Yan Tan Tethera
No full textA new body of research and series of works for public exhibition, ‘Yan Tan Tethera’, sharing and bringing to life some of the songs and dances that have emanated from, and been inspired by, England’s textiles industry. Spanning five months, the wider ‘Yan Tan Tethera’ project, a season of performances, events, workshops and exhibition, took over Cecil Sharp House and spilt into the local Camden area. Robins’ research, ‘Cabinet of Textile Folk Curiosities’, was undertaken through the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library and the Full English Digital Archives. It centred around references to knitting, fibre and textile production, straying into areas of personal interest; her home village of Rottingdean in East Sussex, (also home to the English folk singers, the Copper Family), the much maligned county of Essex where she now lives, witches and witchcraft and the sensational murders immortalized in the popular Broadside Ballads. Robins’ finished works, ‘Collection of Knitted Folk Objects’ were heavily influenced by an old children’s rhyme. It is the ultimate playground insult; you have a disabled father who cannot walk, even with a walking stick, and a mother who cannot knit! “Tell-tale tit, yer mither cannae knit, Yer father cannae walk wi a walkin-stick.” Other exhibiting artists were Shane Waltener, Prick Your Finger (Rachael Matthews), Stewart Easton, Celia Ward, the McGrath Makers’ Group, and artists from the collective sampler-cultureclash. Exhibition and events toured to Walford Mill Crafts, Wimborne, Dorset to coincide with Wimborne Folk Festival 12 – 14 June 2015. The exhibition received press coverage in Selvedge, July/August 2014, Embroidery, October 2014 and was reviewed, ‘Protest and production in song’, by Liz Hoggard, Crafts, no. 250 September/October 2014 p.88-89. Yan Tan Tethera was curated by David Littler, promoted by the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) and supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England

No full textIn this paper we present our method for acquiring and integrating knowledge from discourse using Belief Augmented Frames (BAFs) and Discourse Representation Theory (DRT). We show how several common discourse phenomena can be evaluated and integrated using BAFs and DRT, and introduce KAINA (Knowledge Acquisition and Integration in Nave Agents), our implementation of BAFs for the collection and integration of knowledge, particularly from spoken discourse
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
