Media, migration and the music aesthetic : Julius Burger's radio potpourri (1933-1945).
No full textIn 1933, the Nazi Regime seized the reins of power in Germany. Their subsequent invocation of anti-Semitic legislation caused a rupture in the lives and careers of countless artists, actors, authors, composers, musicians, and performers. Many from this ‘Lost Generation’ emigrated to the safety of neighbouring countries (i.e. Belgium, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, etc.) while others travelled further abroad to nations such as Canada, the United States and Australia. Within Great Britain, talented émigré figures such as Walter Goehr (1903-1960), Leo Wurmser (1905-?), Berthold Goldschmidt (1903-1996), and Mátyás Seiber (1905-1960) found employment in the British Broadcasting Corporation and made valuable contributions to shaping British radio programming. However, one émigré’s lasting and influential contributions to this central British institution have been overlooked in musicological and media studies research to date. This thesis records the research undertaken on the pioneering radio genre, the ‘Radio Potpourri’, by Viennese émigré composer Julius Burger (1897-1995) and their influence on the BBC’s Variety department between 1933 – 1945. The research involved utilises recently rediscovered autograph manuscripts of these radio compositions in tracing their origins. These developed from earlier classical music forms, such as the opera pasticcio and its employ as an accompaniment technique in early silent cinemas and were then remediated specifically for radio at the Funkstunde AG Berlin. In 1934, the Radio Potpourri was then transferred to the BBC Variety department where it became an influential mainstay in British light music programming into the 1950s. Evidence suggests Burger’s nomadic existence as an exile during this period directly affected his compositional style. This project has examined the Radio Potpourri through the lenses of nationalism/imperialism, migration, and anti-Semitism to trace their potential effects on his compositional aesthetic between 1934 and 1945. Through musicological and textual analysis of archival documentation and autograph manuscripts, I propose new insights into the process of remediation for the medium of radio while highlighting the influential implementation of the Radio Potpourri genre in British radio programming in the early 20th century. Equally, this investigation into the wider effects of exile and migration on Julius Burger’s musical compositions contributes to established musicology research on the connections between music and exile
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
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
