No full textThis Presentation was by Dr. Dawn Rae Flood on 11th February 2025 in the Archer Library in celebration of Black History Month.
Dawn Rae Flood is an Associate Professor of History at Campion College at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. She is the author of Rape in Chicago: Race, Myth and the Courts (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2012, 2018) and “A Black Panther in the Great White North: Fred Hampton Visits Saskatchewan, 1969,” Journal for the Study of Radicalism, vol. 8 no. 2 (Fall 2014): 21-49. Her research focuses on race and gender relations in a modern, urban setting and radical activist movements in support of social justice. Her research on Fred Hampton’s visit to the Regina Campus of the University of Saskatchewan is currently being developed as a dramatic play and limited-run television series
Proving Rape: Sex, Race, and Representation in Chicago Trials and Society, 1937--1969
No full text"Historically, rape has simultaneously been considered: a ""heinous"" crime; an ""easily made"" accusation; a justification for white racial violence against African American men; an act difficult to complete if a woman truly resisted. This project makes known the strategies used to successfully prosecute rapes in mid-twentieth century Chicago. By demonstrating that women who did not fit a white, sexually pure, middle-class stereotype that the public expected of rape victims helped the State prosecute criminals, this dissertation challenges the belief that only particular cases counted as ""real rapes."" Divorced women, sexually active single women, black women and working-class women all came forward with reports of rape and found support from authorities. Central to the State's rape cases, female victims presented themselves as capable citizens seeking the right to be heard and believed. As the social and trial environments shifted during the 1960s, shielding victims from harsh interrogations gave way to an emphasis on protecting the rights of the accused. Black rape defendants, who had long criticized the Chicago police of discrimination and brutality, found themselves engaged in a series of legal debates about the propriety of investigations. This research reveals how the discourses surrounding crimes of sexual violence encouraged debates about other social concerns, revealing how challenges to racial rape myths inspired new types of civil rights activism in Chicago after World War II. As defendants' rights expanded, victims' rights in the courtroom contracted, curtailing the limited power they previously held as the key witnesses for the State. This shift helped create the hostile environment that modern feminists responded to with efforts to end the ""second rape"" of women who came forward to report sexual attacks."Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T22:23:45Z (GMT).

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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
