Das ,Deutschtum‘ verteidigen: (Dis-)Kontinuitäten im ,Grenzland‘-Aktivismus zwischen Österreich und Slowenien (circa 1900–1970)
Get PDFThe article examines (dis)continuities with regard to organisational frameworks, individual careers, ideological foundations as well as practices of nationalist activism in contact zones. On the example of today’s Austrian-Slovenian borderland, the contribution focuses on specific German Nationalist (and later National Socialist) aspirations to homogenize the diverse population of targeted territories in favour of ‘Germanness’. It takes into account the preconditions and histories of German nationalist ‘Grenzland’ consciousness in the Austrian provinces of Carinthia and Styria as well as their neighbouring Slovene territories (Upper Carniola and Lower Styria) and traces the development of what is termed ‘Grenzland’-activism across the ruptures of 1918, 1938/39/41 and 1945 up until the 1970s. With this spatial and temporal focus, the article not only shows the intertwinements of as well as changing emphasis on historical, biological and cultural justifications of this nationalist activism in the context of shifting state borders. By working out and relating the specifics of each phase, the paper at hand also uncovers the striking continuities of ideological, individual and practical aspects of German nationalist activism from its beginnings to the extremist peak during the Nazi period up until the mid-/late 20th century

Educational history of Schloss Retzhof : moments of continuity and disruption in the 20th and 21st century
No full textDas südsteirische Schloss Retzhof ist heute als Bildungshaus des Landes Steiermark imErwachsenenbildungsbereich weithin bekannt. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mitden Entwicklungen, die an diesen Punkt geführt haben – nämlich mit der Bildungsgeschichteder Einrichtung im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert. Dabei wird die spezifische Nutzung desSchlosses für pädagogische Aktivitäten im Zeitraum zwischen 1933 und 2013 erhoben undmit den jeweiligen historischen, gesellschaftlichen und (bildungs)politischen Veränderungenin Beziehung gesetzt. Die Brüche und Kontinuitäten dieser institutionellen Geschichte werdendabei besonders ins Auge gefasst, denn die Bildungsaktivitäten am Retzhof vollzogen sichunter verschiedenen Regimen, unter verschiedenen Akteur/innen, im Licht verschiedenerideologischer Grundhaltungen und im Kontext einer im ständigen Wandel begriffenenGesellschaft.Anhand von Originaldokumenten aus in- und ausländischen Archiven, Interviews,Programmheften, Zeitungsartikel und Sekundärliteratur zeichnet diese Arbeit auf Basis einerqualitativen Inhaltsanalyse die wechselhafte Geschichte des Schlosses Retzhof im genanntenZeitraum nach. Dabei wird erstmals Licht auf die bisher unbekannte Vergangenheit desHauses als Gebietsführerschule der Hitlerjugend sowie auf die Geschichte der letzten privatenBesitzer/innen des Hauses geworfen. Letztere stehen auch in engem Zusammenhang mit denschwierigen Rahmenbedingungen erster Bildungsaktivitäten am Retzhof nach 1948. Diesewaren ebenfalls lange in Vergessenheit geraten und werden in dieser Arbeit fundiertdargelegt. Somit wird ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Vervollständigung des institutionellenGedächtnisses geleistet und die weitere Entwicklung der historischen Kompetenz derEinrichtung unterstützt.Retzhof castle is located in the South of Styria. Today it is well-known as an adult educationfacility maintained by the regional government of Styria. The facility however has a historyand the present research concentrates on this educational past of the Retzhof in the 20th and21st century. In doing so, the specific use of the castle for pedagogical activities of any sort ispresented. This happens in relation to the respective historical, societal and politicaldevelopments of the 80 years between 1933 and 2013. Special attention is given to themoments of continuity and disruption of this educational history as these kinds ofdevelopments evolved under the influence of different political regimes, different agents,different ideologies and in constant relation to societal developments and changes.A qualitative content analysis merges data from original documents of national andinternational archives, interviews, programs, newspapers and literature in order to (re)tell thealternating history of this educational institution. In doing so this research – for the first time –sheds light on the unknown past of the castle as training facility of the Hitler Youth as well ason the history of the last private owners of the place. The latter are important to fullyunderstand the complex and complicated conditions of the first post Second World Wareducational activities that were held at the Retzhof from 1948 on. These difficulties had alsobeen forgotten or had simply just not been narrated for a very long time. By (re)telling thishistory, the present work contributes to the completion of the Retzhof’s institutional memoryand also fosters the further development of the institution’s historical competence.vorgelegt von Lisbeth MatzerAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersZsfassungen in dt. und engl.

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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
