| Title | THOMPSON; THE WEAPON OF THE CONTESTATION |
| Summary | This research is designed as a case study of a Croatian nationalistic rock singer Thompson, a controversial public figure whose career is strongly related to the contemporary political contestations. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the relations between the ideology proclaimed by the Croatian state, Thompson’s discourse, and the way in which his audience consumes and interprets this cultural product. This thesis emphasizes particularly on the symbols of extreme nationalism and fascism that could be traced throughout Thompson’s work. As the findings indicate, Thompson’s discourse is highly congruent with the nationalistic ideology of the Croatian state disseminated during the 1990s. His audience, on the other hand, showed disparate results and various interpretations of his songs and performance. |
