Info, intox ? Complot, rumeur ? La desinformation serait partout, et la verite nulle part. Ces questions obsedent nos societes ou il semble qu'en ligne tous puissent s'exprimer et que rien ne doive rester cache. Pourtant, la desinformation a une histoire. Elle s'exprime pendant la guerre froide et accompagne la mondialisation, avant que le web et les reseaux sociaux ne lui ouvrent de nouveaux horizons.En explorant les mecanismes de ce qui nous abuse et que nous refusons parfois de croire, des systemes de pouvoir apparaissent et de nouvelles formes d'ideologies se manifestent. Quand la verite des faits devient l'objet central de nos luttes, la desinformation n'est plus qu'une question morale elle est un enjeu strategique.

The powerful evidence-based analysis of current affairs led the author to question the basic myth of Western benevolence: from schoolroom experiments in democracy, exposure to radical ideas at home, and a mercy mission while at sea; to an unexpected encounter with former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook.

First published in 1988, Herman and Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent remains the go-to book for those interested in understanding why the mainstream media act as vehicles for power-elite propaganda. The analytical heart of Manufacturing Consent lies in what it calls 'The Propaganda Model.' According to this model, there are five filters which all newsworthy stories have to pass through before reaching the public sphere. However, a lot has changed in the subsequent thirty-something years. Consequently, a key question that needs to be addressed is whether Manufacturing Consent is still fit for purpose. The conceit underpinning Understanding Media Propaganda in the 21st Century: Manufacturing Consent Revisited and Revised is that the election of Trump in 2016 constitutes the proverbial 'year zero' for fourth estate journalism. As a result of the 'journalistic' cultural revolution that ensued, it argues that the Propaganda Model needs to be overhauled if it is to retain its epistemological bona fides. To this end, this book is a radical--in the true critical sense of the word--intervention into the propaganda/fake news debate. For students (in the broadest sense of the term) of media studies, journalism, communication studies and sociology, it provides both a compelling critique of Herman and Chomsky's Propaganda Model, while at the same time proffering a new explanatory model to understand why MSM output typically replicates the 'stenographer for power' playbook.

"Siegfried Kracauer stands out as one of the most significant theorists and critics of the twentieth century, acclaimed for his analyses of film and popular culture. However, his writing on propaganda and politics has been overshadowed by the works of his contemporaries and colleagues associated with the Frankfurt School. This book brings together a broad selection of Kracauer's work on media and political communication, much of it previously unavailable in English. It features writings spanning more than two decades, from studies of totalitarian propaganda written in the 1930s to wartime work on Nazi newsreels and anti-Semitism through to examinations of American and Soviet political messaging in the early Cold War period. These varied texts illuminate the interplay among politics, mass culture, and the media, and they encompass Kracauer's core concerns : the individual and the masses, the conditions of cultural production, and the critique of modernity. The introduction and afterword explore the significance of Kracauer's contributions to critical theory, film and media studies, and the analysis of political communication both in his era and the present day. At a time when demagoguery and bigotry loom over world politics, Kracauer's inquiries into topics such as the widespread appeal of fascist propaganda and the relationship of new media forms and technologies to authoritarianism are strikingly relevant"--

Un modèle théorique illustré d'exemples historiques et politiques permettant de comprendre par quels mécanismes les médias remplissent une fonction de propagande. Publié en 1988, le livre a suscité de nombreux débats. Plusieurs traductions en ont été proposées. La présente édition reprend le texte intégral et la traduction approuvée par les auteurs ainsi qu'un complément sur l'actualité du livre. ©Electre 2018 Probablement le livre le plus fondamental sur la critique des médias. En 1988, Manufacturing Consent provoqua une onde de choc. Noam Chomsky devint les plus influent critique de la politique internationale des US et de la désinformation qui l'accompagne. Moins connu, Edward Herman est en fait à l'origine de ce projet exceptionnel. Tous deux rencontrèrent l'hostilité des médias, y compris français. Qui semblent avoir du mal à accepter que le simple citoyen puisse jeter un oeil dans les coulisses de l'information. Pourtant, en ces temps de méfiance généralisée et de crise morale, vérifier et débattre nos infos, n'est-ce pas une démarche de salut public ? Publié jusqu'ici dans une traduction tronquée et bâclée, voici enfin Fabriquer un consentement en version intégrale, traduction originale approuvée par les auteurs. Avec un complément inédit démontrant sa totale actualité.

As Philip Taylor has written, 'The challenge (of the modern information age) is to ensure that no single propaganda source gains monopoly over the information and images that shape our thoughts. If this happens, the war propagandists will be back in business again.' Propaganda came of age in the Twentieth Century. The development of mass- and multi-media offered a fertile ground for propaganda while global conflict provided the impetus needed for its growth. Propaganda has however become a portmanteau word, which can be interpreted in a number of different ways. What are the characteristic features of propaganda, and how can it be defined? This book traces the development of techniques of 'opinion management' from World War I to the war in Afghanistan. It reveals how state leaders and spin-doctors operating at the behest of the state, sought to shape popular attitudes - at home and overseas - endeavouring to harness new media with the objective of winning hearts and minds. In doing so, it provides compelling evidence of how the study and practice of propaganda today is shaped by its history.

Une guerre à laquelle nous n'étions pas préparés se déroule sous nos yeux, pour l'essentiel sans que nous en soyons conscients, et constitue pour nos démocraties une menace mortelle. Depuis la fin de la guerre froide et l'essor d'Internet et de médias planétaires, la militarisation de l'information par les États bouleverse l'ordre géopolitique. La guerre de l'information, qui oppose les États autoritaires aux régimes démocratiques, démultiplie les champs de bataille et fait de chaque citoyen un potentiel soldat. Plus que jamais, la puissance des États -qu'il s'agisse de leur hard power, leur soft power ou leur sharp power- dépend de leur capacité à mettre leurs moyens de communication au service de leur influence, en recourant à la cyberguerre, à la désinformation ou à l'instrumentalisation de théories du complot. À l'ère de l'intelligence artificielle et de la guerre cognitive, les médias sociaux sont le théâtre d'une sans merci, sans fin, dont nos esprits sont l'enjeu. Dans cet ouvrage, David Colon, spécialiste de l'histoire de la propagande et de la manipulation de masse, décrit les mécanismes de cette guerre longtemps restée secrète en dévoilant les stratégies de ses commanditaires et en décrivant les tactiques et le parcours de ses acteurs, qu'ils soient agents secrets, diplomates, journalistes ou hackers
