The Assump tions of Michael Barnes’ Theology of dialogue
Get PDFMichael Barnes is a British Jesuit and one of the
theologians focused on the contemporary theology
of religion. His theology of dialogue is an attempt
to reflect upon a Christian understanding of the
religious pluralism commonly experienced today.
As an inclusivist, he distances himself from the
views of John Hick and other pluralist theologians.
Drawing upon Karl Rahner’s concept of “anonymous
Christians”, Barnes develops it further using
Emmanuel Levinas’ philosophy of dialogue. The
Jesuit uses its assumptions in order to interpret the
documents of the Second Vatican Council and to
point out the ethical aspect of interreligious dialogue.
For Michael Barnes, a dialogue with the
representatives of other religions is a condition for
discovering one’s own identity and for recognizing
divine activity in the world

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
Living Interreligiously
No full textMichael Barnes, S.J., proposes fruitful parallels between comparative theology and pastoral theology. Both can provide reflection on the inner or contemplative dialogue provoked by the myriad relationships that make up the Church’s “outer life”—relationships with the poor, the marginalized, the disadvantaged, the unbeliever—and that remain essential even alongside efforts to build relationships with those who profess different religious faiths. As Barnes sees it, contextual pastoral responsibility and interfaith engagement are practices of faith characteristic of a Church called to engage in serious witness to and learning from the people among whom we actually dwell. This vital contextualization broadens the context for the work of “reading” in comparative theology: in today’s pluralist world, “living interreligiously” demands attention not just to the traces of divine wisdom revealed in ancient texts, but also to places and monuments, ancient artifacts and contemporary cultural icons that shape and deepen faith within a community, while also instigating conversation and debate beyond familiar boundaries.</p
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
