Being Resident:Gordon House 2018-19
Get PDFThis chapter, focuses on a body of practice-based research called Breath Drawings made during three residential visits to Gordon House, Margate, UK. These visits took place between May 2018 and November 2019. Culminating in an exhibition called Returning Now (November-December 2019). I will discuss the experience of drawing in situ as being resident. I describe a drawing practice which allows an experience of the physicality of place not as something we observe and record with a detached eye, but rather something we live in, something we inhabit as developing a visceral relationship to the world. By this I mean, how the act of drawing on location, through a non-representational, repetitive, tactile process allowed me to make manifest specifics of a domestic space in the process of transition. In tandem, this investigation enquired into a comparative relationship between mediation and mindfully drawing which enabled me to begin to configure, make sense and communicate my experience of drawing as an embodied activity. In doing so an attempt is made to weave together different discourses, through a methodology that is essentially phenomenological, yet draws explicitly from the pragmatism of John Dewey. Underpinning this, I will situate my artistic research in the context of an embodied and phenomenological enquiry, as an experiential, subjective based methodology. I put forward a case that artistic research can be a form of knowledge that is situated and embodied (Dewey 1934/2005, Johnson 2007, 2010, Shusterman 2000, 2008, Jacob 2018).<br/

Hearing holy landscapes: heritage of silence - Intangibility between nature and culture
No full textThis thesis is an exploration through silence to contemplate the landscape of the Ovčar – Kablar
Gorge and its heritage. Departing from the traditional focus on acoustics and soundscape in
landscape and heritage studies, the work considers silence as a threshold into the experiential
field of expansion and openness. Based on relational perspectives of phenomenology, the
research looks into how silence imbues the way of life in this sacred natural area, including
intangible elements such as traditional practices, memories, and people’s relationship with
nature. Its overarching aim in doing so is to examine an underlying interplay between landscape
and silence. Contextualised in the dynamics of connectivity, movement and becoming, pursued
by the path of experimental methodology, this endeavour takes us into a suspended, mercurial
state of the ineffable, where landscape is pondered through an interweaving and unfolding of
experience.
In the flow between insideness and outsideness, solitude and sharing, this journey shows
silence as a portal into the realm of alternative, personal and shared stories, encounters, and
others, while unveiling intangibility as a relationship innately embodied in the landscape,
which is itself lived as heritage. The research adds to the collaborative interdisciplinary trends
that explore subjectivity and embodied, relational ways of knowing. It also contributes to the
deliberations on silence as a concept while pertaining to efforts to revitalise sensory, art-based
inquiries that harness the potential of the intricacies of human experience for academic
research. In the in-betweenness of paradoxical emerging and evanescing, silence illuminates
the landscape through the inevitable fluidity of life, awakening us to the realisation that
understanding of ourselves and of the world we indwell lies in the thread of their perpetual,
open-ended, and ever-shifting entanglement; - RESUMO: Ouvindo as Paisagens Sagradas: Património do Silêncio - Intangibilidade entre a
Natureza e a Cultura
A presente tese é uma exploração através do silêncio para contemplar a paisagem do
desfiladeiro Ovčar — Kablar e o respetivo património. Partindo do foco tradicional na acústica
e soundscape em estudos de paisagem e património, o trabalho considera o silêncio como um
limiar para o campo experiencial de expansão e abertura. Usando as perspetivas
fenomenológicas relacionais, o estudo explora como o silêncio impregna o modo de vida nessa
área natural sagrada, incluindo as práticas tradicionais, memórias e a relação com a natureza.
O seu objetivo abrangente é examinar uma relação subjacente entre paisagem e silêncio.
Contextualizada na dinâmica da conectividade, do movimento e do devir, perseguida pelo
caminho da metodologia experimental, esta empreitada leva-nos a um estado suspenso e fluido
do inefável, onde a paisagem é pensada através de um entrelaçamento e evolução da
experiência.
No fluxo entre o interior e o exterior, entre a solidão e a partilha, esta viagem revela o silêncio
como um portal para o reino de histórias alternativas, pessoais e partilhadas, encontros, e
outros, ao mesmo tempo que desvenda a intangibilidade como uma relação, inerentemente
incorporada na paisagem que é ela própria vivida como património. A pesquisa contribui para
as tendências interdisciplinares colaborativas que exploram a subjetividade e as formas
corporizadas e relacionais de conhecer. Também contribui para as deliberações do silêncio
como um conceito, paralelamente em que pertence aos esforços para revitalizar as
investigações sensoriais baseadas na arte que aproveitam o potencial das complexidades da
experiência humana para a pesquisa académica. No meio do paradoxal surgimento e
desaparecimento, o silêncio ilumina a paisagem através da inevitável fluidez da vida,
despertando-nos para a perceção de que a compreensão de nós mesmos e do mundo em que
habitamos está no fio da sua perpétua, aberta e sempre evoluindo em forma de meada
Holy path of the Ovcar. Kablar Gorge: transmitting one landscape´s spirit of place
Get PDFO Caminho Sagrado do desfiladeiro Ovcar - Kablar: transmitindo espírito do lugar de uma paisagem
Situada na encruzilhada de estudos do património e da paisagem, esta tese investiga o conceito do espírito do lugar no desfiladeiro de Ovcar – Kablar, uma área de património religioso e natural no sudoeste da Sérvia. Popularmente conhecido como Montanha Sagrada, o desfiladeiro está classificado e protegido como uma paisagem de beleza e características notáveis, com elementos significativos do património geológico e de biodiversidade. É também um local histórico e cultural único, com dez mosteiros ortodoxos medievais e duas igrejas construidas dentro de cavernas que preservam cerca de cinco séculos de vida e prática religiosas.
A pesquisa visa analisar os elementos que contribuem para o espírito desta paisagem sagrada, bem como os meios para a sua transmissão e os seus instrumentos de representação. Aplicando o conceito de um itinerário que liga os lugares sagrados da região, o estudo investiga a interrelação existente entre as pessoas e a paisagem.
Fundamentada na abordagem fenomenológica, a metodologia utilizada aliou a análise histórica com a pesquisa narrativa, usando o diálogo estabelecido com residentes da comunidade local, para documentar uma narrativa de paisagem viva que é ao mesmo tempo um lugar da adoração e um indicador de poder. Ecoando a compreensão da "experiência vivida" entre "interioridade" e "exterioridade", a pesquisa tem a sua base na prática, introduzindo o desenho como forma de examinar como o espírito do lugar surge a partir do encontro íntimo de si proprio com a paisagem.
Seguindo a orientação da narrativa e do sentido de lugar, a pesquisa teceu uma história da paisagem do desfiladeiro de Ovcar - Kablar como um local cujo espírito se revela como uma emoção insondável sentida por todo o ambiente que o rodeia, uma metamorfose entre o passado e o presente e entre o material e o imaterial; RÉSUMÉ:
Situé au carrefour des études du patrimoine et du paysage, ce mémoire étudie le concept de l'esprit du lieu dans la gorge Ovcar - Kablar, territoire où se mêlent patrimoine religieux et naturel, dans le sud-ouest de la Serbie. Surnommée "Montagne Sacrée", la gorge est protégée parce qu'elle est un paysage à la beauté et aux caractéristiques remarquables, avec des éléments significatifs du patrimoine géologique et de la biodiversité. Elle est également un site culturel et historique unique avec dix monastères médiévaux orthodoxes et deux églises troglodytes qui témoignent d'environ cinq siècles de vie quotidienne religieuse.
La recherche vise à examiner les éléments qui contribuent à l'esprit de ce paysage sacré, ainsi que les moyens de sa transmission et les instruments de représentation. En proposant un itinéraire reliant les lieux sacrés de la région, l'étude se penche sur la relation entrelacée qui existe entre l'homme et le paysage.
Ancrée dans l'approche phénoménologique, la méthodologie a épousé une analyse historique par la recherche narrative. Un dialogue avec les résidents de la communauté locale a documenté un récit du paysage vivant qui est en même temps un lieu de culte et un témoin des pouvoirs. Compte tenu de la compréhension de «l'expérience vécue» entre «intériorité» et «extériorité», la recherche basée sur la pratique a pour but d'examiner comment l'esprit du lieu se construit dans la rencontre intime de soi avec le paysage.
Conformément aux orientations du récit et au sens du lieu, la recherche a tissé une histoire du paysage de la gorge Ovcar–Kablar. Son esprit s'y révèle être une émotion insaisissable ressentie dans tous les environs, entre passé et présent, matériel et immatériel; ABSTRACT: Set at the crossroads of heritage and landscape studies, this thesis investigates the concept of the spirit of place in the Ovcar – Kablar Gorge, an area of religious and natural heritage in southwestern Serbia. Popularly known as “Holy Mountain’’, the gorge is protected as a landscape of outstanding beauty and features, with significant elements of geological heritage and biodiversity. It is also a unique cultural and historic site with ten medieval Orthodox monasteries and two church caves that preserve around five centuries of living religious practice. The research seeks to examine the elements that contribute to the spirit of this sacred landscape, as well as the means of its transmission and the instruments of representation. Applying a concept of an itinerary that connects the sacred places in the area, the study delves into the intertwined relationship that exists between people and the landscape. Grounded in phenomenological approach, the methodology married historical analysis with narrative research, using a dialogue with residents of the local community, to document a narrative of living landscape that is at the same time a place of worship and a telltale of power. Echoing understanding of the “lived experience” between “insideness” and “outsideness”, practice based research introduced drawing to examine how a spirit of place arises in the intimate encounter of self and the landscape. Following the guidance of the narrative and sense of place, the research wove a story of the landscape of the Ovcar – Kablar Gorge as the one in which its spirit reveals itself as an unfathomable emotion felt throughout the environs, shapeshifting between the past and the present, and between tangible and intangible
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
