| Title | The Messages form Internal Emmigration: the correspondence of Sezam Bulletin Board System in 1990`s in Yugoslavia |
| Summary | In this thesis, I am analyzing the correspondence between young people in Yugoslavia on Bulletin Board System (BBS) Sezam, founded in 1989 in Belgrade. The new communication technology enabled interesting correspondence in the outbreak of war in former Yugoslavia. What makes this communication very interesting as a source is its temporal congruence with the political crisis in the country. The beginning of intensive use of the BBS corresponds with the beginning of the media war, political polarization and exposure of the masses to the nationalistic discourse in Yugoslavia. In the former Yugoslavia, because of its specific circumstances, this medium served as an alternative discourse in society which fundamentally changed its value criteria at the time. As many discussions were dedicated to the turbulent occurrences, I consider this communication as a valuable source for examining the influence of nationalistic ideology in Serbian public sphere in the beginning of the 1990s and its critical perception in one virtual micro-social space. |
