Abstract

Tema ovog diplomskog rada je utjecaj prikaza tijela plesača u medijima na njihovo
samopouzdanje i percepciju vlastitog tijela. U ovom diplomskom radu prikazat će se
rezultati istraživanja o postojanju utjecaja medija na samopouzdanje i percepciju tijela
plesača. Istraživanje je provedeno među 168 plesača koji su u procesu profesionalnog
usavršavanja (škole i akademija) i plesača koji su već profesionalci (završene plesne
akademije, članovi profesionalnih ansambala) na području grada Zagreba i Velike
Gorice koristeći se metodom anketnog upitnika. Istraživanje je pokazalo kako je internet
primarni medij koji plesači koriste kako bi se informirali o plesu. S obzirom na
raznolikost dostupnog sadržaja, nije začuđujuća činjenica kako sve veći broj plesača ne
osjeća pritisak od strane medija da se uklopi u medijski ideal mršavosti. S druge strane,
istraživanje ukazuje na razlike između mlađih i starijih generacija plesača, gdje su
mlađe generacije daleko podložnije i izloženije medijskom pritisku. Za promjenu načina
na koji vidimo tijelo plesača i očekivanja koja imamo uz njihov izgled trebat će
vremena. No, rezultati su ukazali na činjenicu da polako dolazi do promjena. Plesači su
svjesniji kako mršavost nije direktan put do uspjeha. Percepcija tijela plesača je s druge
strane nešto što se ukorijenilo u plesni svijet, a mediji su samo dodatno „potvrdili“ tu
ideju. S obzirom na to da i dalje u reklamama, časopisima i na televiziji gledamo
„photoshopirane“ slike slavnih, mala je vjerojatnost da će se dogoditi nagla promjena u
načinu na koji mediji prezentiraju plesače.

Abstract (english)

The subject matter of this thesis is the affect of the way a dancer’s body is portrayed in
media on dancer’s self-esteem and perception. Here you can find the results of a
research which was conducted among 168 dancers in Zagreb and Velika Gorica. These
dancers are either in their pre-professional training (dance high-school or academy) or
are already professional dancers (finished dance education or members of a company or
a dance troupe). The method which was used to conduct this research was a
questionnaire. The research has showed that the Internet is the main media source when
it comes to information concerning dance. Given the fact that it provides a wide range
of topics, it isn't surprising that the number of the dancers who feel the media pressure
to mold into the thing ideal is declining. On the other hand, the research has shown a
difference between younger and older generations of dancers, where the younger ones
are more inclined to feel the media pressure. It will take time to change the way we see
a dancer’s body, but the research has shown that the change is slowly coming. Dancers
are more aware of the fact that thinness isn't a direct way to success. Perception of a
dancer’s body is something that has strong roots in the dance world, and the media
reinforces the idea. Considering that we still see photoshoped images in the
commercials and in the media, the chance that there will be a sudden change in the way
the media portrays a dancers body is unlikely.
