De (Belgische) Monuments Men in actie : rechtsherstel voor door de nazi's geroofde kunst in België tijdens de (na)oorlogstijd (1940-1955)
No full text78 jaar na het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog doen er zich nog steeds problemen voor die veroorzaakt zijn door de nazi-georkestreerde kunstdrainage richting nazi-Duitsland. Via de kunstmarkt en gespecialiseerde rooforganisaties pogen de nazi’s zich zo veel mogelijk van de begeerde werken uit de bezette gebieden toe te eigenen. Daar komt al tijdens de oorlog reactie op vanuit zowel nationale als internationale hoek. Deze bijdrage gaat na hoe België op de kunstdrainage gereageerd heeft in de periode tussen 1940 en 1955. Deze eerste golf aan maatregelen kent echter enkele gebreken die er mee voor gezorgd hebben dat we sinds de jaren 90 een nieuwe, en dus een tweede golf aan initiatieven nodig hebben om ‘just and fair solutions’ te bieden voor de door het naziroofbeleid veroorzaakte problemen
De lange weg naar huis : rechtsherstel voor Nazi-roofkunst in de Lage Landen
No full textDuring his time in office Hitler and more structurally Nazi Germany wreaked havoc across the entire European art world. They bought, destroyed, pillaged and consequently displaced so many works of art, the period 1933-1945 is still considered to be one of the darkest pages in the history of the art world. Belgium and the Netherlands both fell victim to the Nazi art looting regime. The acquisition of publicly owned as well as private property was envisioned in the Nazi looting policies which consisted among others of being active on the art market, instating specialized looting organizations emptying out empty houses of fled or deported Jews or other state enemies.
While the measures adopted by Belgium and the Netherlands shared (and in a way still share) a common core, over time they have each developed their own systems that differ from the other. This article delves into the Belgian and Dutch approach of Nazi-looted art in three periods. The (pre-) wartime period, the post-war initiatives and the resurgence of the ’90 up until today. Through the analysis and subsequent comparison of the approaches taken in both states, the article reaches the conclusion that whereas the Netherlands have grown to be a evaluator state that regularly rethinks and changes their policies, Belgium has taken up the role of a reaction state, needing outside catalyzers to adopt new initiatives
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
