AHC interview with Robert Foster.
No full textMay 5, 2015Robert Foster's mother Meta Garfunkel, née Jacobus was born 1897 in Berlin. Her father Albert was a textile merchant and owned apartment houses. At age 21, she left Berlin, marrying Emil Garfunkel, a investment banker in Vienna, with whom she had four daughters: Gerda, Irma, Susie and Eva. After losing most of his fortune in the stock market, Emil Garfunkel died of a heart attack. Meta entered a relationship with Alexander Schmitt: he owned a machinist business in Neusiedl am See in the Austrian province of Burgenland, was an avid soccer player, and raced motorcycles. They had two children: Robert Dieter Alexander Jacobus ("Foster" after coming to the US) and Heini Jacobus. In 1935, Meta Garfunkel travelled to Berlin to collect rent in her father's apartment houses, assuming that the Austrian name and passport would protect her from persecution. Nevertheless, she was arrested. After returning to Austria, Meta converted to Catholicism and had her two sons baptized in Gols, Burgenland.In 1938, Meta Garfunkel moved to Siebensterngasse 7 in Vienna with Robert and Heini. They would stay in the city throughout the war, escaping bombing raids and deportation, whilst Robert's father Alexander Schmitt fought for the German army on the Russian front, surviving the war and later a Russian prisoner of war camp. Until 1945, Meta and her children had to move several times. They shared an apartment in Lichtensteinstrasse 95 with the Rosenstrauch couple, later went to Waehringer Strasse 24, Konradgasse 2 and to Rotensterngasse. Their buildings were bombed twice, forcing the family to move. One time, in an air raid at Konradgasse on September 10th, 1944, Robert, his mother and his brother only narrowly escaped the collapsing building through an opening in the basement wall. During other raids, they hid in shelters, such as the catacombs underneath Stephansplatz. Fear of deportation was a constant in Robert's life at that time.Once Meta and her children escaped because Heini had a high fever, another time Robert and his brother were arrested at a Jewish cemetery and interrogated by the SS. Ultimately, an affidavit by their father, acknowledging the brothers as his sons saved the family. Only one of Robert Foster's half sisters - Gerda - managed to escape to England. Irma was murdered in Croatia, Susie and her husband were deported to the Sobibor extermination camp, and Eva perished close to Minsk. His maternal grandfather Albert Jacobus survived Theresienstadt and died in 1947. Robert Foster immigrated to the United States in 1949 with his mother and brother on a military troop ship. He attended high school right away, despite having received very little schooling in Vienna. Meta Garfunkel worked as a hatcheck girl, financially supporting the family. Robert Foster went on to Brooklyn College, was drafted into the army in 1954,and then continued his education at Columbia University, graduating in 1960. Robert Foster worked as a management consultant.Austrian Heritage Collectio
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
