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
Andalusia’s Cultural Spirit and the Historical Ballads of \u3ci\u3eRomancero gitano\u3c/i\u3e
Get PDFThough praised by its author for its unity, Lorca’s Romancero gitano seemingly ends in disarray (Obras 3: 339).1 The final three ballads appear arbitrarily grouped under the rubric, Romances históricos. First, Martirio de Santa Olalla embellishes the martyrdom of fourth-century Saint Eulalia in Roman-ruled Mérida; next, Burla de Don Pedro a caballo parodies the cycle of fourteenth-century Pedro the Cruel; finally, Thamar y Amnón lyrically revisits the incest of 2 Samuel 13: 1. What unites the three, other than remote temporal settings, and what makes them historical ballads? C. Marcilly unconvincingly interprets the Don Pedro ballad as an allegory of Saint Peter’s three renunciations of Christ, appropriately placed between two additional religious ballads of Romancero gitano. Yet the religiousness of these two ballads is questionable. Also, the poem on Don Pedro, dated December 1921, preceded by three years the conception of Romancero gitano (Martín 344; García-Posada 9). The present study shows that Lorca grounds his understanding of historical balladry on the notion of Volksgeist or “cultural spirit,” filtered through mid- nineteenth-century philologist Agustín Durán; and that Lorca’s musical mentor and friend Manuel de Falla helps him focus Volksgeist theory on Andalusia, specifically, its gypsy component. The ballad on Don Pedro, Martín argues, contains a self-critique of Lorca as a poet (352).2 His later insertion of this poem into Romancero gitano, I will point out, implies his self-reevaluation as a “son of Andalusia,” according to C. Brian Morris.3 Lorca self-consciously embodies its Volksgeist, which he finds rooted in a feeling of insufficiency in the cosmos. All three of these historical ballads form a triptych, inspiring atavistic sentiments on the mystery of Andalusian aesthetic tradition, which defies that sense of helplessness
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Vicisitudes de la psique helénica: Erwin Rohde en Unamuno
Get PDFUnamuno esteemed the book Psyche by Erwin Rohde as the «leading work» on the faith of the Greeks in the immortality of the soul. The work deeply influenced Unamuno ?s writings. Here we study its presence in The Tragic Sense of Life (1911-1912), Orfeo’s «Funeral Oration» in Mist (1914), and the drama The Other (1926). We focus on the Greek cult of souls and on the psyche as the Other in Rohde and Unamuno.Unamuno estimaba el libro Psyche de Erwin Rohde como la «obra capital» sobre la fe de los griegos en la inmortalidad del alma. La obra influía profundamente en la producción entera de D. Miguel. Aquí estudiamos su presencia en Del sentimiento trágico de la vida (1911-1912), en la «Oración fúnebre» de Orfeo al final de Niebla (1914) y en el drama El Otro (1926). Enfocamos el culto griego a las almas y la psique concebida como el Otro en Rohde y en Unamuno
Dinámica de la otra vida en la filosofía de Unamuno
Get PDFUnamuno conceives the other life in its optimal form as a dynamism in Zubiri’s sense. He has read in the Book of Job the view of life and death as a military conscription or as a contract for hard labor. Unamuno’s short story «Juan Manso. Story of the Dead» (1892) rejects meekness and favors an existential «charging» before and after death. Unamuno’s crisis of 1897 to 1902 makes him fear the nothingness and seek relief in a passing conversion to Liberal Protestantism. But when his insecurity returns, he converts his uncertainty of salvation into a point of departure for his tragic philosophy of religion. In four successive phases, he deepens his dynamic conception of eternal life: in Life of Our Lord Don Quixote, Treatise on Love of God, The Tragic Sense of Life, and The Agony of Christianity.Unamuno concibe la otra vida en su óptima forma como un dinamismo en el sentido zubiriano. Ha leído en el Libro de Job la visión de vida y muerte como una conscripción militar o como una contratación laboral. El relato unamuniano «Juan Manso. Cuento de muertos» (1892) rechaza la mansedumbre, favoreciendo una «embestida» existencial antes y después de morir. La crisis de 1897 a 1902 hace a Unamuno temer la nada y buscar alivio en una pasajera conversión al protestantismo liberal. Pero cuando la inseguridad regresa, convierte su incertidumbre de la salvación en punto de partida para su filosofía trágica de la religión. En cuatro sucesivas fases, profundiza cada vez más en su concepción dinámica de la vida eterna: en Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho, en el Tratado del amor de Dios; en Del sentimiento trágico, y en La agonía del cristianismo
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
