Videocracy, Netocracy, telepopulism





「影視作主」(videocracy)和「電子民粹主義」(telepopulism)氾濫帶來的危險。這是同一個脈絡的。


Netocracy was a term invented by the editorial board of the American technology magazine Wired in the early 1990s. A portmanteau of Internet and aristocracynetocracy refers to a perceived global upper-class that bases its power on a technological advantage and networking skills, in comparison to what is portrayed as a bourgeoisie of a gradually diminishing importance.
The concept was later picked up and redefined by the Swedish philosophers Alexander Bard and Jan Söderqvist for their book Netocracy — The New Power Elite and Life After Capitalism(originally published in Swedish in 2000 as Nätokraterna - boken om det elektroniska klassamhället, published in English by Reuters/Pearsall UK in 2002).
The netocracy concept has been compared with Richard Florida's concept of the creative class. Bard and Söderqvist have also defined an under-class in opposition to the netocracy, which they refer to as the consumtariat.

Videocracy is the power of the image over society.[1][2]

Examples[edit]

"Voter-generated-content", such as videos on YouTube, have been identified as examples of a developing videocracy.[3]
In Italy, the election of Silvio Berlusconi as Prime Minister in 1994 was seen by many as a "media coup d'état [and] a drift towards 'videocracy'".[4]
John Kifner writes that in Romania a 'videocracy' was involved in the overthrow of Nicolae Ceauşescu in the "first revolution on live television".[5]
