The Scottish Church, 1525-1559: A Study in Abortive Reform
No full textThe Catholic Reformation has been, until recent years, largely neglected by researchers of the period. Historians have felt, with little justification, that the Catholic Reformation was less interesting than the Protestant Reformation. And while political histories of the Reformation abound, and economic and social histories are becoming commonplace, the Catholic Reformation has remained pretty much unresearched. Protestants have written biographical and other studies on their founders, while Catholics tended only to react polemically. But now historians have turned to the Catholic Reformation as an area of research, more and more works are appearing on all aspects of the movement.
But although scholars have touched upon Catholic reform throughout most of Europe, they have failed to treat Scotland. There are numerous works which treat Scotland after the fall of Catholicism, but few, if any, treat the period before the rise of Knox. Authors who do include the Catholic Reformation, limit themselves to a survey chapter in which they show how corrupt the Catholic Church was in Scotland, but fail completely to acknowledge the complexities of the situation. In most cases, they write only to give introduction to their own research, and not as scholars investigating the period for itself. A History of the Catholic Reformation in Scotland was needed, and the author has attempted to fill this gap in our historical knowledge.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Rabbit meat: a valuable source of nutrition or too-cute-to-eat?
No full textRabbit meat is a component of traditional diets, often incorporated into iconic dishes of regional cuisine. Its consumption is tracing back to the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean and beyond, well into the Paleolithic era. Even though it has been representing considerable nutritional and cultural value since millennia, a decline in consumption is now noticeable. Specific categorial dynamics are at play, which are related to the various superimposed roles of rabbits as livestock, game, pests, laboratory animals, and pets. Their perceived cuteness in particular can lead to emotional responses that are hard to reconcile with the sensitivities of the post-domestic paradigm. Such effects compromise the acceptability of rabbit meat in contemporary Western societies that are typified by problematic human-animal interactions and a disconnect from the food chain. Especially the young and urban populations now seem to have difficulties facing the notion that the production of food requires the killing of animals. As a result, a traditional food source risks becoming irrelevant despite its high nutritional value and potential for sustainable meat production, due to reasons that are emotive rather than rational
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
