What follows on
this page is the fascinating "The Century of Self" (2002), a four-part video
mini-series about the history of "spin," consumerism, mass psychology, and
the role of propaganda in politics, social movements, cultural attitudes,
and consumption.
Essays and books pertinent to this series:
Part I: The series begins with the career of Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward
L. Bernays, described by Publisher's Weekly as "arguably the most influential
publicist of the 20th century." For more information about this man, read
the book,
"The Father of Spin: Edward L. Bernays and The Birth of Public
Relations," by Larry Tye.
Part III: See the article
Carl
Rogers and the IHM Nuns.
Each segment has a 58-minute running time. Part III has brief, non-sexual
nudity and language that might offend the sensitive.
