No full textOb Opfer von Genoziden, Attentaten, häuslicher Gewalt, Unfällen oder Naturkatastrophen: Listen sind nie »unschuldig«, sondern verfolgen immer bestimmte Absichten. Register suggerieren Kontrolle, sind aber auch Machtinstrumente. Listen von Verstorbenen dokumentieren gesellschaftliches Handeln und erzählen eine eigene Geschichte des Todes. Die Beiträger*innen untersuchen von der Frühen Neuzeit bis zur Gegenwart Zählungen von Gefallenen oder Verstorbenen in kolonialen Kontexten, Unfallstatistiken, Todeslisten in der NS-Zeit, Suizide in der DDR sowie Todesfälle von Geflüchteten. Ihre Analysen fokussieren dabei die Hintergründe und Motivationen der Urheber*innen und liefern damit einen erhellenden Einblick in die Macht der Statistik
An iconography of early nineteenth-century dictatorship in the Atlantic space
No full textAround 1800 the concepts of ‘dictator’ and ‘dictatorship’, like many others, changed drastically in meaning and connotation. From an extraordinary, exceptional and provisional magistracy appointed in times of severe crises, as transmitted from the ancient Roman tradition, the dictator, now, came to stay and to provide a new constitutional order. Hence, the sovereign dictator, in terms of Carl Schmitt, as opposed to the commissarial one, became the dominant paradigm. The present essay claims that such a fatidic transition could not be ignored by iconography. Hence, it seeks to enlighten the conceptual change by means of a focus on the pictorial representation of dictatorship by means of different canvases. In a first step, the persistence of a Rome-inspired iconography will be highlighted with a focus on particular symbols and allegories. Then, a further step across the Atlantic and into the iconography of everydayness in the River Plate will show the pervasiveness and powerfulness of the personal cult of Juan Manuel de Rosas, Argentine dictator and governor of Buenos Aires with the sum of public power
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
