DAY 10

  • WATCH MY PREZI PRESENTATION  or VISIT MY OTHER BLOG at lewebpedagogique.com/howartyou and choose the Propaganda vs caricature tag.
  • If you can’t watch the presentation, read these paragraphs :

1 What is a caricature ?
It is a drawing of a real person which *distorts or exaggerates certain *features, it is an exaggerated portrait and its *purpose is to ridicule or satirize a subject, especially public *figures and politicians, to expose hypocrisy and corruption and if it has a moral message, it is considered a satire.

Satirists traditionally ridicule both Government and Opposition, and have a significant power at the tip of their pen. A common criticism of caricatures is that they may be one of the most populist forms of art. Authorities may be tempted to *ban *seditious types of art, and especially political caricatures. Democracies usually tolerate them.

Some satirists have become famous by their *ability to *match a subject’s mental state to a physical defect.

Cartoons serve as a version of editorial opinion when it makes political satire.

2 WHAT IS PROPAGANDA ?

Propaganda : *dissemination of information—facts, arguments, rumours, *half-truths, or *lies—to influence public opinion.

Propaganda is the systematic effort to manipulate other people’s *beliefs or actions. *Deliberateness and manipulation distinguish propaganda from the free and easy exchange of ideas. Propagandists have a specified *goal.
To *achieve this, they deliberately select *facts and arguments.
To maximize effect, they may *omit or distort pertinent facts or simply lie. *Deliberate selectivity and manipulation also distinguish propaganda from education. Educators try to present *various sides of an *issue. Education *aims to induce reactors to collect and evaluate *evidence for themselves and assists them in learning the techniques for doing so.

The word propaganda itself is often a pejorative one tending to connote such things as the discredited atrocity stories and deceptively stated war aims of World Wars I and II, the operations of the Nazis’ Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, and of *countless *instances of false and *misleading *advertising.

*achieve=atteindre un but, réussir/*advertising= publicité/*aims to=avoir pour but de /*beliefs=croyances/ *countless=infini/*deliberate=délibéré/*dissemination=propagation/*facts=faits/*goal=but/*half-truths=semi-vérité/*instances=exemples/ *issue=problèmes, questions, problématiques/*lies=mensonges/*misleading=volontairement erronés, malhonnêtes/ *omit= omettre, laisser de côté/*various=divers, différents
