Ancient WorldCzapińska-Bambara Marta1827654Central and Eastern European Online LibraryceeolceeolBOOK9910985848203321Èthos przywódcy politycznego w myśli starożytnej i renesansowej.
