The South Dakota Negro Year Book, 1962
No full textA 48-page stapled booklet edited and published by then Yankton College senior James E. Ruffin (1937-1996). The publication offers a general narrative of Black history in South Dakota and identifies both historic and modern Black leaders in the state. This includes a Who’s Who of then-current Black college students and information on clubs, churches, and events. The cover story features the family of Maurice Coakley of Sioux Falls. Ads and brief current interest pieces document the era. Ruffin also published the Yankton Negro Year Book in November 1961, which focused on the city’s 73 Black residents and featured the Ted Blakey family on the cover. Blakey (1925-2004) was a Black businessman, historian, and civil rights leader whose family moved to the area from Missouri in the early 1900s. A copy of the 1961 edition can be found in the vertical files under “Black South Dakotans.” It is unknown if editions were published for any other year.

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
