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
Die Ästhetik sexueller Gewalt bei Yvonne Vera und Calixthe Beyala
No full textVergewaltigungsszenen in der Literatur bieten doppelten Analysebedarf. Einerseits impliziert die literarische Repräsentation sexueller Gewalt schon als Motiv die Verhandlung sozio- und genderpolitischer Fragen. Andererseits wird deren Rezeption auch durch die Ästhetik der Narrative gelenkt. Vom Motiv der Vergewaltigung ausgehend, untersucht diese Arbeit das Spannungsfeld zwischen inhaltlicher Gewalt und Sprachkunst in den Romanen The Stone Virgins (2002) von Yvonne Vera und C'est le soleil qui m'a brûlée (1987) von Calixthe Beyala.
Gezeigt werden soll, dass die gewählten Romane als feministisch subversive Texte gelesen werden können und theoretische Überlegungen zu Vergewaltigung und deren Repräsentation thematisch, aber auch durch ihre narrativen Strukturen literarisch widerspiegeln. Als theoretische Paralleltexte dienen für die Motivanalyse zunächst feministisch-poststrukturalistische Überlegungen zu Vergewaltigung und Subjektivität (Louise du Toit, Sharon Marcus, Sabine Sielke) bzw. postkoloniale Ansätze zur Repräsentation (Gayatri Spivak). Für die Analyse der narrativen Strategien werden als Vertreterinnen kulturwissenschaftlich orientierter narratologischer Ansätze Mieke Bal, Susan Lanser und Birgit Wagner herangezogen. Als Brücke von Ästhetik und Politik dienen schließlich Martin Seels Betrachtung wirkungsästhetischer Fragen in Bezug auf Gewaltdarstellungen.Rape scenes in literature demand for analysis in two ways. On the one hand, the representation of sexual and gender-based violence deals implicitly with socio- and gender-political questions. On the other hand, its reception is guided by the aesthetics of the narrative. Therefore, this paper considers how and with which political implications sexual violence is represented in the novels The Stone Virgins (2002) by Yvonne Vera and C'est le soleil qui m'a brûlée (1987) by Calixthe Beyala. The paper demonstrates that these novels can be read as feminist and subversive texts that reflect theoretical considerations on rape and its representation not only on their thematic, but also on their narrative level.
For the analysis of the motive of rape, the paper draws on feminist post-structuralist theories on sexual violence and subjectivity (cf. Louise du Toit, Sharon Marcus and Sabine Sielke) and post-colonial approaches to representation (cf. Gayatri Spivak). With their focus on culturally oriented narratology, the theories of Mieke Bal, Susan Lanser and Birgit Wagner will prove helpful to bridge political and poetological aspects. Finally, Martin Seel will be considered for questions on the interplay of aesthetics and (literary) violence
"À la recherche de l'amie perdue"
No full textDiese Arbeit untersucht Darstellungen von Freundschaft zwischen Frauen in der zeitgenössischen frankophonen Literatur anhand von /Pour mourir en février/ (Anne-Lise Grobéty, 1970), „Femmes d'Alger dans leur appartement“ (Assia Djebar, 1980), /Baise-moi/ (Virginie Despentes, 1993) und /Respire/ (Anne-Sophie Brasme, 2001). Ausgangspunkt der Fragestellung ist das feministische Postulat, dass Freundschaft zwischen Frauen das
Potential sozialer Sprengkraft inne liege. In diesem Kontext wird untersucht, wie die ausgewählten literarischen Texte Spielarten der Frauenfreundschaft inszenieren. Die theoretische Basis dafür bildet eine Zusammenschau ausgewählter Prämissen traditioneller
Freundschaftsdiskurse (Platon, Aristoteles, Michel de Montaigne) im Licht zeitgenössischer ethischer und feministischer Theorien (Jacques Derrida, Harald Lemke, Janice Raymond, Arno Böhler, Hanna Hacker). Davon ausgehend untersucht die literarische Analyse, wie und ob die Romane eine Sprache der Freundschaft schreiben und ob sie auf thematischer und formaler Ebene eine feministische Ethik der Freundschaft widerspiegeln. Das diesem Fokus inhärente Zusammenspiel von Ästhetik und Ethik wird mit Hilfe der kulturwissenschaftlich-feministischen Narratologie (Mieke Bal, Susan Lanser, Birgit Wagner) analysiert. Ausgehend vom Element der Gegenseitigkeit der Freundschaft wird untersucht, inwieweit die literarischen Texte durch ihr Spiel mit Stimme und Fokalisierung 'freundschaftliches Erzählen' repräsentieren.This paper proposes an analysis of the representation of female friendship in contemporary francophone literature, ranging from /Pour mourir en février/ (Anne-Lise Grobéty, 1970), „Femmes d'Alger dans leur appartement“ (Assia Djebar, 1980), /Baise-moi/ (Virginie Despentes, 1993) to /Respire/ (Anne-Sophie Brasme, 2001). Based on the feminist claim that potential for social change is inherent in female friendship, this paper explores how
these literary texts represent a variety of ties among women. To contextualise them, the paper draws on classic texts on friendship (Platon, Aristoteles, Montaigne, Kracauer) by
revisiting them in the light of contemporary and feminist critique (by Jacques Derrida, Harald Lemke, Janice Raymond, Arno Böhler and Hanna Hacker, among others). Based on this theoretical framework, the literary analysis explores whether a 'language of friendship' is enacted and a feminist ethics of friendship is mirrored on both, a content as well as a structural level. To conjoin the political and poetological aspects implied in these
questions, the approach of culturally oriented feminist narratology (Mieke Bal, Susan Lanser, Birgit Wagner) is employed. Based on the concept of reciprocity inherent in
friendship, the narratological approach proposed in this paper examines whether and how the literary texts develop a 'narration of friendship', exploring their use of voice and
focalisation
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
