Social Media Internship for Red Sky Surf and Snow
Get PDFSTEP Category: InternshipsMy STEP Signature Project will include an internship over the course of Summer 2019 that will help to enhance my leadership in organization and professional settings and to further my understanding of the marketing operations that need to take place within a business. The internship will expose me to the depths of outreach necessary to produce and portray a successful business. The purpose of engagement in this internship is for me to gain experience and knowledge of marketing a small business that may help to prepare me for the field I want to enter professionally. My STEP Signature Project will teach me the ins and outs that go into the successful portray of a business to a community. It was also teach me the levels of work required in owning and operating a business. A leadership component is present in my Signature Project because it helps to develop my portfolio through intensive exposure to good professional business practices. My duties will be to take pictures and craft posts that will portray what the business is attempting to in the best means possible. I will have to use creativity to create the posts and to make sure I am successfully and professionally presenting the business to the community. My project will help to influence my post-graduation plans and if I want to own my own practice or not. From my STEP Signature Project, I hope to gain organization and leadership skills, professional behavior, and a new sense of independence that will transform and transition my life into the next phase.The Ohio State University Second-year Transformational Experience Program (STEP)Academic Major: Biolog

Postmodernism and Aesthetic Pluralism: Representation and Resistance in Multiverse Films
Get PDFEach narrative has a way of constructing its own fictional world or universe, but in recent years it has been nearly impossible to walk into a movie theater without entering the multiverse, an infinite array of fictional universes. Popular films in the Western world are expanding the boundaries of fiction by creating multiverse frameworks in which many cultural interactions are possible. Here, I conduct a discursive analysis of both singular and world-building multiverse narratives like A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), Marvel’s Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), and Sony and Marvel’s Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) to investigate their work of representation and resistance. Specifically, these films play with otherizing and demonstrate a theoretical understanding of why cultures are different from one another. Using relativism and pluralism on screen, they elaborate on representation or meaning-making. These films are also portrayed using a postmodern characteristic which I call aesthetic pluralism: a narrative tactic in which film borrows from the concepts and aesthetics of short-form media. Through their conceptual and stylistic elements, multiverse films embody postmodern pluralism, refusing any binary of high and low culture. As such, even despite the commercial interests of popular culture which may tokenize diversity and adhere to the conventional frame of film, these popular films are at once translating cultural processes and intentional in their mode of storytelling. They not merely another ‘opium of the people; pop culture audiences are not unmoving. Rather, multiverse films are impressive forms of postmodern expression which do the work of semiotic resistance, allowing audiences to theorize and critically engage with the ways that others make meaning.No embargoAcademic Major: Comparative Studie
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
