Retour aux ordres. David Watkin (1941-2018) : l’écriture de l’histoire de l’architecture et le réveil conservateur
No full textCe texte propose d’explorer l’approche méthodologique de l’historien de l’architecture David Watkin et, à travers elle, son dessein politique. À Peterhouse, University of Cambridge, où l’historien siège depuis 1970, s’est constitué un cercle conservateur d’intellectuels de tous horizons disciplinaires déterminés à donner une réponse académique aux revendications égalitaristes à l’œuvre au sein de l’université. L’architecture y occupe une place centrale : l’intérêt renouvelé pour le vocabulaire classique, étudié et enseigné par Watkin au sein du département d’histoire de l’art, doit réinstaurer un ordre social en réhabilitant les ordres d’architecture. À l’heure où l’histoire de l’architecture, en tant que discipline universitaire, interroge son rôle eu égard aux enjeux contemporains, il semble opportun de se demander comment ses historiens, dans une société en plein bouleversement sociopolitique, ont pu confronter leurs méthodologies, ériger des contre-récits et, en conséquence, renouveler leurs stratégies discursives.This article explores the methodological approach of architecture historian David Watkin and his underlying political intent. From 1970 on, Watkin was a fellow at Peterhouse, the oldest of Cambridge University’s colleges, where a circle of conservative intellectuals from all disciplines were attempting to provide an academic response to the egalitarian claims emerging within the university. Architecture played a central role through the revival of interest in the classical vocabulary, as it was studied and taught by Watkin in the Art History department, in view of re-establishing social order through a revival of the architectural orders. At a time when architecture history as an academic discipline is questioning its role with regard to contemporary issues, it seems useful to ask how its own historians, in a society undergoing profound sociopolitical changes, have compared their methodologies and created counter-narratives in order to renew their discursive strategies.In diesem Text befassen wir uns mit dem methodologischen Ansatz des Architekturhistorikers David Watkin und davon ausgehend, mit seinen politischen Erwägungen. An der University of Cambridge in Peterhouse, wo der Historiker seit 1970 arbeitete, bildete sich ein konservativer Kreis von Intellektuellen aus allen möglichen disziplinären Bereichen mit dem Zweck, den innerhalb der Universität agierenden Anhängern des Egalitarismus eine akademische Antwort zu liefern. Die Architektur nimmt dabei einen zentralen Platz ein: Dank des erneut zunehmenden Interesses an der von Watkin innerhalb der kunstgeschichtlichen Abteilung erforschten und unterrichteten klassischen Terminologie, sollte mit der Rehabilitation der Säulenordnung auch wieder eine soziale Ordnung hergestellt werden. Da die Architekturgeschichte als universitäre Disziplin ihre Rolle nun angesichts der zeitgenössischen Herausforderungen hinterfragt, bietet sich wohl eine passende Gelegenheit, sich darüber Gedanken zu machen, wie in einer sich in totaler sozialer und politischer Umwälzung befindlichen Gesellschaft die Historiker ihre jeweilige Methodik einander gegenüberstellen, Kontranarrative produzieren und in der Folge ihre diskursiven Strategien erneuern konnten.Questo testo esplora l’approccio metodologico dello storico dell’architettura David Watkin e, attraverso di esso, il suo intento politico. A Peterhouse, University of Cambridge, dove lo storico è strutturato dal 1970, si è formato un circolo conservatore di intellettuali di ogni provenienza disciplinare, deciso a fornire una risposta accademica alle istanze egualitarie in atto all’interno dell’università. L’architettura svolge un ruolo centrale: il rinnovato interesse per il vocabolario classico, studiato e insegnato da Watkin nel dipartimento di storia dell’arte deve ristabilire un ordine sociale riabilitando gli ordini architettonici. In un momento in cui la storia dell’architettura come disciplina accademica si interroga sul suo ruolo in relazione alla contemporaneità, sembra opportuno chiedersi come i suoi storici, in una società in preda a sconvolgimenti sociopolitici, siano stati in grado di confrontare le loro metodologie, costruire contro-narrazioni e, di conseguenza, rinnovare le loro strategie discorsive.En este texto se propone una exploración de la metodología del historiador de la arquitectura David Watkin y, a través de ella, de su proyecto político. David Watkin fue miembro desde 1970 de la University of Cambridge, en Peterhouse, donde un círculo conservador de intelectuales de diversos horizontes disciplinarios buscó dar una respuesta académica a las reivindicaciones igualitaristas puestas en obra en el seno de esa universidad. En este contexto, la arquitectura ocupó un lugar central: el renovado interés por el vocabulario clásico, estudiado y enseñado por Watkin en el departamento de historia de arte, debe reinstaurar un orden social al rehabilitar los órdenes de la arquitectura. En un momento en el que la arquitectura, en tanto que disciplina, se enfrenta a distintas problemáticas contemporáneas y se interroga por su rol en ellas, es oportuno preguntarse cómo estos historiadores, en una sociedad en pleno cambio sociopolítico, han puesto a prueba sus metodologías, erigido contra-relatos y, en consecuencia, renovado sus estrategias discursivas
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
