This pair of texts, article and response – a performance poem of sorts – focuses on the sexual and textual erotics which circulate in the texts written by Jacques Derrida and Hélène Cixous for and about each other. It is based on Michael O'Rourke's ‘The Divivacities of Cixous and Derrida’, a keynote lecture delivered at the Bodies in Movement conference at Edinburgh in May of 2011 and Kamillea Aghtan's response to O'Rourke. It seeks to discuss the textual intimacies of Hélène Cixous, Jacques Derrida (and by reflection Michael O'Rourke and Kamillea Aghtan) and the various sensual bodies of text created between them. As O'Rourke enfolds his textual subjects, Aghtan repositions O'Rourke's conception of textual friendship and love in terms of her response and, by doing so, suggests a new kind of (un)balanced relationship in its writing, the creation of different amalgams and further bodies of text that are thoroughly contingent, multiplying and obstinately open-ended.

In this work I address creativity in the process of social sciences research, comparing quantitative and qualitative approaches. In discussing creativity I go back to Chomsky and his distinction between rule-governed and rule-changing creativity. In my analysis I suggest that the quantitative approach is characterized by rule-governed creativity, the qualitative one by rule-changing creativity: these are two models of creativity that the Chomskian vision links to a set of rules. Thus in the first case the creation of the tools by which the researcher collects information is submitted to a set of rules related to substantial and procedural competences. In the second case the creative phase does not have a place in the creation of a tool, but rather in a performance. The idea of performance as a constitutive part in qualitative research is analysed on a substantial basis, revealing the implications of distinct creative processes under different methodological choices. Whilst a quantitative approach requires using procedural and substantial competences, I suggest that in a qualitative enquiry the researcher’s fieldwork is considered as a ‘performance’ because of its adaptive character. The researcher is constantly confronted with unforeseen situations, surrounded by an unknown environment. Also, this use of the notion of ‘performance’ comprehends both elements of the process as well as of the outcome of fieldwork, as it recalls peculiar characteristics of qualitative work: action and interaction, personal involvement and, above all, orientation to a purpose (in this context, the teleological purpose of knowledge production).

Abstract The fragment of the chorus of Euripides Orestes preserved on Pap. Vienna G 2315 leaves a host of unanswered questions. For whom was the papyrus inscribed? How much of Orestes was preserved on the roll? Whose music is it, and what melodic and harmonic sounds does it preserve? Can the gaps in the melody be filled so as to (re)create performable music based on the papyrus for the Euripidean text, and if so how? This article sets out in detail the steps that led to the creation of a score that has become part of a widely viewed Youtube video presentation of a performance in Oxford in July 2017.

Toilets, a neglected facility in the study of human relations at work and beyond, have become increasingly important in discussions about future experiences of gender diversity. To further investigate the spatial production of gender and its potential expressions, we transformed a unisex single-occupancy toilet at Uppsala University into an all-gender or ‘hir-toilet’.1 With the aim to disrupt and expose the dominant spatial organization of the two binary genders, we inaugurated the hir-toilet with the help of a performance artist. We describe and analyse internal and external responses thereto, using Lefebvre’s work on dialectics and space. Focusing on how space is variously lived, conceived and perceived, our analysis questions the very rationale of gender categorizations. The results contribute to a renewed critique of binary thinking in the organization of workplaces by extending our understanding of how space and human relations mutually constitute each other.
