Abstract/Contents

Abstract: “Propaganda is a form of communication that attempts to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist,” write Garth Jowett and Victoria O’Donnell in Readings in Propaganda and Persuasion. Propaganda aims to influence public opinion by spreading information regardless of facts, as well as rumors or even lies. The mass media served as a system to communicate messages and symbols to the general populace, and propagandists used newspapers or other similar mediums to spread messages efficiently. This paper concentrates on the Japanese use of multicolored woodblock prints or nishiki-e, to disseminate targeted messages in the late nineteenth century, focusing on two incidents in Korea.
