Agitprops

/ˈædʒɪtprɑːps/ noun

Definition

Plural of 'agitprop'; multiple works or instances of agitation-propaganda art or theater.

Etymology

From Russian 'agitpropa' (already functioning as a noun) plus English plural '-s'. The unusual pluralization reflects the word's hybrid Russian-English status in English vocabulary.

Kelly Says

Though 'agitprops' exists as a plural, the word 'agitprop' itself can be both countable ('three different agitprops') and uncountable ('agitprop was everywhere')—a flexibility that makes it useful for discussing entire artistic movements.
