The aim of this research is to identify and study the discourse opposing the
official one in feature films of Soviet cinematographi.The argument is that
artistic autonomy existed in Soviet cinematography and it created a niche
space for political communication in which a reverse discourse appeared.
The reverse discourse is a discourse that expresses and contains statements
or messages that contradict and consequently oppose the official discourse,
the ideology.A context for this study is provided in the form by reviewing
and interpreting the ries about ideology, control, power relations and the
role of common sense as an ideological goal but also by a brief history of
Soviet cinematography. A discourse analysis and a content analysis are
applied on twenty-five motion pictures produced between 1956 and 1989.
The purpose and the content of the messages encountered in these motion
pictures are interpreted and analyzed. The analysis proves the existence of a
alternate space for political communication. However, it also proves dissent
or subversion. The findings are important in opening up new areas of study
and for proving the importance of artistic autonomy and of niche spaces for
political communication.
