Capital Grant Funding : A Research Report
No full textIn May 2015 the Clothworkers' Foundation commissioned new research on the current provision of capital grant funding to the voluntary sector, with the particular aim of informing the Foundation's five-yearly strategy review. This report has been compiled to make the detailed findings of the study more widely available. It provides a comprehensive picture of the current scale and scope of capital grant funding by independent charitable foundations, and the perspectives of funders, applicants and grantees on emerging trends and issues.The research was carried out in association with the Centre for Giving and Philanthropy, Cass Business School and the Association of Charitable Foundations, and conducted by Cathy Pharoah, Catherine Walker and Richard Jenkins
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
Catherine Walker: 25 Years of British Couture, 1977-2002
No full textUntil the 1970s fashion history and curation privileged elite Parisian haute couture. Subsequently radical fashion, world dress and sub-cultural style have been fore-grounded. This project was commissioned by the V&A to redress this balance, focusing upon London couture, an area of British fashion which lacked academic and museological scrutiny. I case studied the work of leading couturier Catherine Walker.
My research questions in curating this exhibition were to compare this business with the Parisian industry (identical apart from not staging a show); to identify the couturiers signatures (influenced by 1930s bias cuts and flesh tones; lingerie; flowers and a preoccupation with flattering the feminine body) and reveal the commissioning and crafting of a couture garment. This evidence was not in the public domain. I contextualized Walker’s work within a continuum of London couture by examining the paper and clothing archives of historical couturiers at the V&A; and undertook research at Vogue House and LCF’s Special Collections.
Curatorial processes involved selecting and displaying garments, and writing exhibition texts, which engaged with the research themes. The accompanying book, (exhibition legacy and dissemination) forms the first academic scrutiny of a contemporary London couturier’s work and history of this previously overlooked area of London fashion
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
