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
On the phenomenological 'reactivation' or 'repetition' of Plato's Dialogues by Leo Strauss
No full textThe paper aims to explain the interpretation of Plato’s doctrine of ideas as advanced by Leo Strauss in one of his first works dealing with Hobbes (The Political Philosophy of Hobbes: Its Basis and Its Genesis, 1935). According to this interpretation, the theory of the separate existence of ideas is specifically justified by Plato’s awareness that ordinary language is the only gateway to the ultimate causes of things. This interpretation is based, among others, on two passages in the Platonic dialogues, Phaedo 99 c-e and Republic 472 c-e. In the former Socrates speaks of the need to “take refuge in the logoi” in order to avoid being blinded by the sight of sensible things. In the latter, Socrates claims that the purpose of the inquiry into the nature of ideal republic is “not to demonstrate the possibility of the realization of this ideal". The paper shows that Leo Strauss’s hermeneutics of Plato was influenced by the teaching of Husserl and Heidegger, particularly by the need for a critique of the modern way of conceiving the relationship between theory and practice. The excursus on Plato in the book about Hobbes shows in an exemplary way the 'phenomenological function' that Strauss assigns to the hermeneutics of the ancient classics. According to Strauss, the Platonic dialogues and in particular the figure of Socrates shows that philosophy, understood as the pursuit of truth, can never neutralize the conflict with the doxa, understood as the order established by authority. Hence, Platonic dialogues have an intrinsically ‘political’ nature, which requires the reader to perform the difficult task of reactivating the process of liberation from captivity in the world of doxa
