Jean and Crumbers, > > I would like to suggest that the nice thing with the new media is that a lot of intermediary bodies and people are present in the Blogosphère or the Internet, that are not exactly "amateurs" but operating outside the university settings. . What I want to point out is that knowledge is dependant to a certain degree on validation systems. Rather than a crisis of knowledge, I'd suggest it is a crisis of certain validation systems. This is actually a very important point. Myself, I am not in a University and I didn't follow the normal university path to do what I am doing now. So, I would add that may be the crisis is when this field is starting to institutionalised itself and to be (with difficulties, sure) integrated in universities and traditionnal institutions and validation systems when at the same time the tools for the intermediary bodies are more and more powerful and user-friendly.
