Geçirgen mimarlık: Makli Mezar Anıtları mimarisinde üslup etkileşimleri (14-16. yüzyıllar arası)
No full textThe aim of the study is to focus on the site of Makli Necropolis from fourteenth to sixteenth century and make study into the permeability of the funerary architecture of Samma Period. For the stated purpose the monuments of Samma period are described with special focus on Tomb of Jam Nizam al Din the most glorious of the Samma rulers and having the most elaborate structure in the Samma Cluster.Makli, one of the largest necropolises in the world is believed to be the burial ground of some 125,000 Sufi saints, located on the outskirts of Thatta, the capital of lower Sindh, until the eighteenth century. It is a hill like outcrop of a rock formation from the Kirthar system around which are the agricultural plains. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1981 under the name, Historical Monuments of Thatta.Samma were local rulers with their capital based in Thatta. The study concentrates on the time period in the history of Sindh when the Samma ruled i.e. from 14th to 16th century. It investigates and analyzes the encounter between the central Asian/Iranian architecture and Indian architecture of Gujarat with the monuments at Makli. The study will also remarks on some symbolic elements attached to the funerary architecture of the Islamic world and its application on the Samma tombs especially on the tomb of Jam Nizam al-Din.M.A. - Master of Art
Makli Nekropolünde mimari karşılaşmalar (14.-18. yüzyıl).
No full textThe aim of this research is to evaluate building tradition of Makli from 14th to 18th century, a necropolis in Thatta, Sindh in present day Pakistan. Makli, said to be one of the largest necropolises in the world housing 125,000 (a slightly exaggerated figure) burial ensembles of varying range from free standing carved graves to elaborate tombs, is a UNESCO World Heritage site added to the list in 1981/82 as Historical Monuments of Thatta. The pluralistic architecture these tombs display is problematic when studied through old school taxonomic model and the research is directed to propose a fresh / alternative history of architecture for the site. This fresh perspective entails encounter and integration of building traditions as a paradigm. This research focuses on the standing tombs and does not cover other building types, to keep the scope of research within manageable limits. This three pronged research bases the study on on-site investigation, literature survey and analysis of the tombs to dispense plurality and coming together of foreign, local and Indic elements.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences.

Appropriating Indo-Saracenic style: Bhai Ram Singh’s contributions to the architectural identity of 19th century Lahore
No full textAfter 1857, when India became a direct colony of the British Crown, was the architectural style adopted by the colonial masters an attempt at subverting the local identity and reasserting their supremacy via architecture or was its purpose to engage their institutions with their context? Was the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture anachronistic and reductive in nature or was it a way to draw on the past? What role did the Jeypore Portfolio play in negotiating colonial intent by appropriating traditional building culture? How did Bhai Ram Singh mediate an identity for 19th century Lahore by contextualizing Indo-Saracenic architecture? This exploratory study attempts to answer these questions using existing literary sources and by considering buildings designed by Bhai Ram Singh in the city of Lahore. The paper also critically evaluates the agency of the Jeypore Portfolio for Indo-Saracenic architecture, how it reduced the centuries-old local building tradition to a limited palette of details, and Bhai Ram Singh’s attempts to re-inform it from the native’s perspective.A partir de 1857, cuando la India se convirtió en una colonia sujeta al control directo de la corona británica, ¿fue el estilo arquitectónico adoptado por la potencia colonial un intento de subvertir la identidad local y reafirmar su supremacía a través de la arquitectura o era su propósito integrar sus instituciones en el contexto? ¿Tuvo el estilo “indo-sarraceno” una naturaleza arquitectónica anacrónica y reductora o se trataba de una forma de inspirarse en el pasado? ¿Qué papel desempeñó el Jeypore Portfolio en la negociación de las pretensiones coloniales mediante la apropiación de la cultura tradicional de construcción? ¿Cómo propició Bhai Ram Singh una identidad para el Lahore del siglo XIX al contextualizar la arquitectura “indo-sarracena”? Estas son las preguntas que dieron lugar a este estudio preliminar, en el que se utilizaron las fuentes literarias existentes y se analizaron los edificios proyectados por Bhai Ram Singh en la ciudad de Lahore. En el artículo también se hace una valoración crítica de la intervención del Jeypore Portfolio en la arquitectura “indo-sarracena”: cómo redujo una tradición constructiva centenaria a una paleta limitada de detalles, y los intentos de Bhai Ram Singh para darle forma desde la perspectiva autóctona
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
