Το Τμήμα Επικοινωνίας και Μ.Μ.Ε. του Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών σε συνεργασία με το Ινστιτούτο Σπουδών Επικοινωνίας του Πανεπιστημίου του Leeds και το Ινστιτούτο Οπτικοακουστικών Μέσων (Ι.Ο.Μ.), διοργανώνουν Διεθνές Συμπόσιο για την Πορνογραφία με θέμα «Globalisation Media and Adult/Sexual Content: Challenges to Regulation and Research -Athens 2008».
Στο πρόγραμμα του συνεδρίου υπάρχει ανακοίνωση με θέμα:
From Civil society to “Porn Society”: The Case of Bourdela.com
Evangelos Liotzis University of Athens
ABSTRACT
The diffusion of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and Internet’s extensive use cultivated the idea that new social movements and Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) as well as a lot of citizens (irrespective of whether they belong to civil society organizations or not), could use the horizontal, networked structure of Internet for the formation of a new public sphere (vis-à-vis the state and the market), according to the principles of Habermasian discourse theory. Parallel to this discussion (which mainly refers to the increasing possibilities for accountability due to the new medium and the new prospects that are opened for civil society in general) we witness a growth of on-line processes focusing on pornography and escorts’ services. In this context, we propose the term “on-line porn society” to describe Internet users who actively participate in e-forums and e-moves aiming at exchanging on-line pornography content and information/opinions about sex issues and the “sex market”. Moreover, by describing Bourdela.com (one of the biggest porn portals in Greece) we will try to show how the interaction between the porn and the sex industry as well as the individual customers/consumers, leads to the formation of a certain kind of civil society (its “dark” side) - which one can call "porn society".
