    Family Continuity and Territorial Power in Early Medieval West Francia. A Reconsideration of the 'House' of Vermandois (9th-10th Centuries)

    No full text
    © 2018 The Author(s). The political history of early medieval West Francia is often conceived of as the story of influential lineages. This article explores the territorial power and social status of the “house of Vermandois” in the ninth and tenth centuries, suggesting that (a) there is only rare proof of large-scale continuity between different generations of the lineage, (b) there is no evidence that the accumulation of wealth into the hands of the family was the chief purpose of the actions of individual “Herbertians,” and (c) the traditional picture of a “house” is indebted to modern historians confused by post–tenth-century sources.sponsorship: The author disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: The research for this article was conducted during the project The Authority of the Bishop in the post-Carolingian and pre-Gregorian Era (ca. 900-ca. 1050) at KU Leuven, funded by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO).

    In dit rapport hebben we themas van bouwkundig erfgoed afgebakend en kort toegelicht. Elke uniek beschermd onroerend goed maakt deel uit van één onderzoekspakket. Uit de analyse zijn zes themas naar voor gekomen waarvan het beschermd bouwkundig erfgoed prioritair onderzocht moet worden: kerkenhoeves, industrieel erfgoed, stedenbouwkundige ensembles, landgoederen en naoorlogs erfgoed

    This thesis zooms in on the the social, familial, educational and ecclesiastical background of episcopal candidates in post-Carolingian Western Francia and on the parties involved during their appointment process. In particular, I have analyzed the representation of the bishops of the church province of Reims in the 'long' tenth century (888-1049) in narrative, epistolary, diplomatic and commemorative sources from the tenth and eleventh centuries, in comparison with the extensive corpus of church legislation on episcopal appointments.status: Publishe

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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
