Javier Redondo deciphers the politics of the spectacle

Javier Redondo, Spanish professor of political science, analyses a new element of media democracy. "Videopolitics, namely the diffusion of videos with little informative content but which are very strong on the passionate front, cuts all rational debate off at the knees. Not because it succeeds in spreading propaganda or demagoguery, ... but because it embodies the devastating stimulant of an image of a society that lives at full speed in which citizens don't waste their time worrying about problems of the 'polis.' ... What's more, it works perfectly with a medium of diffusion, the internet, where the individual in a hurry looks for their own injection of pseudo-information. Videopolitics is nothing more than an advanced form of propaganda built upon a new conception of politics: media democracy... . Gifted communication and a telegenic personality win out over the classic leadership qualities."

How the Internet is influencing Spanish political life

As legislative elections are to be held in Spain on March 9th, 2008, Javier Redondo, professor of political sciences, analyses the role played by Internet in this vote. "During this long pre-campaign phase, politicians have stormed the Internet. This is not because they think that cyberspace allows decisive votes to be cast, but because it is imperative in modern times. You have to be up to date, to be 'in', and this means being online. ... In terms of quantity, a tool such as [the social utility] facebook will not fill ballot boxes. But it has become indispensable if you don't want to come across as a caveman. ... This is one of the obligations of the decade of political showmanship, one of the principles of which is to campaign non-stop."
