Week 6 Hollywood Propaganda
After screening Triumph of the Will last week, this week i'm showing some of Capra's American propaganda, and tracing the development and evolution of cultural mythos, ideologies and memes as transmitted and disseminated through cinema. (both through overt propaganda, and also through 'mainstream' populist consumer entertainment fare as we will see in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington on Thursday)
Look at the links below, and in your comments, address this question:

What memes are there that you feel are cultivated and fed using media as propaganda right now? Dig deep. Be fearless.
if you are at a loss about memes, and their infectious operations, see again the links for week 1.
