Synopsis "How Propaganda Works"

How propaganda undermines democracy and why we need to pay attention Our democracy today is fraught with political campaigns, lobbyists, liberal media, and Fox News commentators, all using language to influence the way we think and reason about public issues. Even so, many of us believe that propaganda and manipulation aren't problems for us--not in the way they were for the totalitarian societies of the mid-twentieth century. In How Propaganda Works, Jason Stanley demonstrates that more attention needs to be paid. He examines how propaganda operates subtly, how it undermines democracy--particularly the ideals of democratic deliberation and equality--and how it has damaged democracies of the past. Focusing on the shortcomings of liberal democratic states, Stanley provides a historically grounded introduction to democratic political theory as a window into the misuse of democratic vocabulary for propaganda's selfish purposes. He lays out historical examples, such as the restructuring of the US public school system at the turn of the twentieth century, to explore how the language of democracy is sometimes used to mask an undemocratic reality. Drawing from a range of sources, including feminist theory, critical race theory, epistemology, formal semantics, educational theory, and social and cognitive psychology, he explains how the manipulative and hypocritical declaration of flawed beliefs and ideologies arises from and perpetuates inequalities in society, such as the racial injustices that commonly occur in the United States. How Propaganda Works shows that an understanding of propaganda and its mechanisms is essential for the preservation and protection of liberal democracies everywhere.

El padre de Jason Stanley escapó de la Alemania nazi por el aeropuerto berlinés de Tempelhof cuando tenía solo seis años. Llegó a Nueva York un 3 de julio de 1939. La familia aún conserva un álbum familiar con las fotografías de la Estatua de la Libertad, así que Stanley, nacido en 1969, creció con las historias de su país, Estados Unidos, como la nación más heroica. A pesar de ello, o precisamente por eso, ha dedicado años al estudio de los mecanismos que emplea el fascismo para convencer a la gente, especialmente ahora y en su país. Desde 2013 es profesor de filosofía en la Universidad de Yale, después de haberlo sido en la de Rutgers, pero son las dos últimas etapas de una larga y brillante carrera académica, que lo llevó a estudiar a Alemania en 1985 y, después del doctorado, a Oxford, en Inglaterra. Especializado en filosofía del lenguaje, ha publicado títulos como Know How, Languages in Context o Knowledge and Practical Interests, que ganó en 2007 el premio de filosofía de la Asociación de editores americana. También se alzó en 2005 con el máximo galardón de la Asociación americana de filósofos, que premia a un solo filósofo al año. Escribe regularmente en The Washington Post, The Boston Review o The New York Times, donde ha alimentado el popular blog filosófico The Stone. De allí surgieron textos para libros como How Propaganda Works. How Fascism Works, que hemos traducido como Facha, es su último y más esperado trabajo. Un éxito instantáneo de crítica y lectores. Y una valiosa herramienta para saber leer la alarmante deriva autoritaria de nuestro mundo.
