El web Inside Higher Education sol portar notícies interessant en relació a l’ensenyament superior. N’hi ha una que m’ha sobtat una mica: una discussió sobre l’anonimat i l’ús de pseudònims per mantenir la independència i no rebre les conseqüències de les pròpies opinions. I s’hi parla del pseudonimat.
Dues entrades valen la pena de ser llegides: A person who blogs, i The Outing of Publius, a l’edició del New York Times de 8 de juny.
De la primera entrada, en selecciono un tros:
Blogging, no matter how public your subject matter, is just you out there, saying your thing in a kind of stark, extra-institutional freedom. Thousands of people – professors from all disciplines, undergraduate and graduate students, journalists, fellow bloggers, scientists, political activists, administrators, government appointees, business executives — read UD’s blog and comment on it all day, every day. That happened not because a press or a professional society or a newspaper or magazine or journal housed and published and accredited her thoughts, but because one day she and her niece decided to make a page on the internet for UD’s writing. It was just UD, and it remains just UD.
More and more writing, in the age of the internet, is like this — unsponsored, free
