Dark Matter: Jacob Frank and Georges Bataille
No full textJacob Frank and Georges Bataille articulate two of the most radical materialisms in the history of religious and philosophical thought. Their work invites us to reconsider the metaphysical hierarchies that structure Western understandings of spirit and flesh, purity and impurity, law and transgression. More importantly, it suggests that any attempt to think the sacred today must reckon with the dark, excessive, and often destabilising force of matter itself — a force that both Frank and Bataille, each in his own way, refused to domesticate.

Provocations from a Libertine Counter-World: Jacob Frank and/or the Marquis de Sade
Full text linkThe article explores the provocative parallels and decisive divergences between Jacob Frank, the eighteenth‑century Jewish antinomian leader, and the Marquis de Sade, the notorious French libertine. Drawing on Shmuel Feiner’s comparison of Frank as a “Jewish version” of Sade, the essay situates both figures within a broader libertine counter‑world that operated on the margins of European society and sought to scandalize established religious and moral norms

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
