    Der Ständerat. Zweite Kammer der Schweiz

    No full text
    Die Politikwissenschaftler Sean Müller und Adrian Vatter legen die erste umfassende Darstellung des Ständerats vor. Sie zeigen das Stöckli im institutionellen Gefüge der Schweizer Politik, zwischen nationaler Gesetzgebung, Europapolitik und Regionalismus. Der Ständerat stand bislang weit weniger im Fokus politikwissenschaftlicher Forschung als der Nationalrat, obwohl er als die einflussreichere Kammer gilt. Die Autorinnen und Autoren der verschiedenen Beiträge analysieren das Abstimmungsverhalten der Ständeräte und vergleichen den Ständerat mit nationalen Gegenspielern und internationalen Besonderheiten von zweiten Kammern. Zudem untersuchen sie die Rolle der kleinen Kammer im Spannungsfeld zwischen nationaler Gesetzgebung, Europapolitik und regionalem Einfluss. Mit der Analyse des Ständerats beleuchten die Herausgeber erstmalig in dieser Breite die einzigartige Verknüpfung von zwei Kernprinzipien des schweizerischen Politiksystems: der repräsentativen Wahldemokratie und dem Föderalismus. Mit Beiträgen von Adrian Vatter, Andreas Ladner, Arthur Benz, Christine Benesch, Jean-René Fournier, Johanna Schnabel, Katharina Hofer, Monika Bütler, Rahel Freiburghaus, Sarah Bütikofer, Sean Müller und Sereina Dick

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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
