DESCRIPTION:<p>Propaganda is a form of mass communication put in the service of political goals or agents. This is a neutral description. An additional question is whether propaganda is essentially manipulative. Social scientists and philosophers have offered different accounts of what propaganda is\, of how and why it works. There is however no agreement about whether it is intrinsically bad (or defective)\, although it is perhaps significant that some of the greatest propagandists of history have defended its value. There are also disagreements about whether it is effective\, and if so\, to what extent. Must populations mobilized by propaganda be gullible? Does propaganda necessarily involve lies? If not\, what is it that mobilizes the targets of propagandistic messages? What role do narratives and fictions play in propaganda and its power? The workshop brings together academics who research on propaganda\, information warfare\, and conspiracy theories.</p>
