It was decided to explore the form and narrative of >The Hunger<, directed by Tony Scott and >Only Lovers Left Alive<, written by Jim Jarmusch, because both of these works are masterpieces of the romance of the vampire myth with the film medium, which are not particularly popular among researchers of the phenomenon. The research works of Roland Barthes, Vladimir Propp, Erich Fromm and Rollo May were used, as well as the concepts of successive processing of a mythical story were demonstrated.

N2 - Društvo je prirodna pojava, od prvog sposobnog čovjeka do današnjeg čovjeka, svaki društveni oblik ima svoje sastavnice, funkcije i karakteristike, što su glavne teme socioloških istraživanja. Svaki sa sobom nosi posebne oblike društvenosti razvijene kroz ljudsku inteligenciju i životne uvjete (prirodne uvjete poput klime, vegetacije, flore i faune, do kulture i ekonomskih i političkih uvjeta) određenog razdoblja. Zanimljivo je proučavati društvene odnose među društvenim pojedincima i kako jedan pojedinac ili grupa utječe na drugoga. Kako društva rastu i razvijaju se tijekom vremena, s njima se razvijaju i određene >bolesti< ili mutacije. Jedna od takvih >bolesti< je narcizam. Kako Lasch tvrdi u svojoj knjizi The Culture of Narcissism, narcisoidnost predstavlja neku vrstu mutirane norme, u ovom slučaju društva formiranog kroz klinički dijagnosticirane poremećaje osobnosti. . Ovaj rad će ispitati pojavu narcizma u današnjem društvu i razumjeti narcizam kroz sljedeće karakteristike koje definiraju Mustač i Marčinko 2020. godine: nedostatak empatije, arogancija, potreba za divljenjem, želja za pažnjom i samo napuhani osjećaj vlastite vrijednosti. Kada te osobine postanu trajne i potpuno krute, to se naziva narcistički poremećaj osobnosti. Kada naše društvo ima velik broj pojedinaca čije se osobnosti temelje na tim osobinama, takvo društvo možemo nazvati narcisoidnim društvom. Važno je društvo proučavati kroz okvire narcisoidnosti kako bismo razumjeli određene pojave i ispravili komponente koje dovode do društveno nepoželjnih proizvoda u vidu nepoželjnih međusobnih odnosa, nepovoljnih životnih vrijednosti i uvjeta života, rada i negativnih aspekata života. Iako je teško ili nemoguće definirati što čini normalan, zdrav i uspješan život, također je lako uočiti abnormalne značajke narcisoidnog društva u kojem se opće blagostanje i zajednički napredak ne uzimaju u obzir, već samo veći pojedinačni napredak. Natprosječan i sebičan sa samoljubljem i vlastitim interesom, to je Narcis. Ljudska bića su društvena bića oblikovana socijalizacijom, tako da je narcisoidnost suprotan srži ljudskih bića, budući da se narcistička društva kreću prema asocijalnim, pa čak i antisocijalnim oblicima ponašanja kroz samopromociju i samodostatnost. Jedno treba drugo, jer prijateljstva, obitelji, zajednice, pa čak i društva stvaramo poznavajući jedni druge i napredujući zajedno, a sama ljudska povijest nam je pokazala da samo zajedno možemo ići naprijed. Jedan od paradoksa narcisoidnog društva je upravo taj da narcis treba odskočnu dasku da bi uspio u svom projektu samoljublja, samodostatnosti i transcendiranja svih ostalih. Što znači kada se narcis nema s kim usporediti, nema komu pokazati dominaciju, najljepšeg, najboljeg itd.? Upravo je zato narcisoidno društvo bila tema ovog rada jer se radi o pokušaju razumijevanja kako društvo oblikuje narcise, a kako narcisi oblikuju društvo. Većina radova o narcizmu proučava ga u obliku individualnih poremećaja ličnosti, a cilj ovog rada bio je razumijevanje društvenih aspekata narcizma. Za lakše razumijevanje narcizma rad je prikazao odnos dviju suprotnosti u društvu - odnosno odnosa između muškaraca i žena, društvene aspekte fenomena kao i osobne aspekte te kako glasnici javnosti tj. mediji gledaju na narcizam. Ovdje dolazimo do praktičnog dijela rada, gdje se proučilo i analiziralo slučaj hrvatske influencerice Ivane Knoll i narcisoidne elemente u njezinim objavama i objavama njezinih pratitelja na Instagram profilu. Ivana Knoll pružila nam je prikaze pojedinaca poput nje, koji su nam pružili dokaze o današnjem narcisoidnom društvu koje obitava i pronalazi >utočište i hranu< na društvenim mrežama. N2 - Society is a natural phenomenon, from the first able-bodied man to today's man, every social form has its components, functions and characteristics, which are the main topics of sociological research. Each carries with it special forms of sociality developed through human intelligence and living conditions (natural conditions such as climate, vegetation, flora and fauna, up to culture and economic and political conditions) of a certain period. It is interesting to study social relations between social individuals and how one individual or group affects another. As societies grow and develop over time, certain >diseases< or mutations develop with them. One such >disease< is narcissism. As Lasch argues in his book The Culture of Narcissism, narcissism represents a kind of mutated norm, in this case a society formed through clinically diagnosed personality disorders. This paper will examine the occurrence of narcissism in today's society and understand narcissism through the following characteristics defined by Mustač and Marčinko in 2020: lack of empathy, arrogance, need for admiration, desire for attention and just an inflated sense of self-worth. When these traits become permanent and completely rigid, it is called narcissistic personality disorder. When our society has a large number of individuals whose personalities are based on these traits, we can call such a society a narcissistic society. It is important to study society through the framework of narcissism in order to understand certain phenomena and correct the components that lead to socially undesirable products in the form of undesirable mutual relationships, unfavorable life values and conditions of life, work and negative aspects of life. Although it is difficult or impossible to define what constitutes a normal, healthy and successful life, it is also easy to see the abnormal features of a narcissistic society where the general well-being and collective progress are not taken into account, but only greater individual progress. Above average and selfish with self-love and self-interest, that is Narcissus. Human beings are social beings shaped by socialization, so narcissism is antithetical to the core of human beings, as narcissistic societies move toward antisocial and even antisocial forms of behavior through self-promotion and self-sufficiency. One needs the other, because we create friendships, families, communities, and even societies by knowing each other and progressing together, and human history itself has shown us that we can only move forward together. One of the paradoxes of narcissistic society is precisely that the narcissist needs a springboard to succeed in his project of self-love, self- sufficiency and transcending all others. What does it mean when a narcissist has no one to compare himself to, no one to show dominance, the most beautiful, the best, etc.? This is exactly why the narcissistic society was the topic of this work, because it is an attempt to understand how society shapes narcissists, and how narcissists shape society. Most papers on narcissism study it in the form of individual personality disorders, and the goal of this paper was to understand the social aspects of narcissism. For an easier understanding of narcissism, the paper presented the relationship between two opposites in society – that is, the relationship between men and women, the social aspects of the phenomenon as well as the personal aspects, and how the public's messengers, i.e. the media, view narcissism. Here we come to the practical part of the work, where the case of the Croatian influencer Ivana Knoll and the narcissistic elements in her posts and those of her followers on the Instagram profile were studied and analyzed. Ivana Knoll provided us with accounts of individuals like her, who provided us with evidence of today's narcissistic society that inhabits and finds >shelter and sustenance< on social media.

N2 - There has been a striking lack of interest in reforming training and creating new forms of transmitting the essential knowledge required to function as a psychoanalyst. This paper presents a model for training psychotherapists in use in Finland, in which private institutes offer training in collaboration with the universities. The roles and functions of the universities and the institutes in the training are described. The implications of this mixed-model training are discussed, viewed through the experiences of some teachers involved in implementing the model. The teachers were asked to describe their experiences in regard to certain questions: What happens, when a third party becomes involved in the training process? Is it possible to maintain a psychoanalytic curriculum of studies in such a context? What does the relative loss of autonomy signify? What are the implications for the psychoanalytic institutes? Regarding the content of the training, the experiences seem more positive than expected. Institutes seem to have managed to adapt to the new requirements while maintaining the psychoanalytic core of the training. However, the model contains elements that can pose threats to the roles of the institutes and the position of psychoanalytic thinking as the base for psychotherapy in the future.

Y1 - 2023 ER - TY - GEN A1 - Chai, Yunchao T1 - Digital Capital and Communication Labour: Research on Christian Fuchs’ Critical Theory of Communication, Master thesis, Journalism and Media, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou, Fujian, China 2023. N2 - [Chinese abstract not available] With the development of Internet information technology and the popularization of digital media platforms, human communication has entered the digital age, and digital communication mediated by social media and other digital platforms has become the mainstream mode of communication and a common state of existence that people are accustomed to in contemporary society. In view of the central position of digital communication in the digital age and the reality of highly capitalized, commodified, exploited and alienated communication in digital platforms. Christian Fuchs, a famous contemporary British left-wing critical communication scholar, has systematically put forward the critical theory of communication. Following the academic tradition of Western Marxism, this theory uses capital and labour as the entry point to criticize the reality of digital communication and the structure of platform communication under the capitalist structure. It not only clarifies the nature of capitalist exploitation behind contemporary digital communication, but also reveals its inherent capital operation mechanism and labour control system. This study focuses on Fuchs ’ critical theory of communication and tries to explore the historical basis of its formation, the internal logic of its construction and the alternative solutions designed to completely liberate the current digital communication field from three dimensions: history, reality and future. The thesis includes five chapters. Chapter 1 adopts the research method of intellectual history. It traces the academic influence and ideological inspiration of Marx, Engels, the Frankfurt School represented by Adorno, Marcuse, Fromm and Habermas and the political economy of communication led by Smythe on Fuchs, thus clarifies the theoretical construction of his critical theory of communication. Chapter 2 takes capital as the starting point. First of all, it explores the isomorphic relationship between the transformation process of capital from industrial capital to digital capital and the change of communication mode from the age of mass media to the age of Internet media. Secondly, by tracing the history of the commercialization of the Internet, the negative impact of capital’s involvement in the development of the Internet-dot com bubble crisis-is highlighted, while web 2.0, as a product of overcoming the crisis and seeking investment, is essentially a concept invented by capital. In the end, it focuses on the exploitation reality and profit logic of the current digital communication platform, revealing the capital operation mechanism in the capitalist digital communication space with the monopoly position of the platform, the law of time appropriation and the strategy of data realization as the core. Chapter 3 focuses on labour. First of all, it traces the theoretical history of Smythe’s audience commodity and the resulting academic debate, as well as its latest development in the digital media age-Fuchs’ Internet prosumer commodity. Secondly, the academic debate between Jenkins and Fuchs on the nature of social media further highlights the inherently exploitative nature of corporate social media, which ostensibly serves as a platform for participatory culture but in fact focuses on the unpaid appropriation of users’ digital labour. In the end, focus on the labour nature of digital communication behavior and look at its labour control system, with ideological indoctrination, digital panoramic surveillance and gamification of labour as the main strategies. Chapter 4 looks toward the future. Focusing on Fuchs’ recently proposed communicative socialism/digital socialism, this chapter systematically elaborates on the alternatives that critical theory of communication envisions for the current capitalist digital communication field. Firstly, introduce the theoretical background and practical direction of the emergence of communicative socialism/digital socialism. Then, a socialist communication field based on highly developed digital media and intelligent technologies is outlined in three specific dimensions: academic transformation, platform transformation and technological liberation. As a conclusion, Chapter 5 locates and reflects on the academic contributions of Fuchs from the macro perspective of Marxist communication research, and further discusses the implications of critical theory of communication for the development of digital communication in China.
