PARTIZANSKA PROPAGANDA NA ZADARSKOM PODRUČJU 1943. - 1945. S NAGLASKOM NA ULOGU KOMUNISTIČKE PARTIJE HRVATSKE. (Croatian)

On the basis of data from available historical sources and literature, the paper presents principal characteristics of written anti-fascist propaganda in the Zadar district in the period between Italian capitulation in September 1943 and the very beginning of 1945n - the time marked by the complete liberation of North Dalmatia. The paper tends to offer an insight into the factors that had influenced the development and efficacy of the wartime political propaganda, show the manner in which it was endeavoured to influence the views and opinions of local population, how it was used as a tool against enemy propaganda efforts, and in which way it fitted into the wider historical context of the world war. Since due to research limitations it was impossible to carry out a deeper analysis of this exceptionally complex topic, and certain essential aspects of propaganda totality (e.g. ndoctrination in the educational system of Partisan schools; propaganda oriented toward women; or utilitarian cultural-artistic creations) had to be left out, the paper followed the idea of offering a superficial survey of the main characteristics of the wartime political agitation propaganda. The paper has been divided in several chapters, structured as follows: first, propaganda holders - Partisan press and the Communist Party of Croatia - are presented. Secondly, elements of wartime propaganda are analysed on examples from the press and other available sources, and put into the relevant military context. Thirdly, a chapter tackling elements of political propaganda and antipropaganda follows, in which political and ideological constructs advertised by the warring parties in the area under research are put into context. In the final chapter, the authors study propaganda as a cohesive means directed toward the formation of socialist Yugoslavia. The propaganda apparatus of the anti-fascist Partisan movement in the Zadar area had 1943-1945 reflected organisational and political features of Partisan propaganda present in the rest of Croatia. Via official communication means, general public was kept informed of a civil and democratic national liberation movement, whose long-term goals did not tackle either revolutionary bolshevism or any conversion of the society. It was nevertheless managed by the Communist Party, which adjusted it according to its particular interests and straightforward political goals. In conclusion, it may be stated that in the Zadar district, Partisan propaganda had played a major role in the period under research, and the effect thereof left a significant trace both on the realisation of the intentions of the Communist Party in the wartime period and on the formation of political conscience in the after-war period.

Cilj ovograda1 je na osnovi dostupnih povijesnih vrela i literature prikazati osnovne značajke pisane antifašističke propagande u zadarskom okrugu u razdoblju između kapitulacije Italije u rujnu 1943. godine i samog početka 1945. godine obilježenog potpunim oslobođenjem ozemlja sjeverne Dalmacije. Radom se nastoji pružiti uvid u činitelje koji su utjecali na razvoj i učinkovitost ratno-političke propagande, prikazati kako se preko nje nastojalo utjecati na stavove i mišljenja lokalnog pučanstva, kako se upotrebljavala prema protivničkim promidžbenim nastojanjima i na koji se način uklapala u širi povijesni kontekst svjetskog rata. Budući da istraživačka ograničenja onemogućuju ulazak u dublju razradu vrlo kompleksne teme i nameću potrebu izostavljanja nekih bitnih aspekata totaliteta propagande (npr. indoktrinacija u odgojno-obrazovnom sustavu partizanskih škola, propaganda prema ženama ili utilitarna kulturno-umjetnička ostvarenja), pri izradi se vodilo idejom da se dade površinski pregled temeljnih značajki ratno-političke agitacijske propagande. Rad je podijeljen na više segmenata pri čemu se daje pozornost teoretskim značenjima propagandnog sustava, a onda se prelazi na predstavljanje i analizu nositelja i elemenata propagande. Na kraju se donosi zaključak unutar kojega se valoriziraju uspjesi propagandnih aktivnosti. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
