Artpool Centrum Badan Artystycznych. Europe: Art’s Spots Budapest.
No full textThis small book discusses the histories and activities of Artpool Art Research Center, Budapest 1979 –2002. It was one of a series of publications produced as part of a four-month project funded by the European Union’s ‘Discovering Europe’ programme. The project, ‘Europe: Art’s Spots’ was curated by Waldemar Tatarczuk and organised by Centrum Kultury, Osrodek Sztuki Performance, Lublin, Poland. It set out to present the work of a selection of the key performance art venues in Europe, including, amongst others: Artpool Art Research Center, Budapest; Het Apollohuis, Eindhoven; E.P.I. Zentrum, Cologne; Polysonneries Festival, Lyon. In addition to being commissioned to produce her book text, Bodor was invited to give a multimedia lecture/presentation, ‘Archiving Performance/Performing the Archive’, that discussed the relationship between performance art and documentation as well as the specific Artpool model of ‘active archive’ in relation to its activities from 1979 to 2002
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
Archives in Motion - "approaches, perspectives, interlinking"
No full textThe text took Bodor’s review of the book, ‘Interarchive. Archivarische Praktiken und Handlungsräume im zeitgenössischen Kunstfeld/Archival Practices and Sites in the Contemporary Art Field’ (Walther König: Lüneburg/Köln, 2002) as its starting point. It discusses recent archival projects, and explores ‘archiving’ in the context of contemporary art practices and how this challenges the traditional role/function of archives. As an element of her Fellowship, a public ‘discussion’ on issues raised by the article was held in Artpool P60 (Artpool’s exhibition space), October 2004. This was chaired by Dr. Péter György (Reader in Art Theory and Media Studies, University of Budapest)
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
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
Flows of Capital:The Video Essay in Contemporary Art
No full textEdited publication accompanying Amy Charlesworth's exhibition at East Street Art's Leeds. The publication draws on Charlesworth's PhD Thesis which examined how the term ‘video-essay’ or ‘film essay’ has gained particular momentum in contemporary art practice and theoretical debates throughout the past twenty years and speficially in relation to the work on Ursula Biemann
Roddy Hunter:Civil Twilight & Other Social Works
No full textThe book results from Bodor’s collaboration with artist Roddy Hunter between 2004 and 2007, prompted by Bodor’s interests in the possibilities of disseminating performance art through archival research in contexts and to audiences beyond those of the original performance. It built on Hunter’s earlier project, ‘Civil Twilight’ (2000-2004), which investigated environments for societal production of civic understanding through a series of durational performances that encouraged discursive public encounters in civic squares and related urban environments.Bodor and Hunter collaborated to document, archive and re-contextualise these works in and for gallery contexts. The exhibition, 'Begin Civil Twilight' (premiered Dartington, September 2005) presented the performances in retrospect through representing their 'concept'. It included original documents and objects, documentation and installations, and audio and video recordings made during the performances and in the archival research period. Six context-specific gallery works based on the artist’s memories and experiences, and involving documentation as source material, completed the exhibition, which was accompanied by a public symposium concerning issues raised by and during the original performances.Using archival documents gathered/created for the exhibition, and transcribed interviews from the research, the book was curated as another, final way of disseminating and contextualising Hunter’s performance practice. While focusing on archival material gathered through Hunter’s and Bodor’s collaboration, research for the publication extended to cover a longer, 15-year strand of Hunter’s practice that he conceives as ‘social works’. Artists John Newling (UK) and Vassya Vassileva (Bulgaria), contributors to the symposium, were commissioned to contribute essays.Supporting portfolio: photo documentation of ‘Begin Civil Twilight’ exhibition (CD); URL for information about ‘Begin CivilTwilight’; copy of wall text from exhibition, jointly authored by Bodor and Hunter; copy of research presentation by Bodor and Hunter as part of Dartington’s annual cross-college research seminar series
