The jingling Geordie: community arts and the regional culture of the North East of England
Get PDFIn the light of the massive economic and social changes which have affected the North East of England over the last 25 years, the author assesses the vitality of the indigenous culture and reflects upon current cultural trends and the North East’s future, particularly in relation to a regional Europe. He traces the folk-tradition of the region and looks at ways in which this can be drawn upon to develop a meaningful link between past and present. He looks closely at the changing nature of class-relationships in the North East and reflects upon how a valid local culture can survive in a multi-cultural society. He draws upon his own extensive experience in Community Arts, looking at definitions of the term in the new political climate and arguing for its positive contribution to the cultural debate. He dwells on the issue of regionalism and devolution in a new Europe, comparing the situation in the North East of England with political and cultural changes in Scotland and other parts of the United Kingdom

RUHUMAN: The Typewriter Art of Keith Armstrong
No full textA monograph of Keith Armstrongs Typewriter Art and visual poetry with essays by Tom Gill, Nicola Simpson, and Barrie Tullett.Barrie Tullett and Tom Gill’s masterful book on Keith Armstrong opens up a splendid oeuvre for a new generation of reader-viewers. Keith Armstrong’s brilliant inventiveness is an essential part of the concrete poetry movement and can now at long last be fully appreciated. This book will be essential reading for artists, designers, and typographers.Jeremy AdlerWith the twenty-first century resurgence of interest in typewriter art, the publication of RUHUMAN by Keith Armstrong is reason for celebration. The work is a joyous and loving homage to a man whose work engages with sound, pattern, colour, geometry, type, and life. There’s peace and minimalism here. There’s also noise and clutter. It sates me and makes me hunger for more.Amanda EarlKeith Armstrong was one of the more underrated exponents of the 1960/70s British poetry revolution. Experienced in retrospect, his complete work comes as a revelation. Following trails embarked upon by his heroes Bob Cobbing, Dom Sylvester Houédard, and Henri Chopin, Armstrong’s work is restless, engaging, and constantly innovative. For a decade back then he caught the zeitgeist. And as a bonus what he created has aged wonderfully.Peter Finch</p

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
