Full text linkThe aim of this thesis is to investigate the social and cultural significance of butoh dance beyond its original context of postwar Japan.In order to do so, the thesis explores ideas, practices and experiences of butoh dancing among contemporary–Japanese as well as non-Japanese –practitioners: primarily the Oxford-based butoh dance company Café Reason, which constituted the main case study for the research.
The ethnographic particularities of butoh, as defined by its practitioners, provided the core of the investigation.That is, a common notion among teachers and students of this dance form is that butoh has no conclusive form or style.They also say that butoh is defined by its very defying of definitions.Thus, the central question that runs through the thesis is: ‘How does butoh, a dance that resists codification and classification, continue to be practised and reinvented?’
The central hypothesis of the thesis is that the core of butoh lies in its perceptual, rather than its formal, constitution and articulation.In order to test this hypothesis I engaged an unorthodox methodology that, by explicitly mobilizing sensory engagement in the processes of training and performing butoh, brought my own experience to the centre-stage of the analysis.In turn, the methodological focus on the senses unveiled the sophisticated aesthetic dimensions of butoh dancing, especially its reliance on tactile-kinesthetic perception.
Based on these methodological premises, a review of butoh training and performances allowed an approach to the semantic and perceptual ‘indeterminacy’ of the butoh body. The latter is typically associated with unintelligible levels of experience: in the form of either intense, and often ‘anti-social,’ emotional states, or augmented, near-religious, states of awareness. These findings led me to identify ‘emotion’ and ‘otherness’ as the core
experiential dimensions of butoh dancing, which, in turn, explains its continuity and significance as an art form.
Ultimately, butoh’s synthesis of ‘art’ and ‘spirituality,’ or of ‘dance’ and ‘therapy,’ allows the analysis to situate this cultural phenomenon in a continuum between ritual and aesthetic performance, with different butoh dancers placing themselves at different positions within this spectrum

No full textIn dimension n isolated singularities-at a finite point or at infinity-for solutions of finite total mass to the n-Liouville equation are of logarithmic type. As a consequence, we simplify the classification argument in Esposito (Anal Non Lineaire 35(3):781-801, 2018) and establish a quantization result for entire solutions of the singular n-Liouville equation

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
