DILEMA TRADISI DAN MODERNITAS TELAAH ATAS “KRITIK NALAR ARAB” MUHAMMAD ABID AL-JABIRI
Full text linkAl-Jabiri denominated his interpretation project of the Arabic tradition as the Arabic reasoning critique (naqd al-aql al-arabi). The project began from his concern over the present reality of the Arab and Islamic world which arguably is still underdeveloped and his desire to present a new thought methodology as a tool to get out of the slump and awaken to the preferred reality.
Al-Jabiri differentiated two traditions, one that refers to the tadwin of Islam as part of Islamic-Arabic tradition and the other referring to and departing from the European Renaissance (modernity). The gap between "what was there" (the traditions of our past) and "what is here" (Western civilization) is growing wide and steep.
This condition, according to him, made most of us miss the romanticism of our past, but at the same time there is a desire to break away with that tradition. This is the condition that has spawned "a Split Consciousness" of the Arab society, torn between subjective and objective factors, between the ideological burdens and the objective historical reality which is increasingly far from the ideal progress of modern civilization.
In the context of modern-contemporary Arab thought, the tendency of literal-textualist thought, (read: tendency of traditionalism) can in fact be referred — though partly —to the framework bayani reasoning system, as well as other trends in favor of modernity based on burhani reasoning system as something that comes from the outside, that goes through the translation process in the tadwin period.
The attraction between the two tendencies of tradition and modernity, according to Al-Jabiri, should be used as the realization of a new tadwin moment, with the new size, standard, and enlightenment, on a single principle: "modernization" (reform of thought, tahdits) requires the fulfillment of the prerequisites of "traditionalization" (back to tradition), and similarly "traditionalization" requires the fulfillment process of "modernization.
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
Nabi Musa Menampar Malaikat Maut: Jalan Tengah Polemik Hadis Musykil
Full text linkHadith which tells the story of the Prophet Musa slapping the angel of death invites polemic among the scholars. There is a group that can accept it with various explanations, there are also those who consider death is unacceptable even though the sanad is valid. Therefore this hadith is included as an improbable hadith.
This paper tries to find a way out of the polemic. In this discussion, the author can accept opinions that reject this Hadith if the flow of understanding can be accounted for. However, the author can also accept opinions that accept it if the flow of understanding can be accounted for. An important part that must be revealed immediately in this hadith is the certainty whether or not Moses knew that what came to him was the grim reaper. If an explanation of this has been obtained, of course, we are easier to determine the attitude of accepting or rejecting this hadith. But certainty is difficult to obtain because the text of this hadith does not explicitly inform it. So what must be done now is tawaqquf
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
