No full textSectarian Cult, Religion Family and Local Society: The Case Study of Yao Wen-yu Family of Qingyuan County, Zhejiang from Late 17th to Mid-19th Century
No full text明正德年間（1506-1521）以來大量興起的民間教派，如羅清（1442-1527）、殷繼南（1527-1582）、姚文宇（1578-1646）所統合的吃齋人教派，其實是在地方社會中提供宗教服務：包括處理生死大事、驅災祈福、娛樂及慈善互助的人群組織。是什麼「社會條件」促使這些民間教派形成？它的發展牽動哪些重大的歷史變化？這些非屬佛、道的民間教派，在常民生活中扮演何種角色？其所建立的「宗教家庭」，是否為地方社會「人群組織」結構性改變的關鍵因素？
本文依序討論問題如下：首先，原生於北方的羅教如何轉變成流行於浙南、閩北地區的姚門教、老官齋教，乃至於之後的江南齋教？其次，這些民間教派的發展基礎與過程為何？最後，透過釐清姚文宇家族建立民間教派及發展過程，重新反省地方社會歷史發展與人群組織法則變化的相關問題。
基於前人研究成果與實地田野調查，本文結合寶卷與族譜等民間文獻，還原浙江省慶元縣姚門教主姚文宇的家族歷史，並重新梳理明清以來中國東南沿海地區民間教派組織的發展過程，及其發揮的歷史作用。The rise of sectarian cults was one of the most significant religious changes that happened in local society from late seventeenth century China. This article combines archival research and field work to reestablish a Qingyuan county based cult leader, Yao Wen-yu (1578-1646) and his family history, to explore the role of his vegetarian cult in Southeastern China, especially in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces from the late 17th to the mid-19th century. This article suggests that in addition to spreading their teaching, the organization built by Yao and his followers actually offered various religious services, including group classical chanting, funeral mutual aid service, and charitable drive to serve the daily life religious needs of local society. Moreover, regarding societal changes since the late Ming dynasty, this article also argues that Yao’s local cult organization should be considered a “religion family” in local society, because their teaching and organization actually had built a fictive kinship organization to go beyond the traditional kinship organization’s limits to serve the people who chose to escape from their original family. By examining this period of Yao cult family and Late Ming to Mid-Qing history, this article sheds light on the dynamic, fluid community religious life in local society
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
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
