A busca pelo Graal nos escritos de Otto Rahn: do entusiasmo pseudo-historiográfico à ideologia nazista
No full textO Graal e suas propriedades mágicas e a ideologia da raça: é no encontro desses dois espaços que está a obra de Otto Rahn. Para uns, dentro de um universo de idealizações, o Indiana Jones alemão, para outros, no campo da deslegitimação, o nazista lunático. Em realidade, um indivíduo de seu tempo. Esse artigo busca compreender as construções narrativas em torno do Graal e a ideologia nazista nas duas obras de Otto Rahn, a saber, Kreuzzug gegen den Gral: Die Geschichte der Albigenser (1933) (Cruzada contra o Graal. Grandeza e queda dos Albingenses) e Luzifers Hofgesind: eine Reise zu den guten Geistern Europas (1937) (A corte de Lúcifer: Viagem ao coração da mais alta espiritualidade europeia), tendo como ponto de contato a circulação de imagens acerca do Graal (via Parzival, de Wolfram von Eschenbach e Parsifal, de Richard Wagner) durante a década de 1930 na Alemanha. Analisar-se-á, portanto, a instrumentalização do Graal nas obras de Rahn

Otto Rahn and the search for Holy Grail
No full textThe article presents the person of Otto Rahn, an explorer and adherent of the myth of the Holy Grail, and also a collaborator of the SS under the aegis of Heinrich Himmler. Rahn’s case illustrates how the culture-creating tendency characteristic of Nazism was able to acquire quasi-religious forms given conducive conditions. The circumstances in which the
protagonist established his contacts with Nazi functionaries are described first; then the development of the Grail motive and its reception in a certain milieu of German nationalism are sketched; further I analyze the content of the book "Luzifers Hofgesind. Eine Reise zu Europas guten Geistern" (1937, Leipzig) signed by Rahn, in relation to the synthesis of gnosticism
and racism that are discernable there; finally, potentially conflictogenic differences between Nazism and gnosticism are suggested, possibly working against serious attempts at their fusion
La queste du Graal comme un pèlerinage : du Moyen Âge à Otto Rahn
No full textVu sous son aspect de reliquaire, le Saint Graal entre dans un triple contexte : 1) le culte des reliques des saints et du Christ (les inventiones, les confiscations de reliques par les croisés etc.) ; 2) la montée de la dévotion eucharistique ; 3) les croisades. Dans cette perspective, la quête du Graal devient un pèlerinage armé, une "croisade" vers une relique précieuse. L'esprit des croisades se voit clairement, mais avec une intensité assez variable, dans une bonne partie des romans arthuriens. C'est cet esprit général qu'il faut y chercher, au lieu de suivre Helen Adolf en se livrant à une lecture qui prétend découvrir dans la littérature arthurienne des reflets des événements précis. -- L'autre problème analysé ici est le cas de l'ésotériste nazi Otto Rahn qui, s'inspirant des cercles catharisants ariégeois, s'adonnait à la recherche du Graal cathare. Rahn concevait le Graal non seulement comme un objet réel, mais aussi comme la connaissance de la prétendue unité raciale et culturelle du Midi "wisigothique" avec l'Allemagne (cf. l'axe cathares-Kyot-Wolfram). Les descendants spirituels de Rahn, le présumé martyr cathare antinazi, continuent à fréquenter Montségur et Ussat-Ornolac. Ils cherchent le Graal (physique ou spirituel), les traces des cathares, l'én ergie du lieu etc. Certains d'entre eux peuvent être qualifiés de pèlerins.Vu sous son aspect de reliquaire, le Saint Graal entre dans un triple contexte : 1) le culte des reliques des saints et du Christ (les inventiones, les confiscations de reliques par les croisés etc.) ; 2) la montée de la dévotion eucharistique ; 3) les croisades.

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
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
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
