Rinse, Repeat : Paratextual Poetics of Literary Twitter Collage Retweeted
No full textThis essay studies what happens to the poetics of a text that was first written on or for a certain internet platform when it is later copy-pasted to a different literary medium – that of an edited and printed book. The main target of the discussion is Finnish author Karri Kokko’s conceptual literary work Retweeted (2016), a print-on-demand book, the roots of which are firmly in both the traditions of print media and the digital interfaces of the social media platform Twitter. The analysis pays close attention to the medial qualities of both Twitter and the conceptual novel that draws material from it. The essay aims to highlight the poetic qualities of the material produced and circulated on Twitter, the affectivity of the platform itself, and the effects the transposition into the codex format has on these phenomena. The essay argues that when investigating the poetics of internet-based collages, and social media platforms more generally, one must be mindful of 1) the logics of writing and revenue on internet platforms, and 2) the paratextuality of both the original online platforms and the book at hand.peerReviewe

Operatiivinen vainoharha normaalitieteen aikakaudella: Jaakko Yli-Juonikkaan Neuromaanin kokeellinen poetiikka
No full textThis publication-based doctoral dissertation in literary criticism investigates the experimental poetics of the novel Neuromaani (2012) by Jaakko Yli-Juonikas. This study maps out and contextualizes the poetics of Neuromaani. I define poetics as the creative principles, conventions, and/or techniques informing a literary work as well as their study. Experimental literature is committed to raising fundamental questions about literature and its own literariness. The research questions of my study are: What is the poetics of Neuromaani like? How is it constructed? How does it work? My research material comprises the novel itself and the supplements to it that were published separately in literary magazines. Included in the discussion are also reviews of the novel and a dance performance inspired by it. The study is positioned in the framework of French theory and the new materialist approach informed and influenced by it. I scrutinize Neuromaani as a literary machine – a term coined by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari – that produces assemblages and operates through the actual and the virtual as well as repetition and affects. I also apply Gérard Genette’s theory of transtextuality, taking into account the ways it has been developed further in the field of narratology. I use theoretically and conceptually contextualizing close reading as the method of my analysis. The study consists of five articles and an introductory chapter. In each article, I focus on a different element of the novel’s poetics: the excessiveness, the materiality, the schizophrenic language and structure, the usage of found material and collage techniques, and the novel’s relation to semiocapitalism. I argue that all these viewpoints are essential to understanding the experimental poetics of Neuromaani. I introduce the concept of “excess novel” using Neuromaani as a paradigmatic example. An excess novel forms its affective relation with the reader and with other extratextual elements through its excessive poetics. I show how the different transtextual relations actualize as affective relations. I argue that the poetics of Neuromaani is experimental in that it revises and reshapes literary expression by experimenting with repetition, opens up the novel’s internal excess towards its exterior, and challenges readers and critics to re-evaluate their position in relation to the assemblage of the novel.unknown accessibilityei tietoa saavutettavuudest
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
