Xenophon and Castiglione on the Aesthetics of Political Communication

This thesis begins with a discussion of the Principles of Political Communication. Key milestones in the development of the discipline of Political Communication, its influences from different disciplines, such as psychology, and technologies, such as television and the Internet, are listed, as well as some typical examples of Political Communication practices in the 20th century. A more theoretical and philosophical approach to the principles of Political Communication is then attempted, as a conflation of the terms ‘Politics’ and ‘Communication.’ In the main chapters of the thesis we deal on the one hand with four works of Xenophon, Hiero, the Oeconomicus, Cyropaedia and Agesilaus, and on the other hand with the Book of the Courtier by Baldassare Castiglione. We examine the Political Direction of each work, that is, the way in which the political direction of each work is structured, which in turn generates specific political staging and consequently communication necessities. We isolate the different parties practicing Political Communication, their aspirations and subsequently firstly their communication strategy and secondly the ways of implementing this strategy. In the last chapter we group our findings in terms of the conditions of political staging and the type of social contract that shapes them, the paradigm of the leader and other political actors in each context, the objectives and means of Political Communication as well as constant anthropological characteristics whose different combinations shape different conditions of Political Action and Communication.
