Numerous studies document that better-looking candidates win more votes. Yet the causal mechanisms leading to this advantage remain unexplored. We consider for the first time a potential trigger of ...the looks–vote association that has previously been suggested but not tested in the literature: exposure to campaign posters of the candidates. We test this explanation with German election survey data, which we augment with ratings—provided by MTurk workers from the U.S.—of the attractiveness and facial competence of about 1,000 district candidates. Confirming previous studies on Germany, we find that attractiveness is positively associated with candidate vote share (1.2 ppts. min–max). At the voter level, we find tentative evidence for the idea that the association is moderated by exposure to campaign posters: effects are in the expected directions and their sizes consistent with what we observe at the candidate level, but we cannot always reject the null hypothesis of no effect. In contrast to attractiveness, we do not find conclusive evidence for an effect of facial competence in the election considered. These preliminary results suggest that inundating voters with candidate posters, as in elections in Germany and many other places, might be a reason for voting based on looks.
Why did collectors seek out posters and collect ephemera during the late- nineteenth and the twentieth centuries? How have such materials been integrated into institutional collections today? What ...inspired collectors to build significant holdings of works from cultures other than their own? And what are the issues facing curators and collectors of digital ephemera today? These are among the questions tackled in this volume-the first to examine the practices of collecting prints, posters, and ephemera during the modern and contemporary periods. A wide range of case studies feature collections of printed materials from the United States, Latin America, France, Germany, Great Britain, China, Japan, Russia, Iran, and Cuba. Fourteen essays and one roundtable discussion, all specially commissioned from art historians, curators, and collectors for this volume, explore key issues such as the roles of class, politics, and gender, and address historical contexts, social roles, value, and national and transnational aspects of collecting practices. The global scope highlights cross-cultural connections and contributes to a new understanding of the place of prints, posters and ephemera within an increasingly international art world.

The paper begins with the assumption that an artistic theatre poster is composed of two interacting semiotic systems: the language (the title of the play, the name of the author, the place of stage ...production, the name or signature of the author of the poster, the year of its creation), and the image (graphic signs, meaningful typography, graphical arrangement, colour scheme). These two codes are interwoven; linguistic signs often fulfill the function of the image in multimodal messages, and vice versa. The application of the category of multimodality allows us to superimpose the meanings of iconic images, mental images, and images hidden behind words, when reading the content of a poster. In artistic theatre posters, verbal and visual signs play with senses and allow the reader to activate different contexts, which leads to a multitude of interpretations. Recipients are not obliged to read the creative, multimodal message in a single, prescribed way. They are free to follow various parallel interpretative routes. Signs of the poster play with each other and with the reader, and the entire meaning of the multimodal message can change as one of the multiple senses of a word, an image, or a colour is singled out.
Ovim radom prikazana je politička propaganda kroz Zbirke plakata brodskog i gospićkog državnog arhiva s osvrtom na stanje u drugim arhivima i Hrvatskom memorijalno-dokumentacijskom centru Domovinskog ...rata. Kako je politička propaganda služila različitim državnim sustavima vršeći utjecaj na živote ljudi, radom su obuhvaćena razdoblja 20. stoljeća u kojima je ona najizražajnije pokazala svoju moć. To su Prvi i Drugi svjetski rat te periodi stvaranja socijalističke Jugoslavije i Republike Hrvatske. Zanimljivo je kako je politička propaganda služila različitim državnim sustavima te utjecala na živote ljudi. Tijekom Drugog svjetskog rata plakat je postao najmoćniji oblik vizualne komunikacije zahvaljujući kojemu je danas moguće stvoriti predodžbu o političkoj i društvenoj klimi protekloga vremena. Plakati koji se čuvaju u državnim arhivima mogu biti značajan sekundaran izvor povijesnih podataka.
