Diskurzi znotraj skupnosti Blockchain

Šilak, Žiga Anže (author), Lukšič, Andrej (mentor)

Tehnologija Blockchain s svojo najbolj vidno implementacijo kriptovalut predstavlja pomembno tehnološko novost v družbi. Ideali, vpeti v to tehnologijo, predvsem decentralizacija, po mnenju podpornikov tehnologije ustvarjajo možnost za reorganizacijo centralizirane oblike institucionalnega vodenja. Nasprotniki in skeptiki glede nove tehnologije zagovarjajo institucionalni način vodenja in centralizacijo ter zavračajo idejo o decentralizaciji. Diskurzi, vpeti v skupnost Blockchain, se razlikujejo med posameznimi interesnimi skupinami. Znotraj vpetosti v diskurze se ustvarjajo mnenja in znanja, ki se tako kot diskurzi med sabo borijo za prevlado. Različne interesne skupine z drugačnim dojemanjem realnosti in ideali so vpete v različne diskurze, ki pogojujejo njihovo védenje. S kritično diskurzivno analizo lahko diskurze, ki pogojujejo posamezne ideale in usmerjajo mišljenje ter govor posameznih interesnih skupin, določimo in spremljamo diskurzivne odnose.

Abstract

The Blockchain technology, which is best expressed as the implementation of crypto currencies, is an important technological innovation for the society. The ideals embedded into this technology, especially decentralization, will create a possibility for the reorganization of centralized forms of institutional governance. Opponents and skeptics of the new technology argue for institutionalized governance and centralization, and reject any ideas of decentralization. The discourses embedded in the Blockchain community are many, and different interest groups possess their own opinions on the matter. The involvement in discourses generates opinions and knowledge that, like discourses, fight for dominance. Different interest groups with different perceptions of reality and ideas are embedded in different discourses that condition their knowledge. Through the critical discursive analysis we can define discourses and discursive relations. Discourses define individual ideals, influence thinking and speech of particular interest groups.
