Karl Barth�s doctrine of creation: Convergence and divergence with African Christology
No full textThis article explores the intersection between Karl Barth�s doctrine of creation and African Christology seeking to elicit similarities as well as differences. It argues that this intersection is contested and open to different understanding and interpretation. The common goal amongst the two doctrines is that they derive from biblical teachings about creation and the creator. However, there is also divergence between the doctrines. Barth�s point of departure in his doctrine of creation maintains the Covenant of God to humanity which is not extended to all creation. African Christology�s point of departure, on the other hand, maintains that the relations between God, humanity and all life-forms are sacred because of its intrinsic value and sacramental nature. From an African perspective, creation is mutually related and interconnected to the web of life. All life forms hold intrinsic value. It is argued that African Christology implicates Barth�s Christological focus as something that reveals Barth�s doctrine of creation as anthropocentric
„Avoiding Closure‟ and „Postmodern Temporality‟ in Barth‟s „On with the Story’
No full textPostmodern temporality in literature, as it involves non-linear time and narration, creates a
discrepancy between the narrated time and the temporal time of narration, and thus the order of
events within a story are playfully dealt with. Complexities become more when there is no sense of
ending in such stories. John Barth‟s „On with the Story’ proves a good case in point in reflecting the
poetics of postmodernism by manipulating nonlinear progression of time with multidimensional,
discrete, and game-like temporality in creating flickering textual constructions, especially when he
puts no endings for his stories and avoids closure to mirror the breakdown of traditional narrative
values. Accordingly, the present paper tries to highlight Barth‟s narrative techniques in
foregrounding nonlinearity and open-endedness in his „On with the Story’. As such, the aim of the
study is to determine to what degree Barth‟s play with time and narration echo postmodern concerns
and how is possible to make sense of a postmodern story by investigating into its textual structure
than the mere course of events. Barth‟s achievement in the postmodern ground in this story, just like
his other ones, not only challenges traditional narrativity and temporality but also presents the reader
with a new sense of understanding reality as it is happening around us
Karl Barth�s understanding of mission: The Church in relationship
Full text linkAs the Church is moving towards its 21st century of existence, it is confronted by challenges it has never known before. This changing world demands self-reflection within the Church. It has to consider its place, identity and function, thereby giving rise to the exploration of its mission. In this article, the ecclesiology of Karl Barth is explored. By considering Barth�s understanding of the Church�s relationship with different parties such as God, other religions, those outside the Christian faith, the State and its own inner dynamics, the Church will be reminded of its missionary function in the world
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
