Opening the lens to see, feel and hear : using autoethnographic textual and visual methods to examine gender and telephony
No full textIn this chapter we present a collaborative autoethnographic inquiry using a case study whereby we document our own 'telephone lives' over a period of seven weeks to examine how the telephone transgresses physical space for the interaction of emotional and social relationships. This case study provides an example of the purposes and outcomes of using autoethnography in social work. We draw on a mix of visual and textual methods specifically diary notes, memory work and photography. We suggest that our methodological approach and methods bring forth the complex and lived experiences of gender and in this case gerder and telephony that are not likely to emerge via quantitative studies or traditional qualitative methods based on interviews. The telephone as a material cultural artefact is a medium through which social relations and emotions are transmitted, shaped, altered and given meaning in context which span both place and space. To date, social work research has rarely explored the interstices between material artefacts and cultural and how these shape social relations. This chapter examines the interrelationships between the material and the social using textual and visual methods to enable analyses of gender and embodiment in relation to women's paid and unpaid working lives across space and time
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
