摘要：Kathleen Fitzpatrick is professor at Pomona College, and the author of the book The Anxiety of Obsolescence: the American Novel in the Age of Television (Vanderbilt University Press, 2006), also co-editor of Pearson Custom Library: Introduction to Literature (Pearson, 2006, 2008, 2010) and author of an impressive number of scientific articles. Her interest concerning the integration of new technologies within scientific research and the enlargement of cooperation in the academic communities are also visible when we think that Kathleen Fitzpatrick is deeply involved in the MediaCommons digital network, a true community for “scholars, students and practitioners in media studies, promoting explorations of new forms of publishing within the field” (Fitzpatrick, Santo 2012). MediaCommons includes many projects, such as In Media Res,MediaCommons Press, The New Everyday, the main idea being that of developing a “scientific ecosystem”, a sort of “Facebook for researchers”, where free talk, text publication or interpretation stand for valuable practices. Moreover, the goal underlying this network is both difficult and ambitious – to induce a mutation of the understanding of the concept of “publication”, through the transparentization of the process of writing (the author, the editor and the readers are all present), and not only of the product. This transformation is not equivalent with that of a mere textual support change (from print to digital), but it represents the creation of a new form of “digital pedagogy” that would revitalize the academic discourse.
