Muslima Theology
No full textThis pioneering volume defines the contours of the emerging engagements of Muslim women scholars from around the world with the authoritative interpretive traditions of Islam, classical and contemporary. Muslima theology, encompassing a range of perspectives and arising from multiple social locations, now claims a place alongside womanist and mujerista readings that interrogate scripture and other forms of religious discourse to empower women of faith to speak for themselves in the interests of gender justice

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
Aisha ‘Abd al-Rahman (Bint al-Shati’) (d.1998) and her approach to tafsir : the journey of an Egyptian exegete from hermeneutics to humanity
Full text linkIn the last few decades, Bint al-Shati’s literary approach to the exegesis of the Qur’an has received some scholarly attention particularly directed at the exegetical procedures she developed under the tutelage of Amin al-Khuli for reading the Qur’an as a literary text. This paper aims to re-examine Bint al-Shati’s exegetical oeuvre with an interest in the hermeneutic vision that informed and shaped her method. A close reading of her main exegetical work Al-Tafsir al-Bayani li’l-Qur’an reveals that three hermeneutic questions are of primary significance to her tafsir: i) Authority to interpret the text, ii) the linguisticality of understanding, and iii) the applicability of the interpretation. This paper mainly focuses on the first question in light of her approach to traditional tafsir. It becomes evident that while Bint al-Shati’ relies on modern methods of thematic and philological analysis of Qur’anic meaning, traditional tafsir is never absent from her exegetical texts as it is in other modern interpretations of the Qur’an. The paper goes on to show that the textual presence of traditional tafsir serves textual as well as transtextual functions beyond refuting the validity of past constructions of Qur’anic meaning. Bint al-Shati’ is, in fact, deliberately placing herself ‘within’ in order to construct her exegetical authority as extending from a long and well-established tradition, to legitimate her modern reading as premised on knowledge of past readings, and to ultimately transcend them to allow a new reading to emerge. Bint al-Shati’s approach to traditional tafsir is further explored in the light of the tension between modernity and tradition which characterises her intellectualism, as well as in the context of her personal journey as a woman attempting to establish an authoritative exegetical voice in a male-dominated tradition. In the final section, the paper makes some observations on Bint al-Shati’s stance on the primacy of a linguistic approach for understanding the Qur’an, a stance which diverges from that of her teacher Amin al-Khuli who emphasized history above language in his Manahij al-Tajdid. The emphasis on linguisticality develops in Bint al-Shati’ into a theology of humanity in which women are equally entrusted with understanding the Qur’an. This contribution of her work reveals that her reading of the Qur’an has been motivated not only by an interest in its literary inimitability but also by a concern for social application
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
