Giorgio Fabio Colombo, Justice and International Law in Meiji Japan: The María Luz Incident and the Dawn of Modernity | Routledge, 2023, Pp. 134, ISBN: 978-1-032-24902-5
No full textIn this book, Giorgio Fabio Colombo, Professor at Nagoya University, engages with a distinctive event in Japanese legal history, the María Luz incident. Drawing on his research experience with decolonising arbitration, comparative law, and legal culture, he analyses the María Luz incident and its relationship with the onset of modernity in Japan. In this book review, we further contextualise this incident in the intersections of cultural expertise and international la
Revenge between legal and social norms in Cavalleria Rusticana
No full textRevenge is usually considered a mere instinctive and spontaneous reaction to an injustice. However, as the legal anthropologist knows well, revenge is also an action regulated by unwritten laws in most traditional communities. It is therefore possible to see revenge as one of the most ancient legal institutions, and possibly the most ancient form of punishment provided for by traditional legal systems. This paper is centered on such “normative” revenge, analyzed through the reading of Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana. Here, the plot is characterized by a number of cross-revenges, all of them committed in compliance with the unwritten norm “Offences must be revenged.” Such a rule is a common feature of the rural legal order in nineteenth century’s Italy, and it will lead to the dramatic ending “They killed gaffer Turiddu!
Fantastic Literature and Criticism of Society in El Portal Rojo, by Montse Watkins
Full text linkEl Portal Rojo (1994) [The Red Gate], by Spanish writer Montse Watkins, contains three short stories that take place in Japan. This study examines characteristics of fantastic literature, such as the presence of ghosts, which functions as a vehicle to criticize contemporary Japanese society. For the reflection on fantastic literature, the works of Giorgio Fabio Colombo and Noriko Reider, among others, have been taken into consideration. For the approach to the criticism of society, the observations of scholar Susan Napier have been applied.acceptedVersio
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
