On the Threshold: Conceptual Speculation
This chapter is based on an interview Donna Lee Brien and Kiera Lindsey conducted with Ffion Murphy, who reflects on the life of Australian composer and music critic James Penberthy, AM, and her long involvement with both his story and that of his third wife Kira Bousloff, a former member of the famous Ballet Russes. Artist and organiser, mentor and collaborator, Penberthy's contribution extends beyond his numerous and diverse compositions. He co-founded significant and enduring cultural organisations, including West Australian Ballet and West Australian Opera, and was a determined promoter of Australian music during decades when European artists and composers dominated Australian concert halls, theatres and airwaves, including the programs of the national Australian Broadcasting Corporation (known as the Australian Broadcasting Commission for much of Penberthy's career). The prospective biographer would seek to render elements of Penberthy's personal life alongside cultural transformations he witnessed, participated in and helped to create during several decades of the twentieth century. Coining the term 'conceptual speculation', the chapter speculates on avenues for exploration, and some challenges, including reservations about an outsider to the art form attempting a musician's biography
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
