MOURNING-ARTS —MAPPING MULTISPECIES AESTHETIC-ETHICAL PATHWAYS
Full text linkContemporary time is marked by the proliferation of the endings of many worlds and as such the pivotal question becomes how can we become attuned, responsive, and responsible to these myriads of endings that are both material and immaterial, insensible and unintelligible to our limiting, human-only sense experience? This dissertation, oriented as an ongoing remapping project along both ethical and aesthetic fault-lines, argues and responds performatively to the imperative that thinking (as well as human-only iterations of time, space, and identity) itself be re-thought, re-defined, and practiced within the transfiguration of mourning and of the spectral— a transformation of thinking into mourning as generative, participatory, and performative mourning-with divergent, marginalized, and multispecies storytellers, participants, and ghosts. Mourning is both a deconstructing and generative constituting force that disrupts singular narratives of human exceptionalism, allowing for anthropocentrism to become loosened from classic ideologies and discourses, specifically the entrenchment of us versus them within human thinking and mapping practices. Outside of the limits of human sense experience, language, and representation mourning-with performs a reconfigured, epistemological pathway that creates a transfiguration of the ethical within aesthetics, an alternate space of ongoing weaving that I call vi the aesthetic-ethical pathway. This pathway, performed here through the methodological weaving practice of bringing together philosophical theory with narrative through the geographical motifs of land and sea, enables the work of an ongoing heteroglossic-hospitality that enlarges ecological consciousness and engages that which resists human-only senses, language, and mapping practices and enacts the space wherein we can begin to imagine equitable futurities for all manner of being to live and die well. Encountering both material and immaterial lines and threads that compose our shared and entangled worlds in-trouble requires a multispecies, more- than-human, and posthuman aesthetic-ethical imagination that allows for an ongoing poiesis of interrelationality and interdependence—the ongoing poiesis of mourning-arts.https://digitalmaine.com/academic/1065/thumbnail.jp

The Matter of Mapping Multispecies Entanglements of Mourning—A Manifesto’s Shout, An Orca’s Tour of Grief
Full text linkMapping entanglements is work—work of care, maintenance, and mourning. This project utilises a new materialist methodology inherited from the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, who follow lines of becoming to track compositions which compose worlds. To map (non-linear, temporal, and situated) lines of loss across multispecies landscapes is material work of more-than-human mourning. The New York City-based performance artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles—alongside scholars such as María Puig de la Bellacasa and Donna J. Haraway—reorient configurations of work and care, which enable these lines to be followed into more-than-human worlds. Mapping lines of mourning into multispecies worlds is material work of the aesthetic-ethical response within shared and troubled landscapes. The key storytellers within the narrative of mourning and joy woven into this paper are the Salish Sea, the Lummi Nation, the Chinook Salmon, and the Southern Resident killer whale; the voices and cries to which this project, in work and care, is dedicated
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
