1 Contents Part one: Background of this study and overview of theoretical approaches of school shooting About this research The Existential perspective Purpose of the study Method and approach Relevance of this study Definition of the term school shooting The genesis of school shootings according to theoretical approaches Theories of social causes Theories of personal causes Different approaches, my approach and the link to existential concerns Part two: Deconstructing popular perceptions of school shooters and an analysis of movies about school shootings Popular perceptions of school shooters Scientific data versus popular perception Discussion: School shootings as purposeful behavior Popular culture and school shootings: film analyses Filmmaking and worldmaking... 71

4 5.4 Patterns found in the expressions Reflection on the pattern in which existential concerns arise in egodocuments Through the kaleidoscope: Sebastian Bosse Understanding the existential dimension of school shootings The genesis of school shootings: implicit religion The meaning of myth, ritual and transcendent experiences in the context of implicit religion Method School shootings as meaning giving constructs: implicit religion of school shootings Myth, transcendent experiences, and rituals of Luke Woodham Myth, transcendent experiences and rituals of Kip Kinkel Myth, transcendent experiences, and rituals of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold Myth, transcendent experiences, and rituals of Sebastian Bosse Myth, transcendent experiences, and rituals of Seung-Hui Cho Myth, transcendent experiences, and rituals of Pekka-Eric Auvinen School shootings as implicit religion and meaning-giving construct

5 Part four: School shootings seen in a broader context, lessons learned and recommendations School shootings are not an isolated phenomenon The avenging angel: personal grievance or universal revenge The expected reward: eternal fame, paradise, and transcendental-future The mission of the chosen one: I have to do this for the greater good The imagined war: the apocalypse Violent acts as purposeful behaviour Lessons learned What to do and a call for further research Recommendation for educational context Remembering the victims Bibliography Appendix Questionnaire popular perceptions Film-analyses model Abstract Dankwoord
