Cai Yan and Wang Zhaojun: Living with Barbarians
No full textWang Zhaojun was a palace lady to Emperor Yuan of the Han dynasty (206BCE-8CE). During this time, Emperor Yuan ordered that some palace ladies be sent to the northern country of Xiongnu to ensure the political stability of the region. Because of Wang Zhaojun\u27s unflattering portrait (due to her refusal to bribe the painter), the Emperor chose her to be the political bride of the Xiongnu prince and to live with the Xiongnu people (often referred to as barbarians by the Chinese at this time). Similar to Wang Zhaojun, Cai Yan (b. 177BCE) was abducted and forced to live with the Xiongnu people for 12 years. It is said that both Wang Zhaojun and Cai Yan wrote poetry about the sorrow they felt at having to live with the nomadic tribes. The stories of Wang Zhaojun and Cai Yan depict the growth in ethnic self-consciousness in China and how the Chinese felt about nomadic and non-Chinese people living outside of Han territory

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
