    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

    Sport Without Guarantees: Critical Pedagogy Against Empire

    No full text
    "This project is part manifesto, part personal narrative, and part sociocultural criticism about the need to enact a performative cultural study of sport. Written in the progressive-minded tradition of Norman K. Denzin, Henry Giroux, Lawrence Grossberg, and Peter McLaren, the author poignantly---at times devastatingly---captures the shifting terrain of social and political contestation and negotiation at play in the modern world. Excavating the interrelated economic, geopolitical, and cultural aspects of globalization, I argue that trans/national (cultural) sporting agents, intermediaries, and institutions actively work as pedagogical sites to hegemonically re-inscribe and re-present neo-liberal discourses on sport, culture, nation, and democracy throughout the ascendant global capitalist order. Case studies ranging from the stylish hybridity of British Asian characters in the 2002 box-office hit Bend it Like Beckham and the eminent malleability of professional tennis player Martina Hingis's mediated subjectivity across trans/national boundaries to the corporate commodification of youth culture by Disney as represented in its sport-themed films and Olympic sporting activisms are deployed as empirical vehicles for advancing such an argument. At the same time, I address theoretical interventions into sport-oriented research, discussing various theories drawn from critical pedagogy, (British) cultural studies, and sport studies that move in the direction of a performative social science. Overall, Sport Without Guarantees is underwritten by an understanding that ""the cultural is always performative and pedagogical, and hence always political, and too frequently racist and sexist"" (Denzin, 2003, p. 230)."Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-28T15:04:21Z (GMT).

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    We 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
