Propaganda Gender and Cultural Power by Charlotte Faucher, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Propaganda, Gender, and Cultural Power: Projections and Perceptions of France in Britain c1880-1944 analyses the powerful motivations that fuelled members of civil society, and in particular women, to dedicate their resources in the pursuit of improving the image of France in Britain throughcultural strategies. By tracing the origins and development of this new diplomatic method, Faucher reveals how French citizens, British Francophiles, and eventually the French state, promoted French culture in Britain. At the same time, it discusses interwar gender-based discrimination in the fieldof cultural diplomacy; wartime catalysts for change - in particular the arrival of child refugees and the introduction of new propaganda methods in the French and British diplomatic spheres; and the political contests over ownership of cultural production. By studying the projections and perceptionsof France in Britain, Faucher also paints a new picture of cultural cosmopolitanism in Britain. | Propaganda Gender and Cultural Power by Charlotte Faucher, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
