Introduction : the lexicographer and the sovereign
No full textThis dictionary seeks to trace both the philosophical lineages of Agamben’s terms, and their development throughout his oeuvre. In doing so, it aims not to stabilise terms by referring them back to the authority of an origin, but to reveal new possibilities for use deposited and forgotten beneath their currently accepted meanings. This will allow the reader to return to the sources, both the philosophical sources on the basis of which Agamben builds his conceptual edifice, and the places in his work in which a term first appears. This will enable a greater appreciation of the philosophical constellation in which his thought arose, as well an understanding of both the continuities and discontinuities between his thought and that of his philosophical sources
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
