Local Theater and Dreg Aesthetic: The Taiwanese Queerness of Tainaner Ensemble’s Belle Reprieve
No full text本文自性別認同、島族政治及裸身抗爭三種面向，分析台南人劇團二○一五年春天戲水《姐夠甜．那吸》一劇的戲劇手法與修辭策略，從劇本結構、角色建構與場面調度著手，聚焦本劇所發展出的「臺式酷異」。藉由結合當代酷異理論、性別議題、後殖民論述及身體美學討論，本文延展「臺式酷異」，提出「渣滓美學」的概念，試圖梳理一套在地酷異主體的抵抗戰術。主體得就各種諧擬、挪用、拼湊、回收等方式抵禦在地父權異性戀體制，並挑戰來自歐美的酷異系譜，最終指向一種高度雜混風格。第一章節援用趙彥寧、克莉絲蒂娃、佛洛伊德、拉岡及賽爾曼論述，分析劇中的性別戲耍；第二章節結合德希達的「延異」理論、史碧娃克的「弱勢論述」以及霍米．巴巴的「雜混」、「擬仿」概念以剖析本劇的情境設定與在地元素；第三章節比較伯格與薩頓的消費凝視論述與佛斯特及馬汀的身體抗爭理論兩種派別，探究劇末裸身表演的酷異性意義。This paper investigates the Tainaner Ensemble’s 2015 production Belle Reprieve, in order to focus on the Taiwanese queerness that is fashioned through its series of theatrical and rhetoric artifices. By weaving together gender issues, postcolonial discourses, and corporeal debates, this paper proposes a critical model of dreg aesthetics that highlights the tactical resistance of local queer subjects. The first section employs Antonio Chao, Kristeva, Freud, Lacan and Silverman to explore the gender play of the characterization. The second section combines Derrida’s notion of Diff?rance with Spivak’s subaltern discourse and Bhabha’s concept of hybridity, underscoring indigenous staging and presention. The last section focuses on the naked performance of the final scene via the lens of Foster and Martin’s arguments regarding body protest in order to tease out the rebellious agency of the performing subjects
Towards A Queer Sensory Writing: The Theatrical Tactics of Skin Touching (2015)
No full text《踏青去》歷經十年，於2015年復刻搬演，無論在戲劇文本、藝術美學、行銷策略及社會批判上，皆銘刻台灣性別議題的繁複推演過程。本文結合現象學、心理學、當代酷兒理論及在地性別議題，聚焦於本劇發展脈絡、敘事結構與劇場手法三種面向，並提出「酷兒感官書寫」的概念。酷兒主體得以藉由拼貼的諧擬、多層次的挪用、高張的視聽感官與流動的慾望投射，擾亂父權異性戀、理體中心主義式的語義邏輯與正典詮釋。本文首先自歷史脈絡扼要耙梳台灣當代酷兒劇場，從中分析《踏青去》自2004年以來之發展脈絡，為之定位；其次詳析本劇編劇策略上的三層性別運作，並援引Slavoj ?i?ek之驅力心理學，以聚焦其梁祝挪用中的酷兒歸返；再則拓展Sara Ahmed之酷兒現象學概念，探究本劇實際演出所形構之感官書寫美學；結論縱觀本劇所指涉之當代性別策略意義，並提示未來可能之探問方向。A decade after its premiere, Skin Touching, a Taiwanese lesbian play, was revived for the stage in 2015. This production, through its dramatic text, theatrical aesthetics, marketing strategies, and social critique, teased out the complex evolution of local gender issues. Working at the intersection of phenomenology, psychology, queer theory, and domestic gender analysis, this paper examines the narration and the staging of Skin Touching, which mobilizes the critical framework of queer sensory writing. The first section articulates the historical context of contemporary queer theater in Taiwan with a special focus on the original development of Skin Touching in 2004; the second section employs ?i?ek's psychoanalytic model to investigate the layered drag operations designed into the theatrical strategy of the script; the third section extends Ahmed's queer phenomenology to underscore the hyper-sensuality of stage presentation
Digital Diaspora and Queer Imaginaries: Lesbian Board, Rainbow Village, and Queerology
No full text當代社會進入數位化階段，網際網絡及社群媒體改寫社會機構與團體的操作模式與運作結構，亦深遠影響小眾社群的建構過程。本文以台灣電子佈告欄批踢踢實業坊拉板、批踢踢兔彩虹山莊及其而後所發展之共筆部落格Queerology為主要研究對象，觀察其不斷飆升之數位性運作模式如何刺激與影響台灣在地女同志社群的認同過程。本文延展穆諾茲、卡戴納斯、凱斯之酷兒論述，結合詹京斯及布朗斯的數位網域理論，並一併爬梳台灣同志運動及酷兒社群之相關討論，佐以網路使用者之訪談報告，期使系譜論述與實體經驗交相指涉映照。藉由聚焦數位網路與酷兒社群的交集區域，本文強調「數位離散」（digital diaspora）的概念，視數位性為當代酷兒社群意識建構過程的重要素材媒介，並指出其中想像模式的私密/公開、能動/收編雙重屬性。As we enter the digital era, the operations of institutions and communities have been reorganized by the Internet and social media. This paper focuses on the construction of minority communities, taking Lesbian Board, Rainbow Village and Queerology as examples that reveal the way in which the digital mobilizes lesbian communities in Taiwan. Combining Munoz’s, Cardenas’ and Case’s queer discourses with Jenkins’ and Bruns’ digital studies, as well as discussions and interviews regarding the history of the Taiwanese gay movement, this paper aims to further develop and localize the concept of digital diaspora. As a digital diasporic community, the lesbian social media discussed have performed two kinds of ambivalent imaginaries in which the community is, at the same time, cloistered and exposed, revolting and incorporated
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
