Book Description

In the Iliad and the Odyssey, song IX, Ulysses chooses the 
anthroponomy “Nobody” to escape the Cyclops. This onomastic game 
operates on two levels of meaning: the first referring to the 
anthroponomical fact, and the second to the lexicon, more specifically, 
to the common name. Ahead of his time, Ulysses would have surfed the 
Internet under the pseudonym Nobody...

The nomination of a name allows all world objects to be included within 
the human paradigm. If to nominate is also an act which allows the 
social subject to be part of civil society and to be well-known and 
recognised by the other, what about nomination and pseudonyms on the 
internet?

This book investigates this question through both a detailed study of 
the nomination of objects of the world and two surveys of Internet users 
and of a corpus of pseudonyms collected on forums and blogs on online 
newspapers.
