Sažetak
The Unleashed Scandal: The End of Control in Digital Age deals with a new cultural paradigm shift. While Guy Debord and the Situationists once have defined the relationship of the mediation center and its public in terms of the 'civilization of the spectacle, ' Poerksen and Detel re-define new age through a concept of the event of scandal, rather than a continuous spectacle. Scandal, contrary to a spectacle, is not distributed evenly from the center to periphery, in a single direction of streaming, but is mutating virally. Scandal destroys a rigid distinction between the event and public as it is absorbing anyone inside, anyone (a) being connected (b) via new mediation technologies (c) to any of social or media platforms. In such a context, anyone can release a piece of an information that can possibly destroy someone else, but can also become a victim of own actions. Furthermore, a person can also self-victimise, accidentally showing own privacy. By exposing, even for a second, a person allows a free entrance to own intimacy. Subject then becomes an object.
