Spaces
No full textChapter 6, ‘Spaces’, explores ways in which different locations were used to construct and communicate revolt and became laboratories of new kinds of politics. It focuses on sites in both western Europe and the communist bloc, and contrasts the opportunities that existed for protesters to challenge the state offensively in 1968, contesting public spaces within universities or on the streets, forging links between students, intellectuals and workers. It highlights the contrasts between different countries based both on nationally specific historical repertoires of protest, and on the ideological nature of the state concerned. In a second phase after 1968, following state repression, protesters retreated into new spaces that were often far from seats of power and not easily controlled by the authorities: a mental asylum, a sheep-farming plateau or an abandoned chapel. These enabled a new kind of politics that was democratic and subversive, simultaneously local and transnational in its reac
Gender and Sexuality
No full textThis chapter presents the diverse ways in which a range of activists they make sense of their journeys into activism across Europe. The focus is on how many factors—the legacies of the Second World War, the Cold War context, encounters with poverty or exclusion, confrontations with institutional authority, and moral, political or sexual crises—are bound up together, in varying combinations, in the biographical self-understanding of activists. Activists have a fundamental task: to make sense of the beginning of their revolt by bringing the individual life and the collective struggle together in a narrative, justifying the decision or commitment to become an activist, and explaining the pathway into revolt in relation to broader life experienc
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
