My researches are two-faced. On the one hand, I have been researching the social position, press-representation and self-reflex of elementary school teachers. I am most interested in the picture appearing in the press about them. On the other hand, I have researched the post-war totalitarian regimes' methods of 'educating' people through press propaganda. During my researches - besides traditional historical resource analysis - I use a metaphor- and discourse-analysis, methods that fit into the qualitative research paradigm.
