À propos de ce contenu audio

 You’re likely to experience some pride as an academic writer. Seeing your name on an article or a book, having a positive response to something you’ve written. And you’re likely to experience some enforced humility as an academic writer. The withering reviews, the failed publication proposals. Here, we talk about the ‘virtuous’ pride, ‘proper pride’, the things we should be proud of (the publications, the positive responses), and the ‘bad’ pride, the things we may be tempted to be proud of but shouldn’t (the publications which simply attack people, the unoriginal piece dressed up in new clothes). It’s like that with humility, too. Peer review often humbles us, even if it helps us improve our writing, and we should never think our writing is (always) going to transform the world: proper humility means understanding the limits of our (nevertheless valuable) work. Being negatively reviewed after publication is also humbling, but perhaps even more humbling is not being read at all, being ignored. Enjoy the ‘good’ pride and accept the ‘good’ humbling moments; try to avoid the ‘bad’ pride (often ego-driven) and try to survive the humiliations. It’s all part of an academic writer’s life.
