An existential reading of 'En Kavaler i Spanien'
No full textThis paper sets out to examine the existential issues present in the travel novel En kavaler i Spanien (1926) written by Danish author Tom Kristensen, wherein he chronicles a journey through Spain in the mid-1920’s. The novel is considered an example of Danish expressionism, with outer world imagery reflecting the inner workings of the author, thematically revolving around existential issues, such as anxiety and godlessness - in the face of modernity. The paper contains literary analysis of concepts such as narration, writing style and desire, to map out the essential existential issues. These issues are in turn sourced from Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time (1927), with which the literary interpretations of Tom Kristensen’s novel is then juxtaposed.The paper has its methodical foundation from Hans-Georg Gadamer’s The Historicity of Understanding, written in Truth and Method (1960), in which it gains a platform for interpretation.This paper sets out to examine the existential issues present in the travel novel En kavaler i Spanien (1926) written by Danish author Tom Kristensen, wherein he chronicles a journey through Spain in the mid-1920’s.

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
An analysis of Helle Helle's novels Rødby-Puttgarden and Ned til hundene
No full textThis project in Danish literature explores the significance of Danish author Helle Helle’s two novels Rødby-Puttgarden (2005) and Ned til hundene (2008). Explicitly, the project seeks to examine the relation between the two novels, and the role that life in the rural areas of Denmark has in literature. Firstly, the main purpose is to conduct an analysis that focuses on both stylistic and thematic aspects, hereunder to explore Helle Helle’s minimalistic and realistic writing style, in order to understand its connection to her portraits of life outside Denmark’s urban cities. To support the analysis, this project applies Michel Foucault’s theory of Heterotopia and Marc Augé’s theory of Non-Places as to demonstrate how the notion of Place is central to the characters portrayed in Helle’s two novels. On the basis of this, the suggestion is made that, in the case of Helle Helle’s novels, the characters are inevitably connected to place. Lastly, we will discuss Helle’s position in the tradition of writing about life in rural Denmark. In order to add a broader perspective to the results of our analysis, we will include Erling Jepsen’s novel Frygtelig lykkelig (2004), and discuss the similarities and differences in the two authors’ depiction of life in the outermost regions of Denmark
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
Ubekvemmelighedszonen
No full textThis paper seeks to understand how the notion of the self has evolved in the genre of autobiog-raphy through an examination of the contemporary autobiography The Discomfort Zone from 2006 by the American author Jonathan Franzen. The history of ideas and its tendencies have always affected and been affected by the genre. This paper will in a structural perspective present the main characteristics of the genre, and dis-cuss the ongoing inner conflict of the autobiographical genre that deals with questions of autobi-ography being truth, truth and design, or outright design. In a historical perspective we will mainly focus on the autobiography from the classical, modern, and poststructural period. It is shown how the genre in the classical period represented a notion of a clearly defined self which developed in harmony with its surroundings, then moved towards a self undermined by external influences in the modern period, before it finally was declared dissolved in discourses by poststructural theo-rists such as Barthes, Lacan, and Foucault. This statement will function as the theoretical back-ground for the analysis of The Discomfort Zone based on formalistic methods. The analysis shows how the title of the work is used as a continuous metaphor for Franzen’s discomfort with his fami-ly and general surroundings. Thus, the notion of comfort becomes the character’s narrative objec-tive of the autobiography. In the narrative resolution of the story Franzen finds the comfort zone he has been struggling to locate, by ending his project of self-realization. In the interpretation of The Discomfort Zone we present three different theoretical interpretations with the purpose of understanding how Franzen is influenced by the different notions of the self, and which position The Discomfort Zone seizes in the autobiographical genre. It is concluded that the self in The Discomfort Zone is predominantly influenced by the idea of a constant self that develops and finds meaning in spite of its restraining surroundings. Further-more it is concluded that The Discomfort Zone in a genre theoretical matter is both truth and de-sign, in the way it uses creative freedom to manufacture the truth of the retold past.This paper seeks to understand how the notion of the self has evolved in the genre of autobiog-raphy through an examination of the contemporary autobiography The Discomfort Zone from 2006 by the American author Jonathan Franzen.
