Join us for Africa at Noon on Wednesday, Nov 2 for this talk featuring Tejumola Olaniyan & Isaac Kabera
Location: 206 Ingraham
Topic: What is the role of mass propaganda in the commission of mass-scale evil such as genocide? If the latter is impossible without the former, and pleasure and the pleasurable are at the heart of every successful propaganda, does it mean that pleasure and evil have a relationship? What is the name of that relationship?
