    RESUMEN: Cathalina del Spiritu Sancto, la autora de la Relación de cómo se ha fundado en Alcantara de Portugal iunto a Lisboa el muy devoto monasterio de N.S. de la Quietación (1627), dedica una parte de su texto a la descripción de su vida personal, lo que da pie al interés por ampliar el conocimiento de la vida de esta religiosa, que se repartió entre los Países Bajos y la Península Ibérica. No se conocen otros textos de su mano. En esta contribución se estudia la información hallada sobre ella y su padre en los Países Bajos y la de sus familiares españoles.ABSTRACT: Cathalina del Spiritu Sancto, the author of the Relacion de cómo se ha fundado en Alcántara de Portugal iunto a Lisboa el muy devoto monasterio de N.S. de la Quietación (1627), dedicates part of her text to the description of her personal life, fomenting in this way interest in aumenting our knowledge about the life of this religious author, dividing her life between the Low Countries and the Iberian Peninsula. There are no other known texts by this author. In this contribution, both the documentation on her father and herself in the Low Countries, as well as that regarding her ancestry and her Spanish relatives, are studied

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We 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

    The origins of the Spanish fury at Antwerp (1576): a battle within city walls

    Get PDF
    The Spanish Fury at Antwerp is one of the most emblematic events in the history of the Revolt in the Low Countries; it has become a symbol of blind violence and of cruelty against defenceless women and children. However, the story is not as simple as has been accounted for in historiography. Was it a mutiny that turned into the plundering of the city, or was it a battle within city walls between professional soldiers that subsequently led to pillaging? This question will be answered by going back to the earliest descriptions of the events and by charting and comparing the evolution of successive narratives in detail. The analysis will combine textual and visual sources, such as pamphlets, correspondences, chronicles, theatre plays, historical works, and engravings.Collective identities and transnational networks in medieval and early modern Europe, 1000-180
