Abstract

The object of the analysis was the discourse about injuries in the regional agenda. The portal acted as a source of information 74.ru. This is a universal media popular among residents of the city of Chelyabinsk and the region, with a wide coverage of different types of target audience. The authors identify the thematic areas in which the traumatic discourse has manifested itself; its value dominants; narrative models of the representation of traumatic events. The field of "medicine and medical care" took the first place in terms of the frequency of publications, and here the desire for a safe, comfortable, stable lifestyle is most clearly manifested, which is quite achievable within the framework of technologies and practices that eliminate trauma. An explanatory type of narrative template is implemented, which uses a retrospective type of narrative with contextual expansion, this allows us to present trauma, antinorm as an event subject to social control, embed it into the world of social order. Thus, the traumatic discourse in the regional mass media performs the functions of stabilizing, ordering social chaos and bringing it back to normal.
