    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisHow to persuade citizens to enlist? How to convince them to fight in a war which was, for many, distant in terms of kilometres as well as interest? Modern persuasion techniques, both political and commercial, were used to motivate enlistment and financial support to build a factory of consensus. The propagandists manipulated the public, guiding their thoughts and actions according to the wishes of those in power and were therefore the forerunners of spin doctors and marketing and advertising professionals. Their posters caught the attention of members of the public with images of children and beautiful women, involving them, nourishing their inner needs for well-being and social prestige, motivating them by showing them testimonials in amusing and adventurous situations, and inspiring their way of perceiving the enemy and the war itself, whose objective was to make the world safe for democracy.In the discourse of this strategy we find storytelling, humour, satire and fTable of ContentsPreface Introduction 1 Propaganda and Persuasion2 Persuading for the Great War3 The Organization of the Persuasive Apparatus4 Attracting Attention 4.1 Children as decoy 4.2 Beauty as decoy5 Repeating the Message6 The Power of Questions7 The Persuasion of the Source 7.1 The authority of source 7.2 The authority of quotations8 Unity is Strength 8.1 Silencing the critics 8.2 Origins unite 8.3 The call of the banner 8.4 Other patriotic symbols of unity9 Target 1: The Home Front 9.1 Out of duty and solidarity 9.2 To educate, inform 9.3 Persuading to invest 9.4 Children and the principle of familiarity 9.5 Women as weapons of persuasion 9.6 Reciprocity.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisMuseums, Modernity and Conflict examines the history of the relationship between museums, collections and war, revealing how museums have responded to and been shaped by war and conflicts of various sorts. Written by a mixture of museum professionals and academics and ranging across Europe, North America and the Middle East, this book examines the many ways in which museums were affected by major conflicts such as the World Wars, considers how and why they attempted to contribute to the war effort, analyses how wartime collecting shaped the nature of the objects held by a variety of museums, and demonstrates how museums of war and of the military came into existence during this period. Closely focused around conflicts which had the most wide-ranging impact on museums, this collection includes reflections on museums such as the Louvre, the Stedelijk in the Netherlands, the Canadian War Museum and the State Art Collections Dresden.Museums, Modernity anTable of ContentsIntroduction: Museums and War Kate HillPart I: Collecting and Conflict1.Salvage and Speculation: The London Art Market After the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71)’Thomas Stammers2.
