Summary/Abstract: Postmodernism calls into doubt all the metanarratives that are naturally and ideologically bound up, directly or indirectly, with propaganda. Propaganda as a concept is widely mentioned in public discourse. It is used to make a target of all those phenomena related to deception or deliberately serving a political function as a means or a tool for a regime to achieve its ends. This essay discusses the modern era as an ideological connotation, propaganda as an ideological instrument and camps as paradigms, and concludes with a literary example from the Russian dissident Solzhenitsyn.
