University Art Collections research. As a collaboration, it involves students and staff
working in partnership with the University’s Talbot Rice Gallery, the National Galleries of
Scotland, University Art Collections and the Centre for Research Collections, centred around
curatorial research and display of the University of Edinburgh’s historic Torrie Collection of
painting and sculpture

The Torrie Collection:University of Edinburgh Talbot Rice Gallery
No full textThis commemorative publication brings together the work of academic faculty, curators and graduate students to celebrate the University of Edinburgh's founding collection of art. The Torrie Collection works of art comprise Dutch 'Golden Age' painting and sixteenth-century Florentine bronzes in the tradition of Michelangelo. Gifted to the university in 1836, it speaks for 180 years of University art collecting and artistic heritage. On display in the University’s magnificent Georgian Gallery, designed by the University architect William Henry Playfair who oversaw the Torrie bequest, it represents an unrivaled opportunity to display these works in the historic interior for which they were destined. Normally housed between the University and the National Gallery of Scotland, the return of the Torrie Collection to the University in 2016 is a celebration of this remarkable collection and the role it has played in our cultural, institutional, and intellectual history of art, architecture, and nationhood. The exhibition also represents a unique teaching and research collaboration between the University and the National Galleries of Scotland undertaken through a series of pioneering student-led exhibitions on the Torrie Collection, 2014-17. This book is a lasting record of the University of Edinburgh's Talbot Rice Gallery exhibition of the Torrie Collection over 2016-17 that builds on 3 years of postgraduate training with academic and curatorial staff, and the National Galleries of Scotland, as part of a larger research project on the Torrie Collection funded by the Principal's Fund, University of Edinburgh. Co-written and edited by our graduate students, it is testimony to our commitment to excellence in both teaching and research. It forms part of a series of research-led exhibitions with publications by the PI on university collections, as a testament to their distinctive past and future potential as agents of enquiry and learning

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
