Vilém Flusser on Politics - Dictionary of Arguments

I 202
Politics/Flusser: Def Politicize/Flusser: Politicizing carries the private into public space. On television, politicians enter the private sphere and depoliticize it.
>Television
, >Cinema, >Society, >Media.
The images transform the recipient into a consuming, passive, suffering one. In this sense, all images are "advertisement", even if announcers state that they are "indicative" (wrong information) or "art".
>Advertising.
I 203
The imperative character of television is in illusory decoding and not encoded in its information.
I 204
The crucial thing about television is that the box is incapable of broadcasting. Television could work in the same way as telephones do (in both directions). The inability is ideological.
Television could actually work on the creation of a "cosmic village" ((s) positive) instead of a "cosmic circus". So it is not the establishment of a technocratic totalitarianism, but of a "democracy" in an as yet incomprehensible sense of the word.
>Totalitarianism, >Democracy.
