Chomsky, les médias et les illusions nécessaires
1992 167 min 85 vues
Partant du point de vue de Noam Chomsky, célèbre linguiste, sur les médias, et s'appuyant sur ses réflexions réunies dans ses deux récents ouvrages "Illusions nécessaires" et "la Fabrication du consentement", ce film se penche surtout sur les sociétés démocratiques dont les populations non contraintes par la force sont soumises à des formes plus subtiles d'oppression idéologique. Il examine le pouvoir de l'information et les forces qui, dans la société, s'exercent sur sa formulation et sa propagation.

Star Wars is no longer science fiction The prospect of Earth being ruled from space is no longer science-fiction.

With startling archival footage and unprecedented access to US Air Force Space Command, this elegant, forceful documentary reveals the state of play through generals, space-policy analysts, politicians, diplomats, peace activists, and hawks.
