Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a compelling examination of the power of symbolism and its role in shaping public opinion, particularly in the context of war. The author argues that the captivating spectacles of war, with their stirring music, vibrant uniforms, and grand pageantry, are skillfully crafted by artists to evoke a powerful response in the hearts and minds of the public. This analysis resonates with the broader historical and literary context of the time, which saw a burgeoning interest in social reform and the search for alternatives to the violence of war. The author explores the contrast between the glorification of war and the often-overlooked heroism of social service. He argues that the drab, uninspiring nature of social causes limits their appeal, making them less effective than the dazzling spectacle of war. The book proposes that a new form of "civic engineering" can help transform social service into a powerful force that can rival the allure of war. This "civic engineering" draws upon the principles of dramatic art, employing the power of symbolism, pageantry, and spectacle to elevate social causes and create a compelling narrative of peace and social progress. The author's exploration of the interplay between art, social service, and war offers a powerful challenge to traditional ways of thinking about peace and war, leaving the reader with a renewed sense of the importance of symbolism and storytelling in shaping the future of society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
