Uniquely, it has undertaken this task by encouraging a debate between not only scholars but policy makers, practitioners, and writers of military doctrine. And into this community we have welcomed the contributions of journalists schooled in the ways of governance, insurgency, and war. Ours is an emergent field of research; at least, under the nomenclature of Strategic Communications. Often that very label is misleading and we are tempted to interpret the themes and ideas to which it attaches in a way that barely scratches the surface of history. Forgetting that societies have for thousands of years engaged in communicating politically, we often neglect the point that persuasion and coercion, and the continual calibration between the two, sit at the heart of humanity’s exercise of power. Too little thinking is invested in the genealogy of this field. Strategic Communications’ origins have been myopically accredited to business affairs or geopolitics over the last two decades. NATO traces its public use of the term to the Bucharest Summit a decade ago in April 2008. But the story doesn’t start there. Nor indeed does it end there. NATO considers public diplomacy, public affairs, military public affairs, information operations, and psychological operations all to sit within the co-ordinated remit of its Strategic Communications. Some of these concepts, however, fail to align seamlessly with the definitions many states Defence Strategic Communications | Volume 6 | Spring 2019 4 apply within their national security cultures. Despite NATO’s investment in research, doctrine, and terminology, when trying to separate out these sometimes troublesome concepts, a host of others—that actually describe real jobs filled by real people in the world of political communications—are absent from this list. How should political marketing, advertising, corporate branding, nation branding, public relations, and most uncomfortably, propaganda be understood in the same roll call? Strategic Communications entails the long-term shaping and shifting of significant discourses in societies. It adopts a holistic approach to communication based on values and interests, that encompass everything an actor does to achieve objectives in a contested environment. This speaks more to process. To apply that to intention and attainment in the world of politics, it addresses the projection of foreign and security policies aimed at changing the attitudes and behaviour of targeted audiences to achieve strategic effects, using words, images, actions and non-actions in the national interest or the interest of a political community. Strategic Communications recognises that time is both its friend and its enemy. By contrast, crisis communications, and the more malleable public relations (read image management), focus on the immediate: they fix short-term crises in politics and set-backs at the corporate or personal image level. Strategic Communications is usually directed at foreign governments and their populations. But when digital information technologies perpetually breach sovereign borders and what was in the analogue era a national broadcast footprint, historic binaries of home and abroad rapidly dissolve; so too the binary of government and people. That makes it difficult, if not unwise, to conceive of it as some kind of hermetically sealed message projection directed at foreign states. Feedback and blowback operate in split-second dynamic loops. What makes Strategic Communications strategic is a recognition that one party cannot influence the thinking or behaviour of another party without first negotiating a path through a continually changing and noisy environment, having set out from a less than ideal starting place while moving towards an unstable end-point. By the same token, it has largely freed itself from the classical moorings that some thinkers still consider essential to setting its definitional limits. Namely, that its aims and activities must be associated with the pursuit or cessation of war, understood as kinetic engagement. Nevertheless, as much as a number of military-minded scholars might favour one interpretation yet other politically-centred thinkers decline these constraints, there is often consensus Defence Strategic Communications | Volume 6 | Spring 2019 around its operational components or processes of delivery: defining a message; 5 identifying a specific audience; intending to achieve not simply an effect but real, measurable change; while being judged by all that is seen and heard, intentionally or otherwise. Not so far, then, from the linear maxim of communications that held sway some 70 years ago: namely, Harold Lasswell’s ‘who says what in which channel to whom with what effect’. However, more nuanced concepts have crept into the way we discuss this field today where information flows can never be controlled, not even managed, but at best influenced. Today Strategic Communications is increasingly imagined as a holistic undertaking. When formulated by states we talk of cross-government or whole of government approaches, of fusion, and of different ways of treating information in the state’s armoury. DIME—Diplomatic, Information, Military, Economics, with its distinct preserves, is challenged increasingly in the instantaneous and digitally-connected 21st century, so that Information becomes subsumed into those other three pillars of state engagement, DME. Nevertheless, historians may argue it was ever thus. For thousands of years, states or administrative elites seeking to control populations and challenge foreign elites for resources and control of territory, have always mobilised the full array of assets at their disposal. In 1887 a unique cache of documents—the Amarna Letters—was unearthed at the ancient site of a pharaonic palace in Egypt. What this correspondence with Egypt revealed was an early record of a system of international relations (nearly 3,500 years ago) between great powers, independent powers, and vassal states where its leaders called themselves ‘Great King’ while conducting diplomacy, strategic affairs, marriage, and trade as part of a ‘brotherhood’. This system stretched across modern Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, and the Levant. The intersection of symbolism and reality is a fine one. Images carved onto the walls of palaces built nearly 3,000 years ago in Assyrian Mesopotamia bear witness to the Strategic Communications of King Ashurbanipal. Military conquest of Egypt and Elam (southern Iran today) is depicted alongside raging conflicts across Babylonia; the forced movement of entire populations to create new agricultural economies to benefit his conquering state is celebrated with the same confidence as his library of 10,000 works that would enhance understandings of science, medicine, literature, magic, and statecraft. A blend of coercion and persuasion, these campaigns etched in stone for millennia attempt to influence elites and terrify populations in places like Nimrud, Nineveh, and Babylon. Defence Strategic Communications | Volume 6 | Spring 2019 6 They serve also to remind us of more recent messaging campaigns into those same centres in Iraq in the early

  • Tesi Di Fabio Marchi
    II Dal 1993 Al 1997: le prime tre evoluzioni di Björk L’idea originaria era che ogni traccia di Debut doveva avere un produttore diverso, in realtà dopo l’incontro con Nellee Hooper ogni singola traccia del disco ebbe vita a se ma con un unico produttore. Esotico, eclettico ma anche coerente e fluido, l’album dimostrava una maturità poetica con reminiscenze classiche e palpiti di dance-music meno commerciale. Björk dava vita così ad un pop elettronico sofisticato, emozionante e davvero innovativo. Singolo guida di Debut fu Human beheaviour . I timpani che aprivano il brano, davano alla canzone un sapore arabeggiante. Il singolo dimostra una interpretazione vocale piuttosto originale, in un ritmo quasi spiazzante rispetto ai canoni di una cultura pop dei primi anni 90. Con l’esordio di Björk da solista va associato anche il suo ingresso nella videoarte. All’inizio degli anni ‘90, anche la politica e il palinsesto di MTV, subiva un’importante cambiamento: il videoclip si inseriva con una certa predominanza negli investimenti e consequenzialmente nelle promozioni delle major discografiche. Regista e apripista di questa nuova immagine di Björk fu Michel Gondry, figura allora emergente ma molto richiesta nel mondo dei videoclip. L’idea del video, nata principalmente da Björk, la ritraeva in una casetta di legno immersa in un bosco illuminato da stelle attorno al quale ruotava un orso gigante di peluche. Il tutto in un ambiente surreale e molto naif. Il video, nonostante le paure di un qualcosa di troppo azzardato fu un successo. La One Little Indian puntava a 40 mila copie vendute per Debut (più o meno il numero dei fan degli Sugarcubes); non si aspettava che nei soli primi tre mesi il disco avrebbe venduto 600 mila copie e che il milione, sarebbe arrivato molto presto.

    Homeland Security Affairs Journal SPECIAL COVID-19 ISSUE COVID-19 Effects and Russian Disinformation Campaigns By Wesley R. Moy and Kacper Gradon 2 COVID-19 Effects and Russian Disinformation Campaigns By Wesley R. Moy and Kacper Gradon Abstract The effects of the novel coronavirus and its related disease COVID-19 have been far reaching, touching American society and its Western partners’ health and mortality, economics, social relationships, and politics. The effects have highlighted longstanding societal divisions, disproportionately harming minority groups and the socioeconomically disadvantaged with Black Americans and their communities hit especially hard. The problem being considered is the potential for Russian malign foreign influence to exploit the divides exacerbated by the coronavirus and target the United States and its European allies during the period leading to the 2020 elections and beyond. Possible coronavirus effects are inventoried and categorized into economic, healthcare, and environmental issue areas that may be leveraged and weaponized. The article includes the scenarios of such weaponization, including the description of focal points that may be attacked. We conclude with a set of recommendations to counter malign foreign influence.

  • Shapes of a Girl : the Archetypal Embodiments of Bjork
    Shapes of a Girl: The Archetypal Embodiments of Bjork by Michael Lewis for Rick Tarnas Archetypes of Art & Culture December 12, 2005 “I’m a fountain of blood, in the shape of a girl.” -- Bjork The first time I really heard Bjork was a revelation to me indicating that something new could again be emerging on the frontier of modern music. Although I was already vaguely aware of the super-star musician Bjork for a number of years, I had barely paid much attention to perhaps nothing more than a few partial songs played over a radio-- until I finally heard the emotional power and creative genius of Bjork through listening to her song, “Bachellorette.” The song opens in a dramatically cinematic escalation of or- chestral strings, from which then the sheer power and boldness of her voice emerges like the natural calling of a hungry female chimera from a dense and thriving forest of sound, “I’m a fountain of blood, in the shape of a girl.” Her vocals then continue to un- ravel in an emotionally explosive poetic rhapsody, delivering a song of enigmatic pres- ence that ultimately climaxes and leaves the listener with a sense having been witness to an embodiment of the cosmic feminine force. Completely taken by the influence of this song on my mood and imagination, I soon found myself exploring the vast collection of Bjork’s musical artistry that spans more than seven albums over two decades. I came to recognize how Bjork, as a professional artist and radical alternative cultural icon, has sculpted not only a varied spectrum of styles and textures of artistic expres- sion, but has also continuously transformed and re-invented her self as a persona in the process.
