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
Rad Hourani : Self-Titling
Get PDF"“Self-titling” is a result of Rad Hourani’s observations on the art market made while attending art fairs, auctions and gallery openings. This series of artworks is a study of how art collectors and gallerists present and title themselves, with gendered names, nationalities, professions, hereditary privileges and possessions, rather than simply beings. These labels define their interactions. with this creation, Rad Hourani questions the self-assigned and illusionary categories that humans place themselves into by presenting their identities in everyday life; through this lens, he examines the purpose of creating art today.
Using the most spoken languages worldwide, the artworks are numbered in decreasing order and identified with the most common country-specific names and highest-paying positions in the most economically established places in the world. The buyer or seller thus becomes the curated work of art itself in a form of self-titled advertisement, which raises the question of whether art is created for the purpose of limitless expression or rather for the market, to be sold as a form of decoration for different clients of different statuses." -- Artist's websit
Rad Hourani : Classroom Of Language
Get PDF"Nativist though they may seem, the writing systems we use to communicate are learned and acquired practices. Through syntax and lexicon, society continues to defer to authority by treating traditionally educated individuals with respect and praise, while overlooking and neglecting those who do not echo a similarly literate proficiency.
Rooted in my own experience as a neurodivergent artist, the exhibition Classroom of Language aims to open a dialogue on invisible disabilities and the divisive issues of written language. By reinventing the classroom and the alphabet, I question how linguistics might better facilitate the structures of our synthetic languages, while challenging the norms and binary conceptions contained within language.
This body of work also questions the lack of sensorial stimulation in pedagogy and public spaces, shedding light on a discriminatory educational heritage for neurodiverse people. Classroom of Language explores the possibilities of a multidisciplinary approach to language, encouraging each of us to create our own writing systems." -- Publisher's websit
