The John Sebastian Helmcken Medical Collection: The Material History of Nineteenth-Century Medical Practitioner's Armamentarium
Get PDFThis article proposes that museums with history collections practise material history methodologies. Using the example of the John Sebastian Helmcken Medical Collection - a collection of nineteenth-century medical instruments from a historic site in Victoria, British Columbia - the author illustrates how information abstracted from artifacts can be useful for interpretation. Further, this artifact analysis demonstrates how an assemblage of objects created by someone in the past can be analyzed using the same material history methodologies developed for single artifacts.
Résumé
Cet article recommande que les musées à col-lections historiques mettent en pratique les méthodologies établies en histoire de la cul-ture matérielle. Partant de l'exemple de la col-lection médicale John Sebastian Helmcken, une collection d'instruments médicaux du XIXe siècle provenant d'un site historique de Victo-ria (Colombie-Britannique), l'auteur illustre la façon dont l'information tirée des objets façon-nés peut être utile à l'interprétation. De plus, cette analyse d'objets façonnés démontre qu'une collection d'articles rassemblés par quelqu'un dans le passé peut être analysée à l'aide des mêmes méthodes établies en histoire de la culture matérielle que celles qui servent à l'étude d'objets façonnés distincts
Life and times of Dr. John Sebastian Helmcken
No full textAudio recording and transcript of Ainslie Helmcken's 1972 presentation to the Nanaimo Historical Society regarding his grandfather, Dr. John Sebastian Helmcken, who was an early medical doctor in Victoria, British Columbia. Mr. Helmcken's talk outlines his grandfather's arrival to the Colony of Vancouver Island in 1850, his experiences there, and his involvement in local politics, including when British Columbia joined Confederation in 1871. Mr. Helmcken also gives several anecdotes about some of his grandfather's contemporaries, including James Douglas, Amor De Cosmos, Roderick Finlayson, William John Macdonald, and Joseph Pemberton.https://library.viu.ca/libinfo/harmfullanguagestatementhttps://viuspace.viu.ca/bitstream/handle/10613/226/NanaimoHistoryHelmcken37.pdf?sequence=4Address recorded as presented to the Nanaimo Historical Society on Oct. 17, 1972
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
