Musik der Irokesen
No full textDas Buch vermittelt einen Überblick über die Kultur und Geschichte sowie die Gegenwartssituation der Irokesen. Zudem vertieft es ausgewählte zentrale Themen, wie zum Beispiel ihre Lebensgrundlagen, die Konstruktion eines Langhauses oder eines Birkenrindenkanus, die Bedeutung von Masken und Aspekte ihrer Religion. Souveränitäts- und Landansprüche der letzten Jahrzehnte und das Aufkommen von Spielkasinos in den 1990er Jahren werden ausführlich diskutiert. Autobiographische Porträts illustrieren die individuelle Auseinandersetzung mit der irokesischen Identität. Auf der beiliegenden CD finden sich Hörbeispiele traditioneller und moderner Musik sowie zahlreiche Bilder, die einen audio-visuellen Eindruck von der Kultur und dem Leben der Irokesen bis heute vermitteln
Maya-Textilien aus Guatemala : "Kleider für die Seele"
No full textGuatemala ist das Land der Mayas: Die historischen Zeugnisse wie die Ruinenstädte mit ihren Tempelpyramiden faszinieren noch heute. Die Indigenas leben weiterhin ihre Traditionen, doch die schicksalhaften letzten Jahrzehnte haben einschneidende Veränderungen in ihre Lebensweise gebracht. Geblieben ist die farbenfrohe Kleidung der Maya-Frauen, die Reisende vor allem auf dem Hochland bewundern können. Das Völkerkundemuseum der Universität Zürich besitzt in seinen Sammlungen rund 300 Maya-Textilien aus einem Zeitraum von über 125 Jahren. Sie repräsentieren die Variationen der Kleidung von Dorf zu Dorf wie auch den Wandel über die Zeit hinweg
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
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
The Return of the Crown of Kafa from Switzerland to Ethiopia: A Case of Restitution? / Le retour de la couronne du Kafa de la Suisse à l’Éthiopie: un cas de restitution?
No full textThe focus of this paper is the question of whether the return of the crown and the stool of Kafa from Switzerland to Ethiopia in 1954 is a “ case of restitution”. The circumstances of this return and the reasons why the crown and the stool are quali ed as “ restituted items” in the Institute of Ethiopian Studies are to be discussed. The story of the crown starts in the year 1897, when Emperor Menelik II conquered the kingdom of Kafa in South -West Ethiopia and came into possession of the crown of the king of Kafa. Because Menelik feared that the crown could be stolen and taken back to Kafa, he asked his Swiss adviser, the engineer Alfred Ilg, to make sure that the crown would be taken out of the country. When Emperor Haile Selassie I visited Switzerland in 1954, members of the Ilg family handed the crown over to him and he took it back to Ethiopia. Is this repatriation a case of restitution according to the “ Unesco Convention 1970 ” or the “ Unidroit Convention 1995 ” ? How should we understand the repatriation of the crown compared to, for example, the restitution of the stele of Aksumin 2008 ? These questions are of interest for museum curators dealing with similar cases. The case of the crown of Kafa however seems to be a very singular one.Le retour de la couronne du Kafa de la Suisse à l’Éthiopie : un cas de restitution ?
Le sujet de cet article est de savoir si le retour de la couronne et du trône du Kafa de Suisse en Éthiopie en 1954 est un “cas de restitution”. Les circonstances de ce retour et les raisons pour lesquelles la couronne et le trône sont qualifiés d’“objets restitués” à l’Institute of Ethiopian Studies doivent être discutées. L’histoire de la couronne commence en 1897, lorsque l’empereur Ménélik II fait la conquête du royaume du Kafa, dans le sud -ouest éthiopien, et entre en possession de la couronne du roi du Kafa. Parce que Ménélik craignait que la couronne puisse être volée et ramenée au Kafa, il demanda à son conseiller suisse, l’ingénieur Alfred Ilg, de s’assurer que la couronne soit sortie du pays. Lorsque l’empereur Haile Selassie I visita la Suisse en 1954, des membres de la famille Ilg lui remirent la couronne et il la ramena en Éthiopie. Ce rapatriement est-il un cas de restitution selon la “Convention de l’Unesco de 1970” ou la “Convention d’Unidroit de 1995” ? Comment devrions-nous comprendre le rapatriement de la couronne par rapport à, par exemple, la restitution de la stèle d’Aksum en 2008 ? Ces questions intéressent les conservateurs de musées qui traitent de cas similaires. Cependant, le cas de la couronne du Kafa semble être très singulier.Biasio Elisabeth, Gerber Peter R.

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
