Summary/Abstract: The Discourse of the Fatherland as a Representation of Socialist Ideology: Discursive Forms and Derivations in a Child’s Personal Diary from the Period 1948–1953 / This study makes an attempt at critical analysis of the discursive forms into which the image of the Fatherland is cast in a child’s personal diary from the early years of socialism. There are two main emphases: 1) on the image of the Fatherland as an ideological construction; 2) on the symbolic efficiency of the discourse of the Fatherland. Hence, the thesis that the discourse of/on the Fatherland forms a specific discursive regime by which socialist subjecthood is invented: functioning as a normalizing ecstatic discursive machine, it effectuates the process of normalization of socialist phenomenality. This is possible, on the one hand, because through that discourse, identities are ascribed – the essentially affirmative distinctive identities of those who are over-gifted and sanctioned by it, as well as the essentially negative identities of those deprived of such sanction; and on the other hand, because the stereotyped representations of the Fatherland correspond to specific discursive expectations and pre-givennesses that depend on the way in which the subjects of discursive practice have been questioned condition- ally or unconditionally by the official ideology of/on the socialist Fatherland.
