Indiana reform politics : a history of progressive legislation in the Indiana General Assembly, 1890-1910
No full textThis thesis has demonstrated that Indiana played a major role in the American reform movement usually associated with the Populist and Progressive eras. Through an analysis of the issues brought before the Indiana General Assembly and a discussion of successful and unsuccessful progressive legislation, this study has shown that Indiana was a progressive state and therefore in the mainstream of the American reform movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In addition, the thesis explored the voting records of the various legislators between the decades from 1890 to 1910 and arrived at some general conclusions concerning the origins and development of progressivism in Indiana. Finally, brief biographies of some of the outstanding progressive legislators were included in the study.Thesis (M.A.)Department of Histor
The Brevier Legislative Reports and the Indiana General Assembly, 1858-1887
Get PDFIn May of 2008, the Indiana University Maurer School of Law Library, in close collaboration with the Digital Library Program, applied for and received an LSTA grant from the Indiana State Library to digitize the Brevier Legislative Reports. These reports are a verbatim transcription of the Indiana General Assembly from 1858 to 1887, detailing the prosecution of the Civil War, along with debate over issues ranging from prohibition, women's suffrage, sheep-killing dogs, railroad train whistles and hanging Confederate President Jefferson Davis on the nearest "Sour Apple Tree." The set consists of almost 8,000 pages in 22 bibliographic volumes (two volumes were never published). In this talk we will discuss the process to digitize this set with the unique issues encountered when dealing with a legislative record including enacted and proposed legislation, governor's messages and vetoes, roll-calls and recorded votes, and supplemental material
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
