identity as narrative

Jill3 Comments

Reading Charlotte H‰gstrˆm’s chapter for our World of Warcraft anthology, I found this quote:

A person’s identity is not to be found in behavious. Nor – important though this is – in the reactions of othersm but in the capacity to keep a particular narrative going. (Giddens 1991:54; emphasis his)

And I’m sure that has something to do with blogs. Charlotte’s chapter, btw, is wonderful, all about names in WoW, and excellently written.

    This is picked up on in literature on the construction of identity in Stalin’s Russia. There is a vast literature about self-presentation in different forms. One of these is diary writing, which would seem very much to relate to blogs.

Grammarly generated fake expert reviews “by” real scholars

Grammarly is a full on AI plagiarism machine now, generating text, citations (often irrelevant), “humanizing” the text to avoid AI checkers and so on. If you’re an author or scholar, they also have been impersonating and offering “feedback” in your name. Until yesterday, when they discontinued the Expert Review feature due to a class action lawsuit. Here are screenshots of how it worked.
