by
Richardson, Paul A
in
Readership
2024
Both subject and author belong to The Hymn Society community, and their common interest in its calling brings import to this readership. [...]lacking are Routley's roles as keynote speaker at the Society's first convocation (Wittenberg University, 1975) and presenter of the opening address at Princeton in 1980. The principal aim of the book-a broader understanding of the person whose thoughts and words remain accessible and influential-is accomplished.

LA INTIMIDAD DE UN HOMBRE Y DE SU MUNDO : EL DIARIO DE LUIS OYARZÚN
by
Oses, Darío
in
Readership
2019
Quiero ser capaz de responder a mi deseo profundo de abandonar por completo las aventuras de los sentidos (4 de marzo de 1952). La tensión entre ese \"recogimiento\" y la disciplina de trabajo que Oyarzún busca, por una parte, y su incapacidad de abandonar las \"aventuras de los sentidos\", por otra, construye una sutil vertebración del Diario... y es también uno de los motivos que reaparece con mayor frecuencia y cantidad de variaciones en la obra, a veces con su carga de culpa, otras veces sin ella, como en esta anotación, donde el autor encuentra una posible explicación externa a sus estados de laxitud improductiva: Leonidas Morales llama \"querella secreta, nunca resuelta\" a este conflicto que Oyarzún mantiene consigo mismo, y que a lo largo del Diario progresa lentamente hasta alcanzar su clímax en la última página, del 25 de noviembre de 1972, cuando el autor, a los cincuenta y dos años, después de una hemorragia interna que le produce un vómito de sangre, relata su agonía en la sala de un hospital de Valdivia, donde llegan otros moribundos que se quejan, tosen, sufren, escupen, deliran y monologan.

La elección de un género. presentación de El diario íntimo en Chile, de Leonidas Morales
by
Amaro, Lorena
in
Readership
2016
Sin embargo, a pesar del tiempo que arrasa, el diario da testimonio de la persona que dejó aquellos fragmentos, y lo hace, tomo aquí a Ricardo Piglia, como \"una máquina de dejar huellas\", la que se opone a la memoria siempre olvidadiza. Dejar huellas, dejar fragmentos que asoman como Icebergs en el enorme mar de la desmemoria, es lo que se encuentra en el horizonte de todo diario. Atraído por esas marcas, por esas huellas, Leónidas Morales viene trabajando desde los años 80 en este género, mucho antes que todos los investigadores chilenos que se han Interesado en los últimos años en los géneros referenciales y las escrituras del yo; como crítico, él cumple de algún modo el destino del diarista: siempre otro, también siempre el mismo, con la coherencia de una voz que despliega su mirada a lo largo de varios lustros. Leonidas Morales se interna, pues, por los desfiladeros de esos textos incompletos, buscando ver en ellos algunas matrices de lectura: en Lily íñiguez, la coincidencia entre la salud del cuerpo individual y el cuerpo social, ambos amenazados en la percepción de su autora; en Teresa Wilms, el acto fallido de la rebeldía que culmina en el suicidio; en Alone, las notas de un lector que dan cuenta de, cito, \"un sujeto biográfico y cultural que se nos aparece como un epígono de la 'belle époque', que la asume fuertemente tensionado desde el horizonte de su crisis\" (60-61) y la necesaria estetización de la vida; la lectura y la crisis vocacional y valórica en el diario de Góngora; las relaciones entre la concepción de la \"obra\" y la concreción de la escritura diarística en el viajero y ecologista Luis Oyarzún; las relaciones entre la pose y la sinceridad codificada, \"construida\" en los diarios de Donoso, diarios en que la presencia del doble gravita en toda su paranoia; la imposibilidad del consuelo de la ficción en Gligo y la presencia material de \"un cuerpo que muere\" en Millán.

Byron, mise en scène. “Self”-Dramatization and the Fiction of Authenticity
2024
Various attempts at Romantic self-fashioning can be shown to be characteristically paradoxical or downright antinomic. But in the case of Lord Byron, this is taken a step further, because his discursive self-assembly oversteps the confines of the text and now happens in the public sphere, with his readership as a sparring partner. Focussing mainly on Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage and Don Juan, this article explores how, once this process has been externalized in such a way, it is also performative to a degree that differs in kind from earlier attempts which remain solely within the framework of a written text. Of what nature can a subject be that is not the starting point, but, at best, the trajectory of a joint serial production? Arguing that in the case of Byron we are no longer in any position to compare a textual construct to or with an extra-textual original, because the “original” itself is so conspicuously a fabrication, this article critiques simplistically empirical cross-checks of fictional texts against “reality,” of persona against “Byron himself.” Byron’s performance is read as an invitation not so much to question the reality status of fiction than to open our eyes to the fictionality of reality; moreover, it reveals the fiction of authenticity, as it discloses public role playing as the true identity of the subject in the age of media reproducibility.

A multi-dimensional analysis of usage counts, Mendeley readership, and citations for journal and conference papers
2024
This study analyzed 16,799 journal papers and 98,773 conference papers published by IEEE Xplore in 2016 to investigate the relationships among usage counts, Mendeley readership, and citations through descriptive, regression, and mediation analyses. Differences in the relationship among these metrics between journal and conference papers are also studied. Results showed that there is no significant difference between journal and conference papers in the distribution patterns and accumulation rates of the three metrics. However, the correlation coefficients of the interrelationships between the three metrics were lower in conference papers compared to journal papers. Secondly, funding, international collaboration, and open access are positively associated with all three metrics, except for the case of funding on the usage metrics of conference papers. Furthermore, early Mendeley readership is a better predictor of citations than early usage counts and performs better for journal papers. Finally, we reveal that early Mendeley readership partially mediates between early usage counts and citation counts in the journal and conference papers. The main difference is that conference papers rely more on the direct effect of early usage counts on citations. This study contributes to expanding the existing knowledge on the relationships among usage counts, Mendeley readership, and citations in journal and conference papers, providing new insights into the relationship between the three metrics through mediation analysis.

Reworking research
2019
The blog is an increasingly familiar newcomer to the panoply of academic genres, offering researchers the opportunity to disseminate their work to new and wider audiences of experts and interested lay people. This digital medium, however, also brings challenges to writers in the form of a relatively unpredictable readership and the potential for immediate, public and potentially hostile criticism. To understand how academics in the social sciences respond to this novel rhetorical situation, we explore how they discoursally recontextualize in blogs the scientific information they have recently published in journal articles. Based on two corpora of 30 blog posts and 30 journal articles with the same authors and topics, we examine the ways researchers carefully reconstruct a different writer persona and relationship with their readers using stance and engagement model. In addition to supporting the view that the academic blog is a hybrid genre situated between academic and journalistic writing, we show how writers’ rhetorical choices help define different rhetorical contexts.
