The Centre for the Study of the Renaissance is delighted to invite you to our third community study day. The day’s theme will be ‘propaganda’. We are going to explore the ways in which propaganda was created and disseminated in different contexts and through diverse means, considering art, foreign expansion, war, and the Early Modern stage. Tim Clark’s session will explore the promotion of self and identity through art in fourteenth and fifteenth century. Mathilde Alain will examine Portuguese royal propaganda policy in relation to Portuguese overseas expansion during the reign of King Dom Manuel I (1495-1521). Penny Roberts will focus on propaganda during the French religious wars. The day will end with a session on transcultural encounters on the early modern stage, led by Chloe Fairbanks.
