Balkanization
, or
Balkanisation
,
is
• a pejorative geopolitical term, originally used to
describe the process of fragmentation or
division of a region or state into smaller regions or states that are often hostile or uncooperative with one another.[1][2] Balkanization is a result of foreign policies creating geopolitical
fragmentation as can be seen at times in the Western Balkans with respect to the Ottoman
empire, the Austro-Hungarian empire, the Third Reich, the United Nations and NATO.

Cyberbalkanization
• Fenomena di mana orang mencari
orang lain yang sesuai dengan
pemikirannya (like-minded people), dan dari situ dia menutup diri dari ideologi yang berbeda, pemahaman yang berbeda, dan diskusi yang tidak disukai.” (Putnam, 2000)
• “The Internet enables us to confne
our communication to people who
share precisely our interests – not just other BMW owners, but owners of BWM 2002s and perhaps even owners of turbocharged 1973 2002s. […] A comment about thunderbirds in a BMW chat group risks being famed as ‘of topic’” (Ibid.)
• in short: the division of users into
groups that do not interact with each others

Autonomous Cyberbalkanization
Causes:
• Disintermediation = the
elimination or simply the cutting out
of the middlemen
Consequences:
• Daily Me = personally tailored
virtual newspaper customized for an
individual’s taste (Negroponte, Being Digital (1995))

Heteronomous
Cyberbalkanization
Heteronomous
Cyberbalkanization
Causes:
• Lost sovereignty: to select from a
certain ofer, which was transferred from the Internet users towards code based search algorithms, as, for
example, Google’s click signals and
Facebook’s Edge Rank

ONLINE CLICK SIGNALS OFFLINE CLICK SIGNALS
search history, information of other Google services as G-Mail, GoogleDocs, Picasa and further Google lock-in products, etc.
Political Consequences
Echo Chambers
• ruang di Internet di mana orang-orang
yang memiliki pemikiran yang sama (like-minded people) hanya mau
mendengarkan hanya orang-orang yang sudah sepakat dengannya (people who already agree with them).
• informasi baru bukan untuk menambah
wawasan, namun menjadikan kita overconfdent.
Group Polarization
• phenomenon that after
deliberating with one an-other,
people are likely to move toward a more extreme point of view in the direction to which they were
already inclined.
Group Polarization:
• limited argument pool
• repeated exposure to nearly the same
information
• people want to be perceived favorably by other
group members
• biased assimilation (people assimilate new
information in a selective fashion supporting information = considerable weight, while
undermining information will be dismissed
• Cybercascades:
• tremendously fast spreading of information irrespective
whether they are true or false
Endangered Public Discourse
• normative goal of net utopists was
deliberative democracy (Jürgen Habermas) and, as said before, the global village
• deliberative democracy:
argumentatively, well-reasoned,
communication-oriented consultation of citizens with heterogeneous views
• all preconditions in the Internet age are
fulflled: public fora with equal chances to participate, the ideal speech
situation, etc.
Study of Wexler/Putnam
• in a study of 60 political sites only
nine (15%) provide links to sites with opposing views, whereas thirty-fve
(almost 60 per cent) provide links to like-minded sites.
• interestingly those opposing pages were linked in order to illustrate how dumb and contemptible the views of the adversaries really are!
• BUT: common experience, meaning to
understand the stance of others, is an
indispensable ingredient for fnding a consensus.
• Citizens have to reach beyond their (often somewhat)
narrow horizon – otherwise the ideal of deliberative democracy and public discourse will be compromised.
• “Technology is neither good or
bad, nor is it neutral.”
(Kranzberg’s frst law)
• Bukti empiris mengindikasikan trend
cyberbalkanization eksis dan merusak proses demokrasi.
• The Internet has neither
transformed towards a global
village, nor has it fostered diverse public discourse.
• Heteronomous (algorithm driven)
fltering increases fragmentation on
the Web.
• Civic virtue: curiosity to learn
about others arguments,
self-criticism and open-mindedness can be harmed by
cyberbalkanization
• Transparency: search
algorithms and flter bubbles are intransparent and we do not even choose to use or enter them – not meaning that they do not exist
therefore users should know how flter algorithms work!
• Creativity/Serendipity:
cyberbalkanization and flter
algorithms are anything but engines of inspiration and creative thinking.
• “Google is great at helping us fnd
what we know we want, but not at fnding what we don’t know we
want.” (Pariser, 2011)
Media Sosial
• Berbagai perangkat dan layanan
yang memungkinkan interaksi pengguna secara langsung.
• Konsep yang berpusat pada
read-write web di mana audience tak lagi
bersikap pasif namun turut berkontribusi pada konten.
• Apa saja yang menggunakan Internet
untuk memfasilitasi percakapan.
Perangkat (yang disebut) Media
Sosial `
• blogs, intranets, podcasts, video sharing
(misalnya YouTube), photo sharing (misalnya Shutterbug, Flickr), social networks, wikis (misalnya Wikipedia),
gaming, virtual worlds (misalnya Second Life), microblogging/presence applications (misalnya Twitter, Pownce, Plurk), text
messaging, videoconferencing, PDAs,
instant message chat, social event/calendar systems (misalnya Upcoming, Eventful),
social bookmarking (misalnya Delicious), news aggregation/RSS, dan e-mail (Eyrich et.al, 2008).
Dampak Media Sosial
Internet/Media Sosial: alat
untuk…
• Menyebarkan
permusuhan, kebencian,
intoleransi, dan hal-hal yang bisa menyulut
konfik.
• Menyebarkan
nilai kebaikan, kebenaran,
toleransi,
persahabatan, dan kasih
sayang.
Konsekuensi Negatif
• Media sosial berkontribusi besar
(memicu disintegrasi) dalam konteks agitasi, provokasi masyarakat karena orang bisa berbagi informasi dengan sangat cepat dan dampak yang luar biasa.
