Into the Blogosphere: Rhetoric, Community, and Culture of Weblogs: Personal Publication and Public Attention

October 7, 2007 by Peter Fletcher

Into the Blogosphere: Rhetoric, Community, and Culture of Weblogs: Personal Publication and Public Attention: “In the educational system, the system legitimizes itself through creating tools for self-criticism. In this manner, criticism, rather than destabilising the hegemony disseminated through the educational system, reinforces it (Bourdieu & Passeron, 1990b, p. 61). This study of reproduction appears to trap a scholar in an unbreakable trap, where the authority the scholar wields in her own study of the meaning of society is supplied through the doxa of the society within which study ensues. The fact that this structure permits criticism legitimates it, the same way as the criticism of the democratic government in the political sphere of Habermas legitimates the government it criticises.”
