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
Jewish Presences in Portugal: Between History and Memory
No full textThe history of the Jews in Portugal is often divided into three distinct periods: what I call the “time of the Jews”, the “time of the Inquisition” and the “time of return”. In this article, I will argue that the particular role played by the personal and collective multiple memories in each of these historical periods (by analyzing an array of primary and secondary sources, including medieval chronicles, inquisitorial sources and historiographical works), paradoxically blurs their chronological contours (namely, before 1497, between 1536 and 1821 and afterwards), and transforms the Jewish presence in Portugal into a challenging issue, from both a Jewish and a non-Jewish perspective, with far reaching biopolitical implications

No full textDans cet article, l’auteur se propose de revisiter la polémique soulevée par l’essai de Werner Sombart (Les Juifs et la vie économique, 1911), selon lequel l’origine religieuse du capitalisme n’était pas à chercher dans le Calvinisme, mais bien dans le Judaïsme. Il s’agit ainsi d’étudier, à travers l’examen d’un certain nombre de textes produits notamment par des individus issus de la communauté juive portugaise les fondements du lien présumé entre communauté juive et succès économique. Ainsi, dépassant les termes du débat institué entre Sombart et ses contradicteurs, l’auteur s’interroge sur la possibilité d’une relation entre leur origine ethnique ou religieuse et l’image de richesse attachée aux conversos portugais.En este artículo el autor se propone volver sobre la polémica desencadenada por el ensayo de Werner Sombart (Los judíos y la vida económica, 1911), según el cual el origen religioso del capitalismo no se hallaba en el Calvinismo sino más bien en el Judaísmo. Se trata así de estudiar, a través del examen de ciertos textos producidos concretamente por individuos pertenecientes a la comunidad judía portuguesa, los fundamentos del vínculo supuesto entre comunidad judía y éxito económico. Así, más allá de los términos del debate instituido entre Sombart y sus contradictores, el autor se plantea la posibilidad de una relación entre su origen étnico o religioso y la imagen de riqueza vinculada con los conversos portugueses.In this article the author intends to revisit the argument raised by Werner Sombart’s essay (The Jews and Modern Capitalism, 1911), which suggests that the religious origin of capitalism was not to be sought in Calvinism, but in Judaism. Using various texts including some written by members of the Jewish Portuguese community and minutes from inquisition trials against New Christians, the article aims to study the founding principles of the supposed link between the Jewish community and economical success. Thus, going beyond the terms of the debate between Sombart and his adversaries, the author explores the possibility of a relationship between their ethnic or religious origin and the image of wealth that was attached to Portuguese New Christians
