Indicators of Typology Within the Old Testament : the Exodus Motif
Full text linkThe Topic
This dissertation seeks to ascertain whether there are indicators of Exodus typology within the Old Testament.
The Purpose
Based on R. M. Davidson’s definition of biblical typology, various elements that comprise biblical typology such as the historical aspect, divine design, prophetic aspect, Steigerung (intensification), and eschatology are traced in a number of texts that deal with the Exodus motif. This examination seems to be crucial for establishing the exegetical and hermeneutical basis for the use of Exodus typology by the New Testament writers. Chapter 1 surveys the perception and use of typology throughout the centuries up to the present. The traditional approach considers persons, events or actions, and institutions as being divinely ordained or designed types to foreshadow aspects of Christ and his ministry. After the historical-critical repudiation new interest into typology arose. While most scholars tend to favor either the “Pattern of God’s Acts” approach or the “Historical Hermeneutics” approach, R. M. Davidson points out the need for a controlled hermeneutics, thus calling for indicators of typology already within the Old Testament. Chapter 2 seeks to establish the basic elements that are part of a biblical typology suggested by Davidson’s definition. Various passages that are directly linked to or describe the Exodus in the Pentateuch are discussed. Particular emphasis is given to the eschatological context. Chapter 3 seeks to trace the elements of biblical typology throughout the prophetic writings that deal with the Exodus motif. While the passages of the Pentateuch stand in direct connection to the historical event of the Exodus, the prophetic writings function as hinges that connect the past redemption with the future redemption.
Conclusions
This dissertation concludes that there is in relation to the Exodus a type/anti-type relation that connects the Old Testament with the New Testament. This type/anti-type relation is based on a historical structure. It includes a divine design and the element of Steigerung. The announcement of the anti-type is always a prophecy and thereby hermeneutically controlled. The anti-type has no multiple fulfillments-but only one. The anti-type finds its fulfillment only in the eschaton, i.e., in Christ or in the realities of the new covenant related to and brought about by Christ

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
