"Thirty years after Chomsky and Herman elaborated the Propaganda Model this title aims to introduce a new generation of readers to it. It presents cutting-edge research demonstrating the model's general validity as well as new attempts - in the light of digital media and 21st century politics - to critically update, expand, and refine it. International researchers thus analyse the continuities and new developments in media Environments throughout various regions of the world. Part I addresses the theoretical and methodological dimensions of the PM beginning with an interview with Edward Herman on the model itself. Part II reflects on propaganda as a concept and practice within new mediated digital communications systems and interfaces. Applications of the Propaganda Model are featured in Part III notably new forms of media and content not previously analysed within it: the entertainment industries through the analysis of television, professional sports, Hollywood movies and videogames using quantitative and qualitative research methods. The last section presents case studies of corporate media and reporting practices as reflections of elite power. An extensive re-visioning of the PM this book concludes by identifying the fundamental dimensions of the model, the key modifications and expansions that are suggested--such as the inclusion of new filters--whilst assessing the model's overall value for conducting research in different geographical contexts and media systems and products.".

Propaganda is a subjective information primarily used to influence an audience and further a political agenda. In China, it has a long history but has been most effective in modern society. What exactly is propaganda ? Why does it exist and why does the public tolerate it ? The book answers these questions by tracing back to the emergence and development of integrated propaganda and scientific propaganda. On the basis of that, it focuses on the emergence of propaganda concept in China, the establishment of Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China's propaganda concept, intellectuals and propaganda, debate on propaganda concept in China after 1949 as well as the emergence of Propaganda 3.0 that coordinates integrated propaganda and scientific propaganda. Setting propaganda under the framework of modernity, the book explains how different groups have legitimatized propaganda since the 20th century. From a reasonable and neutral standpoint, the author describes the confrontation among various propaganda concepts and discourses, displaying a panorama of the mutual conflicts between nation and individuals, control and freedom, ideas and bodies.

Totalitarianism has been an object of extensive communicative research since its heyday: already in the late 1930s, such major cultural figures as George Orwell or Hannah Arendt were busy describing the visual and verbal languages of Stalinism and Nazism. After the war, many fashionable trends in social sciences and humanities (ranging from Begriffsgeschichte and Ego-Documentology to Critical Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis) were called upon to continue this media-centered trend in the face of increasing political determination of the burgeoing field. Nevertheless, the integration of historical, sociological and linguistic knowledge about totalitarian society on a firm factual ground remains the thing of the future. This book is the first step in this direction. By using history and theory of communication as an integrative methodological device, it reaches out to those properties of totalitarian society which appear to be beyond the grasp of specific disciplines. Furthermore, this functional approach allows to extend the analysis of communicative practices commonly associated with fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and Soviet Union, to other locations (France, United States of America and Great Britain in the 1930s) or historical contexts (post-Soviet developments in Russia or Kyrgyzstan). This, in turn, leads to the revaluation of the very term »totalitarian«: no longer an ideological label or a stock attribute of historical narration, it gets a life of its own, defining a specific constellation of hierarchies, codes and networks within a given society. »Die einzelnen Beiträge [...] bieten [...] ein facettenreiches Bild von kommunikativen Praktiken und asymmetrischen Öffentlichkeiten in Diktaturen, wobei der Schwerpunkt der Beiträge auf der ehemaligen Sowjetunion liegt. Anregend wird der Band aber durch die Einbeziehung von Beispielen aus den USA, Frankreich, Großbritannien, einem Überblick über Diskurse zu Folterungen (von der Antike bis zu den Anschlägen am 11. September 2001 in den USA) etc. Das heißt, sowohl der Zeitraum wie auch die Länderbeispiele sind weitgespannt. Man kann dies kritisieren [...], doch - und das möchte ich für diesen Band betonen - kann Vielfalt auch sehr anregend sein.« Inge Marszolek, H-Soz-u-Kult, 09.03.2011/Clio-online, 1 (2011) »Die Beiträge sind in ihrer Gesamtheit stimmig zusammengestellt und wurden sorgfältig editiert. Der Band vermittelt eine breitgefächerte Methodenpalette zum Studium des Totalitarismus als eines historischen und kommunikationstechnischen Phänomens, welches ergiebige, gegenwartsnahe Diskussionsfelder eröffnet und zu weiteren konstruktiven interdisziplinären Arbeiten einlädt [...].« Konstantin Kaminskij, MEDIENwissenschaft, 1 (2011) Reviewed in: GMK-News, 1 (2011) Násilí, 23/11 (2010) IDÄNTUTKIMUS, 4 (2010), Jussi Lassila laviedesidées.fr, 3 (2011), Larissa Zakharova Problemy sovremennogo obrazovanija, 5 (2011), Boris Lanin
