Chia-Ming Wang and His Popular Culture Trilogy
No full text王嘉明「常民三部曲」 中文摘要 台灣莎士比亞的妹妹們的劇團導演王嘉明系列作品「常民三部曲」，取材自台灣常民流行文化，將「十年」一代視為其創作概念，歸納整理一九七零、八零、九零三個世代區間台灣娛樂產業與民生文化的大事件，推出作品分別為首部曲八零年代《麥可傑克森》、二部曲《李小龍的阿砸一聲》、三部曲《SMAP X SMAP》。三部作品依台灣社會發展進程的文化實況，展現各自獨立迥異的表演形式與語言風格：《麥可傑可森》以模仿八零年代知名人士與重現經典節目串聯的尾牙綜藝秀形式，以美國流行天王麥可傑克森歌曲作為貫穿，呈現戒嚴到解嚴的民間心理活動；《李小龍的阿砸一聲》為六代神話家族故事，透過社會符碼的挪用與新詮，書寫富含浪漫色彩的國族寓言；《SMAP X SMAP》處理九零年代日劇風潮，透過日劇十一話外加特別篇SP的演出結構，配合王嘉明自創的日台語混雜的新語言，在觀眾面前呈現電視電影影像由拍攝到後製的商品製造過程，玩弄影像虛構與真實界限的兩面關係。 「常民三部曲」為王嘉明作品中至今唯一的系列創作，有利於研究者對於創作者個人的創作動機與歷史觀作整體觀察。本論文試圖以台灣七零、八零、九零三個世代的時代特色與三部作品相互參照，討論王嘉明在史實與戲劇間穿梭的編導手法。Chia-Ming, Wang and His Popular Culture Trilogy Abstract Chia-Ming Wang, the director of Shakespeare’s Wild Sisters Group, based his theatre series Popular Culture Trilogy on Taiwanese everyday life. Using “decade” as the main creative concept, Chia-Ming’s Trilogy divides Taiwan’s modern history into three parts, 1970s, 1980, and 1990s. The first episode Michael Jackson-Back to the 80’s focuses on entertainment and parody, trying to reproduce the mentality of Taiwan society from the period of martial law to the period after lifting the martial law. The second episode Bruce Lee-Welcome to the 70’s is a mythological fable dealing with nationality imagination. The third episode SMAP X SMAP-In love with the 90’s ironically plays the duality between image and theatre. Bearing the structure commonly seen in Japanese drama, SMAP X SMAP-in love with the 90’s uses a new kind of spoken language mixed with both Taiwanese and Japanese, sometimes together with English, forcing the audience to rely on subtitles to understand the meaning of the performance. Popular Culture Trilogy is the only series of Chia-Ming, Wang so far, which provides a great opportunity for those interested in Chia-Ming’s works to look into his idea about history, directing style and creation concepts. The article aims at discussing the connections between Taiwan historical facts and the trilogy of theatre works, and provides plenty of personal views about the important director of Taiwanese modern theatre
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
