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

Travelling the Genderqueer Slipstream
Full text link“Travelling the Genderqueer Slipstream” uses contemporary theories of time arising from Western generic studies to offer a new reading of Frederick Jackson Turner’s “Frontier Thesis”, arguing that the representation of time throughout that piece is unstable. This part of the work coheres in the concept of “frontier iconicity”: that Turner created a representation of the Western in time that is so far removed from linear representations of time that it constitutes an aesthetic point of entry into slipstream time-travel. This line of thinking, which follows Foucault and Baudrillard, is primarily explored through the work of Michael K. Johnson, Mark Rifkin, Grace L. Dillon and Peter Boag.
The second part of the paper explores the potential of considering Native Slipstream as a reading strategy for all texts that invoke frontier iconicity, demonstrated by a recuperative approach to transmasculine, gender nonconforming and genderqueer presence in the literary Western. The argument culminates with the suggestion that considering the frontier icon as fundamentally temporally unstable, has set the conditions for one of the most generative discussions of queer futurity that has been possible to date. Authors and theatre makers explored in this discussion include Willa Cather, Zane Grey, Louise Erdrich and Charlie Josephine, among others
Crow, Joanna. The Mapuche in Modern Chile: A Cultural History
Full text linkThe relationship between Mapuche indigenous people and the Chilean state has been the focus of an increasing number of books within Chile and abroad, all of which probe how the Mapuche have responded to past and present government policies. These publications are written by Mapuche and non-Mapuche academics, trained in the disciplines of anthropology, history, literature and sociology and, unlike previous historiography, they focus on Mapuche actors’ political negotiations with the state. The Mapuche in Modern Chile: A Cultural History by Joanna Crow dialogues with these publications and adds a new dimension to them by focusing on identity debates and cultural politics
