On Visual Propaganda in the Digital Age: An interview with Matteo Stocchetti

Publication at Faculty of Social Sciences |
2016

Abstract

The interview is based on Matteo Stocchetti's research that is focused on visual propaganda in the digital age, which is primarily dependent on the blurring of reality or, more specifically, on permeating virtually every dimension of social communication. Furthermore, he addresses a current strong tendency to pursue the spectacle and emotional involvement rather than rational information and ourreliance on the visual can easily inhibit critical reflection.
