Crown-magnate relations, 1437-1460
No full textThis thesis examines the relations between James II and
those magnates who were active in politics during his reign,
which lasted from 1437-1460. The Black Douglas family were
of particular importance during both the minority and the
personal rule of James II and their rise to prominence,
conflict with the king, and ultimate downfall is studied
with particular reference to their bases of power and
support. The attitude of the king to the higher, and, where
appropriate, lesser nobility is considered, and the thesis
traces the development of the political community from the
beginning of the reign, when the ranks of the higher
nobility were severely depleted, to the state of the realm
and its leaders at the time of the king's death in 1460.
The major conflict with the Black Douglases is examined
through official records and chronicle references and the
various stages in the development of the contest are
outlined and assessed. The attitude of the other members of
the political community to the Crown/Douglas conflict is
studied, and the king's methods of courting support,
particularly through patronage, are traced. The attacks
launched by the king on certain members of the nobility or,
in the case of the Livingston faction, royal office holders,
are considered, as are his efforts to build up the position
of certain families and replenish the ranks of the nobility
by creating certain earldoms and lordships of parliament.
The rise of honorific dignities, i. e, the bestowal of titles
which did not necessarily include the granting of any new
land, is discussed, and the king's relationship with the
three estates gathered in Parliament or General Council is
assessed.
The view of the reign of James II which appears in modern
histories is traced through from contemporary sources with
particular reference to the histories written in the
sixteenth century which have provided much of the material,
including errors and distortions, which have formed recent
assessments

De bedijkers van de polder Charlois in 1460
No full textVolgens een oude zegswijze heeft God de wereld geschapen, maar de Nederlanders Nederland. En hoewel “scheppen” misschien niet het juist woord is, zit hier een kern van waarheid in. Vooral het noorden en westen van het land zijn het resultaat van menselijk ingrijpen, van grootschalige ontginning van veengebieden, landaanwinning, droogmaking van meren en herbedijking van overstroomde gebieden.In dit artikel staat de vraag centraal wie het land hebben vormgegeven en wat hun motieven waren. Voor de 16e eeuw en later zijn wij hierover goed ingelicht, maar niet voor eerdere eeuwen.1 Om hier wat aan te doen, beschrijft dit artikel de bedijking van de polder Charlois in 1460. In 1913 heeft R. Bijlsma hier al over gepubliceerd en in 1921 W.F. de Waal, maar deze auteurs wisten niet dat er een lijst overgeleverd is van de participanten in de bedijking.2 Bovendien zijn er sindsdien vele bronnen toegankelijk gemaakt die ons helpen een beeld te vormen van de participanten en hun netwerken, zoals de leenrepertoria die in het tijdschrift Ons Voorgeslacht gepubliceerd zijn.3In dit artikel zullen wij eerst de voorgeschiedenis van de polder Charlois en de uitgifte in 1460 behandelen. Hierna komen de participanten in de bedijking, hun netwerken en hun motieven aan bod. Het artikel sluit af met een korte conclusie, die de bedijking van Charlois in breder perspectief plaatst en enige suggesties voor verder onderzoek geeft.Water Resource
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
