Radical Echoes through Antagonistic Symbiosis:How Far-Right Extremism and Political Islamists Shape Global Polarization
No full textThis study explores the intricate and interdependent relationship between far-right ex-tremism in Europe and political Islamist movements with anti-Western perspectives in the Islamic world, highlighting how both entities construct antagonistic narratives to sustain their exclusionary and anti-democratic agendas. A defining feature of far-right extremism in Europe is its alignment around anti-Muslim and anti-Islam rhetoric, which has significantly contributed to the rise of anti-migrant and Islamophobic sentiment across the continent – emerging as the primary hallmark of far-right ideology. Similarly, political Islamist movements are characterized by their anti-Western and anti-democratic perspectives, further entrenching this cycle of mutual antagonism. Using a rigorous methodological framework, this research employs semiotic and discourse analysis to examine key themes in 50 speeches delivered by leaders of European far-right parties and figures from political Islamist movements across the Islamic world, includ-ing prominent actors such as Hezbollah, Iran, and Turkey. Analytical tools, including NVivo and Atlas.ti for qualitative coding and LIWC for sentiment analysis, were employed to map interwoven narratives of identity, migration, and security. The findings reveal that European far-right leaders unite around framing Muslim migrants as existential threats to national identity, economic stability, and cultural cohesion, intensifying social divi-sions and securitizing migration. Conversely, political Islamist actors exploit Western Islamophobia and migration anxieties, attributing regional poverty, authoritarian rheto-ric and instability to Western interventions, sanctions, and perceived cultural aggres-sion. Both movements rely on reciprocal narratives of fear and victimization, amplifying their political legitimacy while systematically undermining democratic values. By expos-ing the mutual reinforcement of these ideologies, the paper provides a nuanced under-standing of how their interdependence exacerbates global democratic decline and de-stabilizes governance systems

"There is an undercover movement" : the importance of non-state and transnational actors in the spread of fertility regulation in Mexico (1968 - 1985)
No full textA limited population growth with the spread of fertility regulation was no state aim in the 1960s Mexico, till the early 1970s brought radical changes. Until now population policy in Mexico from the 1960s to 1980s was seen as lead and controlled by the central government. But the dissertations can show which and that transnational influences were behind changes, how governments as the US found ways to influence and change policy without acting obviously. Central actors in this field, transnationally and in Mexico, were non-state actors in their connecting networks. The dissertation not only shows and contextualizes fertility regulation and policies concerning in this time in Mexico in a new way, close to sources from Mexico, the US and elsewhere. It shows how communication, sciences or education were instrumentalized to spread transnational and non-state ideals and arguments, marked and presented as Mexican and state ideals and arguments. This "undercover movement" is discovered and differentiated shown

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
