Indexing the multiple: An Autobiographic account of education through the lens of Deleuze & Guattari
No full textThis writing theorizes autobiographic experiences of relief teaching in inner city schools in the UK. Using the approach of Deleuze & Guattari prioritizes the qualitatively multiple aspects of experience and an analysis of the corresponding power relationships that are uncovered in the differentiation of events. Deleuze took on board the arguments of Bergson (1975) to develop his notion of the qualitative unconscious and this construction had the aim of showing how the results of rational reflection may be synthesized and applied in creative representation to expand empirical inquiry to include the imaginary. Essential to this philosophical move is the statement that the place where the index maps of the multiple come from alters their alignment and comprehension and this demonstrates the type of perpsectivism that Deleuze & Guattari have derived from Nietzsche (1956, 1961, 1968) and that has been included in feminist educational research paradigms (St. Pierre & Pillow, 2000)
MLT as a minor poststructuralism of education
No full textWhen one approaches contemporary literacy studies one might feel like Kafka tackling the bureaucratic structures of 20th century European civilization. Where should one start? How can one make sense of governmental interference in literacy and societal concerns that are manipulated by politicians in order to get more votes? This chapter proposes a synthesis of the mode of poststructuralism put forward by Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari (1986) in their Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature, so that it is applicable to the qualitative analysis of educational data contained in MLT (Multiple Literacies Theory). This approach to using Deleuze & Guattaris method for literary analysis links power with language and action. The language of teachers and students in the many folds of the educational system of liberal democracies, gives insights into the structures and the relationships that they are speaking about. These perceptions are manifold, and they may be described with reference to the desires and fears of the occupants of the system and a minor poststructural philosophy
Deleuzian affective literacy for teaching literature: A literary perspective on multiple literacies theory
No full textThis chapter will position Deleuzian affective literacy, which is a strategic intensification of the definition above, and connected to Multiple Literacies Theory (MLT) through the investigation of subjectification in linguistic desire (Masny, 2005; 2006). Deleuzian affective literacy is also a practical strategy for teaching literature
Introduction to Multiple Literacies Theory: A Deleuzian Perspective
Full text linkThis book comes at a time when literacy has perhaps been overly researched and theorized around the world. Governments are especially interested in investigating and collecting data about how their citizens become literate. One might legitimately ask the question: Why do we need more research and theory about literacy? The short answer to this question is that we do not need more information about the processes of literacy. What we do need is work that combines data with a theoretical frame that makes sense of the diverse literacy practices and complex demographics of populations through which literacy is now apparent. In poststructural terms, it could be said that literacy research is an area of `overcoding (Webb, 2009). This means that the balance between signification and the content of the signification is out of phase. For example, the enormous attention that has been given to reading comprehension in educational research is incongruous with the role that reading comprehension plays in the educational process. Reading comprehension has been over-coded by outside bodies solely interested in the results of reading comprehension, i.e., literacy tests. This volume addresses this situation by going outside of the norm, and proposing a new way of conceptualizing literacy, Multiple Literacies Theory (Masny, 2006), combined with data to solidify this view

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
