New media and strategic narratives: the Dutch referendum on Ukraine – EU Association Agreement in Ukrainian and Russian Internet blogs

What makes strategic narrative efficient: Ukraine on Russian e-news platforms

“…The NBPC is a construct that exhibits divergences in the narrators' worldviews or ideologies. It demonstrates particulars in (1) the choice and arrangement of the hierarchical thematic chunks and (2) their factual and emotive salience (Zhabotynska and Velivchenko, 2019). As such, the structure of the NBPC arranges the information which is to be projected in the narrative and which can be analysed in terms of the narrative's projection properties targeted at the audience's attitudes and affections.…”

“…A political narrative is understood both as a text whose structure represents the teller’s image of the world and as a textually arranged image of the world imposed upon the audience (Zhabotynska and Velivchenko, 2019: 365). This image, defined as a ‘narrative-based political concept – NBPC’ (Zhabotynska and Velivchenko, 2019: 366), is a construal or ‘framed’ content.…”

“…The analysis of the formation phase employs a novel algorithm, which constructs the narrative-based political concept (NBPC), or mental image. This integrates information about particular emotively connoted facts portrayed in multiple thematically homogeneous texts (Zhabotynska and Velivchenko, 2019). The analysis of the narrative’s projection phase shows how these texts transmit and reinforce the constructed image via the interplay of at least three projection properties: (1) accentuation of the factual and emotive content, through its iterations, (2) amplification of emotions, through historical and cultural contextualisation of the content and (3) diversification of emotions in their verbalization , through narrative tactics that evoke consumer’s involved attitudes to the constructed image.…”

Portrait of liberal chaos: RT’s antagonistic strategic narration about the Netherlands

“…Some studies have examined Russian narration of events involving the Netherlands (e.g. Rietjens, 2019; Zhabotynska and Velivchenko, 2019), but a more general account of Russian media’s narration about the Netherlands is lacking. By providing this, we aim to contribute to discourse around the potential damage of Russian malign information influence in Dutch society as ‘there is a need to understand how narratives are constructed to be able to assess their harmful capacity’ (Deverell et al, 2020: 2).…”

“…При этом возникают многоуровневые структуры -сети-в-сетях или матрицы-в-матрицах, где различные иерархически организованные концептуальные уровни определяются как концептуальное пространство (вся структурируемая информация), домены (понятийные узлы концептуального пространства), парцеллы (понятийные узлы домена) и информационные кванты (понятийные узлы парцеллы, обобщающие информацию, данную в конкретных дескрипциях). Для воссоздания онтологии нарративного концепта, объективированного множественными дескрипциями, может быть использована многоуровневая матрица (см., например, (Zhabotynskaya, 2017;Zhabotynska & Velivchenko, 2019)).…”
