Hello Kornelia, We usually anonymity, deception, and trust as related concepts in our CMC course. The following three papers are relevant, but for sure you'll find more out there: * Donath, J. (1999). Identity and deception in the virtual community. In M. Smith & P. Kollock (Eds.), Communities in Cyberspace. * Lampe, C., & Resnick, P. (2004). Slash(dot) and burn: Distributed moderation in a large online conversation space.Proceedings of CHI 2004. http://www.si.umich.edu/~presnick/papers/chi04/LampeResnick.pdf * Jøsang, A., Ismail, R., & Boyd, C. (2007). A survey of trust and reputation systems for online service provision. Decision Support Systems, 43 (2), 618-644. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/28303/JIB2007-DSS-Survey.p... I hope you'll find some of this content useful!

I was able to identify one paper on the representations of online anonymity in Canadian newspapers http://firstmonday.org/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/rt/printerFriendly... I’m searching for more. My current project investigates the public discourse surrounding online anonymity in Poland. I want to explore who, how and why shapes the debate concerning anonymity on the Internet (with the particular focus on the ‘real name’ policy advocated by Facebook). I’m also researching the consequences of this debate for a democratic public sphere. Any suggestions and contacts to people doing similar thing will be highly appreciated. Best wishes, Kornelia Trytko PhD candidate Nottingham Trent University _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
