Elliott, Kamilla. Adaptation Theory and Adaptation Scholarship. Edited by Thomas Leitch. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199331000.013.39.
Full textAbstract:
Adaptation studies and adaptation scholars have persistently been faulted for theoretical failure. Developing the argument that this critique is the fallout of a dysfunctional relationship between adaptation and theorization in the humanities, this essay examines particular problems that have arisen in adaptation scholarship as a result of adaptation’s and theorization’s impasses: tensions between theoretical nostalgia and theoretical progressivism, theoretical sprawl, failures in citation, mythological field histories, and transtheoretical field myths, most notably the claim that adaptation studies has been primarily concerned with fidelity of adapting to adapted work. This is untrue. The essay concludes that scholars instead attend to and critique our attempts to force adaptations to be faithful to theories that all too often obscure, neglect, and abuse adaptation.

Ran, Hirschl. 1 The View from the Bench: Where the Comparative Judicial Imagination Travels. Oxford University Press, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198714514.003.0002.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores how constitutional courts and judges conceive of comparative constitutional law, what methods they use to engage with it, and how and why they vary in their approach. The chapter surveys the changing patterns of voluntary judicial reference to foreign sources and the explanations for these. It addresses the decrease in reference to the UK and US apex courts and the rise in stature of other courts. Patterns of foreign citations by the Supreme Courts of Canada, India, and especially Israel are examined. The chapter develops the argument that the sociopolitical context within which constitutional courts and judges operate affects whether and where the judicial mind travels in its search for citation of foreign sources. It shows that the “identity” dimension—the attempt to define who “we” are as a political community—inevitably influences comparative jurisprudence and acts as a key factor explaining judicial choices of reference sources.

Full textAbstract:
Policy makers, academic administrators, scholars, and members of the public are clamoring for indicators of the value and reach of research. The question of how to quantify the impact and importance of research and scholarly output, from the publication of books and journal articles to the indexing of citations and tweets, is a critical one in predicting innovation, and in deciding what sorts of research is supported and whom is hired to carry it out. There is a wide set of data and tools available for measuring research, but they are often used in crude ways, and each have their own limitations and internal logics. Measuring Research: What Everyone Needs to Know® will provide, for the first time, an accessible account of the methods used to gather and analyze data on research output and impact. Following a brief history of scholarly communication and its measurement — from traditional peer review to crowdsourced review on the social web — the book will look at the classification of knowledge and academic disciplines, the differences between citations and references, the role of peer review, national research evaluation exercises, the tools used to measure research, the many different types of measurement indicators, and how to measure interdisciplinarity. The book also addresses emerging issues within scholarly communication, including whether or not measurement promotes a "publish or perish" culture, fraud in research, or "citation cartels." It will also look at the stakeholders behind these analytical tools, the adverse effects of these quantifications, and the future of research measurement.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter is devoted to a piece by Olivia Granville, Le Cabaret discrépant, created in 2011. This piece interrogates and reenacts a largely forgotten moment in the history of the choreographic avant-gardes: the choreographic initiatives of the Lettrist Group (in the first place of its founder Isidore Isou, but also of his disciple Maurice Lemaître) in the 1950s and 1960s. After exposing the main ideas of the Lettrist theory of dance and choreographic history, the chapter analyzes the structure and the meaning of the piece by Granville. It emphasizes the specific use of citation and the powers of literality in order to present a nonlinear and nonteleological vision of art history.

Saussy, Haun. Translation as Citation. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198812531.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Translation as Citation denies that translating amounts to the composition, in one language, of statements equivalent to statements previously made in another. Rather, translation works with elements of the language and culture in which it arrives, often reconfiguring them irreversibly: it creates, with a fine disregard for precedent, loan words, calques, forced metaphors, forged pasts, imaginary relationships, and dialogues of the dead. Creativity, in this form of writing usually considered merely reproductive, is the subject of this book. When the first proponents of Buddhism arrived in China, creativity was forced upon them: a vocabulary adequate to their purpose had yet to be invented. A Chinese Buddhist textual corpus took shape over centuries despite the near-absence of bilingual speakers. One basis of this translating activity was the rewriting of existing Chinese philosophical texts, and especially the most exorbitant of all these, the collection of dialogues, fables, and paradoxes known as the Zhuangzi. The Zhuangzi also furnished a linguistic basis for Chinese Christianity when the Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci, arriving in the later part of the Ming dynasty, allowed his friends and associates to frame his teachings in the language of early Daoism. It would function as well when Xu Zhimo translated from The Flowers of Evil in the 1920s. The chance but overdetermined encounter of Zhuangzi and Baudelaire yielded a “strange music” that retroactively echoes through two millennia of Chinese translation, outlining a new understanding of the translator’s craft that cuts across the dividing lines of current theories and critiques of translation.

Perry, Seth. Bible Culture and Authority in the Early United States. Princeton University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.23943/princeton/9780691179131.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book is a wide-ranging exploration of the place of the Christian Bible in America in the decades after the Revolution. Attending to both theoretical concerns about the nature of scriptures and to the precise historical circumstances of a formative period in American history, the book argues that the Bible was not a “source” of authority in early America, as is often said, but rather a site of authority: a cultural space for editors, commentators, publishers, preachers, and readers to cultivate authoritative relationships. While paying careful attention to early national bibles as material objects, the book shows that “the Bible” is both a text and a set of relationships sustained by a universe of cultural practices and assumptions. Moreover, it demonstrates that bible culture underwent rapid and fundamental changes in the early nineteenth century as a result of developments in technology, politics, and religious life. At the heart of the book are typical bible readers, otherwise unknown today, and better-known figures such as Zilpha Elaw, Joseph Smith, Denmark Vesey, and Ellen White, a group that includes men and women, enslaved and free, Baptists, Catholics, Episcopalians, Methodists, Mormons, Presbyterians, and Quakers. What they shared were practices of biblical citation in writing, speech, and the performance of their daily lives. While such citation contributed to the authority of the Bible, it also meant that the meaning of the Bible constantly evolved as Americans applied it to new circumstances and identities.

O'Hara, Alexander. Jonas and Biblical Stylization. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190858001.003.0006.
Full textAbstract:
Biblical stylization is so implicit in hagiographical works that there is the danger that we might overlook its influence without considering how hagiographers used the Bible to communicate and emphasize their ideas. Jonas of Bobbio’s use of the Bible as an implicit source of stylization in his depictions of Brunhild as a second Jezebel or Columbanus as Elijah reveals the influence that the Old Testament (especially the Book of Kings) exerted on Jonas’s character representation. The chapter explores in detail this implicit biblical stylization and the ways in which Jonas sought to emphasize his ideas through biblical citations and allusions.

This chapter discusses how performance is measured in science, such as through the role of citation metrics. Next, the chapter discusses the pros and cons of bibliometric indexes, and of ‘impact factor’, which was introduced by Eugene Garfield in 1955 but not widely used until twenty years later. The various ways that journals attempt to improve their impact factors, and how this will affect science, are also examined. Besides impact factor, the role played by indicators in evaluating scientists, such as the recently introduced h-index, is explored. Finally, fashions and trends in science are touched upon, illustrated with personal anecdotes from the author.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter traces the evolution of the ideational research agenda in historical institutionalism. The relationship between ideas as an analytical concept and historical institutionalism as a body of work has varied over time. While there was an opening to ideas in historical institutionalism in the mid- to late 1990s, less attention was paid to ideas as core analytic variables in the decades that followed. The chapter points to the materialist ontology employed by the majority of historical institutionalist scholars, their engagement with rational choice scholars, and the work of ideational scholars themselves as the major sources behind an ‘unconscious uncoupling’ between ideationalists and materialists within historical institutionalism. Following a network analysis of citation patterns, the chapter suggests that a ‘conscious re-coupling’ of ideational and institutional research agendas holds great promise for future historical institutional work.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines Michel Crozier’sThe Bureaucratic Phenomenon, an in-depth study of public administration in France in which he challenged the view that overemphasizes the formal and rational organizational structure of bureaucracy. Crozier developed a relational theory of power and a systematic program that explored bureaucracy as an “organizational system.” The chapter considers the ways in whichThe Bureaucratic Phenomenonrepresents a classic in public policy and administration and other disciplines such as sociology, organization theory, and political science. It also discusses the evolution of citations from the first half of the 1980s andThe Bureaucratic Phenomenon’s increasing prominence in research in the fields of organization and management studies. Finally, it analyzes Crozier’s intellectual background, his central arguments inThe Bureaucratic Phenomenon, and the book’s contribution to contemporary research on bureaucracy.

Full textAbstract:
International law textbooks, casebooks and manuals are important to study as they help to reveal how international law is understood, found, and interpreted by the current generation of international lawyers in a particular state and how this conventional wisdom is passed on to the next generation. These books play a significant socializing role in shaping international lawyers’ knowledge of which issues are core, which sources are important, which debates are controversial, which norms are settled, and who and what the leading authorities are. This chapter compares the books that are used to teach international law in the five permanent members of the Security Council. Using case studies (e.g., humanitarian intervention and state sovereignty) and visual representations (e.g., citation patterns of case law), this chapter sheds light on how nationalized, denationalized, and westernized the books from these states are in terms of their substance, sources, and approaches.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses Greek literature’s influence on the Gospels and Acts by exploring quotations of and allusions to Aratus and Euripides in Luke-Acts, and Homer in Mark. In particular, it considers the citation of Aratus’Phaenomenain Paul’s Areopagus Discourse (Acts 17:22–31), of Euripides’s Bacchae in Acts 26:14, and a number of Luke’s more oblique literary engagements with those two works. It also analyzes the subtle allusion to theOdyssey’sEurycleia episode (19.353–507) in Mark 14:3–9, situating all these representative examples of New Testament narrative’s intertextual engagement with pagan Greek literature in a Greco-Roman rhetorical context with reference to ancient illustrations and discussions of literary influence and adaptation from Virgil (vis-à-vis Homer), Theon, Quintilian, Pliny, and Seneca.

Millie, Julian. The Public Metaculture of Islamic Preaching. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190652807.003.0012.
Full textAbstract:
The chapter concerns the public culture of Islam in Indonesia. Drawing on field experience in West Java, it observes that Islamic oratory invariably includes repetitive and solemn elements, especially the citation and translation of Qur’an and Hadith. Yet preachers also rely on their abilities to move listeners with skillful multivocality, drawing on many genres and ways of speaking within listeners’ competency, not just religious ones. When speaking and writing normatively about oratory, however, Indonesians construct a monologic image that characterizes preaching as the circulation of religious knowledge, ignoring or even proscribing the multivocality and generic variation that ensures the continuation of that circulation. This chapter analyses the clash between preaching’s multivocal performances and its monologic metaculture against the background of public reverence for Islam, which disallows overt recognition of preaching skill. The monologic construction of preaching sustains the public aspiration that Islam be maintained as a sphere separated from worldly matters.

Full textAbstract:
This volume is the first published study to bring together a variety of materials which represent the life and works of Sir Granville Bantock (1868-1946), British composer, arranger, editor, music department administrator, competitive singing promoter and adjudicator, world traveler, lover of life, literature and philosophy, radio talk presenter, champion of works of other rising British composers over his own, husband and father. His works alone total over 600, yet many remain in manuscript housed for access at the Cadbury Special Collections Library on the campus of the University of Birmingham. The reader will find citations of reviews of his music, reviews of performances during his lifetime and beyond as well as reviews of recordings both then in now in contemporary and modern newspapers and journals. Commercial and archival recordings are noted and locations given. Manuscripts that remain extant are identified and located. Up to and including 10 representative national and international live performances are noted for each work with names and venues provided. Within the Works section of the book are subcategories by medium for which they were composed for easy identification with minimal information the reader has at hand prior to opening the volume. The sketchbooks are also detailed with what materials are contained in each. Within the Bibliography section are citations of obituaries, writings by GB, dissertations, and pertinent files at: the BBC, Worcestershire Archive, Liverpool Record Office and Trinity Laban Conservatoire to name a few.

Full textAbstract:
Pierre Bourdieu is one of the most influential and widely cited figures in anglophone Canadian sociology. Since the first decade of the twenty-first century, in particular, his theories have guided research in areas such as the sociology of culture, education, social theory, social networks, and social capital. This chapter presents a content analysis of journal articles to better understand Bourdieu’s influence on anglophone Canadian sociology. Many citations to Bourdieu are ritualistic and occasionally are characterized by misreadings. Furthermore, interpretations and applications of Bourdieu’s ideas have been limited by a methodological division of labor. Quantitative research has primarily been concerned with cultural and social capital, with qualitative and historical research placing more emphasis on habitus and fields. The authors suggest several ways to expand the engagement with Bourdieu’s work, and to move beyond the current methodological division of labor.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how wider social forces, including globalization, neo-liberal economics, and widening participation in higher education shape government policies, and how much space these allow for academics to pursue meaningful and socially useful research. It assesses how various research evaluation schemes can be made more effective and meaningful, and how they may encourage more relevant research in the social sciences. The chapter addresses the use of bibliometrics (citations indices) and measurements aimed at assessing the impact of academic research. It also examines how teaching may be restored as in its rightful place as a core meaningful activity for social science academics. Teaching must once again anchor the identities and practices of academics, whether they see themselves as research-active or inactive, as long as they seek to maintain active scholarly identities.

References serve 3 primary purposes—documentation, acknowledgment, and directing or linking the reader to additional resources. Authors may cite a reference to support their own arguments or lay the foundation for their theses (documentation); as a credit to the work of other authors (acknowledgment); or to direct the reader to more detail or additional resources (directing or linking). References are a critical element of a manuscript and, as such, the reference list demands close scrutiny by authors, editors, peer reviewers, manuscript editors, and proofreaders. Authors bear primary responsibility for all reference citations. Editors and peer reviewers should examine manuscript references for completeness, accuracy, and relevance. Manuscript editors and proofreaders are responsible for assessing the completeness of references, for ensuring that references are presented in proper style and format, and for checking to make sure that any reference links are accurate and functional.

Peters, Pam. The lexicography of English usage. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198808206.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
The lexicography of English usage is often discussed as being prescriptive or descriptive, but only rarely is it analysed in terms of how usage writers use language evidence in exploring issues of current and changing usage, and whether their methodology is empirical or otherwise. This chapter discusses two twenty-first-century approaches to the use of evidence in usage writing: the selective, a priori use of citations by Bryan Garner to support his ‘Language Change Index’ in Modern American Usage (3rd edn, 2009); and the wealth of data contained in the GloWbE corpus (2012) and others created by Mark Davies, available to quantify usage trends worldwide. Corpus evidence on the assimilation of Latin borrowings, e.g. use of data in singular agreement, shows this is relatively less advanced in the US than elsewhere, which aligns with its stigmatization in American academic discourse.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines classic works that have fundamentally shaped subsequent research in public policy and administration. It first explains the approach used to identify classic academic research as a general matter, recognizing that there are many different ways of doing it, as well as the standards that such classics should meet. Three of these standards are external recognition at the highest level, the quality of the publication outlet, and the number of citations as measured via online resources such as Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. It then describes a variant of the reputational method that was adopted as the approach in assembling a list of classics in public policy and administration, resulting in a final list that includes 46 classics,. This collection displays the shared research concerns of political science and public policy and administration.

Sen, Amiya P. Chaitanya. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199493838.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This is a short yet critical biography of a major religious figure from Hindu Bengal, Krishna Chaitanya (1486–1533), based on extant hagiographical sources from medieval Bengal as also recent scholarly studies. It relies on both Bengali and English language sources, creating a dialogic and dynamic relationship between the two. The book primarily addresses graduate students and interested general readers in an easily accessible and intelligible manner, without taking recourse to copious notes and citations. The intention of this project was to produce a narrative that was both gripping and enjoyable. However, there is also ample material in this book that will interest and motivate the researcher as well. A significant part of this work is a critical evaluation of just how Chaitanya has been perceived and understood after his time, particularly in colonial Bengal where he has come to assume the place of an iconic figure. Interested readers will find the painstakingly compiled appendices quite useful.

Full textAbstract:
Longhorn Beetles — Cerambycidae are one of the most easily recognised groups of beetles, a family that worldwide encompasses over 33 000 species in 5200 genera. With over 1400 species classified in 300 genera, this is the sixth largest among 117 beetle families in Australia.
These beetles often attack and kill living forest or orchard trees and develop in construction timber (like the European House borer, introduced to WA), causing serious damage. Virtually all Cerambycidae feed on living or dead plant tissues and play a significant role in all terrestrial environments where plants are found. Larvae often utilise damaged or dead trees for their development, and through feeding on rotten wood form an important element of the saproxylic fauna, speeding energy circulation in these habitats. Many species are listed as quarantine pests because of their destructive role to the timber industry.
This second of three volumes on Australian Longhorn Beetles covers the taxonomy of genera of the Cerambycinae, with comments on natural history and morphology. One hundred and forty-two Cerambycinae genera are diagnosed and described, an illustrated key to their identification is provided, and images illustrate representatives of genera and of actual type specimens. A full listing of all Australian species with synonymies and bibliographic citations is also included.

Hogan, Patrick Colm. Sexual Identities. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190857790.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Cognitive cultural theorists have rarely taken up sex, sexuality, or gender identity. When they have done so, they have often stressed the evolutionary sources of gender differences. In Sexual Identities, Patrick Hogan extends his previous work on identity to discuss the complexities of sex, the diversity of sexuality, and the limited scope of gender. Hogan begins with a rarely drawn distinction between practical identity (the patterns in what one does, thinks, and feels) and categorial identity (how one labels oneself or is categorized by society). He adds to this a nuanced reformulation of the idea of social construction, distinguishing ideology, situational determination, shallow socialization, and deep (or critical period) socialization. On the basis of this, and wide-ranging citation of empirical research, Hogan argues for a systematic skepticism about gender differences and a view of sexuality as evolved but also in many ways contingent and highly variable. In Hogan’s analysis, the variability of sexuality and the near absence of gender fixity—the imperfect alignment of practical and categorial identities in both cases—give rise to the social practices that Judith Butler refers to as “regulatory regimes.” Hogan goes on to explore the cognitive and affective operation of such regimes. Hogan concludes by turning to sex and the question of how to understand transgendering in a way that respects the dignity of transgender people, without reverting to gender essentialism. Throughout the study, Hogan draws on a diverse body of literary works, not simply to illustrate prior arguments, but to develop his analyses.

Longhorn Beetles — Cerambycidae are one of the most easily recognised groups of beetles, a family that worldwide encompasses over 33,000 species in 5,200 genera. With over 1,400 species classified in 300 genera, this is the sixth largest among 117 beetle families in Australia.
These beetles often attack and kill living forest or orchard trees and develop in construction timber (like European House borer, introduced to WA), causing serious damages. Virtually all Cerambycidae feed on living or dead plant tissues and play a significant role in all terrestrial environments where plants are found. Larvae often utilise damaged or dead trees for their development, and through feeding on rotten wood form an important element of the saproxylic fauna, speeding energy circulation in these habitats. Many species are listed as quarantine pests because of their destructive role to the timber industry.
This volume provides a general introduction to the Australian Cerambycidae with sections on biology, phylogeny and morphology of adult and larvae, followed by the keys to the subfamilies and an overview of the 74 genera of the subfamily Lamiinae occurring in Australia. All Lamiinae genera are diagnosed, described and illustrated and an illustrated key to their identification is provided. A full listing of all included Australian species with synonymies and bibliographic citations is also included.
Biologists worldwide, curators and staff at natural history museums, quarantine/inspection services, entomologists and collectors - many of these beetles are collector's items.

Full textAbstract:
First recognized in 1822, polymorphism of crystals is now a widely recognized and observed phenomenon, with both fundamental and commercial ramifications in disciplines and industries that study and utilize solid forms of matter. The purpose of this edition is to summarize and to bring up to date the current knowledge and understanding of polymorphism in molecular crystals, and to concentrate it in one source. The information has been gleaned from a wide variety (~2500) of sources in the open literature; however, because of the increasing commercial importance of the phenomenon, a significant portion of the information is less accessible, we have attempted to include both the information from those sources as well with full details of their citations. An introductory chapter on fundamental concepts, definitions, and historical development is followed by a presentation of the physical and structural bases for crystallization and polymorphism. The exploration of the crystal form landscape is described in detail, including polymorph screens, concomitant polymorphs, and disappearing polymorphs. A survey of analytical methods for studying and characterizing polymorphs is followed by a discussion of rapidly developing computational methods for studying and attempting to predict polymorphic behavior. A chapter with many examples of the utilization of polymorphic systems to investigate structure–property relationships in solids precedes three individual chapters on the role and importance of polymorphism in pharmaceuticals, high energy materials, and pigments. The book closes with a chapter on the role of polymorphism in establishing and protecting intellectual property connected with polymorphs through the patent system.

Full textAbstract:
Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) refers to the proportional overrepresentation of minority youth at each step of the juvenile justice system. This book addresses the issue of color-blind racism through an examination of the circular logic used by the juvenile justice system to criminalize non-White youth. The book begins by introducing how structural racism affected the lives of non-White youth through their interactions with the juvenile justice system. It finds how differential treatment is the cause of DMC. The book explains the concept of Occam's razor, which involves racial or ethnic inequalities across society. It looks into the opposing explanations for DMC and focuses on law enforcement contact with juveniles through arrests and citations. Disproportionate minority contact defines the overrepresentation of minorities throughout the juvenile justice system, while overrepresentation, on the other hand, implies the comparison of racial and ethnic characteristics of people in the juvenile justice system. The book analyses intake decisions and outcomes in the juvenile justice system, and covers juvenile self-reports of deviant and criminal behaviour. It discusses issues seen in the data of DMC and tackles the process of interviewing people amongst the minority overrepresentation in the juvenile justice system. Drawing on original data, including interviews with court and probation officers and juvenile self-reports, the book calls for a need to understand racial and ethnic inequality in the juvenile justice system from a structural perspective rather than simply at the level of individual bias. In doing so, the book contributes to larger discussions on how race operates in the United States.
