No end to peculiar talks (responding to Adam Lipszyc)
In his polemic with the author of ‘Powszechna rozwiązłość: Schulz, egzystencja, literatura’, Adam Lipszyc defended a messianic interpretation of Schulz’s work, rejected by Markowski wholesale as based on insuffi cient textual evidence. According to Markowski
all attempts at inscribing Schulz in the messianic tradition, no matter how defi ned, must fail because they do not acknowledge a parodic and ironic dimension of Schulz’s worldview, which ruins any serious access to religious thinking of which messianism is a clear example
The Seduction of the Name: Universal Marranism and the Secret of Being-in-Language
The author combines Walter Benjamin’s speculations on language, naming, and horror with Jean Laplanche’s general theory of seduction and his notion of the enigmatic signifier in order to reconstruct what he identifies as the primal scene of initiation into language. Further, the author develops this construction by linking it to a similar structure which he extracts by means of interpretation from Jacques Derrida’s commentaries to the Biblical stories of the Tower of Babel and of the Binding of Isaac. Finally, the author shows how the primal scene thus reconstructed should be seen as the transcendental condition of being in language as described by Derrida in his seminal essay on Monolingualism of the Other and how this very condition should be understood as a universalized form of the Marrano condition. The most far-reaching conclusion of the argument is, then, that at least for Jacques Derrida, every subject of language is a Marrano

Zatrzaśnięte ciała, zatrzaśnięte dusze. Freud, Nancy, Jelinek
Taking as his point of departure Sigmund Freud’s famous remark on the extension of the psyche, in the first part of the article the author develops the idea of the relation between “soul,” body and space in the psychoanalytical tradition. In doing so, he refers to the interpretation given to Freud’s remark by Jean-Luc Nancy. Crucially modifying Nancy’s perspective and moving back to the psychoanalytic tradition, the author develops a general notion of das Unbehagen im Raum – the discomfort felt in space. In the second part, the author deepens this analysis by looking at a certain desperate strategy of confronting this discomfort – a strategy adopted by the protagonist of The Piano Teacher, a novel by Elfriede Jelinek

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Wszystkie ciała człowieka
The paper is an essay on a materialist, though not reductionist philosophical anthropology derived from Sigmund Freud’s writings on human sexuality and narcissism. The author reads Freud in the light of Jean Laplanche’s commentaries, while arranging also deconstructive clashes between his thought and the writings by Gershom Scholem and Walter Benjamin. The author develops first, in a vision of the network of human drives seen as ‘man’s second body’, whose origin is then identified (in a post-secular spirit combining psychoanalytic and theological perspectives) to indicate further the primal seduction-as-revelation which is also responsible for our entrance into the realm of language.Artykuł stanowi próbę wysnucia materialistycznej, lecz nie redukcjonistycznej koncepcji antropologicznej z pism Zygmunta Freuda poświęconych ludzkiej seksualności i narcyzmowi. Pisma te odczytywane są tutaj w świetle komentarzy i reinterpretacji Jeana Laplanche’a, a zarazem modyfikowane poprzez dekonstrukcjonistyczne zderzenie z pracami Gershoma Scholema i Waltera Benjamina. Autor wypracowuje wizję sieci popędowej jako „drugiego ciała” człowieka, by następnie – w duchu postsekularnym, splatając ze sobą myśl psychoanalityczną i teologiczną – wskazać pierwotne uwiedzenie/objawienie jako źrodło zarówno owej powielonej cielesności, jak i językowej natury człowieka
Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
