Dispatches from a forgotten war: Australian journalists and China’s Boxer Rebellion
No full textChina weighs heavily on Australian public discourse, influenced by perceptions that have been moulded by the stories, voices and images produced by Australian journalists reporting from China. My thesis critically examines the experiences of a group of journalists who were reporting on China at the start of the 20th century and how they interpreted the populous Asian nation for a domestic audience. While most studies looking at the way the Australian media has helped frame our images of China use the 1930s or World War II as a starting point for their analysis, this thesis investigates the importance of those reporters who covered Australia’s military involvement in the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900-01. It initially examines the role of the media in stoking anti-Chinese sentiment in the Australian colonies in the 1800s, looking at the part played by jingoistic periodicals like the Bulletin and the Boomerang . The thesis then uses original press dispatches from reporters and editors as part of aqualitative analysis of media coverage of a conflict which has often been referred to as Australia’s “forgotten” war. It will also explore the role played in press coverage of the Boxer Rebellion by George “Chinese” Morrison, a Geelong-born reporter for The Times of London who has been described by many as Australia’s most important foreign correspondent, but whose reputation should be open to more rigorous scrutiny than has been the case to date. Although some source material used in this study has been utilised by other researchers in the past to examine other issues, this thesis provides a new perspective that focuses on the role of the print media in shaping Australian views on China at the time of federation
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
