Bogdan Bogdanović: Dissident in life, architecture and writing
Full text linkThe paper analyses selected works of Bogdan Bogdanović (1922- 2010). This Serbian architect, writer and Professor of Architecture at
the University of Belgrade, was the author of numerous monuments devoted to the victims of fascism in former Yugoslavia (1952-81). As the Mayor of Belgrade (1982-86) Bogdanović was a liberal member of the Yugoslav Communist Party and later, a strong opponent of Milošević’s regime. This paper argues that Bogdanović has always been both a dissident and an avant-garde proponent of architectural surrealism and its wider culture. Living with the belief that the vocation of an architect presupposes lifetime devotion to learning and experimentation, Bogdanović carried on with this attitude throughout his life. This approach, spiced up with playfulness and mystery as presented in his early volume Zaludna mistrija (The Futile Trowel) 1968, is the focus of this paper. In this unusual book the narratives are an intrinsic part of the architectural realm including design, drawings of various kinds, and the built form itself
Bauhaus International. The Intellectual Formation of the Greek Architect Ioannis Despotopoulos: A Journey from the Bauhaus and the Weimar Republic to Athens, Stockholm, and post-war West Berlin
Full text linkThe dissertation presents and analyzes critically the intellectual biography of the Greek architect Ioannis Despotopoulos. It explores how his work was structured and evolved over time, examining the context in which he operated, the international networks to which he belonged, and his interactions with the diverse cultural, political, and architectural environments in which he lived, namely those of Germany, Greece, and Sweden. The dissertation focuses on the key aspects of Despotopoulos' intellectual contributions, detailing the fundamental principles of his thinking and illustrating how they developed in response to the major events of his time and the different contexts in which he was immersed. His work reveals the international influence of the Bauhaus, the socially oriented architecture in Berlin during the Weimar Republic, and the vision of modernization in interwar Greece. It also highlights his response to the Nazi occupation in Athens through his architectural teaching and practice, as well as his vision for liberation. The dissertation follows his exile due to political beliefs in Sweden and his engagement with the post-war reconstruction challenges in Europe. Finally, it examines his vision for the post-war reconstruction of Greece during the post-civil war period and his involvement with the network of architects in the Berlin Academy of Arts
Corviale en dérive
Full text linkCorviale en dérive ist eine Reise vom Zentrum Roms bis hin in dessen Peripherie. Sie gleicht einem situationistischen Spaziergang, welcher eine äußerst befreiende Übung darstellt und die uns, wo immer wir uns auch auf dieser Welt befinden mögen, stets ein wenig Leichtigkeit schenken kann
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
