propaganda

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flowers for the GDR border guards on the Berlin Wall . The scene had a propaganda function towards the western world and towards GDR citizens.

Propaganda (from the Latin propagare , `` further spread, spread, spread '') describes in its modern meaning the targeted attempts to form political opinions or public perspectives , to manipulate knowledge and to steer behavior in a direction desired by the propagandist or ruler . Not to explain the different sides of a topic and the mixing of information and opinion characterize the propaganda techniques . This is in contrast to pluralistic and critical perspectives, which are shaped by different experiences, observations and evaluations as well as a rational discourse .

History of meaning

Counter-reformation

The term is derived from the Latin name of a papal authority, which was given by Gregory XV in 1622 . Sacra congregatio de propaganda fide , launched in the course of the Counter-Reformation , in German roughly “Holy Congregation for the Dissemination of Faith”, today officially “Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.” In the 17th century, the short form propaganda - actually the Gerundive form from Latin propagare , "spread, expand" - as the name for this mission society , whose purpose was to oppose Protestantism and to proselytize the New World .

French Revolution

Since around the time of the French Revolution , the word has been used in today's secular sense, i.e. as a term for the spread of political ideas. In 1790 the Club de la propagande was formed in Paris , a secret society of the Jacobins to spread revolutionary ideas. The term can be found with this meaning in many other languages ​​today.

Scientific foundation

In the 1920s, the scientific investigation of the topic began, whereby the term was understood largely neutral as a fundamental and necessary fact of social life.

Edward L. Bernays , the founder of what he later renamed Public Relations , initially defined it as “a coherent, sustained effort to create or shape events to influence public relations with a company, idea, or group . ”He distinguished the modern propaganda systematically planned and medially conveyed with the help of market research, demoscopy and psychology from older, less professional forms. His psychoanalytic orientation led him to understand the importance of the subconscious and the phenomena of displacement and displacement as the basis of successful propaganda. Instead of direct appeals and rational arguments, his propaganda technique relied on the recipient's unconscious indirect generation of needs, which the recipient experiences as his own wishes and as an expression of his free will. Bernays assumed that democratic participation of the citizens and the legitimation of state action would be best served if the state, with the help of scientific methods and factual analyzes by experts, influences and directs public opinion in such a way that a consensus is created and the government for theirs Politics finds support.

Bernays referred, among other things, to the work of the American political theorist and journalist Walter Lippmann . This saw the creation of a unified opinion ("manufacturing consent") one of the main tasks of the mass media in cooperation with the decision-makers. He saw this as a "specialized class" English specialized class , to which the essential political decisions should be reserved.

In Harold D. Lasswell's understanding of propaganda, the semiotics of symbolic interaction played a decisive role for the first time.

Usage today

As a result of the monopoly of propaganda in dictatorial regimes, particularly under National Socialism and Stalinism , the term acquired a strongly pejorative (derogatory) character and is now almost exclusively used critically. Because of this negative connotation , the term propaganda was replaced early by Edward Bernays himself through public relations (or the English public relations ). Today the term “propaganda” is used primarily critically for political and military influencing of public opinion; in economic terms, one speaks more of “ advertising ” and “public relations” today , in religious terms of “ proselytizing ”, in politics more affirmatively of public diplomacy , in military campaigns of psychological warfare .

As a result of the devaluation of the term used z. For example, none of the democratic parties in the Federal Republic of Germany use the term propaganda for their advertising . The media scientist Norbert Bolz , however, called "empty" campaigns (in the 2013 election campaign), which have nothing to do with political election campaigns but rather with feeling good, as "feeling good propaganda". In 2018, Bolz identified the flood of news in world communication from the new electronic media as the main reason for the citizens' inability to form their own opinion, and thus their susceptibility to “off the shelf opinion”, which he equates with propaganda. But in democratic countries it is by no means about brainwashing and censorship, and there is no corrective to be found in new, internet-based media. The publicist Gero von Randow wrote in 2015: "Propaganda requires organization."

In 1988, Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman published in their work Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media a “ propaganda model of communication”, according to which in Western countries uncontrolled “filtering” of information by the mass media prevents objective reporting. According to Joan Pedro-Carañana , Daniel Broudy and Jeffery Klaehn , it is now considered a valid, internationally empirically proven , scientific model.

Definition and character

Anti-capitalist propaganda

Garth S. Jowett and Victoria O'Donnell define propaganda as the deliberate systematic attempt perceptions ( perceptions to shape), the understanding of facts to manipulate and behavior to control, so that a reaction is caused, which promotes the desired goal of the propagandists .

Harold D. Laswell's definition aims even more clearly at the technical aspect:

“Propaganda in the broadest sense is the technique of influencing people's actions by manipulating representations. These representations can be spoken, written, pictorial or musical. "

The manipulation can be controlled or uncontrolled, conscious or unconscious, it can be political or social. The concept of propaganda ranges from the state consciously controlled influencing of public opinion ( Edward Bernays ) to "sociological propaganda", in which individuals manipulate themselves unconsciously and allow themselves to be manipulated in order to meet social expectations ( Jacques Ellul ):

The propagandist dramatizes our prejudices and addresses something deep and even shameful within us. Propaganda thus becomes a co-production in which we willingly collaborate; it expresses what we whisper to ourselves in a low voice. Propaganda is less of a stimulus-response mechanism than a fantasy or a conspiracy in which we are part, the conspiracy of our own self-deception.

The transition from non-propaganda to propaganda is fluid. Effective manipulation requires a non-manipulative embedding in order to be able to develop its effect, which is why the reference to the contexts is not yet a refutation of the manipulative character of an act of communication. Propaganda can only work if it takes into account the situation and needs of the recipient and includes his or her own activity in the process of persuasion.

Propaganda is understood as a form of manipulation of public opinion or of opinions in general, with the semiotic instrumentalization of symbols in the foreground ( "Propaganda is a major form of manipulation by symbols" ).

Propaganda thus belongs to a special form of communication that is examined in communication research , and here especially in media impact research, from the point of view of media manipulation . Propaganda is a certain type of communication that is characterized by the fact that the representation of reality is distorted.

Media that can convey propaganda messages include news, government releases, historical representations, pseudoscientific analysis, books, pamphlets, films, social media, radio, television, and posters. Postcards or envelopes are less common these days.

In the case of radio and television, propaganda can appear on news, news or talk shows, as advertisements or as a public political statement. Propaganda campaigns often follow a strategic plan to indoctrinate the target audience. This can start with a leaflet or a commercial. In general, these messages contain references to further information via a website, a hotline, a radio program, etc. The strategy aims to lead the recipient through reinforcement mechanisms from information intake to information search, and then from information search through indoctrination to active opinion leadership.

Propaganda and International Law

According to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Art. 20), which was ratified by 168 states, war propaganda has been prohibited since 1976.

With regard to political and military conflicts, propaganda is assigned to psychological warfare and information warfare , which are of particular importance in the age of hybrid warfare and cyber warfare .

Historical examples

War propaganda in the First World War

Targeted and organized war propaganda was pursued by all belligerent powers, in the German Empire it was mainly the Supreme Army Command , in Great Britain the War Propaganda Bureau and in France the Maison de la Presse .

For example, so-called wall attacks played an important role in psychological warfare , both with the Central Powers and with the Entente and their allies. Numerous artists participated in Germany, u. a. Walter Trier , Louis Oppenheim and Paul Brockmüller , on the design of numerous posters .

War propaganda in World War II

American poster calling for production during the Axis threat , "the monster that will stop at nothing"

In the warring countries propaganda was made against the war opponents. The invention of film , in particular , led to a large number of propaganda films .

Nazi propaganda

Adolf Hitler and his Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda Joseph Goebbels gave in the era of National Socialism before the war from 1933 propaganda a totalitarian and dominant importance, benefiting especially the press , the radio , all the media of the arts and symbolically striking reared mass events .

Allied propaganda

The anti-Hitler coalition operation on the United States Office of War Information and the Ministry of Information of the United Kingdom several enemy broadcasts and radio propaganda , and the German Wehrmacht and especially Adolf Hitler was often made ridiculous on posters.

Communist agitation and propaganda (agitprop)

Lenin's understanding of propaganda

Lenin understood propaganda as the general work of convincing communists , in contrast to agitation , which was an “ appeal to the masses to take certain concrete actions ”. Especially in the early days of the Soviet Union , the agitprop was influenced by modern art movements ( futurism ).

Propaganda in the GDR

GDR propaganda poster Dresden, October 1985

Agitprop was an important means of securing rule of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) in the German Democratic Republic . Your goal was u. a. in the discrediting of the economic and social order of the Federal Republic of Germany . It was directed against capitalism and "Western imperialism " in general . Since all media were censored and controlled by the state, its propaganda was omnipresent. As permanent political-ideological indoctrination , it was already practiced in state kindergartens and continued in school lessons ( civics ). Mass organizations such as Young Pioneers , FDJ , FDGB and others were an integral part of the state's propaganda apparatus. The penetration of families through propaganda, the suppression of the opposition and the attempted influence on society as a whole are typical characteristics of totalitarian rule .

An important element of the GDR propaganda was the television program The Black Canal . Propaganda methods were an integral part of training for cadres ; B. in the "Red Monastery", the Faculty of Journalism in Leipzig , a training facility that was directly subordinate to the Central Committee of the SED .

The GDR also dealt propagandistically with the emergency laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and established a connection to the National Socialist judiciary .

Propaganda in the Federal Republic of Germany during the Cold War

In the Federal Republic of Germany , propaganda was used during the Cold War in public radio and television broadcasters and private media as well as in many other areas of daily life, often with a strong turn against the GDR. The Federal Ministry for intra-German relations and private-law propaganda organizations such as B. the Volksbund for Peace and Freedom , but also some political parties that stirred up fear with their anti-communist stance and campaigned.

In addition to open propaganda in everyday life, there were also covert state actions that were systematically carried out by the Federal Ministry of Defense as operational information . The then Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss set up a department for psychological warfare in 1958 , in which u. a. Eberhard Taubert , former employee in the Reich Ministry of Propaganda , played a leading role.

Contemporary examples

Russian government propaganda

Shortly after the Beslan hostage-taking in September 2004, President Putin reinforced a Russian government-sponsored project to improve Russia's image in the world. A major project in 2005 was the creation of the English-language program for Russia Today , which offers a continuous program of the latest news and was modeled on the US broadcaster CNN . CBS News quoted the political scientist Boris Kagarlitsky at the start of the station, saying that Russia Today is largely continuing the old Soviet propaganda.

USA: Pentagon Military Analyst Program 2002–2008

In the wake of the war on terror launched by the George W. Bush administration , the United States Department of Defense launched a propaganda strategy in 2002 to convey the American government's perspective on foreign policy issues such as the Iraq and Afghan wars and the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in to spread to the public. The ministry gave preferential information to selected experts, mostly veterans , and broadcast the government's arguments on radio and television. Fearing that they would lose privileged access, some of them spread this view after suppressing doubts themselves. The program was exposed in 2008 by journalist David Barstow with the help of the Freedom of Information Act , which attracted a lot of public attention.

USA and Great Britain: Establishment of the Iraq War 2003

The governments of the United States and Great Britain have reported since 2001 that Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein posed an acute international threat because he might still be in possession of weapons of mass destruction, which is why a United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission was established. This threat was cited as the main justification for the " illegal international war of aggression " against Iraq. The Center for Public Integrity found 935 public false statements by government officials in the United States and spoke of a “carefully orchestrated campaign of falsehoods” that had been “methodically propagated”.

Germany: Influencing the reporting of leading media through the connections between journalists and political and business elites

The media scientist Uwe Krüger , who examined the social environment of 219 leading editors of German leading media, assumes that in the Federal Republic of Germany "a consensually united elite governs on important issues (war and peace, macroeconomic order) against the interests of a large part of the population can and that journalistic elites could be too deeply involved in the elite milieu to still act as advocates of the public interest in a critical and controlling manner. "

He found that every third journalist examined had informal contacts with political and business elites. With four foreign policy journalists, Stefan Kornelius , Klaus-Dieter Frankenberger , Michael Stürmer and Josef Joffe, there are dense networks in the US and NATO-affine elite milieu.

War reporting by German, British and American leading media

The journalism researcher Florian Zollmann examined differences in the war reporting of major German, British and American newspapers such as u. a. the New York Times, the Guardian and the Süddeutsche Zeitung. He compared 1911 articles on human rights violations that were committed by different warring parties during various acts of war in Kosovo, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Egypt and examined them with regard to the question of whether there were systematic differences in the assessment made and the call for sanctions or humanitarian interventions . The result of his investigation was that human rights abuses committed by "hostile" parties are highlighted more strongly and calls to stop these abuses are more emphatic than when human rights abuses are committed by Western states or their allies.

Linguistic propaganda techniques

Propaganda, persuasion and rhetoric are often used in the same way or in the same context. Scientists have analyzed or developed a variety of propaganda techniques, some of which are also classified as logical fallacies (fallacies) and pseudo-arguments , as rhetorical devices or eristic stratagems .

According to Charles U. Larson, language is used for three types of propaganda: hypnotic, semantic, and cognitive propaganda. The hypnotic one lets the recipient think the desired thought for himself by making him interpret the facts from his point of view through blanks: "We have to defend our values ". The semantic propaganda works with omissions, generalizations and distortions of the linguistic sense, the cognitive leads to cognitive distortion or exploits psychological tendencies of the distortion. Larson sees hypnotic, cognitive and semantic propaganda in close connection.

Serge Moscovici sees linguistic propaganda in a system of rule as the third level of influencing people's ideas. The first level is the room and its atmospheric effect, the second level the type of event, such as a celebration, the word spoken at this location and on this occasion, according to its representation, also contains a persuasive meaning due to the atmosphere and context.
