Canopy of the upturned eye: writing on Derrida’s Crypt
No full textThe evocation of a spatial sheltering in this title hints at a covering over death. Indeed, a canopy is productive of fertile vegetation for a continued nurturing of living after death. However, this paper aims at a threshold beyond an economy of re-appropriation or return, as in the successful mourning of Derrida after Freud, in order to produce a breakage {bris} and debris that forever complicates notions of before and after. As the conference thematic alludes, a disjunctive moment rests in the after (of Derrida in Freud), which now complicates a temporality of return. Hence, this paper attempts the unconditional and deconstructive return (without reserve and beyond a restricted economy) to Freud’s work on mourning as a radical opening onto spatial interiority and exteriority. Through a close (clôtural) reading of Derrida’s text Fors proximity of textual doubling across psychoanalysis and deconstruction here aims to perform a stylistic body as writings ethical moment. Fors is a text that activates a cryptic encounter with psychoanalytic mourning for an ethically otherwise thinking to notions of fixed (inter)subjective interiority and exteriority. The complication here in encountering the stylistic play of Derrida’s textuality as a going beyond Derrida’s thesis, is to inaugurate Fors as a cryptic body whose secreted openings open onto the question of sexual difference. Whilst, many of Derrida’s texts explicitly deal with the thematic of sexual difference, Fors is not one among them. What then are the implications for doubling Derrida’s reading, whereby the question of death and mourning open more precisely onto an ethics of sexual difference? In his text, Derrida dislocates psychoanalytic successful mourning as introjection (a love for the other in me), through reading incorporation (keeping the other as a foreign body within my own body) as potentially the more ethical strategy for mourning. Derrida seeks to dismantle the “tyranny” of this binary, suggesting another reading whereby incorporation could in fact lead onto a more respectful position maintaining the other’s alterity. What is maintained is a difference and heterogeneity. Whilst Derrida’s ongoing engagements with psychoanalysis occurs across a series of texts, in Fors he approaches directly the literary-mytho-poetic psychoanalysis of Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok in order to deconstruct the works of mourning and memory, as the narrative of what never happened. Sexual difference is least named here, though for this reason, in its withdrawal, it is most named. This central pivot of the paper, precisely through the workings of the crypt, builds its thetic call on disseminating moments without reserve. From its buried partitions, it constitutes the cipher and pledge that stakes the strategic bets for an otherwise saying of sexual difference
Amelia Jones Roundtable: live art, durationality, and the meaning of encounter
No full textThe Aestheticisation of the Everyday in the in-between of being and becoming art. The meaning of encounter is at the level of the everyday in relation to a reframing of being attentive in relation to duration (of the everyday), and the implications here for aesthetics, or the work of art. Blanchot’s Everyday: According to Blanchot’s notion of the everyday “The everyday escapes. This is its definition. We cannot help but miss it if we seek it through knowledge, for it belongs to a region where there is still nothing to know, just as it is prior to all relation insofar as it has always already been said, even while remaining unformulated, that is to say, not yet information.” (“Everyday Speech” (1959)). Blanchot’s everyday takes us back to existence, to what is most important, to spontaneity as it is lived. (the not ‘knowing’, beyond gender/genre — beyond categorisation). Blanchot insists that in the everyday the individual is in a state of “human anonymity”, held in its movement without knowing it: “we have no name, little personal reality, scarcely a face, just as we have no social determination to sustain or enclose us.” (Everyday speech)
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
