No full text¿Cómo debería alguien como yo, que viene de una región llena de conflictos y enfrentamientos confesionales, hablar o discutir sobre el futuro; que vive en una región que todavía es testigo de guerras interminables y turbulencias de naturaleza geopolítica y sociopolítica? Guerras que eliminan el futuro [Wars assassinate the future]. Incluso en momentos en los que la situación es calmada y tranquila y sin luchas en curso, ¿deberíamos atrevernos a planificar el futuro? Cualquier acontecimiento político podría destruirlo, cambiarlo o incluso borrarlo del mapa. Un simple discurso político que incluyese algunas amenazas y acusaciones pondría en peligro el futuro y nos llevaría al borde de una nueva guerra. En julio de 2006, Israel atacó repentinamente al Líbano. Había muchos intereses detrás de esta guerra, se podría argumentar acerca de ellos, aún así, la reacción israelí fue histérica y bárbara, y causó en el Líbano enormes catástrofes sociales y económicas, y el desplazamiento masivo de personas. La guerra provocó cientos de muertos y miles de heridos; muchos perdieron sus casas, partes de sus cuerpos; y de este modo, muchos perdieron su futuro. Los proyectos fueron cancelados y nuestras vidas se detuvieron de repente. Nos encontramos fuera de la historia
I am here but you can´t see me
No full textHow should a person like me, coming from a region full of conflicts and confessional clashes, talk about or discuss the future; living in a region that is still witnessing endless wars and turbulence of geopolitical and sociopolitical nature. Wars assassinate the future. Even at times when the situation is calm and quiet and no fighting is going on - should we dare to make a future plan? Any political event could destroy it, change it or even wipe it out. A mere political speech including a few threats and accusations would jeopardize the future and bring us to the edge of a new war. In July 2006 Israel suddenly attacked Lebanon. There were many reasons behind this war, one could argue about them. But still, the Israeli reaction was hysterical and barbaric and caused Lebanon social and economic catastrophes and the massive displacement of people. The war resulted in hundreds of dead and thousands of injured people; so many lost their homes, parts of their bodies; and thus so many lost their future. Projects were cancelled, and our lives suddenly stopped. We found ourselves outside of history
Propositions for a stage: 24 frames of a beautiful heaven
Get PDFPropositions for a stage: 24 frames of a beautiful heaven considers questions of performance and staging in relation to time. The exhibition presents work by five artists who use materials and processes that include video installation, painting, drawing, sculpture and sound. These are presented within the space of the gallery as a series of discrete ‘worlds’, theatrical scenarios that point to the tangled relationship between time, technology and the body.

Propositions for a Stage: 24 Frames of a Beautiful Heaven considers questions of performance and staging in relation to time through a range of projects that include works on paper, video installation, sculpture and sound. Taking their cue from dramaturgy and theater design, the individual works in Propositions for a Stage are presented within the space of the gallery as a series of discrete “worlds” that point to the tangled relationship between time, technology and the body.
Propositions for a Stage transforms the gallery into constellation of micro-theaters. It explores the impact that theater practice has upon exhibition making, such as in Ming Wong’s installation The Bamboo Theater (2017), which dramatizes its construction utilizing the reveal–conceal conceit that lies at the heart of theater.
The exhibition demands that we consider the different possibilities for time beyond chronological or “clock” time. Works by Wong, Uriel Orlow and Rabih Mroué address the ways in which the past, present and future might be entangled, layered, disordered or projected onto one another. Similarly Amanda Beech’s works on paper utilize advertising and pop imagery alongside references to gaming and computational form to question the relationship between time, cause and effect.
To enter into the space–time of the stage is to cross a threshold into a world apart, a place of speculation—a place to test the “real”. In Propositions for a Stage, this world is a place in which the limits of time and the body are investigated. Zach Blas’s series of videos and accompanying sculptures Face Cages (2014–16) show the body and its relationship to technology through a series of “endurance performances” in which the body is tested against its own biometric measurement
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
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
