Abstract

U sklopu procesa digitalizacije suvremenog svijeta redefiniraju se vrijednosti i uvjerenja
različitih zajednica, a pri tome je olakšano stupanje u doticaj s istomišljenicima. Pojedinci
imaju veći stupanj slobode pri izgradnji vlastitog identiteta u virtualnom prostoru, a
neograničene količine dostupnog sadržaja imaju potencijal oblikovanja radikalnih
stavova kod korisnika. Rad je usmjeren na predstavljanje karakteristika kibernetičkog
prostora unutar kojeg se oblikuje ideologija incel subkulture, tj. zajednice. Također,
provedena je analiza retorike, jezičnih konstrukcija, terminologije i dominantnih
uvjerenja pripadnika incel zajednice kao elemenata suvremene kibernetičke ideologije
koja prelazi u sferu stvarnosti. Ideologija incel zajednice interpretirana je i u okvirima
nekolicine koncepata klasičnih sociologa: Roberta K. Mertona, Karla Marxa, Emilea
Durkheima i Ervinga Goffmana.

Abstract (english)

As a part of the digitization of the modern world, the values and beliefs of different
communities are being redefined, and it is easier to get in touch with like-minded people.
Individuals have a greater degree of freedom when building their own identity in
cyberspace, and the unlimited amount of available content has the potential to shape
radical attitudes among users. The work is focused on presenting the characteristics of the
cyberspace within which the ideology of the incel subculture, i.e. the community, is
formed. Also, an analysis of the elements of contemporary cybernetic ideology that is
blending into the realm of reality such as the rhetoric, language constructions,
terminology and dominant beliefs of the members of the incel community was carried
out. The ideology of the incel community is also interpreted within the framework of
several concepts of classical sociologists: Robert K. Merton, Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim
and Erving Goffman.
