Flüchtlinge: Opfer - Bedrohung - Helden
No full textWie die Macht der sprachlichen Bilder die gesellschaftspolitischen Debatten prägt, wird in der aktuellen Diskussion über die Flüchtenden, die Schutz in Europa suchen, so deutlich wie selten. Heidrun Friese geht den kontroversen gesellschaftlichen Imaginationen von den Geflüchteten nach: Die Figur des »Fremden« als Bedrohung artikuliert den Rassismus des Populismus und legitimiert Sicherheitspolitiken. Humanitäres, religiös-ethisches Handeln hingegen fasst Geflüchtete als Opfer, die der Hilfe bedürfen. In einer dritten Perspektive wird das Überschreiten von Grenzen zum heroischen Akt stilisiert und antikapitalistischen Kämpfen eingeschrieben. Der Essay interveniert in diesen Schlüsseldiskurs der Einwanderungsgesellschaft und setzt diesen imaginierten Figuren des »Fremden«, die den Flüchtenden auf je verschiedene Weise eine eigene Subjektivität absprechen, ein anderes Bild entgegen.</jats:p
Introduction
No full textIt is the Introduction to a special issue of the journal, edited by myself and Heidrun Fries and dedicated to migration and mobility. The article presents the issue framing it within the lively international debate on transnational migration, new roles of borders and the relationship between mobility, political membership and (distributive) justice
Imaginary:Hospitality
Get PDFThe imaginaries of hospitality
have been changing ever since
people were moving places,
migrating – meeting, welcoming
and leaving each other. A
famous Sanskrit verse equals
guest to God.

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
Le temps-discours, les temps-images. Pluralisation et ouverture de l'organisation temporelle de la vie quotidienne
No full text«The Time-Discourse, the Time-Images. Pluralization and Opening of the Temporal Organization of the Everyday Life».
Heidrun Friese [39-64].
The question of time takes up a main place in the social theory. The author examines particularly the place of the construction of time in the theories of action in the work of Bourdieu and Giddens. Pointing out their deficiencies, the author describes the multiplicity of strategies in the construction of a splited temporality in the ordinary person everyday acts (the article relies on an ethnographie survey in Sicily). She pleads for the integration in a renewed sociology of time of this irreducible plurality of time (biographical time, historical local time, historical universal time), which characterizes all the local practices.«Le temps-discours, les temps-images. Pluralisation et ouverture de l'organisation temporelle de la vie quotidienne».
Heidrun Friese [39-64].
La question du temps occupe une place centrale dans la théorie sociale. L'auteur examine en particulier la place de la construction du temps dans les théories de l'action de Bourdieu et de Giddens. Pointant leurs insuffisances, l'auteur - en s'appuyant sur une enquête ethnographique menée en Sicile (dont elle a par ailleurs tiré un ouvrage) - décrit les multiples stratégies de construction d'une temporalité éclatée à l'œuvre dans l'agir quotidien des personnes et plaide pour l'intégration de cette pluralité irréductible (temps biographique, temps historique local, temps historique universel), qui caractérise toute pratique locale, dans une théorie sociologique du temps renouvelée.Friese Heidrun.

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
