What is “Culture”? : Kultursociologi og kulturanalyse. Pernille Tanggaard Andersen & Michael Hviid Jacobsen (eds.). Hans Reitzels Forlag, Copenhagen 2017. 604 pp. ISBN 978-87-41260570.
No full textThis volume has the aim of presenting cultural sociology and cultural analysis in a Danish context, and most of the empirical examples are from contemporary Denmark. From a broad theoretical and empirical perspective the book takes the question “What is ‘culture’?” seriously. Even though, as we know, culture is in itself a difficult word to use, and there are many explanations of what it is and therefore no consensus, the two sociologists Pernille Tanggaard Andersen and Michael Hviid Jacobsen present in the introduction a short background to how the word is dealt with in the volume. Briefly, culture is seen as something transformative and something that we have “a certain freedom to choose or refuse” (p. 31). It is also a term that is operated in three different ways: (1) the descriptive culture term, (2) the complex culture term and (3) culture as praxis. There are definitions that go from seeing culture as something that can be demarcated, to seeing culture as something that people do and studying the different elements of action

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
Sociological Perspectives on Neighbourhood Context and Health
No full textThe purpose of this chapter is to illustrate the ways in which sociological theory is able to contribute to the creation of a broader knowledge and understanding of the complexity of people's everyday lives within local communities. The chapter examines how sociological perspectives might be included in research concerned with local communities/residential areas, health and well-being. The strengths of this particular perspective are demonstrated by focusing on various sociological theories on local communities, inclusion/exclusion, everyday life and health behaviour. The chapter draws conclusions by means of a specific sociological analysis of the marginalised residential area of Bakkedal in Denmark.</p
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
