“Film Censorship in Western Australia: Public, Government and Industrial Responses 1898-1928”
Get PDFMuch work has been undertaken by legal writers on the present debates surrounding censorship in Australia.Many of these writings focus their critique on the extent to which Australian censorship law attempts to regulate public morality and the problems that arise form such an approach. Other work has critiqued the issue of whether this legislative sphere is best handled at the Federal level or the State level. While this work is important in its own right, very little of this work describes the historical debates and reform initiatives from which present legislative censorship policies now find their source. This leaves an unfortunate gap in the writing on state sanctioned censorship within this country, for without an understanding of the ways in which the public and past governments have responded to calls for tighter controls on what people should view, an incomplete understanding of the source and reasons for modern day censorship campaigns emerges.
This paper examines the responses made by the Western Australian public, government and film industry to the question of film censorship between 1898 and 1928: it examines the similarities and differences between Western Australian responses and responses in the eastern states. It aims to rectify two major imbalances in existing work: firstly, the stress upon eastern states' responses as representative of Australia as a whole; and secondly, the failure to integrate political, social and economic influences which shaped the development of film censorship. As well it identifies transitions in public perceptions of film between 1898 and 1928.
While there were similarities in Western Australia and eastern states' responses to film there were also differences, particularly in the way government and public organisations responded to the debate. In particular, the conclusion drawn in previous studies, that the public initially complained about film as medium rather than film's message is not true for Western Australia. As well, there were noticeable transitions in the way people perceived the effects of film. In the 1910s organisations did not complain about both the immorality of film content and the link between film and criminal behaviour. Rather the debate about criminal behaviour did not develop until after 1916 and this transition was a reflection of the changing content of film in this period. An examination of political, social and economic factors affecting film censorship in Western Australia indicates that an analysis of film censorship which ignores any of these factors within their historical context ignores the complex interplay which shaped Australian film censorship controls and which arguably impact upon present day censorship policies.
This paper is divided into five parts. Part One discusses the introduction of moving pictures into Western Australia and highlights some misconceptions which have occurred in previous studies of this early period. Parts Two and Three examine government, industrial and public responses to the question of film censorship between 1911 and 1927. Part four discusses the Minutes of Evidence from the Royal Commission and Part five provides the conclusion. Central to the paper is the changing public perceptions, between the early 1900s and 1927, of the effect of films upon the child and society

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
Internal dynamics of Abell 2294: a massive, likely merging cluster
No full textContext. The mechanisms giving rise to diffuse radio emission in galaxy clusters, and in particular their connection with cluster mergers, are still debated.
Aims: We seek to explore the internal dynamics of the cluster Abell 2294, which has been shown to host a radio halo.
Methods: Our analysis is mainly based on redshift data for 88 galaxies acquired at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. We combine galaxy velocities and positions to select 78 cluster galaxies and analyze its internal dynamics. We also use both photometric data acquired at the Isaac Newton Telescope and X-ray data from the Chandra archive.
Results: We re-estimate the redshift of the large, brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) obtaining = 0.1690, which closely agrees with the mean cluster redshift. We estimate a quite large line-of-sight (LOS) velocity dispersion σ_V ~ 1400 km s-1 and X-ray temperature TX ~ 10 keV. Our optical and X-ray analyses detect substructure. Our results imply that the cluster is composed of two massive subclusters separated by a LOS rest frame velocity difference Vrf ~ 2000 km s-1, very closely projected in the plane of sky along the SE-NW direction. This observational picture, interpreted in terms of the analytical two-body model, suggests that Abell 2294 is a cluster merger elongated mainly in the LOS direction and captured during the bound outgoing phase, a few fractions of Gyr after the core crossing. We find that Abell 2294 is a very massive cluster with a range of M = 2-4 × 1015 h70-1 Msun, depending on the adopted model. In contrast to previous findings, we find no evidence of Hα emission in the spectrum of the BCG galaxy.
Conclusions: The emerging picture of Abell 2294 is that of a massive, quite “normal” merging cluster, like many clusters hosting diffuse radio sources. However, perhaps because of its particular geometry, more data are needed for reach a definitive, more quantitative conclusion
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
