Embodied cacophonies
No full textEmbodied Cacophonies explores the (dis)organised noise of our genealogies and our future legacies within us. Through this exhibition, I ask how do we have an embodied experience of the cacophony of a place/time/existence? In what ways does our human experience reflect the movement of time, voice, and spirit in the socio-ecosystem in and around Lindisfarne Castle, Holy Island?Exhibition is on view from March 2024- February 2026
Hymns and constructions of race: mobility, agency, de/coloniality
No full textHymns and Constructions of Race: Mobility, Agency, De/Coloniality examines how the hymn, historically and today, has reinforced, negotiated, and resisted constructions of race. It brings together diverse perspectives from musicology, ethnomusicology, theology, anthropology, performance studies, history, and postcolonial scholarship to show how the hymn has perpetuated, generated, and challenged racial identities.The global range of contributors cover a variety of historical and geographical contexts, with case studies from China and Brazil to Suriname and South Africa. They explore the hymn as a product of imperialism and settler colonialism and as a vehicle for sonic oppression and/or resistance, within and beyond congregational settings. The volume contends that the lived tradition of hymn-singing, with its connections to centuries of global Christian mission, is a particularly apt lens for examining both local and global negotiations of race, power, and identity. It will be relevant for scholars interested in religion, music, race, and postcolonialism

Echolocations
No full textInvoking the vast aquatic distances across which whales can communicate, and responding to the tremendous spaces of the awe-inspiring cathedral in Winchester, four composer-performers came together to create Echolocations. Inspired by marine ecologies and reckoning with human impact on the natural ocean environment the performance responds to Gumbs’ (2021) provocation that ‘marine mammals [have] much to teach us about the vulnerability, collaboration and adaptation we need in order to be with change at this time, especially since one of the major changes we are living through, causing and shaping in this climate crisis is the rising of the ocean. If there was ever a time to humbly submit to the mentorship of marine mammals it is now’
Echoes of care
No full textEchoes of Care is a collaborative multidisciplinary performance exploring the theme of haunting and Black ways of care and exploring the body as a vehicle for epiginetic memory of carelessness and carefulness. Playing physically with the concept of closeness (of those performing) and proximity (to the audience who remain peripheral), the performance, considers the sound of careFULness and careLESSness and how that sound might echo through our bones, memories, and beyond. Combining sound (a performative sound piece by Liz Gre), voice (a performative eulogy by Kwame Phillips), movement (a dance performance by Rebecca Pokua Korang), and intervention (a sonic and gestural call and response by SA Smythe), the piece creates a resonant space of care and vulnerability amidst the layered temporalities of living in a racialized world
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
