This study explores the extent to which ‘French theory’ (Bourdieu, Derrida, Foucault et al.) has left its mark on the scholarly literature of information studies. A bibliometric analysis reveals which theorists (and which works) have been most highly cited over the course of the last four decades. The study also identifies the information studies journals and scholars who have been the most fre...

According to the B-theory, the passage of time is an illusion. Although times are objectively ordered, with every time earlier or later than every other, no time is objectively past, present or future. The A-theory, by contrast, says that time passes. Here I shall use the term ‘A-theory’ to include any ‘dynamic’ view of time; the term thus encompasses presentism, growing block theories and shri...

This survey paper presents the historical development of some problems on Cayley graphs which are interesting to graph and group theorists such as Hamiltonicity or diameter problems, to computer scientists and molecular biologists such as pancake problem or sorting by reversals, to coding theorists such as the vertex reconstruction problem related to error-correcting codes but not related to Ul...

“Human rights are like love,” Koskenniemi suggests, “both necessary and impossible.” An eccentricity? Equations of law and love may seem like the stuff of poets, not legal theorists, let alone practitioners. And yet, Koskenniemi, the leading public international lawyer, finds among legal theorists an unlikely ally in his claim that law and love are interrelated. Ernest Weinrib, perhaps the lead...

Out-patients (N 1⁄4 76) completed measures of interpersonal motives and construals derived from relational models theory and a five-factor model personality questionnaire. A broader range of associations between personality dimensions and relational tendencies was obtained than interpersonal circle theorists propose, with dimensions other than extraversion and agreeableness having distinctive r...

Abstract. We collect here various conjectures on congruences made by the author in a series of papers, some of which involve binary quadratic forms and other advanced theories. Part A consists of 100 unsolved conjectures of the author while conjectures in Part B have been recently confirmed. We hope that this material will interest number theorists and stimulate further research. Number theoris...

This chapter discusses the parallel progress of theory and experiments over the past decade. Focusing on three representative years, I …nd that the volume of experimental and theoretical publications has remained fairly constant in the top …ve journals, but that experimental work has been increasingly successful within the top …eld journals. On the authors’side, theorists and experimentalists h...
