The Book as a Place of Collage
No full text"The companion to COLLAGE::BOOKS, a symposium about the role of publishing in collage, considers as a point of departure that the book, not the gallery, is the best place to experience collage. In this book, Kolaj Magazine Editor Ric Kasini Kadour investigates this idea using examples from the magazine's collection of collage books and work by presenters at the symposium. Kadour traces the history of collage publishing, offers a taxonomy of various publishing activities, and discusses the function of the book in art practice, for art professionals, for viewer or collector. The book includes a statement identifying strategies for supporting the book as a mean of distribution and (like exhibition) as a viable and respected part of an artist's practice." -- Editor's websit
Kasini society : some aspects of the social organization of an Athapaskan culture between 1900-1950
No full textThis study provides a description and analysis of the Kasini, a small group of northern Athapaskan Indians. Though it presents a considerable body of ethnographic material from a previously unstudied area, its main concern is to elucidate a form of organization that prevailed, between 1900-1950, in the southeastern Yukon. Kasini social relations were subject to change and the general character of social organization was not predicated on a fixed normative order. Accordingly, I have focused on individual experience and emphasized the emergent quality of social relations in particular contexts instead of assuming a fixed institutional framework and attempting to understand the order of Kasini social life in its terms.
This study seeks to discover the reasons for changes in Kasini relations, the means they had for recognizing changed relations, and the methods used to portray different kinds of relationship.
Social relations are examined from the perspective of activities and ideas. Chapters three and four describe resources used by Kasini and outline the annual "sequence of activity resulting from their exploitation. This provides the single most demanding framework governing Kasini behavior and the description reveals that Kasini were subject to frequent group realignment, and that relative ability in the food quest was a critical consideration in the formation of all comestic groups. Chapters five and six discuss certain fundamental Kasini ideas and show how these pervade Kasini culture and provide a base-line for Kasini recognition of relationship in different contexts.
The remainder of the study is an attempt to understand certain aspects of Kasini social life in the light of the frameworks of resources and ideas. Chapters seven and eight examine kinship and the social categories used by people who were in frequent contact. Differences in individual ability relate to and determine preferred combinations of people which constitute domestic groups. Evidence is presented, to show how behavior influenced the use of social categories and perception of relationships. For individuals in frequent contact, there was a tendency to employ social categories according to certain rules, which are described. These constitute a sub-class of a broader set of categories including those used between people in infrequent contact. This larger set is described and the institution of marriage is shown to be a pivotal structure, creating crucial bonds within Kasini society at large.Arts, Faculty ofAnthropology, Department ofGraduat
Research on interface design for preschool student software / Mohd Khairussalleh Mohd Kasini
Get PDFIn the middle of 1980, our Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Dr. Mahadhir Mohamad had declared to merge our country from the agricultural country to industrial country. From that day, many foreign companies that involve in many type of discipline work invest in our country. We had imported many expertise and technology in factory sector. Nowadays when our country towards to cyber era, many expertise and technology had imported in information technology (IT). The kindergarten especially located at elite area such as Shah Alam and Subang Jaya has merge the learning method by offer computer class to give the early exposure to the children on the basic of IT applications uses. The children is taught using edutainment software in computer class. This project is done to find out the problem that has related with edutainment software interface and propose the proper interface. Some respondents among the children, computer tutor, and principal of kindergarten are selected and involve for this purpose
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
