Problem of Satire and Freedom Speech

U ovom radu raspravlja se o satiri i njezinoj korelaciji sa slobodom govora. Da bi se najbolje shvatila problematika, u radu se prvo obrađuje pitanje slobode govora i što ona obuhvaća. Sloboda govora nije definirana svugdje u svijetu na jednak način i zato se posebno uspoređuje shvaćanje slobode govora u Europi i u SAD-u. Nakon definicije slobode govora i mišljenja, slijedi obrazloženje njezine važnosti pa zatim filozofski i pravni pogled na slobodu govora. Za razvoj ove teme važno je obrazložiti koje su granice slobode govora i koje su odrednice govora mržnje. Nakon toga slijedi usporedba uvrede i govora mržnje koje su kao termini povezani, ali često krivo interpretirani. Središnji dio rada odnosi se na sam pojam satire, njezinu povijest, primjere i povezanost sa parodijom. Završni dio rada donosi primjere satire u svijetu. Primjer South Parka jasno oslikava slobodu govora i položaj satire u Americi, slučaj News Bara i Feral Tribunea taj položaj u Hrvatskoj, a slučaj „Morar protiv Rumunjske“ prikazuje stav i položaj Europskog suda za ljudska prava.
In this paper essay the discussion will be focused on satire and its correlation with freedom of speech. In order to understand the main issue better, the beginning of this paper essay will focus on the freedom of speech and what it includes first. Freedom of speech is not defined equally everywhere in the world which is why the understanding of the freedom of speech in Europe and USA will be specially compared. After defining freedom of speech and opinion, next there will be an explanation of its importance, followed by philosophical and legal view on the freedom of speech. To develop this theme, it is important to explain the boundaries of freedom of speech as well as determinants of hate speech. Afterwards, focus will be set on comparison of an insult and hate speech which are correlated as terms, but misinterpreted most of the time. The central part of this paper essay refers to the term of satire alone, its history, examples and connection to parody. Final part of this paper essay will offer examples of satire around the world. Example set on South Park clearly depics freedom of speech and satire position in America, New bar and Feral Tribune case shows that position in Croatia, and Morar against Romania impersonates attitude and position of European Court of Human Rights.
