No full textOwnReality. To Each His Own Reality [Research Data]
No full textThese data are constitutif of a base gathering the sources and results of the research project "OwnReality.To Each His Own Reality. The notion of the real in the fine arts of France, West Germany, East Germany and Poland between 1960 and 1989" conducted from 2011 to 2017.
The main focus of the project was the idea of identifying and reconstructing the relationships between those actively involved with art events at the time {artists, curators, art critics, art historians, etc.), apart from what can be identified as common memberships or meetings during exhibitions and congresses. It was therefore of interest how and when the idea of "reality" was discussed east and west of the Iron Curtain in the later phase of the Cold War. The project deals with the diverse viewpoints and at the same time represents the different readings of the researchers within the project team.
The results were published as articles, case studies, interviews and as searchable database embedded at the website of the DFK Paris (https://dfk-paris.org/en/page/ownrealitydatabase-and-research-tool-1353.html).
The dataset published at heiDATA encompasses:
XML-TEI documents of the case studies and interviews and summary presentations of art journals dealing with the term of "reality" and art in the four nations in question;
JSON files that output the data to the website. The main content are data to exhibitions and participating artists, curators, etc. mentioned in the examined press articles, as well as HTML derivates of the XML documents.
The formation, structure and use of the XML-TEI documents and JSON files are explained with a README file. Both types of data may serve as starting point for further research.</p
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
The Threshold of the West?:Danish Cobra Artists Exhibited at Westkunst and behind the Iron Curtain, 1948-1988
No full textVariations 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
Westkunst, 1981
No full textIn 1981, the Cologne Trade-Fair centre hosted a large exhibition titled Westkunst: Zeitgenössische Kunst seit 1939 [Western Art: Contemporary Art since 1939]. Organised by art critic Laszlo Glozer and curator Kasper König, the Western-centric survey highlighted avant-garde art and politically charged themes of freedom and individual expression. By examining Westkunst’s historiographical stakes in light of the Iron Curtain division of Europe, the show is revealed in this collective volume as paradigmatic of the ways in which hegemonic concepts of ‘Western art’ and the accompanying processes of othering were fashioned in the art world. Westkunst’s universalising claims are scrutinised here by focusing on the artistic tendencies exhibited; on exhibitionary discourses and practices of decontextualisation, comparison, and appropriation; on the alleged realisation of the values of progress, freedom, and autonomy; on the enacted conceptions of temporality and the architectural devices of narrativisation; and on the exhibition’s blind spots and exclusions and the critical reactions it elicited. This analytic output makes fresh use of the archival materials, which are neither centralised nor systematised, with significant excerpts republished throughout the book. Seen through the lens of exhibition history, this revisiting of Westkunst sheds light on a broader trend of cultural conservatism that was gaining strength in the 1980s, just before the end of the Cold War, and on the start of new forms of globalisation
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
