Coop coast - architecture, culture and inter-urban exchange
No full textLecture and panel discussion at the Imagined Cites conference as part of Folkestone Triennial 2014.
Many of the artists participating in the 2014 Folkestone Triennial work at the intersection between art, architecture and urbanism. The two-day conference looked at the relationship between art and architecture in the way that cities and towns are planned and built, as well as how they are experienced as places to live, work, play and learn.
The conference was inspired by the tagline – 'A City Imagined' – for East Kent's controversial bid to become City of Culture 2017. The bid created an imagined city that included one official city (Canterbury), two towns (Ashford and Dover), a district (Shepway, including Folkestone) and the 'Isle' of Thanet. The bid failed to make the shortlist but provoked a lively debate about our preconceived ideas around architecture and urbanism, and how we might re-imagine the notion of the city.
The first day brought together artists, architects, planners and thinkers to explore issues around masterplanning. The second day looked at the impact of culture-led regeneration, its legitimacy, challenges and legacy, with particular focus on the Kent coast.
Keynote speakers included Sir Terry Farrell, architect, and Jude Kelly, artistic director, Southbank Centre.
Speakers included: Pablo Bronstein; Ben Campkin; Brigitte Orasinski; Mark Davy; Diane Dever; Owen Hatherley; Sam Jacob; Sue Jones; Kieran Long; Fred Manson; Anna Minton; Rowan Moore; muf architecture/art; Victoria Pomery; Vicky Richardson; Darren Smith; Something & Son; Gabor Stark; Wouter Vanstiphout; and Finn Williams
ReCreate publication series
No full textThe UCA ReCreate publication series has been edited by Amie Rai and Gabor Stark.
UCA has been involved in four Interreg programmes: ACT, Crysalis, ICR and ReCreate. Various courses and cohorts at UCA Canterbury, Farnham and Rochester have been working within the thematic framework of the ReCreate Interreg programme. A first set of five publications showcases student and staff-led collaborative projects that engage with the Recreate agenda of culture-led regeneration strategies:
- Transforming Spaces edited by Peter Waters;
- Reading Rooms edited by Lara Rettondini;
- Syn City edited by Gabor Stark;
- Ephemeral Spaces edited by JJ Brophy and Chris Settle;
- Folkestone Centipede edited by Terry Perk and Julian Rowe.
A further three publications will complete the series in 2015.
The publication and project was supported by ReCreate, an initiative selected under the European Cross-border Cooperation Programme Interreg IV A France (Channel) – England, co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund
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
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
On the transposition of disciplines as a learning tool
No full textThis publication showcases research and work by staff and students of Canterbury School of Architecture. The suffix -ing establishes various modes of performative spatial production. The cover of the publication, perforated to be ripped apart into 12 cards, reads as if put together as the word SPACE. The inside cover acts as an alternative contents page with quotations of each of
the texts containing the different -ing words highlighted on the cover. The grid, created by the perforations, and the relation of each card to a text within the book, guides the graphical rhythm
of the different texts within this publication. An index of -ing words closes the book.edition: 1stsponsorship: Canterbury School of Architecturestatus: Publishe
