Contents
The course aims to compare the contents of the political proposal of the two leaders, and above all the communication methods of each of them: it will therefore investigate the dissemination of the political message through writings (epistles, pamphlets, decrees), orality (public and private speeches), images (monumental iconography and private objects), as well as through clothing (official and adopted in private contexts). It will also examine the places where communication took place, both in the institutional sphere (such as institutional assemblies, speeches to soldiers in the camps or harangues on the battlefields) and in the private sphere (such as the houses of leaders during clientele exchanges and political dinners). Finally, it will identify the actors and intermediaries of the transmission of the message (magistrates, intellectual collaborators, women and children of the leaders' family), as well as its timing (immediate, delayed, ephemeral, lasting, selective, memorial communication).
