Theology in the flesh – a model for theological anthropology as embodied sensing
Full text linkThe author proposes a model for theological anthropology as embodied sensing that is
based on an interdisciplinary exploration of the corporeal turn from a southern African
perspective. The work of James B. Nelson is acknowledged, stating that body theology
starts with the concrete, the bodily expressions of life and not with doctrines about God and
humanity. The theological anthropology of David H. Kelsey is evaluated as a theological
anthropology with a sentiment of the flesh. Based on clearings in the work of David Kelsey
and an interdisciplinary research, the author proposes a model for theological anthropology
as embodied sensing which functions within the intricate and complex connection of the
living body, language and experiencing in a concrete lifeworld with an openness to the
‘more than’. The author considers the use of bodymapping within narrative therapy as a
way in which to uncover the intimate and intricate connection between the living body,
experience and language, and implementing insights from theological anthropology as
embodied sensing.http://www.hts.org.zaam201
Theology in the flesh - embodied sensing, consciousness and the mapping of the body
Full text linkDr Jacob Meiring is part of
the research project,
‘Theology of Nature’, directed
by Prof. Dr Johan Buitendag
(Dean, Faculty of Theology,
Department Dogmatics and
Christian Ethics, Faculty of
Theology, University of
Pretoria.)Flowing from his model for a contemporary theological anthropology as embodied sensing, the
author focuses on the corporeal-linguistic turn in the 21st century and explores how his use of
bodymapping, as an applied aspect of theological anthropology within the context of narrative
therapy, intersects with the work of the neuro-scientist, Antonio Damasio on consciousness,
and specifically his research on how the brain constantly maps the body in the brain. The
author also explores the notion of sensing in the latest book of the Irish philosopher Richard
Kearney and based on this, expands his model for theological anthropology to the embodied
sensing of meaning.http://www.hts.org.zaam2016Dogmatics and Christian Ethic
Ubuntu and the body : a perspective from theological anthropology as embodied sensing
Full text linkThis article resulted from
research done for my PhD
thesis, ‘Theology in the flesh:
Exploring the corporeal turn
from a southern African
perspective’. This joint
degree was awarded by
the University of Pretoria
and the Vrije Universiteit,
Amsterdam, with
Prof. Dr J.C. Müller and
Prof. Dr E.A.J.G. van der
Borght as supervisors.The author asks whether the notion of ubuntu truly exists within contemporary South
African society and how the experiencing of South Africans’ embodiment can be connected
to ubuntu – especially amongst black people. The notion of ubuntu is briefly explored within
law and theology. The author has recently proposed a model for a contemporary theological
anthropology as ‘embodied sensing’ which functions within the intimate relationship of the
lived body, experiencing in a concrete life-world, language, and the ‘more than’. It is from this
perspective that the notion of ubuntu is explored.http://www.ve.org.zaam201

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
