H. G. Adler (1910-1988)
No full textThe result of my extensive research project is the first comprehensive study on the life and work of H. G. Adler, an important member of the circle around Elias and Veza Canetti, Erich Fried etc., whose ground-breaking scholarly work long overshadowed his reputation as a creative writer. Adler, a German-Jewish writer, born in Prague in 1910, was the inmate of various National Socialist concentration camps (Theresienstadt, Auschwitz) during the Second World War and lived in exile in London from 1947 until his death in 1988.
Both as a scholar and as a creative writer, this prolific author is one of the most interesting and most versatile personalities in postwar history. In addition to publishing seminal works on the Holocaust, he left behind an important and to a large extent unpublished body of work, consisting of narrative prose, poetry and drama as well as scholarly articles and books on history, sociology, politics, psychology, language and literature, music, arts, philosophy, theology and Jewish studies. The works of H. G. Adler address central contemporary concerns, cover a large number of areas of interest (European cultural and intellectual history, 20th century German literature, exile studies, Holocaust research etc.) and shall thus - so I hope - attract considerably more attention in the future.
This monograph attempts to close a major gap in exile studies that has often been complained about in the past. Its most important topical areas are: H. G. Adler's biography, Theresienstadt (Terezín), exile in England, the development and interdependence of scholarly work and literature, H. G. Adler's position amongst writers such as Karl Kraus, Franz Kafka, George Orwell, Elias Canetti and W. G. Sebald, H. G. Adler as Franz Baermann Steiner's literary executor, H. G. Adler's position amongst London émigrés, H. G. Adler and Austria (despite his exile in England, Adler throughout his life remained closely associated with Austrian culture).
This study focuses on Adler's most important and best known works "Theresienstadt 1941-1945" and "Die verheimlichte Wahrheit", books and articles like "Die Dichtung der Prager Schule" and "Der Kampf gegen die 'Endlösung der Judenfrage'", which have hitherto been neglected by academic research, the voluminous autobiographically structured or autobiographically influenced novels "Panorama", "Eine Reise" and "Die unsichtbare Wand" as well as numerous unpublished texts, documents and photographs from Adler's literary estate. It is rounded off by a complete bibliography of H. G. Adler's publication from 1947 to 1988.
The time for a monograph about H. G. Adler is ideal: 2008 - 20th anniversary of H. G. Adler's death; 2010 - H. G. Adler's 100th birthday

G. Adler, einem wichtigen Mitglied des Kreises um Elias und Veza Canetti, Erich Fried u. a. Adler, ein deutsch-jüdischer Schriftsteller, geboren 1910 in Prag, war während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in mehreren nationalsozialistischen Konzentrationslagern (Theresienstadt, Auschwitz) interniert und lebte von 1947 bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1988 im Exil in London.
Dieser Autor ist eine der interessantesten und vielseitigsten literarischen und wissenschaftlichen Persönlichkeiten der Nachkriegsgeschichte. Neben zu Lebzeiten veröffentlichten monumentalen Pionierarbeiten über den Holocaust hinterließ er ein wichtiges und zu einem großen Teil unveröffentlichtes Werk, das sowohl aus Erzählprosa, Gedichten und dramatischen Arbeiten besteht als auch aus wissenschaftlichen Aufsätzen und Büchern über Geschichte, Soziologie, Politik, Psychologie, Sprache und Literatur, Musik, bildende Kunst, Philosophie, Theologie und jüdische Themen. Adlers Werk ist für viele Bereiche von Bedeutung, für die europäische Kultur- und Geistesgeschichte, für die deutschsprachige Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts, für die Exilforschung, für die Holocaustforschung u. a. und wird - so hoffe ich - in Zukunft erheblich mehr Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen.
Diese Arbeit trachtet oft eingeklagte Defizite im Bereich der österreichischen Exilforschung zu beheben. Ihre wichtigsten Themenbereiche sind: H. G. Adlers Biographie, Theresienstadt, Exil in England, die Entstehungsgeschichte der Werke, die gegenseitige Abhängigkeit von wissenschaftlichem und literarischem Werk, H. G. Adler's Position unter Schriftstellern wie Karl Kraus, Franz Kafka, George Orwell, Elias Canetti und W. G. Sebald, H. G. Adler als Nachlassverwalter von Franz Baermann Steiner, H. G. Adlers Stellung im Londoner Emigrantenkreis sowie H. G. Adlers Verhältnis zu Österreich (trotz seines englischen Exils fühlte er sich dem österreichischen Kulturkreis angehörig und unterhielt weiterhin intensive Beziehungen zu Österreich).
Außer Adlers bedeutendsten und bekanntesten wissenschaftlichen Werken wie "Theresienstadt 1941-1945" und "Die verheimlichte Wahrheit" wurden für die Monographie besonders bisher von der Forschung wenig bzw. überhaupt nicht wahrgenommene Werke wie "Die Dichtung der Prager Schule" und "Der Kampf gegen die 'Endlösung der Judenfrage'", die umfangreichen und stark autobiographisch strukturierten bzw. beeinflussten Romane "Panorama", "Eine Reise" und "Die unsichtbare Wand" sowie zahlreiche unveröffentlichte Texte, Dokumente und Photos aus dem Nachlass herangezogen. Eine vollständige Bibliographie der Veröffentlichungen H. G. Adlers von 1947 bis 1988 rundet diese Arbeit ab.
Der Zeitpunkt für eine Monographie über H. G. Adler ist ideal: 2008 - H. G. Adlers 20. Todestag; 2010 - H. G. Adlers 100. Geburtstag
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
