Becoming beauty : the implications of the writings of Luce Irigaray for feminist art practices
No full textThis thesis aims to identify aspects of Luce Irigaray's work which are of significance for feminist discourses of art, including art practices and critical analyses of art works by women. Her writings have been analyzed and employed in academic fields, such as Literature, Philosophy, and Theology, but rarely to date from
within art history, criticism or theory. This thesis establishes the wide-ranging implications of her work for these disciplines.
The thesis is in two parts. Part 1 outlines Luce Irigaray's analyses of phallocentrism's representational structures, and her arguments for developing representational structures appropriate for women. It aims to outline Luce Irigaray's philosophy of sexual difference in so far as it impacts upon the production of meaning in the realm of
the visual, and visual aesthetics. The first two chapters focus upon mimetic practices, including mimesis, masquerade and hysteria. They identify the maintenance mimesis in phallocentrism, and the productive mimesis which develops structures of resistance. Chapters 3 and 4 attend to Luce Irigaray's analyses of the visual, including phallocentric structures of sight and visible representation. The possibility of a syntax in the Symbolic appropriate to women is explored. Building upon this, Part 2 engages moments of contemporary art practice by women with further aspects of Luce Irigaray's thinking. Her concept of morphology is explored in relation to work by Laura
Godfrey-Isaacs, Jenny Saville, Bridget Reilly and Rachel Whiteread, in order to establish possible mediative function of art works. Luce Irigaray's understandings of gesture are read in conjunction with work by Louise Bourgeois. Finally, Luce Irigaray's arguments about
women's genealogies, and concepts of the divine, the universal, and the transcendental appropriate to women, are tested against the representation, `woman', in Irish visual culture, and moments of resistance in works by Irish artists
Rita Duffy, Louise Walsh, Pauline Cummins, and Fran Hegarty.
The thesis concludes that, through careful attention to the
structures and use of terminology developed by her, it is possible to identify areas where Luce Irigaray's work can be productively juxtaposed with and interrogated by current feminist theories of art in order to develop those practices, increase the legibility of art works by women, and provide spaces of discourse in which artists can work in the future

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Bunn, S.J., discusses the arrival and work of Jesuits in Maryland in the 17th century and the beginnings of Catholic education in the United States in his opening address: "Some historian have seen in these abortive attempts the foundations of Georgetown. I think these are the loving exaggerations of loyalty. . . Yet . . . it is undeniable that these pioneers contributed to the later foundation of Georgetown." He then introduces the three honorary degree awardees: U.S. Ambassador to Italy Clare Booth Luce; Dr. Thomas J. Tudor; and Chemistry Professor Michael X. Sullivan. President Bunn's remarks are followed by the reading of the University Charter, the award of vicennial medals for twenty years of service to the University, the presentation of students (including Leo J. O'Donovan and Antonin Scalia) who have merited academic honors, and the reading of the honorary degree citations in both Latin and English
