He earned his B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. at Harvard University and taught at Harvard and Michigan State University before becoming professor of history and folklore at Indiana University where he founded its Folklore Institute in 1963 and became the first director and first chair of the Folklore Department at Indiana University in 1978.

Indignação, decadência e conspiração: a retórica reacionária segundo Richard Shorten
Get PDFThis review seeks to analyze some of the central arguments of Richard Shorten's recently published The ideology of political reactionaries (2022). Continuing his work of mapping and redimensioning the modern ideological panorama, which began with Modernism and Totalitarianism (2012) and Reactionary rhetoric reconsidered (2015), Shorten establishes an anatomy of the argumentative structures mobilized by reactionary agents over the last two centuries. Based on the classic Aristotelian lessons on rhetoric, the author proposes that the pillars of indignation, decadence and conspiracy are mobilized by reactionaries in order to trigger, respectively, the dimensions of pathos, logos and ethos in an audience. The result of a careful analysis of reactionary texts, ranging from the writings of Joseph De Maistre and Edmund Burke, through Adolf Hitler and Joe McCarthy, to Éric Zemmour and Donald Trump, Shorten identifies some discursive models that recur in this ideological tradition. Recovering both the concept of reaction and the methodology of rhetorical analysis, the author establishes renewed bases for reflection and analysis on the modern political right and its contemporary manifestations.A presente resenha busca analisar alguns dos argumentos centrais da obra recém publicada de Richard Shorten: The ideology of political reactionaries (2022). Dando prosseguimento em seu trabalho de mapeamento e redimensionamento do panorama ideológico moderno, iniciado com Modernism and Totalitarianism (2012) e Reactionary rhetoric reconsidered (2015), Shorten estabelece uma anatomia das estruturas argumentativas mobilizadas por agentes reacionários nos últimos dois séculos. A partir das clássicas lições aristotélicas sobre retórica, o autor propõe que os pilares da indignação, decadência e conspiração são mobilizados pelo reacionarismo com o intuito de acionar, respectivamente, as dimensões do pathos, logos e ethos de uma audiência. Fruto de uma análise cuidadosa de textos reacionários, que abrangem desde os escritos de Joseph De Maistre e Edmund Burke, passando por Adolf Hitler e Joe McCarthy, até Éric Zemmour e Donald Trump, Shorten identifica alguns modelos discursivos reincidentes nesta tradição ideológica. Recuperando tanto o conceito de reação quanto a metodologia da análise retórica, o autor estabelece bases renovadas para a reflexão e análise sobre as direitas políticas modernas e suas manifestações contemporâneas.

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
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
Optimal Real-Time Distributed V2G and G2V Management of Electric Vehicles
No full textThis paper exploits the analogy between the electrical grid and modern communication networks to implement Electric
Vehicle (EV) battery charging scheduling algorithms inspired by popular communication network techniques. In preliminary
works, a similar approach was used to manage the Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) active power flows. In this paper, we extend this
framework to both implement the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) concept and to provide reactive power compensation capabilities
that do not affect charging times. The ability of the proposed algorithms to optimally share the available/desired power in a
fair way, with minimum communication requirements, in a very uncertain, dynamically changing framework, is illustrated
through several examples for different scenarios of interest

Draft
No full textIn this original and engaging piece, Professor Richard Hyland reflects on the nature of drafts--both in his own writing and in the proposed revisions to Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code. His explorations of the drafting process suggest that revision is not always synonymous with improvement.
Professor Hyland focuses on a classic "battle of the forms" scenario. He examines the way the drafters have addressed the problem and concludes that their proposed solution is misguided. After presenting solutions from international commercial law and other national codifications, Professor Hyland recommends that section 2-207 be deleted. The determination of the terms in battle-of-the-forms cases should be left to the courts. Professor Hyland closes by relating his discussion to the Legal Realist insight that judges, not rules, decide cases
