Furthermore, this functional approach allows to extend the analysis of communicative practices commonly associated with fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and Soviet Union, to other locations (France, United States of America and Great Britain in the 1930s) or historical contexts (post-Soviet developments in Russia or Kyrgyzstan). This, in turn, leads to the revaluation of the very term »totalitarian«: no longer an ideological label or a stock attribute of historical narration, it gets a life of its own, defining a specific constellation of hierarchies, codes and networks within a given society UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/25375/1/1004721.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/25375/1/1004721.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/25375/1/1004721.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/36084 ER -
