摘要

计算机网络的历史在西方文献中描述得相对较好,但世界上有些地方却被忽视了。本文探讨了计算机网络在南斯拉夫使用的第一种方式,因为这些不同于西方或俄罗斯使用的模式,因为这个国家的解体——加上它从共产主义向民主的过渡以及争取独立的战争——创造了一个允许计算机网络以前所未有的方式使用的环境。本文混合使用历史方法、计算方法来收集和分析USENET数据、半结构化访谈、档案研究和定性在线观察。主要发现表明,获得西方技术和参与学术网络使南斯拉夫的STEM学术界和黑客能够使用计算机网络进行第一次计算机网络宣传战。斯洛文尼亚人、克罗地亚人和塞尔维亚人创建了电子邮件列表,他们试图通过这些邮件列表操纵国际行动者,并为了共同的事业将流散的人联系在一起,他们还通过实施钓鱼技术在USENET讨论组中进行斗争。

The first propaganda war through computer networks: STEM academia and the breakup of Yugoslavia
Abstract The history of computer networks is relatively well described in Western literature but some parts of the world have been neglected. This paper explores the first ways in which computer networks were used in Yugoslavia, since these are different from the modes used in the West or Russia, because the dissolution of the country – mixed with its transition from communism to democracy and the wars for independence – created an environment which allowed computer networks to be used in unprecedented ways. The paper uses a mix of historical method, computational methods for collecting and analysing USENET data, semi-structured interview, archival research, and qualitative online observation. The main findings show that access to Western technology and participation in academic networks enabled Yugoslavian STEM academia and hackers to use computer networks for the first computer networks’ propaganda war. Slovenians, Croatians, and Serbians created electronic mailing lists through which they tried to manipulate international actors and to bond the diaspora for a common cause, and they additionally fought in USENET discussion groups by implementing trolling techniques.
