Journal Title: İran Çalışmaları Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The Iran-Iraq War was one of the bloodiest battles in world history. The war, which began on 22 September 1980, when the Iraqi army crossed the Iranian border under the leadership of Saddam Hussein, ended with a ceasefire declared on 20 August 1988. At the end of the war, hundreds of thousands of people from both sides lost their lives. In the war that took place a year after the Iranian Revolution, Iran carried out intense propaganda activities while mobilizing its people against the Iraqi Army. Especially in this war, Iran effectively used propaganda posters to find support against Iraq in public. In this study, 8 propaganda posters determined by Chicago University among the propaganda posters used in the Iran-Iraq War were examined by the semiotical analysis method in the qualitative research methods. The semiotical analysis of the posters was made in the light of the French Language Scientist Roland Barthes’ concepts of détonation, connotation and myth. In the light of the findings, it was seen that Iran tried to mobilize the Iranian people against the Iraqi Army by building hate speech against the USA and Iraq.
