REPAIRING THE SELF: MATERIAL MEMORY, SUSTAINABILITY AND AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY CERAMIC ART
No full textThis article examines contemporary ceramic art as a site of autobiographical self-narration articulated through material memory, repair practices, and an emerging ethics of material sustainability. Moving beyond text-centered models of autobiography, it argues that ceramic materiality, particularly processes of breakage, fragmentation, and visible mending, functions as a non-textual mode of autobiographical expression. Rather than treating repair as a purely technical intervention, the study conceptualizes it as a narrative and material framework through which identity is constructed as fractured, contingent, and continually reassembled. Drawing on theories of narrative identity, material memory, and material agency, the article positions ceramic and porcelain materials as active narrative agents whose fragility enables memory to be registered through damage and repair while foregrounding questions of responsibility and sustainability. Through analyses of selected contemporary ceramic practices and a reflexive yet non-confessional engagement with artistic process, it demonstrates how visible seams and deliberate imperfections materialize lived experience and identity formation. By foregrounding repair as both a narrative and ethical strategy, the article expands auto/biography studies beyond textual paradigms and proposes the repaired self as a productive model of autobiographical identity grounded in material awareness, sustainability, and ongoing reconstruction
THE AESTHETİCS OF IMPERFECTİON: CONCEPTUAL AND VİSUAL DİMENSİONS OF FLAW İN ART
No full textThe concept of imperfection has long occupied a central place in aesthetic and philosophical debates in art history. Rather than being regarded merely as deficiency or deformation, imperfection has frequently been adopted as a creative and expressive strategy. In contrast to ideals of perfection, artists have deliberately employed flaw to develop alternative modes of representation and aesthetic experience. Across diverse cultures and artistic movements, imperfection has thus been redefined as a meaningful aesthetic value. This study examines how imperfection has been conceptualized in art, its role within aesthetic discourse, and the historical contexts in which it emerged as a conscious artistic choice. Attention is given to the Wabi-Sabi philosophy in East Asian aesthetics, which values transience, simplicity, and the beauty of flaws, as well as to modern and contemporary Western movements such as Dadaism and Conceptual Art, where imperfection functions as an intrinsic artistic strategy. Through selected examples, including Yeesookyung’s Translated Vase series and the Japanese Kintsugi tradition, the study explores how fracture, repair, and material trace operate as aesthetic and conceptual devices. Imperfection is approached not only as a visual quality but also as a means of meaning-making and of renewing the dialogue between artwork and viewer.Kusursuzluk kavramı, sanat tarihinin büyük bir kısmı, estetik ve felsefe tartışmalarının merkezinde yer alan bir temadır. Daha da önemlisi, bir eksiklik veya deformasyon olarak ortaya çıkan kusur, yaratıcı ve ifade edici bir strateji olarak sıklıkla benimsenmiştir. Mükemmellik ideallerinin karşısında, sanatçılar temsil ve estetik deneyim alternatiflerini geliştirmek için kusurları kasıtlı olarak kullanırlar. Aynı şekilde, farklı kültürlerde ve sanatsal hareketlerde kusur, önemli bir estetik değer olarak yeniden tanımlanır.
Bu stüdyo, sanatta kavramsallaştırılan kusurlar, estetik söylemin içindeki kağıt ve bilinçli bir sanatsal seçimde dönüştürüldüğü tarihsel anların bir sonucu olarak inceleniyor. Geçici, basit ve mükemmel olmayan güzelliklerin yanı sıra Dadaizm, Soyut Anlatımcılık gibi modern ve çağdaş Batı sanatı hareketleri gibi, Asya Doğu estetiğinde Wabi-Sabi felsefesine özellikle dikkat edilmelidir. Arte Conceptual, kusurların sanatsal pratiğin içsel bir öğesi olarak ortaya çıktığı noktada.
Yeesookyung\u27un Translated Vase serisinde ve Kintsugi\u27nin Japon geleneğinde seçilen bazı konuların analizinde stüdyo, estetik ve kavramsal olarak kırılma, onarım ve malzeme işlevlerini araştırıyor. Kusurlar yalnızca görsel olarak ortadan kaldırılmaz, çünkü aynı zamanda önemli bir yapı ortamı ve hem salonda hem de izleyicide diyalogun yenilenmesiyle tamamlanır. Kusursuz dönüşümü, ifade modunu sınırlamayı sağlayan stüdyo, estetik algısının ve çağdaş sanatsal dilin gelişimini anlamak için bir bakış açısı eleştirisi sunuyor.
Kusursuzluk kavramı, uzun bir süre boyunca, sanat tarihi ve estetik ve felsefe üzerine yoğunlaşan merkezi bir tartışma konusu oldu. Bunlar, bir eksiklik veya deformasyon gibi, eleştirel ve ifade edici bir yaklaşım olarak sıklıkla uygulanan bir kusurdur. Mükemmeliyet fikirlerine karşı, sanatçılar temsil ve estetik deneyim alternatiflerini geliştirmek için kasıtlı olarak çalışırlar veya bunu kaybederler. Farklı kültürler ve sanat akımları arasında, kusurlu bir yaklaşım, önemli bir estetik değer olarak yeniden tanımlanıyor.
Bu, sanat anlayışının geçersizliği olarak inceleniyor, ancak estetik söylemi yok ve tarihi bağlamlar artık sanatsal bir vicdanla parçalanmış durumda. Wabi-Sabi\u27nin Batı Asya estetiğine özel bir ilgi göstermesi, geçici bir değere sahip olması, basit ve kusurlu olmayan bir şey olması, modern ve çağdaş batı akımları gibi, Dadaizm ve Kavramsal Sanat gibi, eskisi gibi değil içsel sanatsal bir işlev olarak kusurlu bir işlev.
Yeesookyung\u27un bir dizi Japon Kintsugi geleneğine çevrilmiş Vazo\u27su da dahil olmak üzere seçilen birçok örnek, bir kardeşlik olarak araştırma veya estetik ve konsept olarak yeniden yapılanma ve traç malzeme çalışmasını onarma. Sağlamlık, kaliteli bir görsel olarak görüntülenmiyor, bu da önemli bir yapı ve izleyici için diyalogun yenilenmesi gibi bir şey.
 
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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
