Obraz wroga w antyunijnym dyskursie na łamach czasopisma „Szczerbiec”
Full text linkThe Author analyzes the contents of the Szczerbiec periodical. It is an extremist right-wing, or even neo-Fascist, periodical rightfully present on the Polish editorial market next to other press titles. Its circulation is not high which may signify that the number of its readers tends to be limited and the bond between the sender and recipient is marginal. Although the periodical aims at a determined and devoted group of readers, it is available from common sales outlets. Therefore it is not an incriminated periodical that would provide its readers with the impression of tasting a forbidden fruit.The Author analyzes the contents of the Szczerbiec periodical.

The Holocaust and the Landscape after the Holocaust in Comic Strips
Full text linkSince the publication of two comic books entitled Maus by Art Spiegelman, the comics about the Holocaust became a separate category of graphic stories referring to history. The appearance of albums by Spiegelman may also be treated as a certain caesura on the Polish market of comics. Until that time, no Polish author of comic strips had even tried to come to grips with the topic of the Holocaust; even today they would rather avoid this topic. Taking no account of the reasons behind such abandonment, it is worth noting that Polish authors clearly gave ground to the creators from the West who, with mixed success, filled in this significant gap and their comics were later translated into Polish. The main purpose of the article is to show a panorama of comic books by Polish and Western authors, which have been published in Poland until now and, in various ways, touch upon the question of the Holocaust, thus becoming a part of a postcatastrophic discourse. The aim of the undertaken considerations is not solely the creation of the inventory but also a fragmentary but critical analysis of the contents of the mentioned comic strips
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
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
Fantazmat Julii Brystiger
Full text linkThe ‘Kike Communism’ cliché holds a special position in Polish antisemitic discourse, where it has different functions. Having been replicated over time, it has been reinforced and become a social platitude, a matrix of popular thinking about history, a descriptive category applied by journalist and academic discourses and a keyword in discussions on Polish-Jewish relations. “Kike Communism” is a cultural topos and a condensation of meanings and interpretations that have been adopted and familiarized so well that it is difficult to see, let alone undermine its roots. Apart from the narration about the harm suffered by Polish patriots at the hands of Jewish Communist torturers the names of those torturers hold an important place in the structure of this topos. It is actually difficult to imagine its content without the symbolic figures such as Jakub Berman, Anatol Fejgin, Roman Romkowski, Stefan Michnik, Helena Wolińska-Brus, Julia Brystiger and Józef Różański. For years they have played the iconic roles assigned to them in the Polish antisemitic discourse. Julia Brystiger, or rather her mythologized image, deserves particular attention in this group. Nicknamed ‘Bloody Luna’ she surely is among the most demonized female Communists in Poland. The objective of the considerations in this paper is to try to demonstrate the construction of the phantasm surrounding her on the basis of a thorough analysis of different texts in Polish culture, ranging from literature to film.Klisza „żydokomuny” zajmuje szczególne miejsce w polskim dyskursie antysemickim i pełni w nim różne funkcje. W efekcie rozłożonych w czasie praktyk jej nieustannego odtwarzania, a tym samym ugruntowywania, stała się pewną społeczną oczywistością. Osnową potocznego myślenia o przeszłości, kategorią opisową w dyskursie publicystycznym i naukowym, słowem kluczem w dyskusjach o tzw. stosunkach polsko-żydowskich. Będąc jednym z toposów kultury „żydokomuna” kondensuje w sobie znaczenia i interpretacje, które aktualnie są już tak dobrze przyswojone i zadomowione, że doprawdy trudno jest dostrzec, a już tym bardziej naruszyć jej fundamenty. Poza narracją o krzywdach wyrządzonych polskim patriotom przez żydowskich komunistycznych oprawców, to właśnie ich imiona i nazwiska zajmują ważne miejsce w strukturze tego toposu. Trudno zresztą nawet wyobrazić sobie jego treść bez tych wszystkich emblematycznych dla niego postaci: Jakub Berman, Anatol Fejgin, Roman Romkowski, Stefan Michnik, Helena Wolińska-Brus, Julia Brystiger, Józef Różański. To właśnie oni od lat pełnią przypisane im role ikon w polskim dyskursie antysemickim. Spośród tego grona na szczególną uwagę zasługuje Julia Brystiger, a raczej nie tyle ona sama, co jej poddany mitologizacji wizerunek. Znana jako „krwawa Luna” jest bez wątpienia jedną z najbardziej zdemonizowanych komunistek w Polsce. Celem rozważań podjętych w artykule jest próba ukazania konstrukcji spowijającego ją fantazmatu na podstawie uważnej analizy różnych tekstów polskiej kultury: od literatury do filmu
