    Digitale Mediävistik

    A lot has been accomplished since medieval studies embarked upon a digital turn in the late 1940s. Today, medievalists are not only able to access a number of essential resources and tools online, but the research process itself has become primarily digital. In this article, we provide a brief overview of existing resources for medievalists and discuss current spheres of digital activity in medieval studies, namely 1) handwritten text and optical character recognition, digital paleography and codicology, 2) digital editing, 3) text analysis, 4) data visualization, 5) transfer and integration of digital competencies, and 6) scholarly communication and digital publishing. In conclusion, we argue for a combination or even fusion of traditional methods used by medievalists with those from the Digital Humanities, to bridge the gap between analogue and digital forms of scholarship and to enable a combination of both approaches

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Le volume en question rassemble huit études centrées sur des textes datant de différentes époques, du Livre de la Genèse à une nouvelle du xve siècle. Il s’agit donc d’études exemplaires qui se penchent sur des textes avec des perspectives très diverses, qui sont le résultat d’un colloque scientifique sur la mania platonique. Le trait commun des contributions publiées, l’extase et la folie, est défini d’après Michel Foucault comme un comportement déviant de la norme sociale, causé par une « ..

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    We 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

    Die Frage der Ehre. Ehre und Schande in den Romanen Chrétiens de Troyes

    No full text
    In der Rittergesellschaft des Artusromans ist die Ehre das Ziel jedes Ritters, höfisches Verhalten und erfolgreiche Kämpfe sind die Mittel, um Ehre zu erlangen. Ehre bedarf dabei immer der Bestätigung durch ein Gegenüber, sie wird wohl durch besondere Leistungen erworben, ohne die Anerkennung durch die Gesellschaft erwächst aus einer solchen Leistung aber keine Ehre. In der narrativen Grundkonzeption der Artusromane Chrétiens de Troyes, die im Folgenden näher untersucht werden, spielen der Verlust der Ehre und deren Wiedergewinnen eine zentrale Rolle. Von Roman zu Roman ändert Chrétien dabei die Fragestellung und zeigt auf, wie komplex die Frage nach der Ehre ist
