Blood, Cross and Flag : The Influence of Race on Ku Klux Klan Theology in the 1920s
No full textThis article addresses the influence of race on Ku Klux Klan theology in the 1920s in order to highlight possible relations between Protestant theology and white radical nationalism. Through the analytical concept of ‘racial exegesis’—meaning a biblically based view on the supposed origin of human races—the main argument is that the Klan did not invent anything in the racial and theological domains. The Klan’s self-proclaimed mission to uphold white Protestant hegemony in America resulted not only in the identification of imagined racial and cultural threats. As important were mythical interpretations of history, according to which the white race was believed to be destined by God to thrive on American soil. The synthesis of racial ideology and Protestant theology in the Klan resulted in a self-identified vanguard of white, native-born, Protestant Americans seeking to follow Christ as ‘Criterion of Character’ by which Klansmen hoped to enhance the resurgence of American nation in accordance with the Founding Fathers’ alleged religious and racial ideals

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
Race and Liberal Theology [Elektronisk resurs] : Sveriges Religiösa Reformförbund in Interwar Sweden
No full textKlerikal fascism : En deskriptiv innehållsanalys av Sveriges Religiösa Reformförbund, 1929-1950
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to examine how Christianity and fascism can be concatenated. The thesis has been conducted as a descriptive content analysis of the Swedish Association of Religious Reform (Sveriges Religiösa Reformförbund), established in 1929. In order to identify the Association’s socio-theological project and agenda, a Foucauldian inspired social constructionism theory has been applied. This thesis argues that by relying on a mission to ‘complete’ the Lutheran Reformation, which considered religion and culture alike, the Association’s struggle for a religious ‘rebirth’ also referred to the rebirth of Swedish culture and society. This assumption was correlated with contemporary conceptions of ‘race’ and Jews, culminating into the perception of Jesus as a masculine Aryan ideal
The Nordic Spirit and Race Psychology : Racial Conceptions of the North in Interwar Swedish National Socialism
No full textThis article aims to analyse how national socialists in interwar Sweden construedand utilised ideas of a “Nordic spirit” and “race psychology” in relation totheir racial conceptions of the north. After briefly depicting the emergenceof various race theories with a particular emphasis on Nordicism, I highlighthow the Manhem Society (Samfundet Manhem) construed ideas of a Nordicspirit, and then display how the National Socialist Workers’ Party (Nationalsocialistiska Arbetarepartiet) elaborated on issues relating to race psychology. Iargue that racial conceptions of the north were part of how interwar Swedishnational socialists navigated the contested terrain of what was then modernrace thinking in order to determine the alleged racial foundations of a Nordicsense of being. The Manhem Society’s racial conceptions of the north werelargely based on ideas of a Nordic spirit comprising an alternative trinitarianbelief that was considered hidden but present in the Swedish people’s bloodand soil, whereas the NSAP elaborated on how the internal (soul) related tothe external (body). I conclude that a premise for studying relations betweenesoteric ideas and fascist/national socialist thought in an interwar Scandinaviancontext is to focus on careful historical contextualisation and avoid popularoversimplification
