  • Prisotnost Zdravstvenih Tem V Stripu Alan Ford Diplomsko Delo
    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŢBENE VEDE Pavle Terzič Prisotnost zdravstvenih tem v stripu Alan Ford Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2012 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŢBENE VEDE Pavle Terzič Mentorica: doc. dr. Tanja Kamin Prisotnost zdravstvenih tem v stripu Alan Ford Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2012 »Torej, mladi moţ, najprej se moraš naučiti osnovni zakon oglasa: Vse mora biti jasno, tako rekoč enostavno, pravzaprav niti malo zapleteno, ampak natančno in izrazito, vsekakor izzivalno, vsiljivo in rahlo skrivnostno, da vsakdo razume vse na prvi pogled. Jasno?« (Secchi in Raviola 1971i, 56) Zahvala doc. dr. Tanji Kamin za mentorstvo in prijetno izkušnjo v času študija, Violeti, vsem otrokom, ki so se rodili v nekih lepših časih. Prisotnost zdravstvenih tem v stripu Alan Ford Diplomsko delo raziskuje narativne vidike mediatizacije zdravstvenih tveganj v stripu kot mediju. Izhaja iz razmišljanja, da imajo mediji pomembno vlogo pri oblikovanju in posredovanju pomenov o zdravju. Na zastavljeno ključno raziskovalno vprašanje, ki je, katera tveganja za zdravje se pojavljajo v stripu Alan Ford, kako pogosto in v kakšnem kontekstu, poskusim odgovoriti s kvalitativnim pristopom k analizi vsebine vseh prvih izdaj stripa Alan Ford, ki so izšli med leti 1970 in 1980. V kontekstu popularne kulture ţelim ugotoviti, ali strip medijske reprezentacije zdravstvenih tveganj utrjuje, dopolnjuje ali problematizira. Raziskava je potrdila, da mediatizirana zdravstvena tveganja v stripu kot mediju in ţanru popularne kulture obstajajo in sledijo nekaterim drugim znanim zvrstem popularnih tekstov, kot so filmi, oglaševalske vsebine, televizijski programi in časopisi. Izpostavljena tveganja za zdravje so: zloraba alkohola, prekomerna telesna teţa in debelost, kajenje, vpliv okoljskih bremen, uporaba prepovedanih drog, tveganja na delovnem mestu, podhranjenost otrok, zvišan krvni sladkor, telesna neaktivnost, povišan krvni tlak in nezadosten vnos sadja in zelenjave.

    Nar. umjet. 43/1, 2006, pp. 203-219, R. Senjković, Imagined Dalmatia: Locality in the Global... Preliminary communication Received: 10th March 2006 Accepted: 4th April 2006 UDK 39:32.019.5:004.738.5(497.5-3 Dalmacija) REANA SENJKOVIĆ Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research, Zagreb IMAGINED DALMATIA: LOCALITY IN THE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE The Internet representations of local Dalmatian identity are considered in this article. They differ primarily in the tourism-motivated repre- sentation of the Dalmatian coastal towns and the representations on the Web that are shaped by the largely emigrated local communities from the Dalmatian hinterland. Keywords: identity, Internet, Dalmatia As Stuart Hall once observed, identity is not "what (we) get up in the morning and feel like being". Rather, he explained, it is something that is always and constantly in a state of decomposition and coming together, a dynamic system of relations and conceptions.1 Still, "until recently, whatever the force of social change, a case could be made that social life was largely inertial, that traditions provided a relatively finite set of 'possible lives', and that fantasy and imagination were residual practices, confined to special persons or domains, restricted to special moments or places‘ (Appadurai 1991:198). However, as early as during the mid-1980s, anthropologists were drawing attention to the transnational political, economic and cultural forces which participate in the formation of local contexts, making cultures less "solid" (Marcus and Fischer 1986; Clifford

Therefore, I thank Roger R. Hazewinkel for enabling me to do so and professors Balázs Trencsényi and Jan Hennings for supporting my application. Nanda de Bruin and Hester Bergsma also affiliated with the scholarship both deserve my deep gratitude for their support and care during sometimes uneasy times in Leiden. As for the finished thesis you now have in front of you, the first thank must go to my supervisor Mari Nakamura for her patience and understanding with the COVID-19 related problems that emerged on my side. I am not exaggerating when I say it would not be possible to finish the thesis without her virtues. The second to Filip Bojanić for introducing me to Alan Ford. As having a safe refuge to undergo an ordered quarantine at multiple times throughout the pandemic is a great privilege not many of us have, I thank my parents, who have done all humanly possible and more to give me a home. For providing me with the software and hardware necessary to write the thesis, I thank my brother Ondřej Charvát and Jana Kočková. I would literally get nothing written without them and their help is greatly valued.
