The theme of the lecture in 2022-2023 is propaganda, considered in its different dimensions and through its different supports. The topic will be approached through case studies in different countries of Northeast and Southeast Asia, notably China, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. The lecture will be based on in-presence communications by different scholars, including Judith Audin, Thomas Boutonnet, Susan Bayly, Stefan Landsberger, Soren Ivarsson, and Baj Strobel.
