The (Non-)Metaphor of Love: On Eileen Chang’s “Lust, Caution”
No full text本文擬以並置理論與文本的揉雜閱讀方式，一方面耙梳拉岡第八講座《傳會》裡所探討的愛情隱喻，亦即愛如何以隱喻的方式結構，以意符的凝縮(condensation)構成；另一方面以張愛玲的短篇小說〈色，戒〉為參照，細究當中呈現的愛情(無)隱喻。第一部分討論拉岡在第八講座提出的愛情理論概念，特別提出愛情作為一種神話、亦為一種隱喻的結構，並且以「祕寶」(agalma)來理解愛的不可能禮物。這些概念的提出，都可放回拉岡整體思想中理解：愛情神話呼應晚期第二十講性公式所論的「性關係不存在」，愛情隱喻裡意符的凝縮效應，也與父親隱喻及主體誕生息息相關，而「祕寶」不僅為分析場景裡傳會產生的關鍵，也是後期理論小對物(objet petit a)的雛形。第二部分將以詳細的文本分析，探討〈色，戒〉中的愛情隱喻，指出戒指既是幻想中愛的祕寶，也是形成愛情隱喻的關鍵。同時，本文指出〈色，戒〉中愛情隱喻的失敗，在於喪失的處女膜無法及時與戒指凝縮成隱喻，因而成為受延宕、未完成的命名，進而點出，張愛玲的書寫一方面遵從著鴛鴦蝴蝶派的風格，書寫愛情隱喻的產生，同時亦是一種鬆動律法、暴露出愛情隱喻永難穩固的書寫。What is Lacan’s concept of metaphor of love addressed in his eighth seminar Transference? In other words, how is love structured as a metaphor via the condensation of signifiers? How does Eileen Chang present the (non-)metaphor of love in the short story “Lust, Caution” (Se, Jie)? The first part addresses that Lacan’s theory of love (in the eighth seminar) encompasses the myth of love, the metaphor of love, and the impossible gift of love, agalma. Viewed within Lacan’s overall theory, the myth of love reverberates with the later proposition that “il n’y a pas de rapport sexual”; the metaphor of love is related to the paternal metaphor and the birth of the subject; and agalma not merely plays a role in transference but serves as a theoretical model for the later objet petit a. Second, a detailed textual analysis of Chang’s “Lust, Caution” reveals the ring as the agalma in fantasy as well as the key to the metaphor of love. Finally, the paper makes the case that the failure of metaphor of love in “Lust, Caution” results from an incomplete and deferred act of naming, that is, the failed substitution of the lost hymen by the ring. Chang’s writing presents a mixed style of yuan yan hu die pai novels (the traditional Chinese popular romance) that revolve around the birth of metaphor of love, as well as a subversive expos? of the non-metaphor of love that undermines Lacan’s theory of metaphor
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
