The production of culture was once the domain of artists, but beginning in the early 1900s, the emerging fields of public relations, advertising and marketing transformed the way the powerful communicate with the rest of us. A century later, the tools are more sophisticated than ever, the onslaught more relentless. In Culture as Weapon, acclaimed curator and critic Nato Thompson reveals how institutions use art and culture to ensure profits and constrain dissent--and shows us that there are alternatives. An eye-opening account of the way advertising, media, and politics work today, Culture as Weapon offers a radically new way of looking at our world"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aArts and society$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aArts$xPolitical aspects$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aSocial influence 606 $aMass media and culture 615 0$aArts and society$xHistory 615 0$aArts$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aSocial influence. 615 0$aMass media and culture. 676 $a700.103 686 $aSOC002010$aPOL038000$aBUS002000$2bisacsh 700 $aThompson$b Nato$01246005 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910159013303321 996 $aCulture As Weapon$92889309 997 $aUNINA
