"Któż tam będzie wisiał?" – Bunt chłopski w miejskiej wyobraźni
Full text link“Who’s going to dangle there?” – Peasant revolt in urban imagination. On the Gore album by R.U.T.A. and on its reception
The author presents a review of a recent album “Gore: Songs of Rebellion and Misery from 16th to 20th Century” by a Polish punk rock / hardcore group R.U.T.A. The album, which combines traditional peasant lyrics with modern arrangements and folk instruments, has received acclaim from both fans and critics, while the band declared their commitment to struggles of contemporary progressive social movements. The author analyses the lyrics situating his reflection in sociological-historical framework to discuss realities of peasants’ lives and revolts during the second serfdom in early modern Poland. The author interprets the musical form of the songs as “punk-rock assimilation” of folklore themes. The final section contains critical reflection on the album’s marketing strategy and reception with the key dissected categories being “rebellion” and “authenticity.
Dekomunizacja, czyli faszyzm bez faszystów. O faszyzacji przestrzeni rozmawiają Konrad Matyjaszek, Xawery Stańczyk, Marcin Starnawski, Katrin Stoll i Anna Zawadzka
No full textAre there fascizizing ways to look at public space and aesthetics? If so, how do they manifest themselves? What characterizes the fascization of space? How and where can you recognize it? How do architecture and symbols in public space contribute to fascization of daily life? One of them is a policy of cleansing and rhetoric about recovering after an imaginary foreign domination or invasion. The aim of this conversation is to elucidate the concept of the fascization of public space. The discussants do this by drawing on examples from the history of Poland and Germany as well as the present-day situation in both countries. They also consider how we can clarify the category of fascization in order to distinguish this process from other phenomena such as nationalism
On “Modernity and the Holocaust” – inspirations and critique after three decades
No full textThe article discusses the main theses of Zygmunt Bauman’s book Modernity and the Holocaust, the contexts of its writing and its early critical reception in the 1990s. As an introduction to the issue’s theme, it focuses on the proposals for a contemporary interpretation of Bauman’s work put forward by the authors of the articles published in this issue of Studia Litteraria et Historica. In the final section, the author proposes a reading of Modernity and the Holocaust in relation to educational issues raised in the 1960s by Theodor W. Adorno
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
A New Diaspora Space: Transnational Connections Among Polish Jews after the 1968 Antisemitic Campaign and Exile
Full text linkThe article discusses transnational dimensions of the aftermath of Poland’s March 1968 antisemitic campaign, which resulted in the exile of approximately half of the Jewish population of the country at that time. It highlights some typical aspects of the diasporic experience, sequencing them diachronically – early trajectories, e.g. coping with family separation, then the maintenance of community through organized reunions and global communication, and attempts at representation – and offers an overview of the networking efforts in terms of reintegration processes that can be seen as a collective response to the stigma of antisemitism and national exclusion. The article focuses on the experiences of the “March ’68 generation,” that is, those Polish Jews who were raised after the Holocaust and were young adults or teenagers at the time of the Jewish exodus from Poland in the late 1960s. The author explores autobiographic narratives, looking at how post-1968 diasporic experiences were remembered and interpreted and what significance exiles and non-exiles attached to these episodes of their lives. The inclusion of the non-émigré perspectives into the diasporic framework broadens the picture of responses to antisemitism by those affected. The core data come from three series of biographical interviews with émigrés and non-émigrés taken in 2001–2023, supplemented by selections from émigré press and other autobiographical accounts. The triangulation of research data was applied in a qualitative analysis of personally narrated life stories and of texts that reflect collective efforts at maintaining ties among people for whom the 1967–1968 antisemitic campaign, forced emigration, and the resulting separation were significant biographic and community changes. The article is a contribution to the historical sociology of Polish Jewry spanning the period of five decades, from the late 1960s political crisis in Poland’s communism to the 50th anniversary of the “March ’68 events” in 2018
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
