Abstract: [eng] [cze]
This Master's thesis deals with the phenomenon of so-called guilty pleasures within the consumption of popular culture. The theoretical basis of this work consists of three thematic pillars. Specifically: concepts related to the consumption of popular culture by authors such as Fiske and Ang; a distinction based on taste and cultural consumption, in particular by Bourdieu, Peterson and Holt; and a set of theoretical-critical views on the very concept of guilty pleasure. However, this complex combination of (not only) pleasure and guilt is still just gaining more academic attention. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of this phenomenon, through individual interviews with consumers characterized by both high cultural capital and a wide range of preferences, known as cultural omnivory. Within those consumers, the contrast of low and high taste, the presumed clash of acceptance of legitimized aesthetic rules and their violation, are present. The research question "How do cultural omnivores with a high cultural capital perceive the consumption of products of popular culture - especially those which they consider their guilty pleasures?" is answered through thematic analysis of coded interviews. populárnej kultúry. Tento pojem sa v bežnej reči udomácnil vo svojej anglickej podobe, no je možné ho voľne preložiť ako previnilé potešenia či tajné neresti. Teoretický zák pozostáva z troch tematických pilierov. Sú to: koncepty vzťahujúce sa ku konzumácii populárnej kultúry od autorov ako Fiske a Ang; dištinkcia na základe vkusu a spôsobu konzumácie kultúry, predovšetkým v podaní Bourdieuho, Petersona a Holta; a sú kritických pohľadov na samotný koncept guilty pleasure. Toto komplexné spojenie (nielen) pôžitku a viny si však väčšiu akademickú pozornosť ešte len získava. Aj preto je cieľom práce prispieť k pochopeniu tohto fenoménu, prostredníct individuálnych rozhovorov s konzumentami vyznačujúcimi sa jednak vysokým kultúrnym kapitálom a zároveň širokým záberom preferencií, tzv. kultúrnym všežravstvom. Práve u nich totiž dochádza k predpokladanému stretu nízkeho a vysokého vkusu, k akceptácii legitimizovaných pravidiel estetiky a zároveň ich porušovaniu. Výskumná otázka "Ako kultúrni všežravci s vysokým kultúrnym kapitálom vnímajú konzumáciu produktov - zvlášť tých, ktoré považujú za svoje guilty pleasures?" je zodpovedaná
