Mediality on Trial
No full textInsofar as one presumes a division between distinctly opposed categories of religion and the secular, technical media tend to be associated with the secular and human (trance) mediums tend to be associated with religion after 1900. This volume concerns the ways in which the term medium marks an overlapping of – and thus problematizes – the division between religion and the secular, the personal and the technological
Roundtable: Solidarität neu befragen. Widersprüche und Möglichkeiten.
No full textGerade in Zeiten von Corona- und Klimakrise sind Solidaritätsaufrufe allgegenwärtig.
Zugleich bleibt Solidarität ein vieldeutiger, umkämpfter Begriff. Solidarisches Miteinander
muss immer wieder neu befragt werden, genauso wie die Bedingungen dafür.
Die Abschlussveranstaltung des Projekts „Eine Uni – Ein Buch: Die Uni Bremen liest ‚Die
Pest‘ von Albert Camus“ und des Themensemesters „Solidarität neu befragen“ diskutiert
Möglichkeiten, Widersprüche und Behinderungen von Solidarität unter den Bedingungen
von Krise und Polarisierung mit Kultur- und Medienwissenschaftler*innen sowie mit
Aktivist*innen und Studierenden.
Der Abend bietet einerseits einen kurzen Blick zurück auf die bisherigen
Veranstaltungen, Debatten und Ergebnisse. Zugleich wollen wir uns mit Gästen aus
Politik, Aktivismus und Wissenschaft den zentralen Fragen unseres Projektes stellen:
Was bedeutet Solidarität in Zeiten von mehrfachen Krisen und gesellschaftlichen
Polarisierungen? Wie wird Solidarität (unterschiedlich) erlebt, verstanden und
praktiziert? Wie lässt sich Solidarität im Hinblick auf verschiedene Erfahrungen
und Kontexte im Alltag, in der Politik und Wissenschaft neu befragen? Was sind
Hindernisse für Solidarität und Solidarisierung und wie können wir antisolidarischen
Strukturen entgegen treten
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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
