The Watchers by the Well
Get PDFMusic for Balinese gender wayang group plus violin and electronics, accompanying a retelling of an English folktale. The concert also includes some traditional gender wayang pieces (see attached concert programme for full details)
The Birth of Kala
Get PDFThis piece was composed for the author's Balinese gender wayang ensemble, 'Segara Madu', and premiered as part of a the SOAS Brunei Gallery concert series on 19th March 2012. The whole concert was based on Balinese legends of the demonic Kala and the origins of the gender wayang instruments and of the shadow puppet play. The composition itself and the quasi-ritualistic action that accompanies it were intended as a 'reading' of the myth on another level. The score, based on cipher notation, is intended as an aid to the reconstruction of the piece in further performances, rather than an exact representation, the process of playing and teaching the gender wayang being traditionally unnotated

Bawang Merah Bawang Putih / 12 Violin Pieces
Get PDFThese violin pieces were conceived as a set and though there was originally no story line, they do create a kind of narrative structure in terms of the quite varied styles and moods. They are partly in the English experimental tradition, but also informed by Balinese music. The choreography, with the story of Bawang Merah Bawang Putih was created by Ni Made Pujawati
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
