"Aber es handelt sich eben um ein phantastisches Land"
No full textDas Thema der vorliegenden Dissertation lautet Das Österreichbild in den literarischen Werken Jörg Mauthes - ein Beitrag zur Identitätsgeschichte der Zweiten Republik und hat Jörg Mauthe und das Bild Österreichs, das er in seinen literarischen Werken propagiert, zum Inhalt. Ausgehend von der Biographie Mauthes, die bereits auf eine leidenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit dem Thema Österreich verweist, der Darstellung der literarischen Werke des Journalisten, Autors und Politikers und einer Skizzierung des aktuellen Forschungsstandes werden vor allem die beiden wichtigen Romane Die große Hitze (1974) und Die Vielgeliebte (1979) genauer hinsichtlich ihrer Relevanz für das Thema Österreich untersucht und ihre Bezüge zu Wien und Österreich herausgearbeitet. Beide Romane sind als vielschichtige Texte zu lesen (auch als Schlüsselromane der politischen sowie gesellschaftlichen Situation in den 70er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts, als Utopie und schließlich auch als programmatische Texte für eine spezielles Österreichbild), die einige der in den früher erschienenen Publikationen des Autors, vor allem in den sogenannten Wien-Führern, propagierten Thesen weiter ausführen und literarisch umsetzen. In der Großen Hitze wird die Suche nach einer möglichen Staatsdoktrin beschrieben, was stellvertretend für Österreichs Suche nach eine neuen Identität und einem neuen Selbstverständnis nach 1945 gesehen werden muss. Diese neue Identität versucht Mauthe in all seinen Texten zu finden bzw. zu definieren. Danach folgt der zweite Teil, der mit einer allgemeinen Definition des "Österreichischen" im Sinne des Autors beginnt und sich ausführlich mit den für Mauthe relevanten Aspekten Österreichs (barockes Erbe, Katholizismus, Traum) auseinandersetzt. Die sehr spärliche Sekundärliteratur über Mauthe verweist auf seine Vorbilder, von denen er sehr viel (Namen, Topoi usw.) übernimmt und diese intertextuellen Elemente in den Kontext seiner eigenen Sichtweise Österreichs stellt. Dieser Aspekt wird in einem eigenen Kapitel genauer untersucht und auf die verschiedenen intertextuellen Elemente, die Mauthe von seinen „Heiligen“ (Roth, Musil, Doderer, Herzmanovsky-Orlando) übernimmt, genauer eingegangen. Mit diesem Rekurs auf die klassischen österreichischen Autoren, die auch im Zusammenhang mit einer neuen Identitätsfindung der Zweiten Republik zu sehen sind, ist eine Hinwendung zur Vergangenheit verbunden, die in Altösterreich das identitätsstiftende Element der Zweiten Republik sieht. Damit ist auch eine zukünftige Rolle Österreichs in Europa verbunden, die den Autor in die Tradition eines von Magris und Greiner propagierten habsburgischen Mythos stellt, und Österreich als Mittler zwischen West und Ost sowie als geistiges Zentrum eines neu erstehenden mitteleuropäischen Raumes sieht. Dieser wichtige Aspekt wird ebenfalls in einem eigenen Kapitel genauer untersucht, und Mauthes Auffassung des habsburgischen Mythos hinsichtlich seiner Literatur kritisch beleuchtet. Der in den Werken auffallend oft beschriebene Antagonismus Österreich-Deutschland ist ein weiteres Grundmotiv der Literatur Mauthes, der aus der gemeinsamen Vergangenheit beider Länder erklärbar scheint, und eine wichtige Komponente der Identitätsfindung der Zweiten Republik darstellt (Österreich ist nicht deutsch, sondern eben speziell „österreichisch“, was Mauthe permanent zu zeigen versucht). Anhand der verschiedenen aufgezeigten Aspekte des Mautheschen Österreichbildes soll abschließend eine Positionierung unternommen werden, die den Autor Mauthe als Einzelgänger hinsichtlich seiner Werke und seiner Biographie im literaturhistorischen Kontext zeigt. Da es kaum Sekundärliteratur zu Mauthe gibt, stützt sich diese Arbeit vor allem auf Mauthes eigene Schriften und die seiner literarischen Vorbilder (Roth, Musil, Doderer, Herzmanovsky-Orlando).The topic of the doctoral thesis at hand reads as follows The Picture of Austria in Jörg Mauthe’s Literary Works - a Contribution to the History of Identity of the Second Republic and focuses on Jörg Mauthe and the image of Austria, which he propagates in his literary works. On the basis of Mauthe´s biography, which already refers to a passionate occupation with the topic ‘Austria’, the representation of the literary works of the journalist, author and politician and an outlining of the current state of research above all the two important novels Die große Hitze (1974) and Die Vielgeliebte (1979) are examined more closely regarding their relevance to the topic ‘Austria’, and their reference to Vienna and Austria is worked out. Both novels are to be read as multilayered texts (also as key novels of the political as well as social situation in the 70's of the last century, as utopias and finally also as programmatic texts on a special image of Austria), which continue to work out and literarily convert some of the publicized theses, which appeared in the author’s texts published earlier, particularly in the so called “Wien-Führern” (Vienna-guides). In Die große Hitze Mauthe describes the search for a possible state doctrine, which must be seen as an example of a search for a new identity and self conception of Austria after 1945. Mauthe tries to find or define this new identity in all of his texts. After that the second part follows, which begins with a general definition of the “Austrian self” in the author’s sense and deals with aspects of Austria (baroque inheritance, Catholicism, dream) relevant to Mauthe. The very meagre secondary literature on Mauthe refers to his role models, from which he adopts very much (names, topoi etc.) and puts these intertextual elements into the context of his own perception of Austria. This aspect is examined more widely in a special chapter, in which these different intertextual elements, which Mauthe takes over from his “holy ones“ (Roth, Musil, Doderer, Herzmanovsky Orlando), are more closely examined. With this reference to the classical Austrian authors, who are also to be seen in connection with the finding of a new identity of the Second Republic, a turning towards the past is connected, which defines Old Austria as a relevant element of the identity of the Second Republic. This is also linked with a future role of Austria in Europe which places the author into the tradition of Magris´ and Greiner´s Habsburg myth and sees Austria as an intermediator between the West and the East as well as a mental centre of a resurgent Central European area. This important aspect is examined more closely in a chapter of its own, and Mauthe’s view of the Habsburg myth regarding his literature is critically illuminated. The antagonism Austria-Germany is described remarkably often in Mauthe’s works and is a further basic motive of his literature which can be explained due to the common past of both countries and represents an important component of the finding of an identity of the Second Republic (Austria is not “german”, but even particularly “austrian“, which Mauthe tries to point out permanently). Finally a positioning is to be made on the basis of the different aspects of Mauthe´s image of Austria, which shows the author as a loner regarding his works and his biography in the literary-historical context. Since there is hardly any secondary literature on Mauthe, this dissertation is based particularly upon Mauthe´s own writings and those of his literary role models (Roth, Musil, Doderer, Herzmanovsky Orlando)
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
