    <Research Articles> Living in the Motherland as a Stranger: A Study of the Autobiographical Novels of Malayan Chinese Wang Xiaoping

    Full text link
    [ABSTRACT] This paper focuses on the trilogy of Autobiographical novels of Wang Xiaoping (1919-2007) who is a Chinese writer from British Malaya. His life and thought torn apart between People's Republic of China and Singapore in 1940s-1980s were treated in these novels. He has not been well known for many years despite having family members who are famous writers Ru Zhijuan and Wang Anyi. Accordingly, this paper studies the spiritual history of Wang Xiaoping as writer and director from an aspect of the military officer of People's Republic of China. In other words, it reveals how he lived in his “homeland” as a gentile with trauma and regret.application/pdfdepartmental bulletin pape

    Unitary posets and amalgamations of pomonoids

    In 1927, Schreier proved that amalgams of groups are always embeddable in the category of groups. However, this is not true in the category of semigroups, as shown by Kimura. Subsequently, Howie initiated the study of semigroup amalgams by investigating when the embeddablity happens, and found that semigroup amalgams can be embeddable if the core of the amalgam is almost unitary [18]. Later, Hall proved that inverse semigroups are amalgamation bases in the category of inverse semigroups [14], and Renshaw introduced a homological structure in order to describe the amalgamated free product [32]. By using this structure, Renshaw proved that a semigroup U is an amalgmation base if, and only if, U has the extension property in every containing semi-group. Renshaw's result, which shows that a semigroup amalgam is embeddable if, and only if, it is embeddable as a monoid, allow us to focus on monoid amalgams. The subject of pomonoid amalgams was first studied by Fakhuruddin in 1986 but he only considered the commutative case [10]. Little work has been done in this category and recently Bulman-Fleming and Nasir revisited this area (see [7], [6], and [29]). They modified Fakhuruddin's definition of pomonoid amalgams, where they proved that a pomonoid amalgam that has the postrong representation extension property is strongly poembeddable [7]. They also proved that pogroups are strong poamalgamation bases in the category of pomonoids. Nasir [29] found that absolutely poatness pomonoids are strong poamalgamation bases in the category of commutative pomonoids. However, several questions remain unanswered in this area, and this research continues to study pomonoid amalgams by exploring when poembeddability can happen. It also aims to generalise some of the results in monoid amalgams. In addition, a number of subjects related to pomonoid amalgams have been considered, for example dominions and subpomonoid amalgams. New questions about the class of amalgamation bases have emerged recently and we briefly consider some of these

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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
