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
Intersex and the rhetorics of disability and disorder: multiple and provisional significance in sexed, gender and disabled bodies
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from the publisher via the DOI in this record.The impulse to make accounts of human sex, gender, and embodiment “mean” monolithically is inadequate. Engaging with David Kelsey’s theological anthropology, I suggest that a more appropriate means of figuring “marginal” bodies theologically is as multiply and provisionally significant. Such bodies may include disabled, intersex, and otherwise variantly sexed and gendered bodies. Although Kelsey does not engage in depth with questions of sex and gender, his assertion that human identity is grounded eccentrically nonetheless yield fruitfully for developing accounts of intersex, gender, ableness, and personhood. Further, I build on John Zizioulas’ claim that humans’ relationships with the world need not be determined by the laws of biology, and Hans Reinders’ reminder that human being-in-relation is grounded in divine self-giving. Christian overinvestment in binary sex-gender norms occurs because the Church has forgotten that personhood-in-God is primary, and that the bodily forms in which humans live are secondary to primary identity in God.

From a Remote Rural Village in Limpopo’: Colonized Bodies, Hybrid Sex and Postcolonial Theology
Full text linkThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Cambridge Scholarly publishing via the link in this record.Postcolonial theological themes and methodologies are particularly useful for considering issues of indeterminate sex and gender, since they appeal to theological goods which are willing to sit with uncertainty. Drawing on comparisons between Caster Semenya and Saarti/Saartjie/Sara/Sarah Baartman, the “Hottentot Venus”, I show that atypical non-Western bodies are still made subject to discourses of Western classification, and that historical figurings of female bodies as there to be colonized, conquered and tamed chime with theological colonizations of all indeterminately sexed and gendered bodies. Postcolonial theologies might help to disrupt naive certainties surrounding bodies and their sexes, thereby pointing to a theology of hybridity which is less clear and exclusive. Importantly, this also disrupts Western and non-Western sex-gender imperialisms. Discourses of empire are not only those which have arisen in Western contexts, but also those which formulate and disseminate speech of another empire, that of narrow conformity to particular sexed norms. It is appropriate for theologians working in the former metropoles to speak into and critique some non-Western discourses, not untouched by our own colonial past and present, but also not immobilized by it. To reject colonial frameworks of power does not mean to idealize or render immaculate those in non-Western contexts with whom we seek to engage
