Diskurso analitinis požiūris propagandos tyrime: pusiau sisteminė literatūros apžvalga

Anotacija

A discourse analytical approach in the study of propaganda can help to examine not only the content of the propaganda but also the influence of the context in which the propaganda was created. This article aims to discuss how propaganda is perceived when combining the terms of propaganda and discourse and in which research topics, interpretative contexts and with which methods such a connection is used. The article is based on a semi-systematic literature review and a deductive thematic analysis. The findings show that researchers often understand propaganda as a critical phenomenon by using a discourse analytical approach to propaganda, and a critical analysis of discourse is often used to analyse it. Also the findings show that some researchers use the terms of propaganda and discourse in their research as synonyms without developing the term of propagandistic discourse. The combination of the terms propaganda and discourse is used more and more often in scientific research. Such a connection is especially used for the analysis of propaganda messages that polarise society. However, the connection between propaganda and discourse is only sometimes properly developed.
