Ideology, Propaganda, and Media

Abstract

The theme “Ideology, Propaganda and Media” of the 23rd issue of INTERFACE was one of the main topics of the recent INTERFACEing International Conference “Changing Paradigms: Humanities in the Age of Crisis,” held at Kobe University from 25 September to 27 September 2023. Systems of ideas and values, commonly described as ideologies, play a decisive role in the life of both the individual and society. The similarity or difference of ideological beliefs creates the basis for many alliances, antagonisms, and conflicts that define the dynamics of the modern world. It is natural for each side to seek to defend and expand its ideological position in this confrontation.
