“…Por fim, o "ataque e desconsideração dos adversários" é a segunda regra mais utilizada, atrás da "referência a medidas políticas adversárias", evidenciando a relevância pelo combate entre ideologias, em detrimento da luta pessoal entre candidatos, e confirmando que a contrapropaganda é uma técnica de comunicação política essencial para a democracia (e.g. American Historical Association, 2013; Desposato, 2013;Drábik, 2016;Pomeroantsey, 2015).…”

“…Por outro lado, existe também uma tendência discordante, que considera a contrapropaganda como técnica essencial a uma sociedade democrática (e.g. American Historical Association, 2013; Desposato, 2013;Drábik, 2016;Pomeroantsey, 2015). Sobre estes dois conceitos, fomos também capazes de catalogar regras, funções, tipos de aplicação e apontar efeitos que resultam da sua utilização.…”

ResumoA presente investigação foca a importância da contrapropaganda em ambiente democrático, bem como a adoção e a aposta nos cartazes políticos em campanhas eleitorais portuguesas, como "forma de se compreender melhor o presente, o funcionamento e as características do tempo contemporâneo" (Monteiro, 2013, p. 15). O objetivo do estudo é perceber a estratégia e especificidades presentes nos cartazes contrapropagandísticos. Para responder a este objetivo, apoiamo-nos no método misto: análise de conteúdo (286 cartazes) e análise semiológica (54 cartazes contrapropagandísticos). Os resultados mostram a predominância desta técnica por parte dos partidos mais pequenos e um aumento do uso dos cartazes contrapropagandísticos.Palavras-chave: contrapropaganda; cartazes políticos; cartazes contrapropagandísticos. AbstractThe present research focuses on the importance of counterpropaganda in a democratic environment, as well as the adoption and betting on political posters in Portuguese electoral campaigns as "a way to better understand the present, the functioning and the characteristics of contemporary time" (Monteiro, 2013 , p.15). The objective of the research is to 1. Definição avançada por Pomerantsev (2015, p. 2).

“…Gottlieb (2006, p. 35) attempted to bring matters of ideology and presentation together in a paper that examined the way Sir Oswald Mosley's “political leadership became transformed into a form of celebrity” and a publicity approach that embraced the “the marketing of megalomania”. Building on Linehan's (2004, p. 397) consideration of the BUF as both a “totalitarian movement and political religion”, Drabik (2017, p. 214) provided a thorough review of the organisation's propaganda from a perspective of religiosity in which fascism is faith and the role of propaganda is to spread the faith by promoting the BUF's “mythic ideological core” of national re-birth at home and through co-operation with other fascist states internationally.…”

PurposeThis article presents a historical investigation into the foreign policy messages of the British Union of Fascists' (BUF) publicity and propaganda from its foundation in 1932 until the outbreak of World War II in 1939, along with a discussion of the methods and institutional arrangements used to propagate its ideas of peace, empire and transnational co-operation.Design/methodology/approachThe historical investigation is based upon scrutiny of original BUF documents relating to the period 1932–1939 from various archives. After cataloguing of the relevant publicity and propaganda materials in time sequence and thematically, analysis was organised using a historical institutionalism approach.FindingsThe article explains the different phases of the BUF's message development and how publications, meetings and media were used to project its ideas. It also discussed the impact of support from Viscount Rothermere's newspapers and financial support from Benito Mussolini. Consideration of publicity materials alongside files from BUF headquarters enabled identification and investigation into the communicative actors who did the publicity work, including Director of Publicity, John Beckett.Social implicationsThe article reflects upon how the British Union of Fascists' publicity and propaganda relates to modern manifestations of the communication of authoritarian and nationalistic political propositions and the historical continuities that endure therein.Originality/valueThe project makes an original contribution to the history of British political propaganda and public relations through an inquiry based upon scrutiny of historical documents in UK archives relating to BUF publicity related to foreign policy.

“…These inconsistencies can sometimes be attributed to social and cultural factors related to the use of religious or spiritual symbols and proclamations by political ideological groups, which can be present in some countries. In the Slovak context, spiritual and religious contents has been present in right-wing political movements throughout the history (Drábik, 2017;2019). These movements frequently lean on ideologies based on EUB (antivaccination, conspiracies related to government or minorities), which can result in a positive relationship betweeen reliogiosity/spirituality and EUB.…”

The present research focuses on the question whether spirituality, religiosity and maladaptive personality traits, as measured by the PID-5 (antagonism, psychoticism, disinhibition, negative affectivity, detachment), predict epistemologically unfounded beliefs (conspiracies, pseudo-science and paranormal beliefs). The sample included 829 participants recruited through social networks (58% women, mean age 29.98 years). The results showed that especially psychoticism is a positive predictor of all types epistemologically unfounded beliefs (EUB). Spirituality and religiosity predicted only paranormal beliefs with very small effect size. No interaction between psychoticism and spirituality/religiosity in prediction of EUB was found. Results confirmed that some maladaptive personality traits (especially psychoticism) can play a significant role in EUB and should be taken into account when considering sources of EUB at the individual level.
