Vizuelna proizvodnja i potrošnja nasilja: između emocionalne praznine i društvenih politika
Visual Production and Consumption of Violence: Between Emotional Emptiness And Societal Strategies

Summary/Abstract: Although the discussions about violence in media are not new, these discussions on this specific phenomenon are often added to commonplaces and generalized around the so-called destructive influence of the Internet on children and young people. The violence of children and young people in its essence is reflected individually, but it has a significant societal character. In the theoretical context, this presentation will attempt to clarify the phenomena of production and consumption of violent culture, what these phenomena mean, what are the grounds for the popularity of this culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the way this culture reflects on various societal processes. An effort will be made to explain the social, cultural and psychological profiles of children and young people who are producing and consuming these visual contents of violence and whether the violence is becoming a part of the general social context. The author considers that this issue is not explored seriously and adequately in particular related to the threat called the loss of human capital. In the sociological context, it is most important to find a more comprehensive introduction, knowledge and understanding of mechanisms that empower a culture of violence, bearing in mind the role of upbringing and education in prevailing cyber culture today.
