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
Einleitung. Heavenly creatures? Bilder kontingenter, komplizenhafter FreundInnenschaft
Get PDFEdith Futscher Introduction. Heavenly Creatures? Images of Contingent, Complicit FriendshipThe starting point for this issue is the following discrepancy: while sociologists are observing an increasing normalisation of the social phenomenon of friendship, as supported by visual media, recent theoretical debates are emphasising instances of contingency, subversive complicity, and non-presence (Bataille, Foucault, Derrida, Bovenschen, etc.). On the one hand, a model is constructed and deployed that promises stability, that is unburdened by issues of sexuality and is gaining political acceptance, but that is also becoming increasingly recognized as a structure that replaces society and solidarity. On the other hand, phenomena such as withdrawal and absence or ghostliness are gaining prominence. This issue explores the currently dominant strategies of visual enactment and staging in various media, which reveal a transformation of the discourse. It further examines the omissions in the discourse on friendship from a critical gender perspective and sheds light on neglected, contingent aspects and their (gender) political relevance in visual culture
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

"Une mémoire d'ombres et de pierre" - Kulturelle Differenz und Geschlechterdifferenz in Hiroshima mon amour
Get PDF“Une mémoire d'ombres et de pierre”. Cultural and Sexual/Gender Difference in Hiroshima mon amourThis article focuses on the very first pictures and takes from Alain Resnais’ and Marguerite Duras’ Hiroshima mon amour (1959), which anticipate their strategy of inverting the cultural constructions of black and white. While the story is based on the encounter and love of two subjects, male and female, who differ in many respects, Resnais’ and Duras’ approach is to overcome and indeed transgress the processes of othering via the articulation of differences: Historicity, ethnicity, and gender as well as sexuality are intertwined with the media of skin, film, and memory
