Thought-terminating cliche

“The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché. The most far-reaching and complex of human problems are compressed into brief, highly reductive, definitive-sounding phrases, easily memorized and easily expressed. These become the start and finish of any ideological analysis.”

- Robert Jay Lifton

Takk for stoff om klisjeer.

The language of totalism:
"The language of non-thought"

"Repetitiously centered on all-encompassing jargon" (Lifton)


Speech becomes a ritual. Everyday life becomes absorbed by rituals. The same rituals for everyone. The unexpected has no space in those rituals.
Conversations become predictable. (Masha)

Klisjeer kan også være et bevisst virkemiddel som kan tilføre noe nytt..
Eller at den ironiske avstanden fra forfatterens side skinner igjennom..

Ja, det kommer an på situasjonen
-and the hand who rocks the cradle.
(Her syntes jeg f.eks. at jeg brukte et klisjee helt frisk og freidig (obs nok et klisjee)).

Jeg elsker å velte meg i klisjeer og kaste de vilt omkring meg. I have a choice and I enjoy every moment of it.

Passopp, Æ elsker klisjeer enkelt og greit......

Klisjeer  er vel veien...
både ut og inn for noen, vil jeg tro.
