Series, Singularity, Differential: Mathematics as a Source of Transcendental Empiricism
No full textSe reconstruye el concepto deleuziano de "estructura" a partir de su caracterización matemática como un complejo multi-serial donde diferentes series concurren en torno a una diversidad de puntos singulares, donde series y singularidades se determinan recíprocamente. Todo este juego de determinaciones entre series y singularidades es retrotraído a elementos diferenciales, como los elementos últimos, puramente relacionales, genéticos y positivos, a partir de los cuales el ser de la estructura encuentra la razón suficiente de su génesis y sus transformaciones.Fil: Santaya, Gonzalo.

Deleuze's Hegel: Criticism and praise at the edges of thought
No full textHegelianism reached its peak in France in the middle of the twentieth century, when Kojève and Hyppolite were the dominant personalities of the scene; by contrast, the sixties were characterized by a generalized anti-Hegelianism. In these pages, I will analyze the criticism directed by Gilles Deleuze, one of the protagonists of this reaction against the heritage of the German philosopher, but I will not take a destructive approach. On the contrary, I will show that this moment of criticism leads to the possibility for thinking again with Hegel, and for retrieving the complexity and vitality of his work—against the interpretations that are washed up and dead. Criticisms about Hegel may be found throughout Deleuze’s work, and they are multiple in tone as well as in their perspective: from mockery to technical issues, from explicit to implicit arguments, from generalizations to rigorous and specific takes. My proposal is to organize and select such variety of criticisms in relation to the structure of Hegel’s Science of Logic and addressing: (1) the Doctrine of Being and the false beginning; (2) the Doctrine of Essence and negation as the engine of movement; and (3) the Doctrine of the Concept and the identity toward which all differences are conducted by the circle of return (Rückkehr). These criticisms are linked in an order of increasing complexity that will deepen in the dimensions of Hegelian thought. However, the isolated consideration of these criticisms hides the nature of the problem. Only the syllogistic relation holds the truth of the Hegelian ontology. Being, Essence, and Concept must be conceived in a relational way, and the boundaries of the Science of Logic must be surpassed toward the whole system where Hegelian logic achieves a genetic character, and the Idea enlivens matter endlessly. At this point, both authors seem to enjoy a sudden complicity where Hegel, according to Deleuze, would “maximally approximate the real movement of thought” and become a “thinker of genius.” Nonetheless, it is also the point where Hegel will “maximally betray and distort” such real movement of thought. It is a delicate conceptual equilibrium at the razor’s edge, which only the interpretation may turn toward one side or the other. Interpretation is, after all, the life of a text. There is not, after all “another Hegel than the forces that take him.”...Fil: Ferreyra, Diego Julián. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentina.

Resonances of the Voice of Being: Analogy and Univocity in Deleuze and Kant
No full textThis chapter analyzes the problem of the univocity and equivocity of being in Deleuze by contrasting the Deleuzian account with that of Kant. I will argue that univocity and equivocity are present in both philosophers’ work, albeit in very different ways. Kant’s point of departure is the unity of apperception, and hence, in order to relate it to the multiplicity given in sensibility, he must perform a transubstantiation of unity in the categories. In doing so, he produces a partial equivocity of being—that is, analogy—and thus generates a merely relative unity in objectivity. In this manner, there are, in Kant, two mirrored poles of unity—that of the cogito and that of the object—plus a variety of intermediary forms. Deleuze, on the other hand, avoids all mediations between unity and multiplicity, predicating only one and the same sense of being of all its individuating differences. By skipping all mediations between the extreme poles of unity and multiplicity, the voice of being is directly expressed in each occasion within the process of production of the real, the nature of which is, for Deleuze, that of becoming or differentiation.Fil: Pachilla, Pablo Nicolás.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
