Applying an Intersectional Lens to Chinese Exclusion as seen in Comparing Cartoons from The San Francisco Wasp and Harper’s Weekly
No full textThis paper will provide an intersectional approach in analyzing how Chinese immigrants were depicted in the late 19th century in newspapers on the East Coast versus the West Coast and how these depictions reflected the underlying racial, religious, and class dynamics inside the United States. Through using political cartoons, this article will examine the degree to which newspapers and racially charged cartoons impacted anti-Chinese sentiments at the time, both through the long-lasting effects of the dehumanizing depictions of Chinese immigrants and how the underlying Irish conflict between those on the East and West Coast further impacted anti-Chinese legislation. In analyzing the motivations and influences on the anti-Chinese movement, this article will also examine the role that newspapers played in stirring racial tensions and encouraging hostility and violence towards Chinese immigrants, as well as how this influenced U.S. policy and societal opinions. Examples used in this article come from two prominent newspapers at the time – The San Francisco Wasp and Harper’s Weekly – with most cartoons being illustrated by George Keller and Thomas Nast.
From Caudillos to Congress: Tracing the Rise of Antipolitics in the United States
No full textBy the end of the 1970s, American citizens’ distrust in their government and institutions had rapidly widened. As distrust and instability grew throughout the decade, the Reagan Revolution of the 1980s only deepened this sentiment, with former President Ronald Reagan pinning Americans’ problems on the government itself. As the United States continues to face growing economic, political, and social instability, working to better understand modern issues by analyzing historical patterns of institutional distrust becomes increasingly important. This article applies the antipolitics theory—a framework that requires the complete rejection of “politics” and the vilification of the government—to the context of the United States to highlight the influence of militarized political and social structures on contemporary issues. The persistent lack of faith in government has directly contributed to the rise of antipolitics, driving the rejection of “traditional politics” to the forefront of American government. While antipolitics has traditionally been applied to Latin American countries, this article seeks to use the theory as an analytical lens rather than a direct assertion to offer a diversified perspective on the challenges facing Americans. Specifically, this article explores the potential implications of applying the antipolitics framework to U.S. political and social instability, focusing on the role of the military, religion, and popular resistance in shaping contemporary issues and discourse. This paper will employ a close reading of primary and secondary sources, such as political speeches, government documents, and newspaper articles. While the paper centers on the rise of antipolitics in the U.S., the analysis focuses on the years of 2000-2025, specifically examining how key modern events, particularly the rise of the national security state, have contributed to growing economic, political, and social instability and the spread of antipolitics in traditional structures and institutions in the United States.Histor
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
