Ensor Entry of Christ into Brussels , 1889
is a project that we led for over three years in our lovely university edge device . It is work that we proposed to our students including science of language, which, despite their brilliant success in bachelor, master or doctoral not mastered imperfectly certain functions of language ... It was their offer a writing workshop that really motivates them. The idea came to us in a cafe where we end up with a blogging friend. By the observation that the trolls were really unimaginative and respondent, gathered around our appetizers, we imagined all the interest that could lead to a blog interventions trollers serious and competent. Noted before going further to those who do not know that it means by "troll" on the canvas, one that causes, research the fight, or rather the controversy since these are only words ... The conversation was making good progress on the qualities that would necessarily have caricatured this troll. Following this discussion, our laboratory has been awarded a grant huge severance of an operator in mobile telephony. In the war for funding our research, we are usually poor parents. Suffice to say that this windfall, we did not expect absolutely not over. He had to quickly set up our research protocol and get started. A first group of students worked on the blog comments. They referred to the "bible" that we had established to calibrate both political and psychological. Right, politically incorrect, one might say multiphobe; obsessive seeking recognition paradoxical happy sardonic. A question arose quickly G1a (the group of commentators) that did not settle the "Bible" could be up to the insult. This gave rise to discussions which were recurrent, the principled position is that the insult was consistent with and necessary to the character, the more credible if she was a woman.
It seemed to us that our troll himself must have a blog. We launched a second group of students volunteers, much smaller, about the project. The work of students G2a was much easier to frame. What has often been difficult is to limit their ardor: a blogger who produced more than three tickets in one day would have seemed implausible. Even in the case of a sexagenarian splenetic, vindictive and stalker. Students have understood, searched their tickets, working on his side "artist" (missed and cursed), his misanthropy, and adding the character a touch of humor that has supervisors worried: it was not at all consistent with the program departure.
He had overcome another difficulty: the bloggers organize meetings ritual. Nothing better than to show our character. The risk might seem foolish but on reflection it was quite limited. In these meetings, each blogger puffed up with pride tends to hear themselves talk. Seem to end, evil and powerful, in short, to be witty, it was enough to be preceded by a reputation for having to be physically identifiable and remarkable. We sought a show intermittent who prepared his role with the G3a, do not be impressed, the band consisted of members from both previous groups. In total, we have been only three teachers and thirty students working on this project.
Why unveil the "pot aux roses" you say? Firstly, our main funder decided to drop us (1). We can no longer afford to operate Didier Goux! In addition, we experienced a series of difficulties which the narrative would be tedious (2).
Some might be tempted replicate this experience (3). We can tell them one thing: Didier Goux, it's me ...
(1) For those interested, are forthcoming on this initial work experience. Note that several colleagues have also initiated work of this type. Their great merit is to motivate students on the problem of spelling mistakes! Do not laugh, it was one of our major goals with regard to license students. Without warning our students, we warned the author of the blog where our character comment was to produce ever more misspellings that our troll. Everyone knows someone who does not make mistakes in our beautiful language, is someone who makes it a little less than the other ... It worked, our students have made great progress, group work, anxious to replay every comment was tremendously motivated all participants.
(2) colleagues from another university in Ile-de-France have launched a similar experience to ours, creating a "family of blogger", the father, mother, little chick. In an attempt to destabilize us, he created a character rital generous, and gifted activist aesthetic that rivals our own character. Both the others are convinced that only their imaginary character is ... A fac Southwest has also launched its character. The campus is currently locked in a protest against the plans of the Minister Pécresse. The only solution they found was to destroy the blog of their character. This idea was completely stupid for drawing unnecessary attention of the bloggers on experiments whose purpose was primarily scientific.
(3) For those who deem that these experiences objectionable on moral, we must admit that several times the yellow line was crossed. We want to apologize for insults that were directed to a blogger, which were real. I must say I felt a deep sadness that I am very much wanted not to have had the idea to make a troll polite, modest and generous.
