Media Disconnection as a Self-Assertion Tactic in the digital Age

在21世纪的媒介化社会中，不仅可以观察到沟通和连接增加的现象，而且还可以观察到断开连接的现象。无论是出于对政治话语衰落的沮丧，还是对社交媒体永久自我展示的强迫的反应，无论是出于对媒体对编程为监控的技术环境的恐惧，还是出于试图重新控制自己已经脱轨的媒体使用。切断联系的愿望表达了这样一个事实，即通信和连接的可能性增加不仅对当今的许多媒体用户来说是一种祝福，也是一种挑战。这个项目解决了这一挑战，也解决了当今媒体用户使用的切断连接的策略。

In mediatized societies of the 21st century, not only phenomena of increased communication and connectivity can be observed, but also phenomena of disconnection. Be it out of frustration due to the decline of political discourse or as a reaction to the compulsion for permanent self-revelation in the social media, be it out of fear of the media of the technological habitat programmed for surveillance or as an attempt to regain control over one's own media use that has gone off the rails. The wish to disconnect is an expression of the fact that the increased possibilities of communication and connectivity are not only a blessing for many of today's media users, but also a challenge. This project deals with this challenge as well as with the tactics of disconnection today's media users employ.
