Sobre o enfraquecimento da comunidade biblioblogueira

Jim West continua a refletir, a partir de um post de Mark Goodacre, sobre o relaxamento, que segundo ele, em The Dis-Integration of the “Biblioblogging” Community, teria tomado conta da comunidade biblioblogueira nos últimos meses.

Mark Goodacre escreveu: Disintegration of the Biblioblogging Community? Jim West repercutiu em Dis-Integration: Part Two.

Acho que Jim conseguiu o que queria: o renascimento do debate sobre a comunidade biblioblogueira. E como renasceu. Seu post foi uma provocação. Mexeu com os brios de muitos. Vários biblioblogueiros comentaram o post de Jim West. Veja (uma lista por ordem alfabética dos nomes e certamente incompleta):

Claude Mariottini: The Disintegration of the Biblioblogging Community

Edward Cook: The End of Biblioblogdom?

jps: The biblio-blog community

Loren Rosson III: Success and Disintegration in Biblioblogdom

The Dis-Integration of the “Biblioblogging” Community

Será que Jim tem razão? Leia o texto. Vamos debater.

…The “biblioblogging” community qua community is either dead or breathing its last. Mind you, I don’t think biblioblogging itself is dead. Quite the contrary – there are many bloggers interested in Biblical Studies. But qua community, as an inter-related, convivial, dialoguing entity – it has ceased to be. Why? (cont.)

Blog do mês de março 2006: Higgaion, de Chris Heard

Blog of the Month: March 2006

O blog do mês de março 2006, escolhido por Biblioblogs.com, é Higgaion, de Christopher Heard, de Oak Park, Califórnia, USA. Chris Heard é professor de Antigo Testamento na Pepperdine University, Malibu, Califórnia. Higgaion tem como proposta tratar de “meditations on biblical studies, church life, and any other topics I find to be of spiritual interest”.

Na entrevista, quero destacar uma das respostas de Chris Heard, e é justamente sobre as vantagens e desvantagens do ato de blogar:

BB: What have you found to be the advantages and disadvantages of blogging?
CH: The advantage to me is that when I have something to say, I can say it, and those who care can listen and respond. As I mentioned before, the main value to me is in communicating with friends new and old about topics of mutual interest. At times blogs can seem sort of like parallel monologues, so it’s an interesting kind of communication medium. One of the things I really like about blogs is that scholars, graduate students, and interested non-specialists interact in the blogosphere with a free and nonhierarchical exchange of ideas; there is no “pulling rank” or, usually, flouting of credentials. If nothing else, it’s a way for me to think out loud, but the “democratization” of academic discourse in the blogosphere also creates a sense of responsibility and accountability that I don’t always feel when dealing with my own students, who are far more likely to “take my word for it” even if I encourage them not to do that. The primary disadvantage to blogging is that it’s one more thing on my “to do” list.
