GeoHumanities and Health
No full textThis is an introduction to the themes and contributions in the book. The essay discusses the potential and characteristics of the hybrid space of the GeoHumanities and the placing of health with this space. We consider the ways in which openings and opportunities may arise for successfully interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary scholarship related to medicine and health. We take a thematic approach in structuring the collection, through bodies, voices and practice, and chart the ways in which the contributing authors have conceived of GeoHumanities and Health
Multiplicity and Encounters of Cultures of Care in Advanced Ageing
Full text linkThe demographic of an ageing population in many countries is increasing the numbers of elderly who are resident in care homes especially in parts of South East Asia. The investments made into care-related activities in residential homes for the elderly largely reflect a medical approach in which priority is given to physical care through bodily maintenance and limited physical exercise, and only limited resources are allocated to other intellectual or imaginative engagements. The study introduces a very different culture of caring practice into a Singaporean nursing home through an arts-based programme in which the medical benefits are secondary to an assertion that the imagination, creativity and self-expression should be intrinsic to how we conceive of human thriving, emancipation and vitality. This difference of purpose draws our attention to the specific practice of the arts practitioner in how they care for and manage the activities, the space and the atmosphere of the arts sessions in the nursing home. In contrast to the dominant containment culture of care of the nursing home, we introduce the notion of the caring artist to capture this culture of careful practice that is attentive to the participants’ own choices, supportive to the actions they wish to engage and reflexive of their own practice
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
Political Communications: The General Election of 2001
No full textThis work examines political communications in British general elections. Like its predecessors it has a dual purpose: first, to make available the reflections of those who participated in it; and, second, to provide analysis of the media, the parties and public opinion polls in the campaig
