‘IT'S NOT SOMETHING ONE CAN DELIBERATELY SET OUT TO DO’: CHRISTIAN WOLFF IN CONVERSATION
No full textABSTRACTIn 2002 Christian Wolff was a guest composer at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and during the course of the festival he was interviewed by Christopher Fox and by James Gardner. Fox's interview took place before an audience in the Lawrence Batley Theatre on 25 November; Gardner's interview was recorded in private in the George Hotel, Huddersfield on 27 November, and edited excerpts from that recording were subsequently used in a programme produced by Radio New Zealand. The conversation presented here has been compiled by James Gardner from his transcriptions of the two interviews and presents a wide-ranging discussion of Wolff's musical preoccupations across every phase of his compositional career, from the early piano pieces of the 1950s, to his involvement with indeterminacy in the 1960s, to the political concerns evident in his music after 1970, to the works of the last three decades in which indeterminate and determinate methods of composition are combined.</jats:p
Remarkable Lives: Christopher Fox in conversation with Jerome Carson
Full text linkPurpose – The purpose of the paper is to provide a profile of Christopher Fox.
Design/methodology/approach – Christopher provides a short biographical account of his life thus
far. He is then interviewed by Jerome. He describes how he has coped with serious depression.
Findings – Christopher claims that he owes his own life to two things, Philosophy and his close friend
Helena.
Research limitations/implications – The wide diversity of first person accounts shows the necessity
of collecting them as they reflect the lived experience of people battling with serious mental health
problems. The personal is often lost in the quantitative world of “p values” and statistical tests.
Practical implications – Christopher mentions being helped by numerous informal chats with peers
rather than medication and focussed psychological therapies.
Social implications – While Christopher drew much sustenance from the works of Nietzsche, he was
most helped by a friend who had been his learning mentor at school. Friendship can be critical in
maintaining hope.
Originality/value – Like many before him, Christopher says he “learnt more about myself in the days
where I sat in the garden (with peer survivors) than in the collective sessions of therapy, CBT or
hospital visits.
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
