Youth Cultures and Stiles
No full textThe article analyzes the importance of style-formation processes in youth cultures. Starting from an analysis of social structures on the basis of a sociology of culture important readings of the debate on youth (sub)cultures within the social sciences are being reconstructed. In reference to British youth-research centered around the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) the article then traces the complex interrelations between the development of styles and youth culture. The author concludes that multifarious cultural processes of change in style - within the context of shiftings of cultural power - indicate that we should no longer speak of youth (sub)cultures, but rather of youth cultures, and better drop the emphatic ,sub’.The article analyzes the importance of style-formation processes in youth cultures.

Sozialarbeit als "bescheidene" Profession
Get PDFDer Verfasser analysiert die Paradoxien professionellen Handelns in der Sozialpädagogik/-arbeit. Er versucht nachzuweisen, "daß das von Etzioni und anderen in die professionstheoretische Diskussion eingeführte Konstrukt des Semi-Professionellen, welches besonders in der Diskussion um professionelle Sozialarbeit großen Anklang gefunden hatte, zu einer sachhaltigen Bestimmung professioneller Bedingungen und Möglichkeiten des Handelns in diesem Feld wenig beitragen kann". Die professionellen Bewältigungsstrategien des sozialpädagogischen Berufsalltags zeigen, daß "gerade die Sozialarbeit, die in der bisherigen Diskussion immer als 'minor-profession' eingestuft wurde, aus strukturtheoretischer Perspektive als Trendsetter zukünftiger Professionsentwicklung anzusehen" ist.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
