这篇文章有助于多学科研究,探讨语篇在身份建构中的作用。首先,它发展了一个理论和方法框架,灵感来自最近在数字环境中进行对话分析的学术研究,以及演讲者通过他们的轮流谈话来声称自己的专业地位的方式。接下来,它提出了一个案例研究,研究了在所谓的“谈话”页面上发布的以翻译为重点的讨论论坛评论,这些页面围绕着在线用户生成的百科全书维基百科的主要内容。该分析强调了数字文本通常具有强烈的互动性,并探讨了参与者身份工作的含义:我认为,这种文本空间的多重性需要不断地协商身份,因为维基百科的贡献者为了承认他们的认知权威而无情地相互竞争。在最后一节中,我将讨论这个维基百科案例对更广泛的翻译和数字文本学术领域的影响。
This article contributes to multidisciplinary research exploring the role played by paratext in the construction of identities. First, it develops a theoretical and methodological framework inspired by recent scholarship on conducting conversation analysis in digital contexts and on the ways in which speakers claim positions of expertise through their turns-at-talk. Next, it presents a case study examining translation-focused discussion forum comments posted within the so-called “Talk” pages that surround the mainspace content of the online user-generated encyclopedia Wikipedia. The analysis highlights the often intensely interactive nature of digital paratext and probes the implications for participants’ identity work: I argue that the polylogal nature of this paratextual space requires the constant negotiation of identities as Wikipedia contributors relentlessly jostle with one another for recognition of their epistemic authority. In the final section, I discuss the implications of this Wikipedia case for broader areas of scholarship on translation and digital paratext.
