To explore the pattern of choices among the references to the Frequently cited foreign critics Multiple Correspondence Analysis

  • 13 active variables
  • 44 modalities
  • 676 active cases
slide-8

13 Active variables

  • Total number of references in the bibliography (RefTot)
  • Share of secondary sources given to Frequently cited critics (FCC)
  • Citations to theorists and critics:
  • Structural, etc

  • Feminist theory
  • Narrative theory
  • Hermeneutics, etc
  • Psychoanalytical theory, etc
  • Historical-sociological
  • “Textual” theories
  • Other types of theory

Distribution of citations to leading theorists

  • Slight overrepresentation in the core discipline

(Departments of Litteraturvetenskap)

  • Strong overrepresentation at Stockholm U
  • Exception: Bourdieu at Uppsala, postcolonial

theory at Uppsala.

  • An ”effet de lieu.” Does this say anything about

the autonomy of these practices?
