Abstract

Već dugi niz godina, nasilni sadržaji u medijima privlače pažnju znanstvenih istraživača širom svijeta. Jedan od najčešćih i najpopularnijih načina na koji dolazimo u kontakt s nasiljem jest putem televizijskih serija koje gotovo uvijek sadrže neki oblik nasilja. Stoga je neophodno stalno provođenje istraživanja u svrhu boljeg razumijevanja nasilja i načina na koje ono utječe na ljude. Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje temu nasilja u medijima, s naglaskom na analizu nasilnog sadržaja u popularnoj televizijskoj seriji za mlade "Euphoria". Uvođenje novih tehnologija i medijskih platformi omogućilo je široj publici pristup nasilju kao vizualnoj reprezentaciji koju mediji prenose, a interpretacije i svrhe nasilja variraju ovisno o kontekstu. Metodom analize sadržaja, provedeno je istraživanje o popularnoj tinejdžerskoj dramskoj seriji Euphoria kako bi se ustanovilo na koji način, u kojoj mjeri i u kojem obliku se prezentira nasilni sadržaj i nasilne scene. Slučajnim odabirom analizirano je 4 epizode iz prve sezone te 4 epizode iz druge sezone, a sve ukupno je analizirano 26 nasilnih scena. Rezultati su pokazali kako popularna serija za mlade Euphoria sadrži velik broj nasilnih scena gdje se više koristi fizičko nasilje od onog psihičkog, pri čemu su žene češće žrtve, a gotovo je svaka scena počinjena s prethodnom namjerom.

Abstract (english)

For many years, violent content in the media has attracted the attention of scientific researchers around the world. One of the most common and popular ways we come into contact with violence is through television series, which almost always contain some form of violence. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly conduct research in order to better understand violence and how it affects people. This thesis explores the topic of violence in the media, with an emphasis on the analysis of violent content in the popular youth television series "Euphoria". The introduction of new technologies and media platforms enabled a wider audience to access violence as a visual representation conveyed by the media, and interpretations and purposes of violence vary depending on the context. Using the method of content analysis, research was conducted on the popular teenage drama series Euphoria in order to establish in what way, to what extent and in what form violent content and violent scenes are presented. By random selection, 4 episodes from the first season and 4 episodes from the second season were analyzed, and a total of 26 violent scenes were analyzed. The results showed that the popular youth series Euphoria contains a large number of violent scenes where physical violence is used more than mental violence, where women are more often the victims, and almost every scene is committed with a prior intention.
