Im Prosalabor von Clemens J. Setz
No full textDer österreichische Autor Clemens J. Setz erregte bereits in relativ jungen Jahren die Aufmerksamkeit der literarischen Welt. Ab seinem 26. Lebensjahr wurden ihm bedeutende literarische Auszeichnungen verliehen. Seine Bücher zeichnen sich durch einen experimentellen Zugang zur narrativen Struktur aus, indem er beim Schreiben technische Möglichkeiten der Neuen Medien verwendet, kanonisierte Texte umschreibt und durch tiefe Einblicke in das Innere seiner Figuren Tabus bricht. In seinen Prosawerken gelingt es ihm, die dringlichsten Probleme von Individuum und Gesellschaft zu benennen. Die Schicksale und Einstellungen seiner ProtagonistInnen wirken kontrovers, weshalb sein literarisches Schaffen ambivalent rezipiert wird.The Austrian author Clemens J. Setz attracted the attention of the literary world at a relatively young age. Beginning at age twenty-six, he has been crowned with significant literary awards. His books are characterized by an experimental approach towards the narrative structure of text. In his works, Setz uses the technical possibilities of new media, rewrites canonized texts and breaks taboos in providing deep insights into his characters. In his prose, he identifies the most pressing problems of both individuals and society. The fates and attitudes of his protagonists appear controversial which has led to an ambivalent reception of his literary work
Clemens J. Setz on Bursting the Reader’s Reality Bubble
No full textIn our article, we explore implications that the indistinguishability of factuality and fictionality in literary works may have on an author’s credibility and their role as an authoritative figure. We do this by looking at one question and one answer in the fictional author interview in Bot – Gespräch ohne Autor (2018) by the Austrian author Clemens J. Setz. Currently, Setz is one of the most distinguished writers in the German-speaking literary scene, known for his versatile literary work and authorial staging practices. Bot plays with the public perception of the author persona Setz and stages an imitation game, also known as the Turing Test. Thus, it affects the perception of truth claims traditionally expected in author interviews. To illustrate, we refer to theoretical approaches to forms and functions of author interviews concerning authorship in the context of the so-called culture of presence and show how Bot reveals a playful reflection on the possibilities, limits, and dangers embedded in the perceived truthfulness within the framework of fiction and authorship, particularly in Setz’s. </p
Uno spazio alogico di reintricazione genetica. Note su un elemento del metodo di Giorgio Agamben
No full textIn this chapter, I will discuss Agamben's work through an analysis of one of his recurrent techniques: the genealogical interlacing of apparently antithetical concepts. I will examine this technique of Agamben's in some detail, with particular reference to what it enables him to adopt from and reshape in the work of Michel Foucault. In doing so, I give some justifications for Agamben's procedure in quite abstract philosophical terms, before showing how the challenges it raises are anything but abstract. I further show how this technique functions as a kind of motor for Agamben's work, driving him to extend and revisit his own theses on biopolitics. I conclude with a remark on its recent redeployment in The Kingdom and the glory, where it enables a further rearticulation of familiar political oppositions, such as those between thought and action, power and glory, and repressive and ideological state apparatuses. Finally, I suggest that it is this intellectual operation of Agamben's that gives us an orientation towards the challenges of radical politics today, as well as itself being a mode of pursuing such a politics
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
The artificial intelligence in literary creation. Reflections on Clemens J. Setz’s Bot. Gespräch ohne Autor
No full textDas längst avisierte Zukunftsprojekt Industrie 4.0 wirkt sich auf viele Bereiche der menschlichen Produktion, wie u. a. des literarischen Schaffens aus. 2018 ist das Buch Bot. Gespräch ohne Autor des österreichischen Schriftstellers Clemens J. Setz erschienen, das eine Alternative zu einem von der ‚natürlichen‘ Person geschaffenen literarischen Werk darstellt. Analog zu der Industrie wird jetzt der Vorgang des literarischen Schaffens digitalisiert, d. h. eine künstliche Intelligenz schreibt ein Buch oder wirkt an ihm mit. Das Werk wird gedruckt, verkauft und gelesen und steht in Bücherregalen neben Büchern von ‚natürlichen‘ Autoren. Wie beeinflusst die Einbeziehung der künstlichen Intelligenz die Kanonbildung? Wer wären dann die Leser/innen solcher literarischen Werke? Werden in diesen Werken auch einige früher kanonisierte Werke berücksichtigt? Ist es überhaupt möglich, dass künstliche Intelligenz ein ästhetisch wertvolles literarisches Werk hervorbringt? Mit solchen und weiteren Fragen über die literarischen Begegnungen der künstlichen und menschlichen Intelligenz in der 4.0-Ära befasst sich der vorliegende Artikel.The long-awaited ‘Industry 4.0’ project affects many areas of human production, including literary creation. 2018 saw the publication of the book Bot. Gespräch ohne Autor by the Austrian writer Clemens J. Setz, as an alternative to a literary work created by a ‘natural’ person. Analogous to industry, the very process of literary creation is now being digitized; that means that artificial intelligence writes or at least contributes to the writing of a book. The work is printed and stands on bookshelves next to books by ‘natural’ authors, after which it is sold and read. How does the inclusion of artificial intelligence affect canon formation? Who would then be the relevant addressee of such literary works? Are some earlier canonized works also included? Is it even possible for artificial intelligence to create an aesthetically valuable literary work? This article deals with these and other questions about the literary encounters between artificial and human intelligence in the 4.0 era
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
