    Kehidupan perupa berbaur dengan berbagai subjek dalam transformasi budaya yang sedang mencair, dari budaya lama menuju kekinian, dan terfokus dalam satu subjek yang jelas adalah permasalahan utama. Data historis memberikan rekaman kehidupan yang mengindikasikan kehidupan masyarakat yang mengalami depresi. Masyarakat merasakan tekanan psikologis yang memberikan dampak tidak terpenuhinya kebutuhan hidup secara baik. Masalah kemiskinan, ketidakadilan, budaya kekerasan, bencana alam, danlain-lain melahirkan depresi kehidupan yang tercermin dalam bentuk ekspresi tubuh dari makhluk hidup, khususnya manusia. Subject matter yang dimunculkan dalam abstraksi biomorfis merupakan simplifikasi dari ekspresi tubuh ke dalam bentuk estetis berupa transformasi bentuk geometri (benda mati) dan biomorfis (benda hidup). Subjeknya adalah ketidakberdayaan makhluk hidup, yang diekspresikan melalui proses estetik yaitu abstraksi bentuk biomorfis sebagai materi subjek. Penulisan disertasi ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif untuk memahami tindakan-tindakan manusia ketika menciptakan suatu karya seni. Metode ini mencatat, melukiskan, dan menggambarkan seluruh sifat dan karakteristik objek penelitian yang telah ditentukan. Pendekatan hermeneutik atau interpretasi juga digunakan untuk menafsirkan berbagai gejala atau peristiwa, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan kebudayaan dan yang lebih khusus lagi adalah karya seni (simbol nonverbal) dan bahasa (simbol-simbol yang verbal). Arahan dari metode ini adalah untuk mencari pemahaman tentang makna melalui interpretasi. Perwujudan itu didahului dengan studi bentuk melalui suatu eksperimen dengan media animasi tiga dimensi (3d) tentang berbagaikemungkinan pengembangan bentuk-bentuk biomorfis yang terus berproses. Format karya berupa bentuk 3d dengan ketebalan antara 40 hingga 90 sentimeter, sedangkan ukuran besarnya diperoleh dari perkalian yang ada. Keunikan karya ini dapat dilihat dari masuknya monitor televisi dengan menampilkan film animasi berupa abstraksi biomorfis. Hal itu menambah suatu asosiasi yang tidak terputus dalam menikmati suatu kreativitas bentuk yang disajikan. Bahan yang digunakan dalam penciptaan karya-karya ini dominan logam tembaga dengan menggunakan teknik kenteng, dengan efek tekstur yang optis. Karya ini membuka peluang besar untuk berkolaborasi dalam penciptaan karya seni rupa antarpakar dunia dan dapat dikerjakan dengan baik oleh para ahli fisika, elektronika, robotika, pakar konstruksi, dan lain-lain, baik dari dalam negeri maupun luar negeri. Mereka dapat menyatukan keahliannya dalam suatu ciptaan seni rupa sebagai monumen perdamaian dunia. Abstraksi biomorfis merupakan ekspresi estetis, bukan lagi milik perorangan atau milik suatu bangsa, melainkan menjadi milik warga dunia. Kata kunci: penciptaan, abstraksi biomorfis, dan ekspresi depres

    The Harmony of Woman Body in Galih Reza Suseno Paintings

    Painting as the work of art represents the values that the artist believes in interpreting life based on personal experiences and point of views. This study aims to explore various representations of harmony values in women’s bodies in Galih Reza Suseno paintings. The study was conducted at Bangunharjo, Sewon, Bantul, Indonesia during July-December 2020. This study used a qualitative method with an embedded single case study approach. The results showed Galih painted based on Imago Dei\u27s concept, which is a value in Christian teachings, which means that man was created similar to God. Galih presents women\u27s bodies in paintings based on the view that the world of imagery often deceives modern women. Galih defines women, not as objects but subjects who become themselves and are entitled to their bodies. Visualization of women\u27s bodies in various gestures, expressions, and imagery represents the values of harmony within the spirituality of life

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
