Although we disagree strongly with a number of Bowern and Warner’s (hereafter B&W) characterizations of our own paper (hereafter C&R2013), we do agree with most of their assertions, and we welcome this contribution to our discipline. We intentionally gave our original paper a provocative title and wrote in a provocative manner in order to get the discipline’s attention. With the publication of B&W, we are hopeful that we succeeded in that goal. We are not against collaboration, we simply believe it needs to be considered in a more critical light. Although B&W do not say so explicitly, we think we are in agreement that all of the scenarios they have outlined in their § 2 are ones in which the linguist is behaving ethically. That is the essential point we are attempting to make in C&R2013— that there are situations where a non-collaborative approach may be appropriate and ethical. We applaud B&W’s greatly expanded definition of collaboration: “if an outside re-searcher involves commun...

Models of collaboration found in large-scale scientific research groups were mapped onto the sociality of Art & Language at a time of change in the composition and size of the collective. The relevance of concepts drawn from the history and philosophy of science — such as Thomas Kuhn’s elaboration of “paradigm shift” and Paul Feyerabend’s notion of “anarchistic epistemology” — was critically discussed as we employed them to gain an understanding of the singular conditions of our collective.

7L}Le editoT' of this ,iou･T'naZ asked Tne to uJT'ite a short fbr'ward of this inte7n)ieuJ article .t'or ,Japanese readeTs to ea;pZain how its originat Engtish version came to be pmblished 'in Japan. It all goes back to rrby Oxford days in the summe'r' of 2008. I met P7ofttssor' crLeTe Bo foT' the fi･r'st time in a tectur'e theater near St. Cross CoZlege, tvheT-thc fir'st lectuT'c o.f' the .Johrt Lock;e Lecture serties was delivered. Later, Ifoun[l hi7n i'n the gecttLre Tz}om on the secoTtcl .fiooT' at 10 Mar'torb wher'e Pr'ofkssoT' Ti7n,othy Hlilliamson conducted his senLinar' on philosophy of tanguage, C7ben Bo anci I then began to discuss vario'us kinds ofprobZems in phigosophy in various pgaces in OuifoT'ct. Sorrietim,es our discussion took place in his o,tfice iTt. the base･rrbent o,f' the philosophy foculty buigdiny. On svmc other occasions, he invited rne to his house to continue o･ur discussions over the dinner table. When we met and discussed phigosophy, J had occasions to look throztgh the drojZ's of the present i･nte7"vie･w a'rticle. At first the drcoft was ??,ot so long.

In a thought-provoking article, Sondra Bacharach and Deborah Tollefsen advocate a perspective on coauthorship based on Margaret Gilbert's ideas about collective action and responsibility. Bacharach and Tollefsen contend that their approach is more “nuanced” and “intuitively ...

Time loops in a cycle without regard to a beginning or end. The cycle loops in time, in order to complete one full rotation, perhaps forever. The rotation dreams of being an eclipse, but no matter how it is stretched will always be a circle or ellipsis. This cyclical time is archaic in origin, yet is eternal. To live in a constant state of déjà vu is best left up to the imagination and to the philosophers of time and space. As I try to channel my inner Einstein, it becomes clear that time and space is a complex subject matter for an exhibition. Even the way one is taught how to write an essay is linear, not cyclical. Without a linear thesis, this essay might loop to an unknown territory void of a fixed point and seem more like the writings of Italo Calvino. What binds the print-based projects of the exhibition Cyclic are the modes of collaboration with respect to investigations and abstractions of time and space and the dichotomy of static and fixed movements.
