The images of freedom and liberation created in the Lithuanian periodical satirical magazine THE BROOM are analysed in the paper in the context of three social theories of laughter. At the beginning of the Lithuanian National Revival (Sąjūdis) and during the ongoing processes of Lithuania's liberation a particular aim of Soviet satire was to create a specific image of freedom. Analysis of the content of THE BROOM and scientific studies shows that the magazine, like Soviet satire in general, implemented the tasks of Soviet satire and echoed the expectations of society about inner liberation. At the end of the 1980s not only philosophical and presumed but also realistic motives of (geo)political liberation also may be identified as the result of Sąjūdis activity and its aim to reinstate Lithuania's independence. This specific time is marked by ironical reflections of national liberation and liberation of THE BROOM itself in satirical mass media. The findings of the research presented in the paper show that political liberation was understood in two ways by the magazine: a) as apparent liberation of the content of the magazine and b) as the relationship between political liberation, everyday problems and social vices.

Straipsnyje gilinamasi į sovietmečio Lietuvos meniniuose antireliginiuose kino ir TV filmuose "Pasigailėk mūsų" (1978 m.) ir "Devyni nuopuolio ratai" (1984 m.) taikytus religijos įvaizdžių konstravimo principus antireliginės visuomenės indoktrinacijos kontekste ir teigiama, kad religijos (katalikybės), jos simbolių, katalikų dvasininkijos, Katalikų Bažnyčios ir pan. vaizdiniai tokiuose filmuose buvo paremti specialiu filmų siužeto, pasakojamos istorijos vystymu, jos erdvės parinkimu ir kitomis meninės išraiškos priemonėmis. Šių principų identifikavimas straipsnyje yra derinamas su teoriniais predispozicijų analizės aspektais, kurių kaip analitinės prieigos taikymas leidžia aptarti antireliginės sovietmečio propagandos suponuotus religijos vaizdinius resimbolizacijos atžvilgiu.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: antireliginė propaganda, kolektyvinės predispozicijos, resimbolizacija, sovietmečio kinematografija, meniniai kino filmai, Lietuvos kino studija, "Pasigailėk mūsų", "Devyni nuopuolio ratai".Principles of the religious images' construction in the cinema and television feature movies of Soviet Lithuania: the aspect of predispositions Modestas Grigaliūnas
SummaryThe principles of religious images construction in the cinema and television feature antireligious movies of soviet Lithuania are analyzed in the article in the context of the antireligious indoctrination of the society. By analyzing two movies created in Lithuania in the 1970s–1980s – Pasigailėk mūsų (1978) and Devyni nuopuolio ratai (1984) – it is argued that the images of the religion (Catholicism), its symbols, Catholic priesthood, etc. have been based on a special development of a movie plot and the narrative of a story, on the special space of such story, and other means of artistic expression. The identification of such principles is matched with the theoretical aspects of the predispositions' analysis. Such an analytical tool allows to discuss the "religious" images by the antireligious soviet propaganda in respect to the resymbolization process.

On 27 November, 2009, the European Commission publishes an adopted decision 2010/37/EC regarding European Voluntary Activities Promoting Active Citizenship (2011). The announcement of the European Year of Volunteering (2011) and creation of related political - legal decisions and conditions in EU member states, including Lithuania, commenting from the point of view of social engineering, refers to the objective of creating an identity of an European-volunteer (Lithuanian-volunteer) with the accompanying related positive lifestyle, values, sociality, cooperation, attitudes, and even individuation processes. A part of these processes is being analyzed in the paper. The aim of the paper is to identify the images of volunteering and a volunteer advocated in the visual texts of EU institutions as the associative symbols and to define the holistic image of volunteering in the aspect of a persuasion message content. The subject of the article is the visual texts of EU institutions intended for promotion of volunteering as a part of this discourse and the associative symbols of volunteering therein as the codes of public persuasion. After analysis done in the paper, it is possible to say that the voluntary activity and the volunteers as people of the visual texts created and advocated by EU institutions are subject to association with the missionary expressions of positive images by contrasting them with allegedly negative situations and environments before the appearance of.

Contemporary society persuasion processes are analysed in the Dissertation and it is stated that the contemporary informational campaigns, oriented towards the encouragement of positive processes within societies, should not seek for the construction of solid identities and not changing social provisions, because the persuasion of such type is linked with ways of the information consumption, characteristic to society of masses and does not correspond to contemporary needs of the mobile individual, open for changes. It is strived to prove in the Dissertation that contemporary campaigns of the positive society persuasion should be based on the soft networked persuasion; such way of persuasion in the Work is conceptualised; the model of the soft networked society persuasion is presented and its operation is described. This model is introduced as the practical and analytical instrument able to help organising the communicative programmes of positive social changes as well as to analyse them. Theoretical and methodological ideas of Dissertation are verified by implementing analysis of the voluntary activity promotion that took place in Lithuania in 2011, linked with the Year of European Voluntary Activities Promoting of the European Union, assessing the spread of ideas of volunteering in the country as the programme for promoting positive changes within the society. Under research techniques of the critical discourse analysis and social network analysis, the content of voluntary activity promotion actions is assessed as well as organisational forms of their development from the attitude of the soft networked society persuasion model. The Work can be useful for the community of Lithuanian communication and social sciences, anthropologists, partially – for the community of political scientists, NGO sector, and developers of the social policy

When the year 2011 by the European Commission was declared the Year of Volunteer activities, the popularization of such activity became more intensive in Lithuanian society. Up to the March of 2011, various organizations, institutions and private companies from different spheres were involved into the popularization of such idea. All these organizations are participating in such activities because of different motives. All their self-involvement into such activities and interrelations allow us to talk about the organizational network of society's persuasion, which may be understood as a message-sender and whose main function is to popularize intensively volunteer activities in the country. In the article, the aim is to identify the main organizational sectors which are the most active in the communicational implementation of the EU and Lithuania's social policy decisions (in this case – the popularization of volunteer work). The analysis has revealed the democratic model of society's persuasion. Several clear nuclei of popularising have formed in the country, which concentrate around the different non-governmental organisations performing the projects of popularising, together with organisations of other sectors (the media, private business) or with the EU support.
