Politics after decentralization? Croatian pornography and virtual politics as symptoms of the Real
Croatian society is going through a transitional period which is greatly affecting traditional media models. The presentation investigates common arguments used in the debate about cultural potential of digital media. Cases of “virtual Sanader” and “Severina’s porn video” are media events that reflect problems and obstacles in that transition. The public debates over the publishing of a false e-mail interview with a former Croatian premier Ivo Sanader (in daily newspaper Jutarnji list), or dissemination of a popular singer Severina’s amateur porno- graphic video via peer-to-peer networks provoked techno-deterministic “life without media” discourse. In many cases debates ignored the cultural and material differences between new and old media models while accenting the physical dissemination (of pornographic video) and physical (dis)appearance (of the premier). At the same time both events demonstrated rapid erosion of a centralized traditional media models and emergence of a distributive net- worked and flexible paradigm. The presentation will discard technological determinism and domesticating metaphors in order to analyze political, cultural and economic effects of life without digital-network media.
