No full textIn der Reihe "HCA trifft …" ist am 11. Juli 2017 der Autor Patrick Roth zu Gast am Heidelberg Center for American Studies. In der von Prof. Michaela Kopp-Marx (Germanistisches Seminar) und Prof. Jan Stievermann (HCA) moderierten Veranstaltung liest Patrick Roth aus "Die amerikanische Fahrt" und "Die Christus Trilogie".
Patrick Roth wurde 1953 in Freiburg im Breisgau geboren und lebt als freier Autor in Los Angeles und Mannheim. Berühmt ist er als Erzähler biblisch-mythischer Stoffe, die er in einer filmisch-präsentischen Weise neu dramatisiert, so in den Texten der Christus Trilogie (1998/2017) und im Roman Sunrise. Das Buch Joseph (2012). Die deutsch-amerikanischen Erzählzyklen Meine Reise zu Chaplin (1997/2013) Die Nacht der Zeitlosen (2001), Starlite Terrace (2004) und Die amerikanische Fahrt (2013) vergegenwärtigen Einzelschicksale im Schatten der Hollywood-Filmindustrie und Roths ungebrochene Liebe zum Kino. Zuletzt erschien die mit einem umfangreichen Kommentar versehene Neuausgabe der Christus Trilogie (2017), die traditionelle biblische Bilder mittels der Durchmischung mit popkulturellen und mythischen Elementen in einer rhythmisierten, bildgewaltigen Sprache neu für die Gegenwart erschließt. Für sein literarisches Schaffen wurde Roth vielfach geehrt (u.a. mit dem Hugo-Ball-Preis, dem Literaturpreis der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung und dem Mainzer Stadtschreiberpreis); in den Jahren 2004 und 2012 hatte er die Poetikdozentur an der Universität Heidelberg inne.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
ELEVEN FACES OF JAN GOGOL, JR.
No full textAuthor Jan Rendl in his thesis attempts to look at the world of ideas and educator Jan
Gogola ml. through the eleven chapters in which each chapter somehow characterizes itself by Jan Gogola ml. and each of them somehow determines its creative ideas of it through the metaphor of a football match when Jan Gogola, with its characters, movies himself a teammate, as well as defensively. It gives goals with their situations as well as occasionally digging his opponents ankles.
Jan Gogola ml. thus embodies one stage of the Department of Documentary Film at FAMU, which often stands at the intersection between teaching activities and Karel Vachek among students who applied by them during their seminars psychological methods that work must be peculiarly associated with the author of the film
