Our democracy today is fraught with political campaigns, lobbyists, liberal media, and Fox News commentators, all using language to influence the way we think and reason about public issues. Even so, ...many of us believe that propaganda and manipulation aren't problems for us--not in the way they were for the totalitarian societies of the mid-twentieth century. In How Propaganda Works, Jason Stanley demonstrates that more attention needs to be paid. He examines how propaganda operates subtly, how it undermines democracy--particularly the ideals of democratic deliberation and equality--and how it has damaged democracies of the past.
To discover how war can affect the status of women in industrial countries, Leila Rupp examines mobilization propaganda directed at women in Nazi Germany and the United States. Her book explores the ...relationship between ideology and policy, challenging the idea that wars improve the status of women by bringing them into new areas of activity.
Using fresh sources for both Germany and the United States, Professor Rupp considers the images of women before and during the war, the role of propaganda in securing their support, and the ideal of feminine behavior in each country. Her analysis shows that propaganda was more intensive in the United States than in Germany, and that it figured in the success of American mobilization and the failure of the German campaign to enlist women's participation. The most important function of propaganda, however, consisted in adapting popular conceptions to economic need. The author finds that public images of women can adjust to wartime priorities without threatening traditional assumptions about social roles. The mode of adaptation, she suggests, helps to explain the lack of change in women's status in postwar society. Far-reaching in its implications for feminist studies, this book offers a new and fruitful approach to the social, economic, and political history of Germany and the United States.

W artykule przybliżono dorobek naukowy poświęcony analizie działalności centralnego aparatu KC PZPR, który zajmował się nadzorem nad propagandą i mass mediami w Polsce w latach 1948–1989/90. Dokonano ...przeglądu rozważań po roku 1989. Skupienie się na analizie badawczej decyzji politycznych i działalności członków Biura Politycznego i Sekretariatu KC PZPR oraz wybranych wydziałów KC PZPR odpowiedzialnych za funkcjonowanie propagandy w Polsce Ludowej jest zadaniem koniecznym, by zrozumieć sposób sprawowania władzy w państwie niedemokratycznym. To centralny aparat PZPR w pełni kontrolował tworzenie, przepływ i rozpowszechnianie treści kierowanych do masowego odbiorcy z wykorzystaniem prasy, radia i telewizji. Wynik przeprowadzonej analizy pozwala wnioskować, że dotychczas nie zaistniała w polskim dorobku naukowym monografia poświęcona temu ważnemu obszarowi działalności centralnych władz PZPR. Z wyjątkiem biografii politycznej Mieczysława Rakowskiego pozostali główni koordynatorzy prowadzenia polityki propagandowej również nie doczekali się do dnia dzisiejszego poświęconych im publikacji. Podobnie przedstawia się sytuacja z przybliżeniem poszczególnych centralnych struktur partyjnych bezpośrednio odpowiedzialnych za działania nadzorcze w interesującym nas obszarze. Trzeba jednak podkreślić, że istnieje na rynku naukowym szereg prac o charakterze przyczynkarskim odnoszących się zarówno do centralnych struktur partyjnych, jak i liderów PZPR stojących na ich czele odpowiedzialnych za nadzór nad mediami i propagandą, w których zostały przeanalizowane wybrane problemy, zazwyczaj w ograniczonym przedziale czasowym.The article takes a look at the academic work devoted to the analysis of the activities of the central apparatus of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party (PZPR), which was in charge of the supervision of propaganda and the mass media in Poland from 1948 to 1989/90. Considerations developed after 1989 are reviewed. Focusing on the research analysis of the political decisions and activities of members of the Political Bureau and Secretariat of the Central Committee Jacek Wojsław 22 of the PZPR and selected departments of the Central Committee of the PZPR responsible for the functioning of propaganda in People’s Poland is a necessary task in order to understand the way power was exercised in a non-democratic state. It was the central apparatus of the Polish United Workers’ Party (PZPR) that fully controlled the creation, flow and dissemination of content directed to the mass public using the press, radio and television. The result of the conducted analysis indicates that so far there has been no monograph devoted to this important area of activity of the central authorities of the PZPR in the Polish scholarly output. With the exception of Mieczysław Rakowski’s political biography, the other main coordinators of propaganda policy have not been described to date either. The situation is similar with the approximation of individual central party structures directly responsible for supervisory activities in the area of interest. It must be stressed, however, that there are a number of works on the academic market of a contributory nature relating to both central party structures and the PZPR leaders at their head responsible for overseeing the media and propaganda, in which selected problems have been analysed, usually within a limited period of time.
Armenians have taken on great propaganda activities since the 1920s to prove that they have been subjected to a genocide. They have written many boks, published many articles in scientific journals, ...and continue to do so. While only Armenians initially produced works on the subject, researchers from many different countries around the world are seen to have recently begun writing on the subject.
