Beschreibung

Propaganda in Art delves into how art has historically been a tool for political influence and shaping public opinion across various political systems. It examines how political leaders and social movements alike have harnessed visual rhetoric to legitimize power and mobilize supporters. The book argues that art transcends mere aesthetics when used as propaganda, instead becoming a functional instrument within larger power structures.

 


 
The book explores how art serves as a means of political legitimation, analyzing examples from ancient empires to modern dictatorships. It also investigates art's role in driving social change, particularly how protest movements have utilized visual media to challenge established power. This exploration includes a look at the ethical dilemmas surrounding artistic freedom and censorship, offering a balanced perspective on these complex issues.

 


 
Beginning with a theoretical framework, the book progresses through historical applications and ethical considerations, ultimately equipping readers with the skills to critically evaluate visual messages. By understanding the historical evolution of political systems and the rise of mass media, readers can better discern the subtle ways in which power operates through cultural channels, thereby influencing beliefs and behaviors on a societal scale.

102 Minutes - The Untold Story...

Jim Dwyer, Kevin Flynn

The dramatic and moving account of the struggle for life inside the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, when every minute counted. 
At 8:46 AM on September 11, 2001, 14,000 people were inside the twin towers -- reading e-mails, making trades, eating croissants at Windows on the World. Over the next 102 minutes, each would become part of a drama for the ages, one witnessed only by the people who lived it -- until now. 
New York Times reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn rely on hundreds of interviews; thousands of pages of oral histories; and phone, e-mail, and emergency radio transcripts. They cross a bridge of voices to go inside the infernos, seeing cataclysm and heroism, one person at a time, to tell the affecting, authoritative saga of the men and women -- the 12,000 who escaped and the 2,749 who perished -- who made 102 minutes count as never before.

Notes on Feminism - Being a...

Lauren Windle

Is it possible to be a Christian and a feminist?
The hot topic of feminism has been well documented and debated in mainstream media and yet, as Christians we come to the conversation from a slightly different vantage point. For starters, we have the benefit of a personal relationship with our creator plus the ultimate handbook in the Bible to work out what is right and just when it comes to equality. So why do many Christians feel the Bible presents a barrier rather than a boost when it comes to championing equality between the sexes?
Lauren Windle draws upon her years as a journalist to weave together a wide range of voices on a subject that society has been wrestling with but, in the Church, few are brave enough to probe too deeply for fear of what they might find. This book isn't here to tell you what to think. The views it presents are intended to inform, not form, your opinion on key topics, including: defining feminism, the lessons we teach boys, female preachers, a woman's place in the household, beauty standards and #ChurchToo.
Notes On Feminism features contributions from several high-profile women:
- Writer and model Katie Piper on true beauty
- Olympian Abigail Irozuru on women's bodies
- Comedian Cassandra Maria on why people think women aren't funny
- Author Tiffany Bluhm on why people don't believe women
- Journalist Delphine Chui on why she isn't a feminist.
If feminist stirrings feel like a barrier to your faith, let Notes on Feminism help you unpick the confusion and ongoing debate, while keeping God at the centre.

He skillfully explores the whole corpus of moral reflection among philosophers (Plutarch, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca) and physicians of the era, and uncovers an increasing mistrust of pleasure and growing anxiety over sexual activity and its consequences.
