Overlevende fra konsentrasjonsleirer i judaistisk sikt
Full text linkThe author gives a short review concerning his scientific investigations on the delayed result of excessive stress, i.e. captivity, torture and stay in concentration camps, on human beings. Based on three monographs, he shows that the delayed results of a stay in a concentration camp can be divided into two main groups. The first were somatic findings, which include, besides tuberculosis and other infectious diseases, the so called “concentration camp syndrome”, characterized by premature aging, disturbances of memory and other signs of brain damage. The other group, psychological disturbances, mainly anxiety, sleep disturbances and nightmares, were very frequent and correlated with psychic disorders during captivity. Recent political changes, showing more or less clear anti-Semitic tendencies, are activating the anxiety states and nightmares of the victims
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
Elie Wiesel – jøde – overlevende – menneske
Full text linkAs many other survivors, Elie Wiesel wanted the world to know what had taken place in the concentration camps. At the same time, however, he felt that these experiences and the victims of the crimes were sacred in a mystical way and should not be profaned by mere description. It was only a series of peculiar circumstances that made him write his first book, The Night. Without knowing it, Wiesel by writing that book started a rescue operation for the survivors of the Nazi camps. Through his books, Wiesel gave their suffering a new meaning and their lives a new content. The history of the world and the Jewish people must not and in despair or indifference

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
