Get PDFIntroduction
Get PDFThe following articles are selected from the papers presented at the International
Congress on the Social History of Alcohol in 1993. In their focus either on drinking
practices or on social responses to drinking, they exemplify the primary concerns
of alcohol history. Approaches are often interdisciplinary, exploiting new types of
sources such as material culture and oral history as well as exploring new uses of
traditional documentary sources. These studies invite comparison among the
experiences with alcohol of various societies and suggest the utility for social
historians of examining international discourses over the use and governance of a
set of substances persistently intertwined in human affairs.Les articles suivants ont été choisis parmi ceux qui ont été présentés à l'occasion
du International Congress on the Social History of Alcohol, en 1993. Ils portent sur
les habitudes de consommation d'alcool ou les réactions de la société face à la
consommation d'alcool et illustrent ainsi les principales préoccupations de l'histoire
de l'alcool. Les auteurs adoptent souvent une démarche pluridisciplinaire et exploitent
de nouvelles sources, telles que la culture matérielle et l'histoire orale, et
examinent de nouvelles façons d'utiliser les sources documentaires traditionnelles.
Ces études incitent à comparer les expériences vécues par diverses sociétés au
chapitre de l'alcool et démontrent l'utilité pour l'historien social d'étudier les
traités internationaux sur la consommation et la gestion de substances qui ont
toujours été intimement liées à la vie des hommes
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
