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

No full textVariations 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
Bemerkungen zur Subversion des liturgischen Theaters in Portugal durch profane Themen
No full textComo consequência da nova apreciação filosófica do Mundo e da nova concepção teatral daí resultante, o teatro litúrgico português, ao finalizar a Idade Média, é profundaente abalado e subvertido pela introdução de uma profusão de temas profanos. É sobre este processo, o qual reflecte uma transformação da sociedade e, por consequência das mentalidades, que se irá debruçar este artigo. O mesmo irá reflectir, por um lado, a discrepância entre a cultura popular medieval e a cultura oficial. Por outro, procurará demonstrar que a coexistência destas duas culturas, se tornou em algo fundamental para a perpetuação dessa mesma ordem. Trata-se pois de uma pequena incursão sobre o status autorizado de um 'mundo às avessas', durante algumas épocas do calendário litúrgico. É, utilizando a terminologia bachtiniana, a história de uma fase da luta do RISO contra 'status quo ante'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Die starke Theatralik einiger biblischer Episoden aus dem Alten, bzw. Neuem Testament oder aus dem Jüngsten Gericht und deren Assoziation zu liturgischen Feierlichkeiten wie Weinachten und Ostern trugen wesentlich zur Verbreitung bekannter 'Tropen' bei, wie z.B. dem berühmten "Quem quaeritis?", welche in den Kirchen inszeniert wurden. Mit Hilfe des Theaters versuchte die Kirche den Menschen im Mittelalter der Doktrin eine sensible, didaktische und plastische Form zu verleihen. Das ganze Jahr über organisierte sie ein Repertoire, welches den zwei großen Zyklen des liturgischen Kalenders entsprach. Liturgi
Aspekte darstellender Kunst in Mosambik. Tradition und Gegenwart
No full textA reflexão sobre o teatro tradicional africano em geral e, neste caso, sobre o teatro moçambicano em particular, implica a necessária revisão de algumas concepções teatrais mais conservadoras. Tal se coloca quando discutimos sobre o conceito Teatro, levantando-se aí várias questões, nomeadamente até que ponto se deve entender aquele como a denominação de uma representação cénica de uma história ou acontecimento com implicações internas, ou externas à comunidade, durante a qual se estabelece uma comunicação artística entre aqueles que agem (actores/bailarinos) e aqueles que reagem (espectadores). Até que ponto podem ser consideradas danças/representações de carácter ritual, também como formas teatrais? Neste contexto pretendo-se abordar neste artigo as implicações do Mapico e do Ndau nas respectivas comunidades onde são realizadas, sobre o seu potencial estético-filosófico, bem como sobre a sua natureza deontológica. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Der Mapico und Ndau sind archaische ritualisierte Theaterformen, die in der Tradition der großen afrikanischen performativen Manifestationen stehen. Mittel der Körpersprache sind Marksteine der mündlich überlieferten Tradition, sowohl als Traditionsträger, als auch Traditionsvermittler. Diese vom Text unabhängigen theatralen Manifestationen beinhalten nicht nur Elemente der sozialen und politischen Satire und Parodie, sondern auch Elemente der oralen Lobdichtung. Sie bezwecken die Regelung der sozialen Positionierung des Geschlechts innerhalb einer patriarchalischen Gesellschaft und haben zugleich eine pädagogisch-initiatoriscche Funktion
Der italienische Mezzogiorno auf dem Weg in die europäische Wissensgesellschaft
Full text linkDer Übergang Europas in die Wissensgesellschaft ist durch die massive Ausbreitung wissenschaftlichen Wissens und dessen Eindringen in den ökonomischen Produktionsprozess gekennzeichnet. Für die Teilnahme von Regionen an der Wissensgesellschaft ist die Ausbildung junger Akademiker und deren Integration in den regionalen Arbeitsmarkt von entscheidender Bedeutung. In dieser Perspektive wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit die Erwerbssituation und die regionale Mobilität italienischer Hochschulabsolventen aus dem Mezzogiorno betrachtet. Die Untersuchung erfolgt anhand von zwei methodischen Ansätzen. Im ersten empirischen Teil wird umfangreiches Datenmaterial, u.a. die Hochschulabsolventenbefragung des italienischen Statistikamts, ausgewertet. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass der italienische Mezzogiorno trotz vergleichsweise niedriger Absolventenzahlen von einer extremen Jungakademikerarbeitslosigkeit gekennzeichnet ist: Zudem verlassen viele junge Süditaliener vor Studienbeginn oder nach Studienende ihre Heimat, um in Nord- oder Mittelitalien eine Arbeit zu finden, so dass von einem regelrechten Brain drain gesprochen werden kann. Im zweiten empirischen Teil der Arbeit werden in einer hermeneutischen Perspektive sowohl die Erwerbssituation als auch die Mobilitätsbereitschaft von Hochschulabsolventen in Sizilien untersucht. Mit Hilfe von biographisch orientierten, themenzentrierten qualitativen Interviews wird der Versuch unternommen, die Handlungsrationalitäten zu verstehen, die sich hinter den hohen Arbeitslosenzahlen verbergen. Es wird gezeigt, dass die sozialen, kulturellen und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen die Entstehung komplexer Aktivitätsnetze begünstigen, die den Verbleib in Sizilien auch bei einer unbefriedigenden Erwerbssituation ermöglichen und zu einem permanenten Hinausschieben der Wanderungsentscheidung beitragen. Für die regionale Entwicklung Siziliens, wie auch der übrigen Regionen des Mezzogiorno, kann sich aber gerade der Verbleib junger Hochschulabsolventen in der Unterbeschäftigung als Standortvorteil für wissensorientierte Unternehmen und somit als Entwicklungspotential erweisen.Europe''s transition towards the Knowledge Society is characterised by major advances in scientific knowledge and its infiltration of the economic production process. To fulfil their role in the Knowledge Society, regions must ensure that young academics can be educated and integrated into the regional labour market. In this perspective the book analyses the employment situation and the regional mobility of young academics in the Italian Mezzogiorno using two different empirical approaches. The first part of this paper investigates the employment situation and regional mobility of young Italian academics using data sources provided by the Italian statistical office, Istat. Despite its comparatively small academic population, the Italian Mezzogiorno is marked by extremely high unemployment levels among young academics. Furthermore, a large number of young Italians from the South leave their home region before starting university or after graduation in order to find jobs in Northern or Central Italy. The second section of this paper draws on empirical evidence to analyse the employment outlook and high level of emigration among young Sicilian graduates from a hermeneutic perspective. With the help of biographical, problem-oriented qualitative interviews, the author attempts to understand the culturally embedded rationalities that inform statistical evidence. Sicily''s social, cultural and institutional framework is shown to promote the growth of highly complex networks of activity that encourage young unemployed graduates to remain in unsatisfactory work environments and constantly postpone their decision to migrate. On a more positive note, the continued presence of young underemployed university graduates may be considered beneficial to the regional development of Sicily, as well as other parts of the Mezzogiorno, if interpreted as a regional advantage for knowledge-intensive industries in their search for new locations
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
