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
Hegemony
No full textThe vision of sport as a site where hegemonic purposes can be realized implies the evaluation of the extent to which the dominant groups have been able to shape the prevailing sport’s structure according to organizational and playing methods that lead to the acceptance of dominant values and the discipline of subordinates.
The need for leisure is directed towards sports practices promoting the incorporation of industrial values, work discipline, productivity and market logic.
Moreover, the prevailing dimension of entertainment and business leads to the organization of competitions by virtue of economic interest and commercial exploitation. This has led, for many sports, to the change of game rules, in order to sound more attractive; moreover, scheduling and organizations of events have gone through changes, so to meet media and marketing needs. Finally, some transformations have also affected the amplification of spectacular or aesthetic elements, as well as the transformation of athletes into brands.
Although residual experiences and alternatives to the dominant model are still possible, they have to deal with the power of the hegemonic logic
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
Social class
No full textThe social class includes people characterized by the same material, occupational and often educational conditions. Social belonging, and the different money availability, are factors influencing the possibility of practicing or following a sport, but they have also some impacts on values and tastes towards specific sports disciplines. Playing sports has its costs, which vary according to the typology, while the fact of residing in places with adequate facilities, transport and medical services can play the role of facilitator. Being a sports fan also involves money availability in order to access the consumption of sports products and services.
The sports industry tends to segment the consumer (athlete or fan) on the basis of socio-economic variables, to provide different budget options depending on the class membership and the financial resources. The growing involvement of less wealthy groups in sports consumption has been important for the economy of this sector, although different types of experiences are provided to each stratum of the social class according to the budget involved
Lifestyle sports
No full textWhen we talk about lifestyle sports, we refer to a wide range of activities, some well-established, others still emerging. All of them are focused on the personal experience and emphasize peculiar ethos and identity carrying community values, in constant search for emotions.
At the basis there is usually creativity, vitality, excitement, relationship with nature, aesthetic, expressive and non-aggressive elements: the kind of lifestyle that wants to appear authentic and in contrast with classic social conventions.
However, these characteristics have been incorporated in the market and consumption logic. Many companies have seen a profitable business for the sale of equipment, clothing and related products, as well as for the sponsorship of events and athletes.
What is sold to the consumer is not just a sporting or recreational activity but a whole lifestyle. However, the growing commercialization, standardization and regulation of these disciplines, the broadening of the competitive dimension, the intensive search for branded products, all add contradictions and conflicts in relation to the original essence of these sports practices
