White on Black:Snow in the City, Skiing in Copenhagen
No full textSnowfall transforms the city in sensory and practical terms. Sometimes it is even possible to ski in the city. Such an event may promote an intense and altered experience of space, body and the self. All of a sudden, the urban walker is transformed into a skier, as well as the dark cityscape of horizontal surfaces and rectangular forms take on a white appearance and a whole new geometry. Moreover, an altered acoustic but also new forms of social reciprocity come about and soon affect the skier's perception of places and people. In addition to six digital photographs of nightly urban snowscapes by the author, and to a series of personal notes on a skiing experiment in central Copenhagen, this essay addresses the issue of urban snowscape by way of Walter Benjamin’s writings exploring snow in Moscow and Berlin of the early 20th century. Six short chapters – ”State of Exception”, ”The Physics of Snow”, ”New Spaces and Forms”, ”Humans in the Night”, ”A Project of Photography” and ”At Home Again” – add up to a mimetically based reflection on the somaesthetic potentials of urban snow and skiing in contemporary urbanity
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
Urbani prizori in nevideno
No full textThe author analyses the historical, theoretical and metaphorical meanings of the »city«, supporting or illustrating his views with those of G. Simmel, F. Engels, W. Benjamin, L. Mumford, R. Sennett and C. Baudelaire. He focuses his discussion mostly on Berlin and offers a pragmatist reading of this city.Avtor analizira zgodovinske, teoretske in metaforične pomene »mesta«, pri čemer opira svoja stališča na poglede G. Simmla, F. Engelsa, W. Benjamina, L. Mumforda, R. Sennetta in C. Baudelaira. Svojo razpravo osredotoča predvsem na Berlin ter ponudi pragmatistično branje tega mesta
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
