Eventing Europe. Broadcasting and the Mediated Performances of Europe.
No full textStudying the role of broadcasting in the making of europe can help to emphasize technology’s role as central actor in the story of europe’s hidden integration, and — here’s the other side of the story — its fragmentation. This chapter aims to study the history of europe by starting with the idea that broadcast communication was the most powerful and influential means for both national and transnational communication in the twentieth century. The central objective is to problematize europe as a broadcasting space by describing and analysing european radio and television broadcasts originating from the international broadcasting union and the european broadcasting union and by questioning their specific contribution to the medial construction of european and international communication spaces in constantly changing political and cultural environments. In retracing both sound and audiovisual broadcast transmissions in the 1920s, 1930s and 1950s we will link the development of different broadcast technologies (radio and television) to visions of european broadcasting spaces and their role in the continuous reinvention of europe or re-imagination of european identities. Starting with an a priori geographical definition of europe is futile given the need to embed the discursive construction of ‘europe’ into changing material, legal and institutional maps. Here again, the very nature of broadcasting as a transnational or transborder phenomenon with its inevitable spillover effects challenges the classic ways of mapping europe.keywordseuropean programmeeuropean identitydiscursive constructionnational nightbroadcast communicationthese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

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
