No full textThis chapter considers the Australian paintings of the British landscape painter John Glover from multiple perspectives. It explores not only the dichotomy of their having stylistic origins in the Claudean Picturesque while offering naturalistic responses to the environment, but also broader issues such as the introduction of European plants to Van Diemen's Land and the nature of colonial pastoralism and agriculture

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
Review of \u3ci\u3eForging an American Identity: The Art of William Ranney: With a Catalogue of His Works.\u3c/i\u3e By Linda Bantel and Peter H. Hassrick
Get PDFSince the appearance of Francis S. Grubar\u27s William Ranney, Painter of the Early West, a catalogue raisonne published to accompany the artist\u27s 1962 retrospective at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Ranney\u27s reputation has revolved around the thirty-odd images of western trappers, hunters, and pioneers he worked up in New York {and later in an impressive two-story studio he kept across the river in West Hoboken} during the 1840s and early 1850s, at least in part from sketches dating to the time of his enlistment as a soldier in the Texan war for independence more than a decade earlier. The present account, Forging an American Identity: The Art of William Ranney, while paying more balanced attention to the artist\u27s broader oeuvre, nonetheless privileges these same western images-works described by Sarah E. Boehme as pictorial narratives of roughly contemporary life on the prairies that contributed to the region\u27s significance in the national mythology.
The publication documents, celebrates, and targets visitors to the 2006 Ranney retrospective organized at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center\u27s Whitney Gallery of Western Art in Cody, Wyoming, which has since traveled to the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art where it closed in August 2007. Not having seen the exhibition, I will limit my comments to the book itself, the scholarly ambitions of which are both evident and admirable though uneven
Book Review: Karl Bodmer\u27s Studio Art: The Newberry Library Bodmer Collection
Get PDFKarl Bodmer\u27s field sketches executed along the upper Missouri between 1832 and 1834 constitute one of the principal sources of visual evidence regarding the ethnohistory of the Northern Plains. In this volume a less well-known selection of these works, both drawings and watercolors, held in the collections of the Newberry Library receives for the first time sustained scholarly consideration, situated in a historical context defined by the ethnologic ambitions of Bodmer\u27s patron, Prince Maximilian
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
