The song of the soul: transforming disabling illness through art.
Get PDFThe focus of this qualitative, arts-based inquiry was to understand how disabling
illness might be transformed through art. A/r/tography -- art/research/teaching and
writing, was the method used to explore and understand the meaning(s) held within the
art: Border Crossings -- a conceptual, figurative, sculptural installation. The installation
embodied the experience of disabling illness, symbolically depicting power relationships,
identities, subjectivities and the multi-dimensional nature of being, of one coming up
against the institution, the illness and the self. Guided by the work of Heidegger
(Hermeneutic Circle), Deleuze and Guatarri (Rhizome and The body without Organs) and
Foucault (Power Relationships), the A/r/tographer examined the installation through the
lens of the poststructural feminist writers Grosz, Davis, Gatens, Weedon, Moss and Dyck
with a focus on the body/subjective to explore notions central to understanding being in a
body. A further analysis through art theorists Eisner, Allen and A/r/tographers Irwin and
Springgay’s aesthetic perspectives, explicated the nuance of how art transformed the ill
researcher and larger community.
The results of the inquiry revealed a multi-dimensional, generative process of
opening multiple thresholds of complexity, understanding and transformation of the
experience of disabling illness for inquirer, and the art participant/observers/larger
community. The research illuminates the value of A/r/tography as a potent means of
inquiry into lived experience and how art enhances the understandings and possibilities
for the transformation of the experience of disabling illness/lived experience.Graduat

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
