Zersetzte Bilder, verzerrte Klänge. Video in Nigeria und die Infrastruktur der Raubkopie

Author(s): Larkin, Brian

Abstract

In this study of the circulation of audiovisual media in northern Nigeria, Brian Larkin uses the concept of piracy to ask questions about infrastructure instead of intellectual property alone. Breakdown in the operation of infrastructures, or the creation of provisional or informal infrastructures, highlight the ways that they attempt to order, regulate, and rationalize society. Scrutiny of the material operation of piracy and its social consequences reveals that pirate infrastructure is a mediating force that produces new modes of organizing sensory perception, time, space, and economic networks.
