Performance of Rejected Messages

Summary/Abstract: In the article the author argues that when a particular ideological formation ends its rule, the political propaganda created by that formation does not cease to exist in the public sphere. The article points out this regularity using four examples. The first one focuses on the lasting conviction that a proper organization of the economy and of public life is an infinitely more important factor of the state’s development than the motivations and actions of the individuals. The two subsequent examples are: the faith in the power of the slogan and treating terms taken from political science or ideology as political goals. The fourth example concerns the permanence of the culture of exclusion, which was created and justified in terms of propaganda in the socialist period, and is currently being developed, gaining new dimensions. In sum the article shows how propaganda creates a certain image of the world above and beyond the direct content of the propaganda message. This remains the case even when the political propaganda message is rejected.
