Textanalysen und komiktheoretische Schlüsse
Get PDFUntersucht werden komische Holocaust-Texte und Erzählstrategien von Autorinnen und Autoren der Postmemory-Generation. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass diese Texte ohne die kanonischen Texte der Holocaust-Literatur Überlebender, die ''Lagerliteratur'', undenkbar wären. Analysen komischer Holocaust-Texte von Maxim Biller, Eva Menasse, Edgar Keret und Robert Schindel machen deutlich, wie und warum in diesen Texten gegen klassische Postulate der Komiktheorie verstoßen werden muss. Dabei werden das innovative Potential und die Grenzen komischer Schreibweisen in der Holocaust-Literatur der Postmemory-Generation herausgearbeitet. Gleichzeitig werden auf Grundlage der Textanalysen die Komiktheorien selbst hinterfragt und Kategorien wie Groteske, Humor, absurde Komik und Zynismus einer Analyse unterzogen. Diese Veröffentlichung geht zurück auf eine Magisterarbeit am Institut für deutsche Literatur der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin aus dem Jahr 2006/07.The thesis explores narrative strategies in Holocaust literature by authors of the postmemory generation such as humorous approaches. It shows that texts from the canon of Holocaust literature written by survivors are the presupposition of humorous texts by authors of the postmemory-generation. Novels and stories by Maxim Biller, Eva Menasse, Edgar Keret, and Robert Schindel are analyzed and confronted with key postulates of comic theory. Vice versa comic theory and its categories such as humor, absurdity, grotesque, and cynicism are subjected to critical analysis
Verspätet, verkrüppelt, verschlissen, verkalkt. Zur „negativen” Poetologie des ostdeutschen Dichters Wolfgang Hilbig (vor und nach 1989)
Get PDFDelayed, Crippled, Worn Out, Calcified. The „Negative” Poetics of the East German Poet Wolfgang Hilbig (before and after 1989). Is Wolfgang Hilbig (b. 1941) a GDR author? He published his first book when he was 40 in West Germany. Why do his texts nevertheless belong to GDR literature? Because he was a worker turned poet? Hilbig is one of the few recipients of the Büchner Prize from a proletarian background. His texts bear traces of this background, but have little in common with traditional “proletarian literature”. Hilbig’s point of view is always retrospective, focussed on the historical and genealogical-personal past. The protagonists of his tales and novels reject any utopian mode. Physical labor is never idealized; workers appear as a group of people who not only cannot articulate their interests, they do not know what they are. Tongue-tied, they have nothing with which to counter the empty propaganda phrases of the functionaries. While the majority of GDR writers operated for decades in basic agreement with the social project of socialism, Hilbig did not, not even in his earliest prose and poetry. His firstperson figures are always burdened with more past than they could possibly have future. His literary landscapes are contaminated with historical guilt for the murder of the Jews, on the one hand, and for the ravages of unrestrained industrialization. Signs of contemporary human violence against nature merge with historical violent crime in the work of this author. Socialized in the context of the GDR’s antifascist founding myth, Hilbig frees the guilt discourse from its abstractness, and instead localizes and personalizes, even embodies it
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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
