Regresyvioji muzikos vartojimo dialektika: Mainstream muzikos ir kultūros industrijos kritika
No full textMaster thesis employs and updates T. W. Adorno’s theory of regression of listening in order to analyze culture industry and its effects on music and listening habits. The ideas of music as background, commodity, reproduction, imitation and territorialization are explored. The conclusion that the variety of genres does not introduce any significant differences between them, as they are essentially interchangeable between one another is reached. Thesis proposes that this is a regressive dialectic—a dialectic that does not obtain progress but regresses backwardly as differences exist only between the forms and not the content of the art. The possibility of music that wields social control and influence as well as provides the hope and possibility of emancipation from social and cultural hegemony is explored. The final chapter shows how the theory of regression of listening can be used in praxis by analyzing a selected band “Alexisonfire” and their works.Magistro baigiamąjame darbe siekiant išanalizuoti kultūros industriją ir jos poveikį muzikai ir klausymosi įpročiams naudojama ir atnaujinama T. W. Adono regresyvaus klausymosi teorija. Kalbama apie muzikos kaip fono, prekės, reprodukcijos, imitacijos ir teritorializacijos vaidmenis. Prieinama išvados, kad žanrų įvairovė nesukuria reikšmingų skirtumų tarp jų, nes žanrai gali būti sukeičiami tarpusavyje (interchageable). Darbe tai vadinama regresyviaja dialektika. Tai dialektika kuri ne progresuoja, bet regresuoja atgal, nes skirtumai egzistuoja tik tarp meno formų, o ne turinio. Tikrinama muzikos, kuri naudojama socialinei kontrolei ir poveikiui, bei suteikia socialinės vilties emancipacijai nuo socialinės ir kultūrinės hegemonijos, galimybė. Paskutinėje darbo dalyje pateikiamas grupės „Alexisonfire“ ir jos kuriamos muzikos pavyzdys, kuriuo siekiama atskleisti teorijos taikymo galimybes praktikoje
Formation of Otaku Cultural Identity: Šiauliai Club "Yorokonde" Case Study.
No full textThe Bachelor‘s thesis analyses otaku cultural identity formation in Šiauliai Japanese culture enthusiasts club „Yorokonde“. The work consists of two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part analyses the various authors talking about identity theories of self construction or socially constructed person. It also examines different approaches to the pop culture. In the empirical part Japanese culture spreading chronology is reconstructed. The concept of otaku term issues and implications is examined. Otaku identity and its formation through the activities of the otaku is analysed. Anime and manga importance to the interest of Japanese culture is extracted in the work.Examined relation between punk „Do-it-yourself“ ideas and cosplay, and also what cosplay is. Examined homosexual manga genre yaoi, and Japanese language usage in otaku speech
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
