Gertrude Stein: Woman Without Qualities
No full textThe book offers a composite portrait of Gertrude Stein at the junction of textual, visual, and theoretical realms. Examining Stein's career as a progress toward the podium, the study covers Stein’s appropriation of European modernity, her access to language, culture, and writing, and assesses her achievement in American letters. Discussion dwells on the influence on Stein's writing of her understanding of identity as thoroughly immersed in history, the body, geographical location, and interpersonal and power relations, and it shows that, perhaps to a greater extent than that of her modernist colleagues, Stein's work bridges the distance between art and life, inviting a productive questioning of the dynamics of reading and reception

Introduction: The Sense of an Equality of Things
No full textThe article discusses the haptic strain in critical and theoretical-critical thought. Relying on the work of Walter Benjamin and Jean-Luc Nancy, and responding to scholars like Valentine Cunningham who are hostile to the theoretical developments in literary criticism in the past decades, the article shows that, far from being marginal to theories of meaning, touch has largely
determined them. This is particularly the case of theories that foreground materiality and the body. In fact, I argue that realization that interpretive acts are propelled by the mutual contact of thought and the body pervades contemporary critical thinking. The article functions as the introduction to the volume The Hand of The Interpreter, and is divided into 4 main sections: The Rise of the Haptic, After Theory, The Enigma of the Neighbour, with only the last section, "The Essays in This Collection," devoted to introducing the specific contributions to the volume
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
