Abstract:Glavni namen te magistrske naloge je bila preučitev življenjskega cikla kultov in prepoznati značilnosti ter preučiti otroštva njihovih karizmatičnih vodij. Empirični del temelji na sekundarni analizi virov o treh izbranih kultih in njihovih vodij: Združitvena cerkev in Sun Myung Moon, Federacija Damanhur in Oberto Airaudi ter Ljubezen je zmagala in Amy Carlson. Študija primerov je pokazala, da so značilnosti in načini delovanja med vodji kultov različna, a vsi zatrjujejo posebno povezanost z bogom oz. nadnaravnim, izkazujejo karizmo in uporabljajo tehnike manipulacije. Izkazalo se je tudi, da imajo vodji kultov lahko zelo različna otroštva. Edina podobnost, ki smo jo odkrili v navezavi na to, je, da vsi trdijo, da so imeli razne paranormalne izkušnje v mladosti. Glede življenjskih faz kultov je potrebno izpostaviti, da jih je možno razdeliti v razne časovne okvirje (oblikovanje, rast, vprašanja stabilnosti in transformacija ali razpad), vendar smo ugotovili, da se te faze pogosto delno prekrivajo in da so same meje med njimi zabrisane. Presenetljiva ugotovitev je, da lahko kulti nadaljujejo z delovanjem tudi po smrti njihovega karizmatičnega vodje, a le če jih je ta na to pripravil in kult v času svojega življenja spremenil v skupino, ki je v širši družbi bolj sprejemljiva. Te ugotovitve širijo naše razumevanje o kultih in njihovih vodjih, hkrati pa ponujajo možnosti za nadaljnje raziskovanje ter preučevanje te tematike.

Title:Formation and characteristics of charismatic leadership: life cycle of cults through the lens of three case studies : magistrsko delo
Abstract:The main purpose of this master’s thesis was to examine the life cycle of cults and to identify the characteristics and examine childhoods of their charismatic leaders. The empirical part is based on secondary analysis of sources concerning three selected cults and their leaders: the Unification Church and Sun Myung Moon, the Federation of Damanhur and Oberto Airaudi, and Love Has Won and Amy Carlson. The case studies showed that the characteristics and models of operation of cult leaders differ, but all claim a special connection to god or supernatural, exhibit charisma, and employ manipulative techniques. We also found out that cult leaders can have very different childhoods. The only similarity discovered in this regard is that they all report having had various paranormal experiences in their youth. Regarding the life stages of cults, it is important to emphasize that these can be divided into different phases (formation, growth, issues of stability, and transformation or dissolution), but we found that these phases often partially overlap and the boundaries between them are blurred. A surprising finding is that cults can continue to operate even after the death of their charismatic leader, however, only if the leader had prepared them for this and had transformed the cult during their lifetime into a group more acceptable to broader society. These findings expand our understanding of cults and their leader while also offering opportunities for further research and exploration of this topic.
