Sažetak
Video game culture is the future of media, and it is becoming as influential as movies, books or music. Grand Theft Auto V (2013) is still the most popular video game nowadays and due to its complex story, it is used as case study for this paper. The aim of this master thesis is to analyze the main protagonists in the video game, representation of race, gender and class, and modern issues of our society, with the usage of satire. Satirical representations are complemented with theoretical notions such as “whiteness”, “blackness”, “otherness”, race tourism, intersectionality and different stereotypes. Satire in GTA V showcases not only many issues of the United States in 2010s, but also gives a social critique directed at individuals. Consequently, GTA series and other video games of this magnitude need to be analyzed in greater detail as future generations can learn from these satirical examples and what is more, interactive material will motivate people to act, change their own negative behavior and start a change in society for the better
