License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/).Artikkelen tek føre seg Demian Vitanzas Dette livet eller det neste (2017) for å diskutere kva det vil seia å fortelja og gjenfortelja eit liv. Romanen utforskar eit etisk og litterært grenseland, der forhandlinga mellom Tariq (som fortel livet sitt) og forfattaren (som gjenfortel det) gjer det mogleg å realisere og problematisere livshistoria til ein norsk framandkrigar. Med utgangspunkt i diskusjonar om fiksjonell referensialitet og etikk i romanar som baserer seg på eit faktisk liv, blir det argumentert for at romanen forhandlar fram både ein røyndomskontrakt og ein fiksjonskontrakt, noko som gjer at den narrative konstruksjonen kan overta for livet som er levd. Vidare argumenterer artikkelen for at den eksplisitte forhandlinga i romanen, som gir kjelda medråderett over si eiga livshistorie, skaper eit korrektiv til etikken i røyndomslitteraturen.Abstract: This article explores Demian Vitanza’s Dette livet eller det neste (2017; This Life or the Next) and discusses what it means to tell and retell a life. The novel enters an ethical and literary borderland in which the negotiation between Tariq (who is telling his life story) and the author (who re-tells Tariq’s life) functions as the central element to convey and problematize the life story of a Norwegian foreign fighter. The point of departure is discussions on fictional referentiality and ethics in fiction based on actual lives, and the article argues that the novel closes both a reality contract and a fictional contract, making it possible for the narrative construction to substitute the lived life. Furthermore, the explicit negotiation in the novel, where the author gives the source the possibility to be heard in questions pertaining to his life story, functions as a corrective to the ethics in other novels read as life writing.publishedVersio
Skandinaviske fortellinger om skyld og privilegier i en globaliseringstid
No full textSkandinaver er stort sett privilegerte. Gang på gang kåres vi som verdens rikeste, lykkeligste og mest egalitære land. Samtidig fører globaliseringen de ikke-privilegerte Andre rett inn i våre liv. Gjennom media og innvandring konfronteres vi daglig med bevisstheten om Andres lidelse, ikke minst flyktningenes. Et vell av samtidsfortellinger indikerer at den globale ulikheten ikke bare fører til at skandinaver priser seg lykkelige for egne privilegier, men også føler et ubehag og det vi kaller «skandinaviske skyldfølelser». I elleve artikler utforsker forfatterne av denne boken disse fortellingene om skyldfølelser (eller en tilsynelatende mangel på dem) i film, litteratur, politiske taler, tv-serier og undervisningsmateriell, fra «Hjernevask» til «Operasjon Dagsverk». Elisabeth Oxfeldt er bokens redaktør. Øvrige bidragsytere er Per Thomas Andersen, Adriana Margareta Dancus, Ylva Frøjd, Frode Helland, Kristina Leganger Iversen, Ellen Rees, Kristian Lødemel Sandberg, Ove Solum, Trygve Wyller og Julianne Q.

Arbeiderklassen, Édouard Louis og Kjartan Fløgstad. Et kritisk tilbakeblikk på debattene rundt Farvel til Eddy Bellegueule i Frankrike og Norge
Get PDFIn 2016 the author Kjartan Fløgstad criticized the Norwegian reception to the novel The End of Eddy by the French author Édouard Louis, sparking a debate that would culminatein a stand-off between Louis and Fløgstad in the weekly newspaper Morgenbladet. Thedebate brought both esthetical and political questions pertaining to the depiction of theworking class to the surface. In this article, we argue that the politically charged question ofchoosing either class solidarity or identity politics over the other lay at the core of thedebate, and we show that Fløgstad’s criticism in many regards coincided with critical view-points raised by French journalists and academics two years earlier. By comparing the crit-ical French voices with Fløgstad’s criticism, and by examining not only the rhetorical and political conflict between the two debaters but also their meeting points, we cast a new lighton both the French pendant to the Norwegian debate, and on the political dimensions andlarger context of the debate.publishedVersio
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
