Virtualni svetovi

Hrovat, Luka (author)

Članek poskuša osvetliti nekatere sodobne probleme informacijske družbe, predvsem uporabo t.i. virtualnih svetov kot sta televizija ali internet. Izhodiščna teza pravi, da so simulakri zaprti svetovi, ki ne potrebujejo subjekta, da bi obstajali. Na nek način so taki svetovi perpetum mobile in produkt kapitalizma, ki jih je ustvaril s prav določenim namenom. Seveda je ta namen potrošniku na prvi pogled skrit, avtor pa poskuša osvetliti ravno ta skriti moment kapitalizma.

Abstract

The paper attempts to clarify the modern problems of information society, above all the use of of virtual reality worlds, such as television or internet. The main thesis is that simulacra are closed worlds, so in order to exist they do not need a subject. In a certain way these worlds are like perpetum mobile and are created by capitalism with a certain purpose, which ishidden from the consumer. The author's attempt is to expose the hidden purpose which seems to be the essence of capitalism.
