O pensamento propagandístico japonês, das origens até 1945

Abstract

Japan was one of the major players in the movement that, after the World War I, transformed propaganda in an object of theoretical reflection in large academic and intellectual centers in the world. The article presents a first draft in Portuguese on that subject. Initially we present the origins of the phenomenon and the peculiarities of the historical and sociological context in which it was developed. The following section analyzes the circumstances and ideas that marked its peak, which coincided with the last stage of the Japanese imperialism expansion. The third one details the theories of Koyama Eizō, probably its greatest thinker.
