    Reseña: Henry E. Brady & David Collier (Eds.) (2004). Rethinking Social Inquiry: Diverse Tools, Shared Standards

    No full text
    Das Buch Rethinking Social Inquiry, herausgegeben von Henry E. BRADY und David COLLIER, ist eine Antwort auf den Band von KING, KEOHANE und VERBA (1994), in dem versucht wird, Standards der quantitativen Forschung in der qualitativen Forschung einzuführen. Die Autoren des hier rezensierten Buchs kritisieren viele der Vorschläge, da sie argumentieren, dass qualitative Forschung anderer Werkzeuge bedürfe. Trotzdem stimmen sie zu, dass die Grundlagen des Forschungsaufbaus ähnlich sind. Das Buch beinhaltet eine umfassende Kritik der Hauptströmung quantitativer Methoden, es beschreibt einen Satz qualitativer Werkzeuge für die Forschung zu Themen wie Forschungsaufbau und -fragestellung, Fallauswahl, Analyse und Theoriebildung. Es behandelt die Frage, wie qualitative und quantitative Ansätze so miteinander verknüpft werden können, dass die analytische "Hebelwirkung" am größten wird – nämlich durch die Definition gemeinsamer Standards. Diese würden es vereinfachen, qualitative und quantitative Werkzeuge in ein und derselben Forschungsarbeit zu verbinden, etwa durch Triangulation, also die Analyse von Daten mit z.B. zwei unterschiedlichen Methoden oder durch Mehrebenen-Analyse. Das Buch ist ein exzellenter Beitrag zur methodologischen Debatte in den Sozialwissenschaften. URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs0602309The book Rethinking Social Inquiry, edited by Henry E.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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
