School bullying and its prevention have emerged very recently as a crucial topic in the Greek research and media. This thesis uses three bullying cases reported in one of the largest morning newspapers in Greece to analyze the discussions around the definition of bullying and its consequences, causes and solutions. Furthermore, the discussions around the concepts of children and childhood are analyzed and reported. Even though the research in Greece the last five years has taken huge steps forward, it has been only based on a more traditional view on bullying, both in research and the media. This thesis suggests that the new paradigm of new social studies could be a vital analytical view on the studies of bullying and its prevention and could be a very useful alternative to be used by both research and the media. |
