    No full text
    The economic and political crisis Serbia had to face during the nineties affected the competitive advantages its agricultural sector had in comparison with the other countries of the region. Despite a number of differences related to the specific economic, political and social settings and developments, the reform path Serbia started in 2000 showed a number of similarities, but also some differences in comparison with most of the Central and Eastern European Countries. In this paper the main features of structural changes in the Serbian agricultural sector are analyzed, also in comparison with other countries in the region, the basic factors that contributed to these changes are identified and explained, and the key consequences and implications of this process are examined

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    Get PDF
    We 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

    ИЗРАЗУВАЊЕ НА ПОВЕЌЕЈАЗИЧНОТО СЕБСТВО ВО ДИКТАТ НА ТЕРЕЗА ХАК КУНГ ЧА

    This study focuses on specific linguistic markers in the chief prose work of American poet and artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Dictée, that display commitment in utterance. Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictée is an autobiographical work which explores the protagonist\u27s identity in relation to the author\u27s personal family history as well as historical events as well as numerous references to female mythological figures. In it, layers of the self are further articulated through a specific relationship to the audience, and through a fragmentary form that resists genre classification. By focusing on the linguistic concept of commitment in speech act, the present study explores how in Dictée Cha develops the multilingual subject through voicing. By focusing on the pronoun use, the role of gerund in altering the syntax and the passage between French and English languages, this study exposes the link between the crafting of the speech act and of the multilingual self. We conclude that textual fragmentation in Dictée should not be read as disintegration or inability to attain utterance or a questioning of the woman\u27s multilingual identity. Not only is fragmentary expression necessary for capturing the various elements of the multilingual self, but it also helps underscore the link between writing and speech as the site of the multilingual subject.Оваа студија се фокусира на специфичните лингвистички обележја коишто означуваат обврзување на вистинитост во исказот во делото Диктат, најпознатото прозно остварување на американската поетеса и уметница Тереза Хак Кунг Ча. Диктат на Тереза Хак Кунг Ча е автобиографско дело, во кое се истражува идентитетот на протагонистката низ врската со личната семејна историја на авторката, како и со историските настани и со многубројните упатувања на женски митолошки фигури. Во делото, слоевите на себството се дополнително искажани преку специфичниот однос кон публиката и преку фрагментираната форма, којашто тешко може жанровски да се определи. Фокусирајќи се на лингвистичкиот концепт обврзување на вистинитост во говорниот чин, студијата истражува како Ча го развива повеќејазичниот субјект преку искажувањето. Фокусирајќи се на употребата на заменките, на улогата на глаголската именка во менувањето на синтаксата и на преминот од француски на англиски јазик и обратно, студијата ја открива врската помеѓу вообличувањето на говорниот чин и повеќејазичното себство. Може да се заклучи дека текстуалната фрагментација во Диктат не треба да се чита како дезинтеграција или неспособност да се вообличи искажувањето, или како сомнеж во однос на женскиот повеќејазичен идентитет. Фрагментираниот израз не само што е неопходен за опфаќање на различните елементи на повеќејазичното себство туку и помага да се нагласи врската помеѓу напишаното и говорниот чин, како седиште на повеќејазичниот субјект
