The book "CONSTRUCTING POLITICAL IDENTITIES IN PUBLIC DISCOURSE OF
STALIN ERA. The mechanism of the cult of the leadership in
construction of "Soviet people"" focuses on the problem of
political identities. How these were created by power in public
media on the period 1940-1953, it began with the occupation of the
Republic of Estonia by the Soviet Union and ended with the death of
Stalin. The theoretical goal of this book is to create a
theoretical-conceptual framework, based on the idea of an I-centred
constitution of the pronoun "we" as put forth by the French
linguist Emile Benveniste. Latter is further developed with the
conception of "the people" drawn from Ernesto Laclau, one of
today's most renowned theorists of hegemony and the leading figure
of the Essex school of discourse theory, and Juri Lotman's ideas in
semiotics of culture. The analyzed material is composed of the
largest daily newspapers Paevaleht (issues from 1938, 1939 and
1940) and Rahva Haal (issues from 1940 to 1941 and issues from 1944
to 1953). The essential part of the sources is formed of speeches
of the politicians published in the press and of the editorials of
the daily newspapers."
