Abstract

Tanatosociologija je smrt kao sociološki fenomen koja se smjestila u zasebnu granu sociologije. Svaka smrt nije tretirana i prikazana jednako i tu se javlja politička upotreba smrti, mrtvoga tijela i groba. Tanatološki sadržaji su uvijek dio manje upadljivih vrijednosti na kojima počiva široki moralni poredak. Smrt stoga ne koriste samo političari i nije riječ samo o državi nego i o društvu, ima važno mjesto i u široj simboličkoj strukturi i kod pravdanja moći raznih društvenih autoriteta. Tanatopolitika ide korak dalje i istražuje društvene nejednakosti kod umiranja i ideološku upotrebu smrti. Odnos prema smrti je politički i ideološki vrlo upotreblji, upravo zato jer su i vladajući smrtna bića, a propisane norme suočavanja sa smrću su dio ideologije koja pravda nejednakost živih. Smrt se ne koristi direktno, nego posredno preko raznih simbola te je u radu prikazana veza između simbolizacije smrti i politike. Vlast koristi razne simbole pri održavanju i pravdanju socijalnih razlika, razotkriti hijerarhiju vrijednosti koja se krije iza ključniih simbola je prioriter sociološke analize. Simbolička moć je upravo i monopol nad tumačenjem značenja i smisla, zato što je povijesno određena. Osim simbola važna je i sama ceremonija. Sociolozi i antropolozi su jako davno uočili da živi kada žale za umrlima organiziraju želbenu ceremoniju koja bi trebala nadmetati uvjerenje o nadmoći naroda nad pojedincima. Kod javne upotrebe smrti još je važnije istaknuti kontinuitet žrtvovanja i dosljednosti nestalih u borbi ko ja osigurava neuništivost naroda.

Abstract (english)

Tanatossociology is death as a sociological phenomenon that is located in a separated branch of sociology. Every death is not treated and depicted equally and there is the political use of death, dead body and grave. Tanatological contents are always part od the less intangible values on which a broad moral order rests. Death is therefore not only used by politicians, it is not only about the state but also about society, it has an important place in the broader symbolic structure and in the rightfulness of the power of various social authorities. Tanatopolitics goes a step further and explores social inequality in dying and ideological use of death. Relation to death is politically and ideologically very widely used, precisely because ruling mortal beings, and the prescribed norms of coping with death are part od an ideology that is fair in the inequality of living. Death is not used directly but indirectly through various symbols, and in this paper is shown the link between the symbolism of death and politics. Government uses various symbols to maintain and justify social differences, reveal a hierarchy of values that is behind the key symbols is the priority of sociological analysis. Symbolic power is just a monopoly over the interpretation of meaning and meaning because it is historically determined. Apart from the symbols, the ceremony itself is important. Sociologists and anthropologists have long ago noticed that, when they complain about deaths, they organize a desirable ceremony that would have to compete for the supremacy of peoples over individuals. In the public use of death, it is even more important to emphasize the continuity of sacrifice and consistency of the missing in the struggle that ensures the indomitable of the people.
