Pyramid, sphere, ornament, and atrium: The images of these four puzzle pairs show four iconic architectural forms in different historical periods and functional settings and reveal the ambiguous relation between form and function as well as between form and signification. Like a reversible figure, these images oscillate between ambivalent functions and significations, a sacred place is echoed in a shop..
Utopian Pulse – Flares in the Darkroom
Full text linkMeike Schmidt-Gleim: Throughout the book Utopian Pulse – Flares in the Darkroom I found many different ways and concepts to describe the Utopian Pulse: “public happiness”, “an act within the given that imagines, foreshadows...a life incommensurable with THINGS AS THEY ARE”, “latency (Bloch)”, “negation (Adorno)”, “a specific situation lived in certain space temporalities...”, “utopia is necessarily imperfect assertion of which is not yet...”, “imagination/hope/desires”, “not an island...

Kinderspiel und Revolution
Full text linkDer Artikel diskutiert den Zusammenhang, den Benjamin zwischen Spiel und Mimesis herstellt. Es wird die These aufgestellt, dass er den Begriff der Mimesis durch den Bezug auf das Spiel grundlegend verwandelt und dem mimetischen Vermögen so innervatorische Kräfte zukommen lässt. Neu ist, dass Mimesis nicht mehr in erster Linie an die Vorstellung von ästhetischer Repräsentation gebunden ist, welche die genaue Wiedergabe des Originals anstrebt. Vielmehr entwickelt Benjamin einen Begriff von Mimesis, der in gleicher Weise rezeptiv wie kreativ ist.The article discusses the relationship Benjamin draws between play and mimesis. The hypothesis is that he transforms the concept of mimesis fundamentally by binding it back to play and by this he ascribes innervatorical forces to the mimetic faculty. The novelty lies in the fact, that mimesis is no longer primarily bound to a concept of aesthetic representation, which strives towards an exact replication of the original. Instead Benjamin develops a concept of mimesis that is at the same time receptive and creative.L’article discute de la relation entre jeu et mimétisme chez Benjamin. Selon notre hypothèse, Benjamin transforme fondamentalement, par la référence au jeu, le concept de mimétisme, attribuant à la faculté mimétique une force d’« innervation ». La mimésis n’est plus essentiellement liée à la représentation esthétique comme reproduction exacte de l’original, mais devient à la fois réceptive et créatrice.El presente artículo aborda la relación entre juego y mímesis en Walter Benjamin. Se trata aquí de introducir como hipótesis la transformación fundamental que opera Benjamin en el concepto de mímesis tanto en su referencia al juego como en la atribución de fuerzas de inervación a la facultad mimética. Resulta así novedoso que la mímesis abandone como referencia principal la representación estética que aspira a la reproducción exacta del original. Benjamin desarrolla más bien un concepto de mímesis que es a la vez receptivo y creativo.
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
