Abstract

In this paper we focus on the posthumous media image of the deceased professional ice hockey player Pavol Demitra. He was a world-famous athlete, starring in both the NHL and KHL, but this paper primarily focuses on his fame in Slovakia, his native country. Demitra became a legend in his own lifetime, but his story only gained its true shape after he had died. The media played a dominant role in this deeper reflection of Demitra’s life. First, we monitored the Slovak media in the ten years following his tragic death. Next, we focused on the quantitative analysis of two categories, heroism and cultural and societal overlaps, which formed the basis of Demitra’s fame legacy. Through our third step, a qualitative frame analysis, we demonstrated how the media dealt with athlete’s framing. The results showed how Demitra was put on a pedestal and, in some aspects, immortalized as a divine, heroic statue made of marble. At the same time, his legacy has continued thanks to his son Lucas, a successful athlete, keeping the name alive.
不朽的 38:斯洛伐克冰球传奇帕沃尔-德米特拉的媒体生涯如何造就了一位大理石英雄
在本文中,我们将重点关注已故职业冰球运动员帕沃尔-德米特拉(Pavol Demitra)的遗世媒体形象。他是一名世界著名的运动员,曾在国家冰球联盟(NHL)和斯洛伐克冰球联盟(KHL)效力,但本文主要关注他在其祖国斯洛伐克的声誉。德米特拉在他的一生中成为了一个传奇,但他的故事只有在他去世后才真正成型。媒体在深入反映德米特拉的一生中发挥了主导作用。首先,我们对他不幸去世后十年间的斯洛伐克媒体进行了监测。接下来,我们重点对英雄主义和文化与社会重叠这两个类别进行了定量分析,这两个类别构成了德米特拉名声遗产的基础。通过第三步,即定性框架分析,我们展示了媒体如何处理运动员的框架。结果显示,德米特拉是如何被推上神坛的,在某些方面,他是如何作为大理石制成的神圣英雄雕像而永垂不朽的。同时,由于他的儿子卢卡斯是一名成功的运动员,他的名字得以延续。
