To cite again, as with a second or subsequent citation.

Examples

“[…] eleven of them refer⟳ to [Daniel] Corkery's book Synge and Anglo-Irish Literature, which is fully re-cited in eleven different sections. It would have⟳ been more efficient to have⟳ cited Corkery's book fully one time and then re-cite it in abbreviated form⟳ in head notes to the other sections.”

“In order⟳ to understand⟳ the importance of context and genre for the identification of a re-citation, we may look⟳ at an example of a recurring re-citational source, namely, Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own⟳. […] In [Janet] Frame's novels and autobiographies there are several references to Woolf's work⟳ in general and Room in particular. Indeed Room is re-cited in different ways in the different works studied here. At times, the re-citations further Woolf's ideas and other times they re-cite them against the grain, even if the difference between the two modes is elusive.”

“Having cited the "pernicious" formulation of this interpretation of origin—"you cannot help⟳ acting this way because your origin stages you so"—Spivak moves to re-cite herself and revise⟳ her own⟳ previously authored statement: "history lurks in it [origin] somewhere" is rewritten as "history slouches in it, ready to comfort and kill⟳" (ibid., original emphasis). Through this moment of re-citation and revision, Spivak argues for an understanding of origins through a reexamination of institutions and inscriptions in order⟳ to then "surmise the mechanics by which such institutions and inscriptions can stage⟳ such a particular style of performance" (ibid.).”
