Wer sich nicht erinnert, hat keine Geschichte. Zum Phänomen gestörter Erinnerungen und heilsamen Vergessens in der Migrationsliteratur aufgrund des Erzähltextes „Das Gedächtnis der Libellen” von Marica Bodrožić
No full textEnquiring into the process of remembering and forgetting seems to be a fundamentally neuropsychological issue. Many writers and novelists tend to take on that matter while depicting their main characters, who deliver an account of their past adventures to the reader via recollections and memories. The paper attempts to analyse the distinctive features of the space, especially after the recognition of the spatial turn and its main assumptions. The author indicates the vital importance of borders as well as their crossing. In addition to the analysis of the mentioned genres, the author focuses on the perception and capturing of space in general as well as juxtaposes its particular spatial variations, such as partial space.Enquiring into the process of remembering and forgetting seems to be a fundamentally neuropsychological issue.

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
Unterwegs. Zur Roadstory in der deutschsprachigen Popliteratur
No full text Underway. The Characteristics of a Raod-Story in German Entertaing LiteratureThis article is devoted to analysing and interpreting of two literary works: Oben leuchten die Sterne 2006 by André Kubiczek and Faserland 1995 by Christian Kracht. Special attention is paid to the patterns of the road-story, which is very popular among young writers of entertaining literature. Travelling and journeys have a special impact on the perception and vastly influence our identities. By contrasting these two novels the author of this paper indicates two different meanings and developing vs. destructing force, which can either educate a protagonist or lead to his failure and contempt. In the novel Faserland readers encounter a dandy who leads a life of luxury and who enjoys spending his days on parties and other strong stimulants. The writer criticizes the modern way of life, young party-goers, whose joy not only good music on the radio is. The main character, Bender, in the novel Oben leuchten die Sterne gives up his style of life after receiving his grandfather’s last will. Bender assumes the new task and sets off, to get to the new people, who are obliged to help him, in order to fulfill the last will of his grandfather. Both works illustrate the roads and highways and present by contrast different perspectives of these protagonists. Underway.

Zur Ästhetisierung der Reproduzierbarkeit und der Realitätsauflösung in der neuesten deutschen Popliteratur
No full textAesthetic Forms of Reproducibility and Reality Dissolution in the Recent German Popular LiteratureThe author of this paper attempts to analyse the range and the phenomenon of the end and the finiteness of our culture and its artefacts, which are differently depicted and demonstrated in Thomas Hettche’s novels, such as Ludwig muss sterben 1989, Die Liebe der Väter 2010 and the collection of riveting essays published as Totenberg 2012.32 The German writer inquires about the particular forms of a narrative as well as the function and placement of a narrator. In addition, the novelist elaborated a number of story-telling strategies, which allow him to present various modalities of remembering and conserving the past and to render it more reproducible as well. Besides, the author of the above-mentioned works underlines the special place of historical memory, which affects the way of perceiving the past not only by a single person, but also by imaginated communities with the awareness of self-finiteness. The renunciation of looking back and remembering would mean a considerable and deepest breach in the history of our civilization.remembering and conserving the past and to render it more reproducible as well.Formy estetyzacji odtwarzalności rozproszonejrzeczywistości w najnowszej niemieckiejliteraturze popularnej na podstawie wybranych utworów Thomasa HettcheCelem niniejszego artykułu jest próba opisania zasobu strategii narracyjnych występujących w tekstach literackich niemieckiego autora Thomasa Hettche. Autor powieści Ludwig muss sterben i Die Liebe der Väter oraz zbioru esejów Totenberg33 posługuje się stylistycznymi narzędziami, przywołując w swych opowieściach przeszłość w różnych formach jej estetyzacji. Spotykane wariacje szkicowania minionych czasów oraz zjawiska przemijania zmierzają do remitologizacji obrazu wojny, a także odczarowania wspomnień z własnego dzieciństwa. W artykule przedstawione zostały także sposoby traktowania przeszłości jako pretekstu do eksperymentu myślowego, włączając w to zarówno apologię, jak i demitologizację obrazu przeszłości. Obok wymienionych dzieł Thomasa Hettche autor artykułu wskazuje również na wybrane utwory innych autorów niemieckojęzycznych, których teksty są funkcjonującym w przestrzeni społecznej świadectwem wyobrażenia o czasach i zjawiskach minionych.Aesthetic Forms of Reproducibility and Reality Dissolution in the Recent German Popular LiteratureThe author of this paper attempts to analyse the range and the phenomenon of the end and the finiteness of our culture and its artefacts, which are differently depicted and demonstrated in Thomas Hettche’s novels, such as Ludwig muss sterben 1989, Die Liebe der Väter 2010 and the collection of riveting essays published as Totenberg 2012.32 The German writer inquires about the particular forms of a narrative as well as the function and placement of a narrator.

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
