tuesday, 7 September


 

 
Stalinism, Nazism, the Cold War, the Katyn massacre,Mc Carthyism, Indochina, The Viet Nam War, the Cultural Revolution in China. “The Big lies of the 20th century” shows how throughout the 20th century, new information technologies, designed to communicate events rapidly and “objectively” accross the world, have more often than not been deployed to propagate great lies of state, lies that have often been relayed by status conscious opinion makers (intellectuals and journalists) anxious to defend their personnal beliefs and comfort, their social status. Is History inhabited by partial or false images of reality?
