Description

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.
