Paratext
No full textIn her chapter on “Paratext,” Louise Brix Jacobsen examines how fictionality as a rhetorical strategy helps us understand the functioning of specific paratext-text relations. Through various text examples and a case study of the Nat Tate biography hoax (William Boyd, 1998), Jacobsen shows the importance of the movement from classification to functioning and thus from a text-based approach to a communication-based approach. The study shows that paratextual signals can be multiphased or delayed and make the receiver participate in a meaning-creating negotiation where fictionality is ascribed retrospectively in service of global communicative aims. Jacobsen concludes by arguing that future research in fictionality must take into account that fictionality is operative and relevant even though and sometimes particularly when it is not ascribed immediately
Edward Jacobsen Oral History
No full textBiographical information:
Edward Jacobsen was born on July 22, 1922 in Chicago, Illinois. He enrolled in ROTC while at Austin High School in Chicago and at Ripon College in Wisconsin. He served as an infantryman in World War II and participated in the Battle of the Bulge among others. He returned to school after the war, where he attended Ripon College, University of Oklahoma, University of Wisconsin, and University of Chicago. Jacobsen was employed at Winona State University, eventually becoming Director of Libraries and later as Dean of Learning Resources. He retired in 1984 as Dean Emeritus. Jacobsen married his wife Marjorie on December 22, 1943. He died on August 21, 2003.
Transcript Summary:
Edward Jacobsen talked mainly about his experiences during World War II. He described his experience entering the service at Fort McClellan, Alabama for basic infantry training and later for Reserve Officers Training at Fort Benning, Georgia. Jacobsen was later shipped out to Warminster, England in preparation for the D-Day invasion. After D-Day, Jacobsen was assigned to D Company, 320th Infantry, 35th Infantry Division, of the 3rd Army led by George Patton. Jacobsen articulated his thoughts about Patton and British general Bernard Montgomery as commanders, as well as some of the weapons he used in combat. Jacobsen fought during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 around Bastogne and the “Rose Pocket” in the Ruhr. Jacobsen talked about his experiences with casualties, German POWs, and fighting a SS division at the Battle of the Bulge. He also discussed unit reunions that were held some years later, traveling back to England after the war and his time in the reserves.

Variations on the Author
No full text“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

The Posterior Sustained Negativity Revisited—An SPN Reanalysis of Jacobsen and Höfel (2003)
No full textSymmetry is an important cue for the aesthetic judgment of beauty. Using a binary forced-choice format in a cued mixed design, Jacobsen and Höfel (2003) compared aesthetic judgments of beauty and symmetry judgments of novel graphic patterns. A late posterior sustained negativity elicited by symmetric patterns was observed in the symmetry judgment condition, but not in the beauty judgement condition. Therefore, this negativity appeared to be mainly driven by the task.In a series of studies, Bertamini, Makin, and colleagues observed a comparable sustained posterior negativity (SPN) to symmetric stimuli, mainly taken to reflect obligatory symmetry processing independent of task requirements. We reanalyzed the data by Jacobsen and Höfel (2003) using similar parameters for data analysis as Bertamini, Makin, and colleagues to examine these apparent differences. The reanalysis confirmed both a task-driven effect on the posterior sustained negativity/SPN to symmetric patterns in the symmetry judgment condition and a strong symmetry-driven SPN to symmetric patterns. Differences between the references used for analyses of the electroencephalogram (EEG) had an effect. Based on the reanalysis, the Jacobsen and Höfel (2003) data also fit well with Bertamini’s, Makin’s, and colleagues’ account of obligatory symmetry processing.</jats:p
