Abstract

This article explores how an artistic work can produce knowledge that is complementary to social sciences research on humanitarianism. Through the examination of the creative process and rationality behind the video installation "Reflections on Music and Propaganda", presented as a part of an exhibition on contemporary propaganda at the Lenbachhaus (Munich), this article deconstructs the emotional dimension of humanitarian songs and media narratives which accompanied them.
