O espelho criativo: Friedrich Meinecke e a reinterpretação do naturalismo de J.W. Goethe na gênese do historicismo alemão: The creative mirror: Friedrich Meinecke and the reinterpretation of J.W. Goethe\u27s naturalism in the genesis of German historicism
Get PDFIn this article, I intend to understand Friedrich Meinecke\u27s (1862-1954) position in the so-called crisis of historicism that took place in part of German historical tradition during the interwar period. In order to do so, I seek to reconstruct some of those intellectual quarrels by taking into account the relevance that the problems of historicism started to acquire in Meinecke\u27s work during the 1920s and the 1930s. Then, with an analysis of Meinecke\u27s own definition of the concept, I claim that the author of Die Entstehung des Historismus (The Emergence of Historicism) (1936) used J.W. Goethe\u27s philosophy of nature not only to define what he believed to be the climax of German historicism, but also to overcome what he conceived as the limits of the modern tradition of historical thought, as well as the boundaries of Western Enlightenment\u27s own conception of history. Finally, I argue that such a reinterpretation of Goethean naturalism – with its emphasis on the aesthetic ideal of the creative mirror – represented Meinecke\u27s own solution to the dilemmas of historicism and his own theoretical answer to the crisis discussed by part of German historical thought during the Weimar era and during the first years of the National Socialist dictatorship.
Keywords: Friedrich Meinecke. J.W. Goethe. Historicism.En este artículo pretendo comprender la posición ocupada por el historiador Friedrich Meinecke (1862-1954) en los debates sobre la crisis de la historia y sobre los significados del historicismo que tuvieron lugar en parte de la historiografía alemana del período entreguerras. Con este fin, trato de reconstruir algunas de estas disputas, teniendo en cuenta la relevancia que la cuestión del historicismo adquiririó en el trabajo de este intelectual alemán durante las décadas de 1920 y 1930. A partir de un análisis de la definición meineckeana del concepto de historicismo, defendo que el autor de El historicismo y su génesis (1936) utilizó la filosofía de la naturaleza de J.W. Goethe para definir lo que él creía que ser el clímax del historicismo alemán, así como para superar los límites de la tradición moderna del pensamiento histórico y la concepción histórica de la Ilustración occidental. Finalmente, sostengo que esta reinterpretación del naturalismo de Goethe – expresada sobretodo por el ideal estético del espejo creativo – representó la solución ofrecida por Meinecke a los dilemas del historicismo y a la crisis experimentada por la concepción de historia en Alemania durante el período de Weimar y durante los primeros años de la dictadura nacionalsocialista.

Para tanto, busco reconstruir algumas dessas contendas, levando em consideração a relevância que a questão do historicismo passou a adquirir no trabalho desse intelectual durante os anos 1920 e 1930. Em seguida, a partir de uma análise da própria definição meineckeana do conceito, busco sustentar que o autor de O surgimento do historicismo (1936) se utilizou da filosofia da natureza de J.W. Goethe tanto para definir o acreditava ser o clímax do historicismo alemão, quanto para superar aqueles que ele entendia como os limites da tradição moderna de pensamento histórico e da própria concepção histórica do Iluminismo ocidental. Por fim, defendo que essa reinterpretação do naturalismo goetheano – tal qual expresso pelo ideal estético de espelho criativo – representou a própria solução oferecida por Meinecke para os dilemas do historicismo e para a crise vivida pela concepção de história na Alemanha na época de Weimar e durante os primeiros anos de ditadura nacional-socialista.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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
The concept of Individuality in Friedrich Meinecke’s Early Work
Get PDFThis article investigates the centrality of the concept of individuality in the young Friedrich Meinecke’s theory of history, positing it as a fundamental element shaping Meinecke’s historical conception. To elucidate this position, an analysis is conducted to discern the significance attributed to the principium individuationis at two critical junctures in Meinecke’s early intellectual development: firstly, in his response to the positivist assault on the German historical school, and secondly, in his endeavor to reconceptualize the underpinnings of a revitalized history of ideas between the late 1800s and the initial decade of the twentieth century. By expounding upon these aspects and contextualizing the intellectual evolution in which these ideas emerged, it is argued that the concept of individuality functioned as a theoretical refuge against what Meinecke perceived as the doctrinaire nature of worldviews incompatible with notions of freedom and spontaneity — principles he considered intrinsic to the historical mode of thought

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
