After Derrida before Husserl : the spacing between phenomenology and deconstruction
Get PDFThis Ph.D. thesis is, in large part, a deepening of my M. A. dissertation, entitled: "Différance
Beyond Phenomenological Reduction (Epoché)?" - an edited version of which was published in
The Warwick Journal of Philosophy, Vol. 2, Issue 2, 1989. The M. A. dissertation explores the
development of the various phases of the movement of epoché in Edmund Husserl's
phenomenology and its relevance for Jacques Derrida's project of deconstruction. The analyses not
only attend to the need for an effective propaedeutic to an understanding of phenomenology as
method, they also serve to demystify the logics of Derridean non-teleological strategy by explaining
the sense of such a manoeuvre - as a kind of maieutic response to the Husserlian project - which
operates within the horizon of a radical epoché. According to this orientation, Derrida's
deconstruction of phenomenology is permitted to open itself up to a phenomenology of
deconstruction.
This doctoral thesis develops these analyses and utilizes a form of critique that points the
way to the possibility of a phenomenological-deconstruction of the limits of Derrida's project of
deconstruction through the themes of epoché, play, dialogue, spacing, and temporalization. In order
to trace the resources from which he draws throughout the early development of deconstruction, this
study confines itself to a discussion on the texts published between 1962 and 1968. This subjection
of deconstruction to a historical de-sedimentation of its motivational, methodological, theoretical,
and strategic moments, involves a certain kind of transformational return to the spacing between
phenomenology and deconstruction that urgently puts into question the alleged supercession of
phenomenology by deconstruction.
The expression of such a 'beyond' is already deeply sedimented in contemporary
deconstructive writing to the point at which it is now rarely even noticed, let alone thematized and
brought into question. This conviction (regarding the transgression of phenomenology by
deconstruction) traces itself out in the form of an attitude to reading which is, in fact and in
principle, counter to D6rrida's own call for care. The meaning and limits of the very terms,
transgression, beyond, supercession, etc., must be continually subjected to deconstruction.
The notions of play, dissemination and supplementarity - with the concomitant sense of
transformational repetition that defines them - do not function as a mere excuse for lack of
scholarly rigour. Deconstruction is a movement of critical return, which must insert itself (with a
sense of irony) within the margins and intersections of that which gives itself up to this practice of
textual unbuilding. The strategy of play encourages the structural matrix of that with which it is
engaged to turn in upon itself, exposing its limits and fissures in a kind of textual analogue to a
psychoanalysis. To be sure, this does involve a certain kind of violence -a violation of the
( system's' own sense of propriety (what is proper [propre] and closest to itself) -but in no sense is
this an anarchical celebration of pure destruction. We speak rather of irony, parody, satire,
metaphor, double-reading and other tactical devices, which permit a reorganization of the
deconstructed's (textual analysand's) self-relation and the possibility of playful speculation. Such
play demands care and vigilance in regard to the appropriation of the logics of the system with
which it is in a relation of negotiation. In order to play well, one must learn the game-rules
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
