過去兩三年，臺灣出現一波以「網路共筆」方式呈現的學術科普書寫風潮，本文將討論這個臺灣學界特有的現象，以及它具有的在地社會學意涵。我將先討論Burawoy分類的四種學術書寫，接著探討當前臺灣社會學界的社會參與、公共書寫與其對社會的影響，最後則討論學術科普書寫的社會意義。我認為，臺灣學術科普的網路書寫，具有三個面向的公共性意涵：一、它是一種在國家與市場之外的書寫；二、具有學術的問責性（accountability），也就是學術研究者必須對於我們的社會發展狀況負擔一定的責任；三、在此書寫過程中，大眾可以進行參與，是一種民主化的書寫。最後也探討未來此種網路公共書寫的可能發展。

In the past decade there has been a wave of online pubic writing organized by various academic communities in Taiwan that is unique when compared to online public writing in other countries. In this paper I use Burawoy’s four types of academic writing to analyze this wave as a form of public sociology. After discussing public sociology as practiced by Taiwan’s sociology community—including its participation in social movements, local communities, policy making, and media—I use STREETCORNER SOCIOLOGY ONLINE (hang’a’kao shehuixue) to illustrate the three meanings of public writing in Taiwan: as an outlet for society as opposed to the state and markets, as a means to express academic accountability, and as a venue for democratic writing to encourage members of the general public to participate in academic dialogue. I conclude the paper by discussing possible directions for the future development of online public writing.
