Portufags, explain yourselves: how did an otherwise respectable professor get away with citing TLOTIAT in an article? Can anyone translate?

>Seria interessante saber que, mesmo sendo um ambiente desorganizado e aglutinando milhares de atuações, os chans podem servir como espaços para a produção, circulação ou debates de conteúdo. Por exemplo, a seção de literatura do 4chan, a /lit/, foi responsável pela produção do primeiro livro organizado e escrito totalmente por colaborações anônimas e aberta. O The Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra (no original em inglês) foi escrito por mais de 2.000 internautas anônimos de 71 países, onde as contribuições de cada um podiam ser indefinidamente reeditadas. O livro já tem edições em três línguas (inglês, alemão e francês) e faz diversas e inúmeras referências a clássicos da literatura contemporânea e moderna, especialmente autores, de língua inglesa, com alto rebuscamento linguístico e formal, como Joyce, Pynchon ou David Foster Wallace.

For example, the literature section of 4chan, /lit/, was responsible for the production of the first book organized and written totally by anonymous and open collaborations. TLOTIAT was written by more than 2000 anonymous users from 71 countries, where the contributions of each one could be indefinitely reedited. The book already has been edited in three languages (english, german, french) and makes numerous references to contemporary and modern literature classics, specially authors of the english language, such as Joyce, Pynchon or David Foster Wallace.

spanish speaker here, so it's a rough translation. But the sense is there.

Pretty accurate.
>even though they're an unorganized environment and agglutinate thousands of acting*
Acting in this case mostly like means trolling.

Overall this text is extremely poorly written, mostly due to the fact that it's a grad student's thesis from an awful university. He's not even a professor, let alone a "respectable professor".
