Q: Propaganda in a text #29

Open shellstroem opened 3 years ago

shellstroem commented 3 years ago

If the text contains propaganda e.g. how the mainland Chinese system is better than other existing systems and why their government is making the correct choices, should it also be marked with IP-oe...?

A1: I would probably label it with IP-oe.

A2: It depends! I would have definitely used Opinion Blog if it's for example clearly a home page of a politician or a parliamentary group.

"Under this category, in addition to text written by random users, also fall the blogs of political parties or individual politicians that contain clear expressions of their personal opinions." --> That's what I've written in some point about Personal Opinion Blogs in my paper

"The purpose of this category is to persuade the reader into something. The persuasion can be marketing, selling or even rationalizing one’s personal opinion to the reader. The information persuasion general can occur individually without a subcategory. This is the case, for example, when the text is not directly selling and there is no mention of a price." --> And this is about Info Pers Gene, so the boundary is a bit blurry for sure, even so I would use Opinion Blog.

Hybrid cases

Q

  1. Governmental/Chinese Communist Party meeting minutes, apparently patriotic -> OP-ob? IN-oi+OP-oo?
  2. The rules and regulations of the Chinese Communist Party, with texts e.g. describing in favor of Marxism-Leninism) -> IN-lt (+OP-oo)?

A

  1. Here maybe a hybrid, IN-oi + OP-oo
  2. I'd annotate the opinion register as well
