DIARIES AND OTHER STORIES IN MAY

Continuando la serie delle mie riflessioni on the blogosphere, I will present a specific type of blog, and I will do with a bit of irony, hoping not to irritate too much bloggers could identify types in which I describe. Besides, I know I'm cocky and I consider it a fate than a choice.

There is a kind of blog that is commonly regarded as a kind of diary. Quest'accostamento seems to me a bit 'forced, because that is what the diary is that it represents the intimate sphere, rely on our secret diary, sometimes shameful, just trusting that nobody will read them over us. It 'clear that the public face of the blog, done appunto per comunicare in genere potenzialmente all’intero genere umano, esclude questa possibilità.

Se quindi questo accostamento tra blog e diario risulta facilmente contestabile, rimane da capire perché esso sia stato avanzato, ed anzi rappresenti un modo condiviso di riferirsi a una specifica tipologia di blog. La mia spiegazione è che qui si confonda l’intimo con l’intimistico, non esistono blog intimi, che davvero cioè riportino aspetti così intimi di noi stessi, ma ben esistono blog intimistici, anzi direi che abbondino, che costituiscano una tipologia tra le più diffuse, se non in assoluto la più diffusa nella blogsfera.

A questo punto, must specify which type of blog to which I refer. First, women are by far the most bloggers in this field. Normally, there is a beautiful image, which can be possibly a photo, add some background music, and report on an imaginary world into reality. Customary, is that nature is beautiful and good, when clearly it is not so, nature as we know can be terribly disastrous, is not it a coincidence that humans live in protected places called home. The events narrated are clearly personal filtered, carefully selecting those that do not have reason to feel ashamed. Of course, no sex, no violence, the world that emerges from these blogs is muffled, and the only passions seem to be those for a good movie or a good book. The books in particular, occupy a special place, providing a virtually inexhaustible source of quotes, and outside the context in which it originally appeared, appear to have universal phrases carved on the marble gave us the good things as well as precepts to follow, that as a means of revealing what he dimly felt but could not express. Finally, as an additional element that characterizes them, introspection, not that of psychoanalysts sometimes dramatic, but a watered down version that gives us a reassuring vision of ourselves, because the climate requires good sentimenti e pensieri nobili.

Ma la cosa forse più interessante è costituito dai commentatori che scrivono senza dire sostanzialmente nulla che possa aggiungere qualcosa di sostanziale al testo del post a cui si riferiscono. In compenso, abbondano i saluti, i complimenti, le manifestazioni di assenso, che devo dire primeggiano anche in blogs di argomento del tutto differente. Sembra di vedere una piccola comunità attorno a un tavolino, intenta a sorbire lentamente un tè col bricco del latte accanto, come ce li tramanda una certa immagine stereotipata dell’Inghilterra vittoriana, le donne sorridenti con la gonna lunga fino ai piedi, e gli uomini con baffi e basette lunghe perfettamente curate.

Even in these temples of etiquette, however, sometimes an argument broke out, and it is interesting to observe how the subject and course of the dispute are hidden, so that an unaware reader will not understand anything that happens. There is therefore a special care to preserve this order so formal, polite and even the expression of an opinion fails to comply, even if fully accepted, not because the debate, so that is to imagine that this community looks like with some disapproval in events, almost like someone was speaking out loud in church.
