Foreigners, Deportees and Slaves as Agents of Change and Cultural Transfer. Some Reflections on the Neo-Assyrian Period
No full textSlavery has often been connected with foreign provenance, as a result of wars or through trade. Slaves were often forcefully displaced people who, like deportees, had various relations with the communities they lived in and differing possibilities of expressing and transmitting their own culture. The focus of this paper is to look for traces of these dynamics in everyday life, i.e. to identify patterns of social relations and administrative organization which determined how deportees and slaves acted and were managed in the scenario of the Neo-Assyrian empire

No full textThe Cimmerian Bosporus as a boundary between Europe and Asia according to Aeschylus. An invented tradition?
No full textThis study may be considered as a sequel of my paper about the Thracian Bosporus (Kaskal 2022), where I argued that the evidence of the real weight and role of the Bosporus, with regard to the relationships between Greeks and non-Greek people, points to the conclusion that the channel was originally perceived as a passage from one country to another, not as an actual boundary. The same conclusion does fit to the Cimmerian Bosporus, on the basis of a three steps exposition; a careful analysis of Aeschylus’ tragedies concerning the boundary between Europe and Asia (Prometheus Bound and Suppliants, where the poet mentions Io; a fragment of Prometheus Unbound and Persians); some considerations about the traditions, in Herodotus, Strabo and other writers, concerning the rivers Phasis and Tanaïs as boundaries, because our sources connect the final course of the Tanaïs and the Cimmerian Bosporus; an overview of the Greek colonization in that area and of the Persian initiatives against the Scythians in the 6th century

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
