“When the Strong Feel Weak: Perceived Threat to Power as Mediating the Association between Power Hierarchy and Competitive Victimhood in Secular-ultra-Orthodox Relations in Israel”.
No full textResearch Questions
Collective victimhood expresses a shared narrative of a group that is based on actual or perceived experiences of ingroup suffering. Within that narrative, the outgroup is presented as causing deliberate damage to the ingroup (Green et al., 2017). The effort to apply victimhood status to the ingroup, rather than the outgroup, is called “competitive victimhood” (Noor et al., 2008). A few studies have examined competitive victimhood simultaneously among both groups that are engaged in a conflict. Hitherto, the literature has tended to focus on the high-power group, where feelings of victimhood are not self-evident from an external perspective. However, handful studies that have examined both groups have found both to be engaged in competitive victimhood, albeit more intensively and “successfully” among the low-power group (Kahalon et al., 2019; Shnabel et al., 2013; Sullivan et al., 2012). These findings are explained in terms of intergroup power relations: the low-power group “wins” the competition for victimhood because it is objectively more deprived.
Nevertheless, the concept of power is more complicated than it appears. Rouhana and Fiske (1995) have broken it down into three components. The first is perceived power, in which the group is seen as able to reach its goals. The second component is facilitation or interference – the extent to which one of the groups harms or is able to harm the other. To evaluate that component, the researchers measured perceptions of threat to group power. Lastly, the third component is the strength of interdependence, i.e., which group relies on the other. This intricate definition of power constructs a different view of the balance of power in a conflict and complicates the relationships between power, victimhood perceptions, and competitive victimhood.
The proposed study will examine two components of power: perceived power, and threat to power, according to the definition presented by Rouhana and Fiske (1995) and their correlation with competitive victimhood. In particular, this study asks which group in the tense relationship between the secular and the ultra-Orthodox populations in Israel is more concerned with competitive victimhood. In this unique relationship, the high-power group, the secular population, has more perceived power but also feels more threat to its power; conversely, the low-power group, the ultra-Orthodox community, has less perceived power, but also feels a threat to its power. In other words, which of the two components of power presented is more significant in the correlation with competitive victimhood

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
