The Jews of Yemen in the literary work of Ali al-Muqri: A bold and liberal Yemeni author on Jews and Judaism
No full text...The novelist, poet and journalist, Ali al-Muqri, native of Ta‘izz (b. 1966), is known for expressing his views on religious and social minorities of Yemen. A powerful expression to this effect has been given in his four novels (2008–2014). Al-Muqri was compelled to self-imposed exile from his native country on account of threats to his life, arising from his harsh criticism of the Yemeni society, and due to its religious conservatism. Without intimidation, and by making very bold statements, he ruthlessly attacks the negative attitude towards minorities, the more vulnerable elements of society: the Akhdām (a socially marginalized sect), women and Jews.
The article treats the prominent presence of Judaism and of the Jews in two of al-Muqri’s novels:
The novel, which bears the provocative and challenging name, Al-Yahūdī al-Ḥālī (“The Handsome Jew”) (2009). It is the story of a love affair which happened in the 17th century between a young and educated Muslim girl, the daughter of the local mufti (high religious personality), and a very handsome young Jewish boy. The background is set against the infamous Headgears’ Decree (1667) and the Mawza’ Exile (1679).
(b) Bukhūr ‘Adanī (Adeni Incense) (2014), a very comprehensive novel wherein al-Muqri lays out in detail his cultural and humanitarian perspective that spans the world, by means of a utopian perspective of mutual co-existence between the adherents of different religions and faiths in the cosmopolitan city of Aden. The first disintegration of this social framework, which stands at the very center of the novel’s plot, comes actually with the immigration of Yemenite Jews to the land of Israel, an event that al-Muqri views with great understanding. Thus, based on al-Muqri’s literary fiction which reflects therein, in accordance with his mimesis, a true reality, the end of the homeland Aden is ushered in: the end of individual freedom, the end of Jewish communal life in the city, and above all, the end of universal human equalit

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
