Abstract
This thesis discusses the depiction of miscellaneous types of violence that occur in narconovelas, using the examples from the hit television series Narcos, which serves as a convenient illustration of a storyline replete with narco-terrorism in Colombia. In order to be able to determine how these examples support the bad image of Colombia, first it is necessary to establish specific definitions from the Marxist film theory for a better understanding. In addition to this, the paper will explain... More how narconovelas present digital screen violence, cultural aspects of Colombia, and the terms of iconocracy and masculinity within the dominant roles as part of social status-related criminal activities. By thoroughly analyzing the episodes, what will be elucidated is how using aggression embraces physical, sexual and psychological violence which furthermore influences the cultural depiction of Colombia. Destructiveness and callousness displayed in the scenes which show the belligerence of narco-cartels, including torturing and even mutilation, will serve as an illustration of physical violence used as a form of nonverbal communication during a drug-related war. Sexual violence will be studied through the scenes that represent physical and non-physical types of sexual abuse committed over men and women, while psychological violence will be researched through the scenes that contain any kind of deception or intimidation perpetrated in order to ensure power and domination over other people. These examples of depicted violence will ultimately show, through the Marxist film theory, how narconovelas embody a great amount of cultural harm, which portrays Colombia as a hazardous and unregulated country for the viewers.

Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj diplomski rad raspravlja o prikazu raznovrsnih tipova nasilja koji se pojavljuju u sklopu narkonovela, koristeći primjere iz popalrne televizijske serije Narcos, koja služi kao prigodna ilustracija priče prepune narko-terorizma u Kolumbiji. Kako bi se moglo utvrditi kako primjeri podupiru loš prikaz Kolumbije, najprije će biti potrebno utvrditi konkretne definicije iz Marksističke filmske teorije u svrhu boljeg razumijevanja. Osim toga, u radu će se objasniti kako narkonovele prikazuju... More nasilje na ekranima, kulturne aspekte Kolumbije te pojmove ikonokracije i maskuliniteta unutar dominantnih uloga kao dio kriminalnih aktivnosti vezanih uz društveni status. Temeljitim analiziranjem epizoda ono što će se razjasniti je kako korištenje agresije obuhvaća fizičko, seksualno i psihičko nasilje koje nadalje utječe na prikaz kulturnog aspekta Kolumbije. Destruktivnost i bešćutnost prikazani unutar scena koje prikazuju ratobornost narko kartela i velike količine mučenja, pa čak i sakaćenja, poslužit će kao ilustracija fizičkog nasilja koje se koristi kao oblik neverbalne komunikacije tijekom narko rata. Seksualno nasilje će se proučavati kroz scene koje predstavljaju tjelesne i netjelesne oblike seksualnog zlostavljanja nad muškarcima i ženama, dok će se psihičko nasilje istraživati kroz scene koje sadrže bilo kakvu vrstu obmane ili zastrašivanja kako bi se osigurala vlastita dominacija nad drugima i moć. Ovi primjeri prikazanog nasilja u konačnici će pokazati, kroz Marksističku filmsku teoriju, kako narkonovele utjelovljuju veliku količinu kulturne štete, koja gledateljima prikazuje Kolumbiju kao opasnu i neuređenu zemlju za gledatelje.
