9/11 e il terrore: un adattamento grafico di Sid Jacobson e Ernie Colόn
Get PDFThe graphic report published in 2006 by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Coln, an adaptation from The 9/11 Report by the National Commission on terrorist attacks upon the United States, was dedicated “to the memory of those who lost their lives”, hoping that it could help to better understand what happened that day and in the years leading up to it. Thus, using the rhetoric of terror as a guideline, memory seems to be the central aim of a book which longs to be “accessible to all”, in particular, to a new set of readers who could be interested in graphic narration. “Our goal (…) was not only to inform our fellow citizens about history but also to energize and engage them on behalf of reform and change, to make our country safer and more secure”, so reads the Forward to Jacobson and Coln’s work. But is it true
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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
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
MASALAH SOSIAL MASYARAKAT JERMAN DALAM KOMIK DAS LEBEN VON ANNE FRANK - EINE GRAFISCHE BIOGRAFIE KARYA SID JACOBSON DAN ERNIE COLÓN: SEBUAH KAJIAN SOSIOLOGI SASTRA
Get PDFTujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk mengetahui masalah sosial masyarakat
Jerman yang terdapat dalam komik Das Leben von Anne Frank - Eine grafische
Biografie karya Sid Jacobson dan Ernie Colón. Penelitian ini merupakan
penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik studi pustaka dan pendekatan
sosiologi sastra yang mempertimbangkan karya sastra dari segi kemasyarakatan.
Data dalam penelitian ini adalah panel yang terdiri dari gambar dan
kalimat yang terdapat di dalam dan di luar Sprechblase dan Blocktext dalam
komik tersebut. Panel tersebut dianalisis berdasarkan teori masalah sosial menurut
Günter Albrecht dan Axel Groenemeyer. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan
sebanyak 60 data dalam komik yang menggambarkan masalah sosial masyarakat
Jerman. Satu panel di antaranya memiliki dua masalah sosial. Masalah sosial yang
tergambarkan dalam komik ini adalah Etnische Diskriminierung, Rassismus und
gruppenbezogene Menschenfeindlichkeit sebanyak 28 data, Makrogewalt:
Rebellion, Revolution, Krieg und Genozid sebanyak 20 data, Gesundheit und
Krankheit sebanyak 4 data, Kriminalität und Delinquenz sebanyak 4 data, Alter
und Altern sebanyak 2 data, dan Arbeitslosigkeit, Freizeit, dan Gewalt gegen
Frauen masing-masing terdapat 1 data.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut dapat diinterpretasikan bahwa
Etnische Diskriminierung, Rassismus und gruppenbezogene
Menschenfeindlichkeit banyak terjadi karena sikap rasisme Hitler dan Nazi yang
sangat membenci etnis Yahudi dan ingin memusnahkan populasi mereka.
Makrogewalt: Rebellion, Revolution, Krieg und Genozid juga banyak
digambarkan dalam komik ini karena hasrat Hitler yang ingin menguasai dunia
dan bentuk realisasi atas pembantaian etnis Yahudi melalui kamp konsentrasi dan
kamp pemusnahan
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
