Ford's urban spaces
No full textThis essay discusses Ford’s engagement with the urban imaginary — both his own and of his time — taking account of twenty-two literary works devoted, partly or entirely, to the city. The first aim is to convey a wide, informed and analytic canvas of this vast production, while overviewing, systematising and making sense of existing Ford scholarship on the subject. The second aim is to identify and analyse neglected thematic strands, such as psychogeography, urban regeneration vs cultural memory, autobiographical colourings of the city, and anthropological takes on urban spaces. The third and final aim is to suggest new directions and methodological approaches which could be fruitfully applied to Ford studies on this topic
Ford, vision, and media
No full textThis essay discusses Ford’s engagement with vision and visual media of various kinds (especially painting and proto-cinematic devices) through his career as an art critic, novelist, poet and essay writer. The first aim it to convey a wide, informed and analytic canvas of this vast production (thirty-four works are considered, in order to abstract major tendencies in his developing interest in the visual), while overviewing, systematising and making sense of existing Ford scholarship on the subject. The second aim is to identify, analyse and offer new insights into major thematic strands — both well-known lines of enquiry, such as Ford’s relationship with the Old Masters, the Pre-Raphaelites and the avant-gardes, and largely neglected areas, such as the relationship between the visual field and emotion (e.g. through trauma, surveillance and care), the exchanges between the visible and the invisible, mental imagery and the phenomenology of reading, the afterlives of Ford’s works in contemporary media. The third and final aim is to suggest new directions and methodological approaches, from cognitivism to affect theory, which could be fruitfully applied to Ford studies on this topic
Having a lot of a good thing: multiple important group memberships as a source of self-esteem.

We propose and test an identity resource model in which personal self-esteem is boosted by membership in additional important social groups. Belonging to multiple important group memberships predicts personal self-esteem in children (Study 1a), older adults (Study 1b), and former residents of a homeless shelter (Study 1c). Study 2 shows that the effects of multiple important group memberships on personal self-esteem are not reducible to number of interpersonal ties. Studies 3a and 3b provide longitudinal evidence that multiple important group memberships predict personal self-esteem over time. Studies 4 and 5 show that collective self-esteem mediates this effect, suggesting that membership in multiple important groups boosts personal self-esteem because people take pride in, and derive meaning from, important group memberships. Discussion focuses on when and why important group memberships act as a social resource that fuels personal self-esteem.This study was supported by 1.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
