Propaganda and the Everyday 2022

Purpose

What is propaganda? What isn't? Does it even matter? This course aims to support participants in getting a better grip on how propaganda operates in people's everyday lives. We'll reflect on some of the key questions that the production, circulation and reception of propagandist material raises. Think: issues about freedom, persuasion, trust, (mis)information and vulnerability. Over the course of the week, we will build a propaganda analysis ‘toolkit’ to apply our insights to concrete cases.

Format

All-remote (100% online). Talks are pre-recorded and go 'live' daily. Accompanying further readings (optional) will be made available digitally. We'll meet in daily discussion/brainstorm/conversation sessions for an hour or so to dive deeper into issues raised by the material.
