CONTER-DISCURSIVE AND PSEUDO-DISCURSIVE PRACTICES AS A SIGN OF THE COLD WAR
The family of discursive concepts includes directly discourse, counter-discourse, or anti-discourse, pseudo-discourse. Counter-discourses and pseudo-discourses are clearly distinguishable in internal and external political propaganda. Counter-discourses fix the opposites that have arisen, but do not allow the thought to develop to a dialectical synthesis, to overcome the contradiction on the basis of synthesis, and to have a broader value in relation to the preceding ones. In this case, the contradiction is fixed in the public consciousness, of its resolution. Pseudo-discourses are built as auxiliary, their task is to prevent the understanding of any basic contradiction in the exciting discourse, to distract from it. Pseudo-discourse shift attention to a low-value problem that is not dangerous for the functioning of the original, basic discourse. In a cold war situation, counter-discourses and pseudo-discourses are exchanged as anti-values.
