20.500.12556/DKUM-74612 References to American Culture in the TV Series Supernatural: Analysis of Selected Episodes Reference na ameriško kulturo v nadaljevanki Nadnaravno: analiza izbranih epizod The main aim of this master's thesis is to look into the use of references to American culture in the selected episodes of TV series Supernatural. The empirical part is divided into two parts. In the first part, there is an analysis of references in the selected episodes, which includes the context in which they appear, explanation and possible understanding or misunderstanding by the Slovene viewers. The analysis shows that most of the references are connected to popular culture, especially TV, movies and music. Other cultural categories which appear are literature, general American culture and sport. The purpose of the most references is to appeal to the broader audience, set the humoristic mood and identify the character. The second part of the empirical part is questionnaire analysis. Questionnaires were handed out to first- and third-year students of English Language and Literature on Faculty of Arts in Maribor. With this questionnaire, the level of understanding of selected references and possible differences between the results of first-year and third-year students have been be examined. The questionnaire contained 10 multiple-choice questions. The results show no significant deviances in the correctness of the answers of third- and first-year students; however, the first-year students reached slightly higher percent of correct answers. The students performed better on questions related to present American popular culture (Hulk, Star Wars, The Parent Trap). Questions with the least correct answers were those on American general culture, especially cultural items that are not present in the Slovene culture (for example, GED and historic cultural elements). Namen magistrskega dela je raziskati uporabo referenc na ameriško kulturo v izbranih epizodah televizijske nadaljevanke Nadnaravno. Empirični del je razdeljen na dva dela. V prvem delu je analiza referenc iz izbranih epizod, ki vključuje kontekst, v katerem se pojavijo, njihovo razlago in poznavanje ali nepoznavanje s strani slovenskega gledalca. Analiza je pokazala, da je večina referenc povezana s popularno kulturo; največ s televizijsko industrijo in glasbo. Ostale kategorije, ki se še pojavijo, so literatura, splošna ameriška kultura in šport. Namen večine referenc je nagovarjanje širšega občinstva, vzpostavljanje hudomušnega ozračja in oznaka osebe. Drugi del magistrskega dela sestavlja analiza vprašalnikov, ki so bili izročeni študentom prvega in tretjega letnika študijskega programa Angleški jezik in književnost na Filozofski fakulteti v Mariboru. Z vprašalnikom so bili preverjeni poznavanje in razumevanje izbranih referenc in razlike med razumevanjem študentov prvega in tretjega letnika. Vprašalnik je bil sestavljen iz desetih vprašanj izbirnega tipa. Rezultati ne kažejo opaznih razlik med pravilnostjo odgovorov študentov prvega in tretjega letnika, vendar so študenti prvega letnika dosegli malo večji delež pravilnih odgovorov. Na vprašanja, povezana s sodobno popularno kulturo (npr. Hulk, Vojna zvezd, Past za starše), so študenti odgovarjali bolje, kot na vprašanja, povezana s splošno ameriško kulturo, še posebej tista, povezana s kulturnimi elementi, ki jih v slovenski kulturi ni (»GED«, zgodovinski elementi). popular culture cultural references Supernatural reference analysis questionnaire analysis popularna kultura kulturne reference Nadnaravno analiza referenc analiza vprašalnika true true false [S.
