TEXTILE PRACTICES AS MEMORY MAKING: WEAVING BONDS BETWEEN THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE IN CONTEMPORARY ART AND ACTIVISM IN TURKEY (2010s–Present)
No full textThis dissertation titled Textile Practices As Memory Making: Weaving Bonds
Between The Past, Present And Future In Contemporary Art And Activism In
Turkey (2010s-Present) investigates the ways in which contemporary textile-
based practices participate in the making of collective memories of violent
pasts through an analysis of cases from/linked with Turkey. It focuses on
how the material properties and connotations of textiles and textile-based
techniques can be mobilized for memory work by curatorial, artistic and
activist practices while simultaneously examining the permeabilities and
tensions between these.
Situated within the intersections of contemporary art and activism, the cases
analyzed in-depth in the scope of this dissertation are as follows: (1)
Embroideries made by Hripsimeh Sarkissian (b.1908, Dersim, Ottoman
Empire – 2000, Istanbul) a woman who survived the Armenian Genocide and
the Dersim Massacre, and her granddaughter Anita Toutikian’s (b.1961,
Beirut, Lebanon) curatorial work with and reinterpretation of these objects
(2) Textile-based works by the visual artist Eşref Yıldırım (b.1978, Bursa,
Turkey) for which he rewrote parts from a poem by the deceased poet
Arkadaş Z. Özger (b.1948, Bursa – d.1973, Ankara) (3) Örgülü Mücadele, a
group collectively knitting blankets as a part of the struggle for justice in the
aftermath of the bomb attack that targeted the participants of a peace rally in
Ankara on 10 October 2015
All three of the cases are subject to a comprehensive scholarly study for the
first time within the scope of this dissertation. This is one of the important
contributions of this study.
In examining the cases, I explore how creative practices can provide grounds
for political, artistic, art historical and activist possibilities other than the
representation of past violence. I deploy three notions, also by demonstrating
the interactions between them: act of making, materiality and collectivity. I
argue that placing the acts of making - understood as bodily labor,
procedural and material – as crucial elements in the analysis and data
collection enables the identification of collectivities that are not always
immediately apparent. Informed by feminist and queer politics and ethics,
my proposal is that the abovementioned political, artistic and activist
possibilities, which might contribute to both theory and practice, occur
within and through these collectivities and processes of making. The
individual case analyses exemplify and explicit how this proposal can be
implemented. In this respect, this dissertation offers an alternative and
applicable analytical and methodological framework that can provide
insightful contribution to the studies in art history, critical textile scholarship
and memory studies

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
