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
Lewis v. Clarke
Full text linkOne manner in which Indian tribes exercise their inherent sovereignty is by asserting sovereign immunity. In Lewis v. Clarke, the Court decided that the sovereign immunity extended to instrumentalities of tribes did not further extend to tribal employees acting within the scope of their employment. The Court acknowledged the concerns of the lower court, namely, the possibility of setting a precedent allowing future plaintiffs to sidestep a tribe’s sovereign immunity by suing a tribal employee in his individual capacity. However, the Supreme Court ultimately felt that the immunity of tribal employees should not exceed the immunity extended to state and federal employees sued in their individual capacity
The Core Beliefs of Southern Evangelicals: A Psycho-Social Investigation of the Evangelical Megachurch Phenomenon
No full textTHE CORE BELIEFS OF SOUTHERN EVANGELICALS:
A PSYCHO-SOCIAL INVESTIGATION OF THE
EVANGELICAL MEGACHURCH PHENOMENON
JENNIFER EATON DYER
Dissertation under the direction of Professor Lewis V. Baldwin
In this dissertation, I explore the worldview of southern evangelicals. In doing so, I first describe the current, thriving evangelical subculture including the social, political, and commercial spheres of influence and behavior. Because evangelicalism predominantly arises out of southern culture, I explore the interplay of influence between southern cultural themes and evangelical themes in myth, perception, and reality. Furthermore, I consider how southern evangelicalism and evangelical behavior now influence greater America, particularly through the evangelical megachurch phenomenon.
I investigate the evangelical megachurch phenomenon from both a sociological and psychological perspective. With a critique of rational choice theory, I suggest the theatre, as an alternative model to the marketplace, may be the best model by which to understand the megachurch today. Concomitantly, I approach a psychological understanding of evangelicals from three different psychological schools of thought: object-relations theory, psychoanalytic development theory, and cognitive theory. All provide a different angle by which to understand the thought-world of evangelicals in the megachurch, yet all point to the fundamental core beliefs of evangelicals as helplessness and unloveability. Thus, cognitive theory provides the best theory by which to understand the psychology of evangelicals. In this research, I provide a new way to understand southern evangelicals using a psychological lens.

Lewis v. Clarke
Full text linkThe nation to nation relationship between tribes and the federal government is unique. Within that relationship, the federal government acknowledges and respects tribal sovereignty. An important aspect of sovereignty is sovereign immunity. Lewis v. Clarke confronts the applicability of sovereign immunity through an extension of tribal sovereignty over an employee defendant. After having heard oral argument, the United States Supreme Court could either reaffirm or severely limit the applicability of tribal sovereign immunity to “arms” of a tribe. While the lower court analyzed tribal sovereign immunity by considering the damages sought, the Supreme Court opinion portends to extend far beyond just this negligence claim
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
