Religious Elements in Selected Works from Benjamin Stein and Navid Kermani
No full textDiese Studie untersucht anhand ausgewählter Werke Benjamin Steins und Navid
Kermanis, welche Bedeutung muslimische und jüdische religiöse Elemente in
zeitgenössischen deutschsprachigen Erzähltexten haben. Dabei analysiert sie,
wie die Werke beider Autoren Wissensbestände religiöser Traditionen
reflektieren und inwieweit den Texten selbst religiöse Funktionen zukommen.
Die Werke zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sich in ihnen jüdische und
judaistische bzw. muslimische und islamwissenschaftliche Diskurse bedingen und
überlagern. Dabei sind die sehr unterschiedlichen und komplexen Poetiken der
Autoren hochgradig intertextuell und autofiktional. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass
einige von Navid Kermanis Texten nicht nur Annäherungen an das Numinose
beschreiben, sondern diese selbst vollziehen und der Autor seine Kunst als
eine Art Gottesdienst verstehen will. Sie weist Benjamin Stein nach, dass er
mit seinen Texten versucht, eine Begründung zu liefern für die Notwendigkeit
zu glauben. Diese über den Bereich des Literarischen hinausstrebenden
Aufgaben der literarischen Werke unterscheiden die Texte beider Autoren von
anderen Werken religiös interessierter zeitgenössischer Schriftstellerinnen
und Schriftsteller. Die Analysen blicken daher im Verlauf der Studie auch auf
die literarischen Felder, in denen Benjamin Stein und Navid Kermani verortet
werden können, insbesondere auf die deutsch-jüdische Gegenwartsliteratur.This thesis analyzes selected literary works from German authors Benjamin
Stein and Navid Kermani in order to illustrate the meaning and status of
Jewish and Muslim religious elements in contemporary German language
literature. It analyzes both how the authors reflect upon religious traditions
in their work and how their texts tend to fulfil religious purposes
themselves. The novels and stories by the authors stand out because of their
technique of interrelating meta-reflexive literary discourse with topics and
motifs from the Jewish and Muslim traditions as well as from Jewish and
Islamic Studies. This interconnectedness of literary and religious discourse
leads to a highly intertextual and autobiographical poetics. The study shows
that some of Navid Kermani’s texts strive to approximate to the void of
mystical encounters. It also discusses how he understands his literary work as
a praise of God. Benjamin Stein, however, attempts to prove the necessity of
believing in God with his texts. Those elements of the works by both authors
set them apart from their respective literary fields
Ebraismo e letteratura tedesca contemporanea: incontri con Benjamin Stein, Katja Petrowksaja e Wladimir Kaminer
No full textNel periodo febbraio-aprile 2018 gli autori Benjamin Stein, Katja Petrowskaja e Wladimir Kaminer sono stati ospiti di RE.T.E. (Rete Toscana Ebraica), Università di Pisa e Università degli Studi di Milano. Gli incontri, realizzati grazie alla collaborazione di Laura Forti (RE.T.E.), Marco Castellari (UniMi) e Serena Grazzini (UniPi), sono nati dal progetto Balabrunch con autore di RE.T.E., promosso da Laura Forti, nella sua qualità di Responsabile Cultura della Comunità ebraica di Firenze, e dalla Rete delle Comunità ebraiche di Firenze, Livorno, Pisa e Siena. Il progetto rientra in un programma culturale più ampio, tramite il quale le Comunità ebraiche toscane promuovono ormai da diversi anni la conoscenza di un ebraismo moderno e contemporaneo, con l’intento di creare momenti interattivi di confronto con le città e i territori pertinenti su temi di rilievo relativi sia alla storia del Novecento, sia alla contemporaneità
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
