Discursul ideologic între persuasiune și manipulare în comunicarea literară

Abstract

Ideology is perhaps more strongly connected with language than any other kind of social activity. Language is the main vehicle of communication, and the mission of ideology is to rule the process of communication and organize people into communities governed by specific ideas. Language is the most honest witness of ideological contradictions in its attempt to manipulate people’s thoughts and behavior. Thus, language is seen as a weapon meant no longer to persuade but to manipulate population in order to mold more successfully its collective subconscious. In this respect, our demonstration makes use of literary texts in the attempt of proving that the ideological discourse is more dangerous when invading the private space of literature.
