Introduction
No full textThis special issue of E-rea focuses on the non-fictional prose writings of the modernist period. It brings to the fore essays, diaries, articles, letters, reviews, manifestos, short books, and other non-fictional prose texts by a variety of authors, many familiar, some less familiar, orbiting at different distances from the centre of this phenomenon called “modernism,” and whether travelling centripetally, centrifugally, or aslant all responding in different ways to its gravitational pull. Th..
Modernist Non-fictional Narratives and Beyond (e-Rea 15.2, 2018)
No full textA few years ago, I co-edited a first issue of e-Rea on modernist non-fictional prose. It came as the joint and somewhat indirect result of a long-term personal work on Virginia Woolf’s essays as well as a series of crucial academic encounters. While working on Virginia Woolf’s short stories (Reynier 2009), I had come to be interested in the way in which the author theorised the short story genre in her essays; this turned into an article some time later (Reynier 2015) and confirmed in a way ..

Sonja Longolius, Performing Authorship. Strategies of “Becoming an Author” in the Works of Paul Auster, Candice Breitz, Sophie Calle and Jonathan Safran Foer
No full textIn Performing Authorship. Strategies of “Becoming an Author” in the Works of Paul Auster, Candice Breitz, Sophie Calle and Jonathan Safran Foer, Sonja Longolius analyzes how two writers (Auster and Foer) and two performing artists (Calle and Breitz) have not only been producing works but, in the process, have also consciously “become authors” by creating their own authorial personae. In the beginning of her introduction, Longolius quotes a remark taken from one of Auster’s interviews about hi..
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
