Abstract

Postmoderni mediji kreiraju društvenu stvarnost koja je izvan norme uobičajenog svakodnevnog života, jer oni iz te svakodnevice prisvajaju upravo ono što je neobično, nesvakidašnje. Takve događaje potom serviraju publici kao zabavu i senzaciju, kako u fiktivnim sadržajima poput računalnih videoigara i filmova, tako i u onim realnim sadržajima poput doku-serijala i dnevnih informativnih emisija. Upravo kriminalno ponašanje i nasilje predstavljaju temeljnu povredu društvene norme, ali i pravnog poretka, zbog čega prožimaju medijski prostor. U ovom radu se iz tog razloga proučavaju oni medijski okviri i narativi koji se bave kriminalom i pravosudnim sustavom, a koji se inače podjednako primjenjuju na informativne te popularne medijske tekstove, te publici nude dublje objašnjenje samog zločina i motiva za njegovo počinjenje. Kroz studiju slučaja medijskog izvještavanja o trostrukom splitskom ubojici Filipu Zavadlavu, cilj ovog istraživanja je na temelju teorijskih pretpostavki kulturalne kriminologije utvrditi koji su medijski okviri korišteni u informativnim i istraživačkim izvještajima triju nacionalnih televizija. Također, zadaća je uočiti postupke medijske humanizacije zločinca kroz narativne elemente byronizma, odnosno karakteristike antiheroja koje su preuzete iz tekstova popularne kulture, a koje se pripisuju samom počinitelju zločina. Tako je kroz analizu u medijskim tekstovima utvrđena zastupljenost jedne od najvažnijih karakteristika Byronovog heroja, koja počinitelja zločina stavlja u položaj žrtve-zločinca, kako bi se ukazalo na njegov nepovoljan položaj u društvu te kod publike izazvalo suosjećanje.

Abstract (english)

Postmodern media create a social reality that is beyond the norm of ordinary everyday life because they appropriate from that everyday life exactly what is unusual, extraordinary. Such events are then served to the audience as entertainment and sensation, both in fictional content such as video games and movies and in those realistic content such as doc series and daily news programs. Criminal behavior and violence are what represents a fundamental violation of the social norm, but also of the legal order, which is why they pervade the media space. For this reason, this paper studies those media frameworks and narratives that deal with crime and the justice system, which are otherwise equally applied to informative and popular media texts, and offer the audience a deeper explanation of the crime itself and the motives for its commission. Through a case study of media coverage of the triple Split killer Filip Zavadlav, this research aims to determine the media frameworks used in the informative and investigative reports of the three national televisions, based on the theoretical assumptions of cultural criminology. Also, the task is to spot the actions of media humanization of the criminal through the narrative elements of Byronism and the characteristics of antiheroes that are taken from the texts of popular culture, which are attributed to the perpetrator of the crime. Through the analysis of media, texts have established the representation of one of the most important characteristics of Byron's hero, which puts the perpetrator in the position of a victim-criminal, in order to point out his unfavorable position in society and provoke sympathy of the audience.
