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
Educated for peace by war literature?
Full text linkEin Jahrzehnt nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs drängte das rational nicht bewältigte Kriegserlebnis zu einer literarischen Gestaltung, die in wenigen Jahren ein Ausmaß erreichte, das - jetzt innerhalb der Epik - nur mit der Kriegslyrik um 1914 vergleichbar ist. Pazifisten und Nationalisten befürchten aus extrem unterschiedlichem Grund, daß der Krieg in Vergessenheit geraten könne. Der sensationelle Erfolg von Remarques Roman signalisierte ein weniger rational als emotional erwachtes Bewußtsein („Nie wieder Krieg!“) und aktivierte die extreme Rechte. Den Nationalsozialisten diente die Kriegsliteratur - wie der Langemarck-Mythos eindrucksvoll zeigt - der schulischen und außerschulischen Erziehung zum Tode und zur Begeisterung für einen neuen Krieg. Der Friede erschien als Krieg mit anderen Mitteln, und die Widerspiegelung im nationalen Frontroman wurde zur Norm und zum Gesetz des Handelns im Frieden. (DIPF/Orig.

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
Texte zur Theorie der Fabeln, Parabeln und Gleichnisse
No full textI am surprised that we did not yet have this book, especially since I am aware of Dithmar's work. From Aristotle to Arntzen: would I ever love to have this as a textbook for a graduate course! So many challenging theories! The contributors are grouped by era. All sorts of people join the conversation along the way, including Marie de France, Ulrich Boner, Heinrich Steinhöwel, Jean de La Fontaine, Gotthold Lessing, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Jacob Grimm, Bertold Brecht. What fun! 230 pages. 4¼" x 7". T of C at the beginning.Language note: GermanFirst editionReinhard Dithma
