Thesis (Ph.D.)--State University of New York at Stony Brook, 2006.

This project is an attempt to develop important ties between the early avant-garde and later workers' culture movements or political propaganda in America, the Soviet Union and Germany. Modernist propaganda was not "artless" or "un-artistic" work manufactured by politicians and bureaucrats, but a complex, theoretical aesthetic which emerged from the ashes of short lived avant-garde or progressive movements.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This project is an attempt to develop important ties between the early avant-garde and later workers' culture movements or political propaganda in America, the Soviet Union and Germany. Modernist propaganda was not "artless" or "un-artistic" work manufactured by politicians and bureaucrats, but a complex, theoretical aesthetic which emerged from the ashes of short lived avant-garde or progressive movements.
520 $a In researching individual modernist manifestations of propaganda, three important characteristics emerge. First, the aesthetic of propaganda repositions the subject---the individual is recast or hailed by the artistic work. This is evident in the Proletkult movement, the Proletarisches Theatre and the American Proletarian Literature movement, all of which asked workers to imagine or in many cases reinvent themselves as artists or the subject of artistic work. This emphasis on the imagination or perception of the subject also plays into the second characteristic---the construction of a simulacrum---an alternate reality which subjects participate in. This aspect is developed in the discussion of Magnitogorsk and the Potemkin Village in the Soviet Union, though literary journals like New Masses also provide a simulated "place" to re-experience political or social truth.
520 $a While both of these characteristics concentrate on the intellectual aspect of propaganda, the last characteristic focuses on the value of emotion and the distinction between propaganda and agitation. This is epitomized in Berlin Dada and the contribution of montage, simultaneity and bruitism in the development of spectacle and German Workers' Theatre movements. This third characteristic brings the power of the collective, the experience of the crowd to the individual subject.
