    Paradoxical Representations of Vietnamese Women in Propaganda: The Communist Party of Vietnam and Conflicting Visions of Women During the Vietnam War (1955-1975)
    Ardley, Georgia ( 2021)
    This thesis examines the paradoxical representations of Vietnamese women produced by the Vietnamese Communist Party (CPV) between 1955-1975. Through analysis of the changing representations of women, it questions the Party's commitment to gender equality. Furthermore, it challenges the assumption in previous scholarship that the Vietnam War was a period of increased rights and revolutionary change, and instead suggests that Vietnamese women were circumscribed by the persistence of Confucianism in CPV propaganda.

    Nazi German radio broadcasting during significant military affairs: a case study in operation Typhoon
    Stephen, Robbie-Lee ( 2016)
    The radio played an undeniably crucial role in determining not only the way information was presented to the population in Nazi Germany, but also the selection of information that they received. This was especially important during times of significant military conflict, as the presentation of information would directly affect German perceptions of the war effort. Operation Typhoon presented the German armed forces with their first defeat on land, and how the radio broadcasting would be adjusted by the Propaganda Ministry as the campaign ground to a halt just outside of Moscow would have an immense impact on public opinion. As an omnipresent form of propaganda, and made readily accessible and available to the majority of German civilians, Goebbels would harness the power of the radio during the war in order to promote his propaganda principles and ensure the maintenance of morale through the purporting of an overly optimistic radio programme. However, home front morale was not as easily manipulated as Goebbels had thought, as he spent the entirety of the campaign attempting to compensate for the triumphalist discourse promoted by the regime's leadership.
