Abstract Glavna teza ovoga diplomskog rada jest dokazati povezanost fenomena narcizma s
društvenim mrežama koje su globalno proširene. Kako bih to dokazala, na početku treba
definirati što je uopće taj fenomen, kako ga prepoznati te kako se ponašati u vezi s njim. Razne
inačice mitova o narcizmu uvode nas u srž problema koji je psihološke prirode. Kasnije teorije
o narcizmu potiču rasprave među psihoanalitičarima koji ga dijele na nekoliko vrsta.
Definiranje narcizma prema Sigmundu Freudu uvelike je pojednostavilo shvaćanje samog
problema. Nagon je glavni pokretač svega u ljudima jer se on nalazi u unutrašnjosti svakog
živog bića. Svijet u kojemu danas živimo obiluje dokazima o posljedicama narcisoidnog
djelovanja. Središnji dio ovoga diplomskog rada upravo je tome i posvećen jer „generacija
mene“ nikada nije prestala postojati. Posvuda se pronalaze ista nagonska nastojanja i isti
kulturni obrasci ponašanja. Što je glavni krivac tome? Društvene mreže povezane su s
međuljudskim vezama jer ljudi koriste upravo njih kako bi procijenili druge, ali i sebe. Narcisi
koriste društvene mreže za održavanje „napuhane“ slike o sebi kao i stvaranju vlastitog imidža.
Naglo širenje slika bez sadržaja potiče naša osjetila, ali nas ostavlja duhovno pothranjenim.
Stvara se selfie kultura, kultura autoportreta. Kako je pravi autoritet potkopan, osjećamo da je
manipulacija slikom način da dobijemo ono što želimo. Ta pojava samo je dio manifestacije
jednoga mnogo šireg fenomena – opsesivne samopromocije i konstantne potrage za potvrdom
osobne vrijednosti, sve to uz pomoć interneta i društvenih mreža. Istraživačkim dijelom rada
potvrdila sam zadanu tezu budući da su društveni mediji u doslovno svakom kućanstvu – njima
se služimo kako bismo došli do potrebnih informacija, sklapali nova virtualna prijateljstva,
gledali objavljene sadržaje drugih korisnika, komentirali ih i označavali oznakama „sviđa mi
se“ itd. Sve nabrojano pripada karakteristikama potencijalnih narcisa kojima društvene mreže
služe kao platforma za samopromociju, a najzastupljenije su mreže Facebook i Instagram. Kako
će se svijet nastaviti razvijati u ovakvom okruženju, glavno je pitanje ovoga diplomskog rada
na koje još uvijek ne znamo sasvim odgovoriti.
Abstract (english) The main point of this thesis is to prove the connection between the phenomenon of
narcissism and social networks that are globally expanded. In order to prove this, we must first
define what this phenomenon is, how to recognize it, and how to act on it. Different versions of
the myths of narcissism introduce us to the very core of the problem, which is psychological in
nature. Later theories on narcissism spark debate among psychoanalysts who divide it into
several versions. Defining narcissism according to Sigmund Freud greatly simplified the
understanding of the problem itself. Instinct is the main starter of everything in humans because
it is inside every living being. The world we live in today is full of evidence of the
consequences of narcissistic activity. The centerpiece of this thesis is precisely why this
„generation of me“ has never ceased. Everywhere, the same instincts and the same cultural
patterns of behavior are found. The main culprit for this? Social networks are linked to
interpersonal relationships because people use them to evaluate others and even themselves.
Narcissists use social networks to maintain an „inflated“ image of themselves and to create
their own image. The sudden spread of images without content stimulates our senses, but leaves
us spiritually malnourished. It creates a selfie culture, a culture of self-portraits. As true
authority is undermined, we feel that image manipulation is the way to get what we want. This
phenomenon is only part of the manifestation of a much broader phenomenon – obsessive selfpromotion
and the constant pursuit of affirmation of personal value, all with the help of the
internet and social networks. With the research part of the paper, I confirmed the thesis given
that social media is in virtually every household. They are used to get the information we need,
make new virtual friendships, view published content from other users, comment on it, like it
etc. All of these belong to the characteristics of potential narcissists who use social networks as
a platform for self-promotion, and the networks that are most represented are Facebook and
Instagram. How the world will continue to evolve in such an environment is a major question
in this thesis that is still very difficult to answer.
