Abstract

FROIS, Catarina. Reflecting upon the concept of anonymity. Anál. Social [online]. 2010, n.194, pp.165-177. ISSN 0003-2573.

Starting from an analysis of the uses of anonymity in 12 Step associations - namely as an instrument used by members to manage personal information, both in relationships with other members as well as non-members - this article aims to extend the results of this study to different contexts where anonymity is resorted to, identifying its uses and characteristics at a broader level, as a mediator of social relationships.

Keywords : anonymity; privacy; social relationships.
