Introduction:locating imagination in popular culture: place, tourism and belonging
Full text linkThis chapter investigates the multifaceted relations between imagination, place, and popular culture in the context of contemporary society. It is time to scrutinize these claims and to investigate in detail how the connections between imagination, place, and popular culture are made in cultural practice. The concept of the imagination can serve as a – thus far — missing link between media studies, cultural geography, cultural studies, and tourism studies. The imagination, as mediator between cognitive, and practiced experiences of place, could be an important concept for efforts in this direction. Within Rationalism and Enlightenment thinking, the imagination was even interpreted as an obstacle to the progress of mankind. Instinctive, organic emotions such as fear, love, hate, and lust will excite the imagination, but it is the schemata of our culture that determine how these emotions take shape and result in certain scenarios and locations. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.<br/

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
I just can't get you out of my head:How music triggers the imagination
Full text linkThe imagination is defined broadly as a mental capacity for “being in the world” and more narrowly as a mental visual image of something perceptually absent. In these definitions, the visual aspect of imagining plays a predominant role. In this chapter, I explore how other senses than the visual play a role in imagining, more specifically focusing on how music stimulates the imagination. Based on the analysis of 52 interviews with music tourists, music is shown to be able to stimulate the imagination in various ways, arguing the imaginary is at once cognitive, affective, and embodied. Though the visual is by no means absent in the process of imagining, an analysis of the specific characteristics of music sheds light on the affective and embodied dimensions of “being in the world” particularly
