The aim of the essay is to understand the audience to whom Putin delivered his speech and to analyse what ideology and world view that could have been projected on them thru the discourses secondpersona. The main question at issue is: In what way and form does the discourses secondpersona appear in Putin’s speech?
The method used to answer the question at issue is a close textual analysis of the discourse followed by an interpretation of Edwin Blacks theory of the discourses second persona. The close textual analysis focused on the dispositio, argumentatio and elocutio in the speech and its second persona was later analysed according to them. The discourses second persona appeared in four different ways: The proposition, propositio of the speech, the dichotomy: we and them, ambiguous expressions of the speech and the allusion in truth – power.
The conclusion formed according to the results of the analysis is that the discourses second persona is a Russian citizen that accepts the proposition that Russia has done the right thing. The implicated audience accepts Putin’s arguments and believes that the war is justified and legitimate. Their ideology and world view consist of the fact that Russia formed the modern Ukraine and that the people of Ukraine are Russians. The implicated audience believes that the people of Ukraine has been oppressed and forced to leave their original culture and the love they have for their real homeland, Russia.
As external viewers of Russia and its war in Ukraine we must understand, in this situation, the ideology that can be projected on an audience, the opinions and arguments with the purpose to form an audience’s world view. We must try to understand that that different world view, held by thousands of people convinced that it is the correct view, through their perspective. It is not the people of Russia, that solidate with Putin that we should shame. It is the false information and idealized world view forced upon them we should recognize. (Less)
