Der Israelit : ein Centralorgan für das orthodoxe Judentum.
No full textIssued during a period of increased secularization, growing assimilation, as well as religious reform, "Der Israelit" was for over almost eight decades the most significant publication of the German Jewish orthodoxy. Under the direction of its founder, the renowned rabbi and author Marcus Lehmann (1831-1890), "Der Israelit" was a tradition-conscious magazine that countered liberal-reform publications like the "Allgemeinen Zeitung des Judentums" (General Newspaper for Judaism), and its successor "CV-Zeitung." "Der Israelit was considered by its publisher to be a forum for all interests in every area of life related to German Judaism. After the old series of the monthly "Jeschurun" merged with "Der Israelit," Lehmann published a parallel Hebrew newsletter in 1871 and then a Yiddish newsletter in 1873. After the death of Lehmann in 1890, his son Oscar Lehmann (1858-1928) took over the direction of the magazine.Jugendblaetter des "Esra" (Issues for Jahrg. 7 (1927) to Jg. 8 (1927-1928).

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
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Thursday Murder Club: Launching a megabrand author - a publishing case study
No full textIn 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author
Encuentros literarios entre Asquenaz y Sefarad : la recepción en la literatura judeoespañola de la obra narrativa de los hermanos Philippson y de Marcus Lehman
No full textEl objetivo de esta tesis doctoral fue estudiar qué tipo de relaciones existían a mediados del siglo XIX entre el mundo de la literatura judeo-alemana y las creaciones literarias sefardíes. Como fuentes literarias nos sirvieron en primer lugar el periódico El Correo de Viena y las Güertas de Historia. Un elemento cultural importante que se establece gracias al movimiento innovador europeo es la prensa, o sea, el inagotable mundo de los periódicos con sus aportaciones literarias en forma de novelas por entregas.
A lo largo del siglo XIX la importancia de la ciudad de Viena como centro económico, cultural y social está en pleno desarrollo. Uno de los personajes centrales en el ámbito de la prensa vienesa es Sem Tob Semo. Gracias a este redactor prolífico que funda El Coreo de Viena y la Güerta de Historia, los sefardíes del Imperio Otomano entran en contacto con la literatura del ámbito judío-alemán centroeuropeo. Las narraciones son traducidas en la mayoría de los casos por el propio Semo Tob Semo o por su yerno Adolf Zemlinsky del alemán al judeoespañol. En nuestro trabajo de investigación nos centramos en los textos narrativos de Marcus Lehmann y de los hermanos Phöbus y Ludwig Philippson. Mientras los hermanos Philippson representan el ámbito de la novela histórica, Marcus Lehmann es uno de los principales autores de la literatura juvenil. Tanto Ludwig Philippson como Marcus Lehmann poseen una enorme importancia y trascendencia entre los judíos alemanes del siglo XIX. Analizamos el proceso de creación de las novelas judeoespañolas escogidas, contrastando –hasta donde ha sido posible– las diversas versiones sefardíes y comparándolas con sus originales alemanes, teniendo en cuenta en todo momento el trasfondo histórico y sociocultural de dos sociedades judías tan diferentes: la europea y la oriental.
En la transmisión literaria entre Viena y el Imperio Otomano se observan diferentes momentos. A partir de los años sesenta del siglo XIX se realizan en Viena traducciones al judeoespañol de las narraciones de los tres autores alemanes mencionados. Desde los años ochenta del este siglo se empiezan a reeditar los textos vieneses en Salónica, y sobre todo desde los años noventa encontramos en el Imperio Otomano no sólo las reediciones de las novelas alemanas de Salónica, sino también nuevas traducciones y adaptaciones de diferentes autores sefardíes. Gracias a nuestro material de estudio hemos podido mostrar que efectivamente se producen traducciones judeoespañolas a partir de originales alemanes. Nuestro análisis prueba que entre el mundo asquenazí y el sefardí existen nexos literarios ya después de mediados del siglo XIX. Se efectúa un traslado literario por el interior de las comunidades judías, es decir, los textos viajan de Centroeuropa al mundo oriental y, gracias a ello se produce un acercamiento entre los sefardíes y los asquenazíes. La literatura alemana que, originariamente se escribe para un público asquenazí, alcanza así un radio de lectores más amplio y llega a incluir también a los sefardíes orientales
