“…Perhaps, the puzzle could be solved by turning to the conceptual binary of peace propaganda. The goal of war propaganda is not war as such, but creating a culture that legitimises and justifies the acts of war or violence-a process of dehumanising the enemy "so they can be killed without guilt" (Zur 1991). To put Johan Galtung's (1996:6, 96) terminology to good use, war propaganda constructs and maintains a culture of violence.…”

“…Social psychologists have shown that the capacity to distinguish between family and friends (us) and strangers (them) is learned by children from adults, as early as age five (Mack, 1990;Zur, 1991). Or even earlier, since "stranger anxiety" has been observed in infants.…”

Pride, Prejudice and paranoia: Dismantling the Ideology of domination

A comparison is made, pointing out the parallels, between five systems of domination-racism, sexism, classism, nationalism and speciesism (the human domination of nature). In each of these, one group of (human) beings asserts its superiority over another group and thereby seems to justify the domination, exploitation and abuse of the oppressed group. An analytical model is then presented that traces the psychological development of domination behavior through four stages: (1) perception of difference and group identification, (2) pride and self-affirmation, (3) prejudice, superiority and arrogance, (4) domination, paranoia, and control. Some suggestions are made as to the conditions or events that most likely trigger the escalation from one stage to the next. This model is then applied to all five areas to arrive at a better understanding of the psychological dynamics involved. Hopefully, such an analysis may help us to devise strategies to prevent or minimize the growth of these socially destructive behavior patterns.

The purpose of the paper is to analyse the socialist representation of East and West Camps in Czechoslovakia, during the founding period of the 1950s. After investigating the origins of the Peace Movement, I analyse how the Peace and the War Camps were represented, and how the representation of 'the other' (in this case, the West) also revealed the (both idealised and actual) self-images and intents of the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia.
