  Dans le cadre de son travail de recherche sur les blogs bretons, le chercheur Olivier Trédan propose un nouvel article sur le phénomène des blogs : Continuité entre blogs et pages personnelles ; extrait :
" (...) Dans cette continuité, la pratique du blog est clairement tournée vers l'exposition de relations sociales, l'amitié notamment. La publicisation de l'intime pose également la question de la porosité et de l'articulation entre espaces public et privé, entre la mise en visibilité et en scène de l'intime et dissimulation de la personne. De nombreux auteurs (Robert Sennett, Les tyrannies de l'intimité) y ont vu une perte de substance de l'espace public, de l'esprit civique, induite par le triomphe de Narcisse. Pour d'autres (Dominique Mehl), le public et le privé sont en constante interaction. De cet enchevêtrement, de ces aller-retours constant entre soi et l'autre, naît le débat social."
Rappel : si vous possédez un blog et que vous vous trouvez en Bretagne, vous êtes invité à répondre au questionnaire concocté par l'Equipe de Recherche Marsouin à cette adresse.

Our VERY rough translation:
"In presenting his research on the continuity between personal pages and blogging,
researcher Olivier Tredon recently published an article on the phenomenon of blogging":
"In this continuity, the practice of blogging has clearly turned towards the exposition of social relations, notably personal closeness. The publicizing of intimacy poses both the question of the porosity of intimacy, the articulation between private and public spaces, between deprived public spaces, the framing of exposure and the fictionalizing of the person. Numerous authors, (Robert Sennet, the tyranny of intimacy) have seen seen in this a piercing of the public space, of civic spirit, indicated by the triumph of Narcissus. For others (Dominique Mehl), the public and private are in constant interaction.From this tangle, from these constant return tickets between oneself and the Other, the social debate is born."

" (...) In this continuity, the practice of the blog is clearly turned towards l'exposition of social relations, l'amitié in particular. The publicisation of l'intime also raises the question of porosity and l articulation between spaces deprived public and, the setting of visibility and in scene of l'intime and dissimulation of the person. Many authors (Robert Sennett, tyrannies of l intimity) there saw a loss of substance of l'espace public, l'esprit civic, induced by the triumph of Narcisse. For d'autres (Domenica Mehl), the public and the private one are in constant interaction. From this tangle, from these constant return tickets between oneself and l'autre, is born the debate social."
