ABSTRACT
The breakdown of academic historians’ authority over the production of historical knowledge in the context of digital media dissemination is the axis of reflection here unfolded. It starts from the consideration of the historicity of the subject of production and consumption of history, then moving on to the challenges posed by the exponential spread of history made possible by the internet, to get to the discussion of the social function of the academic historian today.
