No full textIn den letzten Jahrzenten wurde die zentrale Bedeutung des Interkulturalitäts-Paradigmas für die Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften deutlich. Seine weitere Differenzierung und Aktualisierung gilt es profiliert zu betreiben. Aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln liefern die hier versammelten Beiträge Positionen zu Interkulturalität und machen die vielfältigen Forschungsinteressen von Michael Hofmann, zu dessen Ehren diese Festschrift erscheint, erlebbar. Der interkulturelle und interdisziplinäre Blick, der Hofmanns Forschung auszeichnet, spiegelt sich in den Beiträgen wider: Interkulturelle Konstellationen werden aus methodischer Perspektive, in literaturwissenschaftlichen und -didaktikschen Analysen und in literarischen Beiträgen beleuchtet
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
‘The Cage Called Fatherland’: The Poetry of Michael Hofmann
No full textThis thesis is the first comprehensive full-length study of the poetry of Michael Hofmann (1957–), who was born in Germany, educated in Britain and now lives in the United States. Widely hailed as one of the most original and influential voices in British poetry during the 1980s and early 1990s, I argue that Hofmann’s five published volumes of poetry, from his debut Nights In The Iron Hotel (1983) to his latest collection, One Lark, One Horse (2018), chronicle the poet’s sentimental and intellectual education from adolescence to middle-age, as well as the traumatic emotional experiences that arose out of poet’s relationship with his father, the German novelist Gert Hofmann (1931–1993), whom Hofmann portrayed to shocking effect in his breakthrough second collection, Acrimony (1986). Furthermore, I argue that Hofmann’s work may be interpreted as an exploration of the geo-existential anxiety prompted by his inability to fully integrate himself in the places he has lived in throughout his life, in particular Germany, Britain, and the U.S., elucidating why Hofmann has described his poetry as constituting an ‘extended passport application’. Methodologically, this thesis situates itself at the intersection between close reading textual analyses, psycho-biographical investigations of the poet’s life, and narrative perspectives that contextualise the sociopolitical field of references Hofmann weaves into his poems. Furthermore, I examine Hofmann’s chief literary influences, revealing that while he was heavily inspired by the example of Robert Lowell’s confessional model, his work was also shaped by other poetic mentors, including Ian Hamilton and Hugo Williams. My thesis concludes with an overview of the poet’s forty-three-year career, while charting the influence he has exerted on other poets, testifying to the value and importance of his oeuvre in the contemporary British tradition.</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
