Abstract
EKONOMIKAS LEJUPSLĪDES KONSEKVENCES KĀ TRAUMATISKAS SOCIĀLĀS PĀRMAIŅAS. TRAUMAS KLĀTBŪTNES KONSTRUĒŠANA LATVIJAS NEATKARĪGĀS TELEVĪZIJAS ZIŅU RAIDĪJUMOS
Pētījuma fokuss ir ekonomikas krīzes ietekmē radītās sekas, kas būtiski skārušas plašus sabiedrības segmentus Latvijā. Nolūkā saprast, kāpēc sociālekonomiskie apstākļi būtu definējami kā trauma, par pētniecības metodi izvēlēta kvalitatīvā kontentanalīze, bet datu izejmateriāls ir Latvijas Neatkarīgās televīzijas ziņu sižetu teksti.
Medija saturā ir dokumentēta daudzpusīga un socioloģijai noderīga ekonomikas lejupslīdes producētā sociālā realitāte. Vispirms veikts esošo traumas teoriju apskats, lai jau no akadēmiskajā vidē nostabilizētās teorijas un pētījumiem atvasinātu atbilstošas kategorijas tālākai analīzei. Tas ļauj saprast, pie kādiem apstākļiem piemērojams traumas jēdziens. Kontentanalīzes rezultāti rāda, ka daļa sabiedrības individuālā un arī grupu līmenī piedzīvo traumu kā ekonomikas lejupslīdes sekas. Turklāt no mediju tekstu analīzes ir iespējams noteikt arī jaunu traumas dimensiju. Tā kā Latvijas valdības rīcību
raksturo valsts budžeta izdevumu vispārējā samazināšana, rezultātā būtiski samazinot arī no sabiedriskā sektora atkarīgo dzīves kvalitāti, var izvirzīt jaunu teorētisko pieņēmumu. Konkrētāk, finanšu krīzes kontekstā kolektīvās ciešanas Latvijā kā trauma ir institucionālās vardarbības produkts, līdz ar to jēgpilni tas definējams kā institucionālās vardarbības trauma.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN AS TRAUMATOGENIC SOCIAL CHANGES. THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PRESENCE OF TRAUMA IN THE LATVIAN INDEPENDENT TELEVISION NEWS BA THESES Uldis Āboliņš ABSTRACT This research paper focuses on the traumatogenic consequences of the current financial crisis by which large segments of population of Latvia are heavily affected. In order to explain socioeconomic conditions in terms of trauma, the subject has been approached using qualitative research methods. Hence, a content analysis exploring written news coverage in Latvian Independent television. These media provide data in which the social reality of the economic downturn is represented, thus, televised content is germane to a sociological analysis. Previous studies using theories of trauma have been undertaken in order to design appropriate categories for further analysis and to understand when trauma occurs and the factors which qualify this scientific concept. A content analysis of collected data suggests that individuals and certain groups in society experiece trauma as such. Moreover, media texts illuminate a new dimension of trauma. As the policy of the government of Latvia meant to address and to cope with the current economic downturn is based on a reduction of outcomes of the budget, thereby resulting in a sharp reduction of overall standards of living, we may advance a new theoretical assumption: the collectively-felt hardships in Latvia - as trauma - is a product of the institutional violence, hence a new meaningful concept has been created - violent institutionallymediated trauma.. KEY WORDS • traumatogenic changes • trauma • violent institutionallymediated trauma. • economic downturn • LNT
