The Border River Phenomenon: the Example of the River Mura
Full text linkThe Author analyses two long-term aspects of the border river phenomenon with the example of the river Mura: a) the relationship between the river bed, the boundaryline, and the anthropogenic effects on the river; b) discovering the historical structures through the perspective of border disputes. The "common sense" ideas about border rivers imply that the river bed and the boundaryline usually match. However, in the actual landscape and cartographic representations, the differences between these elements can be significant
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
Josip Jurčič’s Tradition in Muljava: The Boundaries of Localism and Nationalism
Full text linkWith the example of an amateur theatre in a Slovenian village the author demonstrates that the adherence to the local community has a significant role in the establishment of everyday nationhood, especially in the communities not bordering on »others«. The writer and patriot Josip Jurčič (1844-1881) was born in the village of Muljava. In 1911 patriotic students organised the theatre staging of Jurčič’s novel for the first time. The performances, featuring »ordinary people« speaking the local dialect, became a traditional village activity. The villagers are active and creative in cultivating a memory. The identification with the significance of »our« man in the national mythology increases the importance of the village. The organisation of rituals is an important volunteer activity, which brings the village community together. The organisation of village rituals simultaneously represents the organisation of national rituals. The adherence to the local community outgrows itself. On one hand it is concrete and the members confirm it with joint activities, while on the other hand it is placed in a wider national context. The changes in the state related and ideological context (Austro Hungary, the First Yugoslavia, the socialist Yugoslavia, Slovenia) contribute to the shaping of the village rituals. Various nation building groups attempt to approximate the local patriotic nationhood to their own versions of the national ideologies. A constant misunderstanding exists between the local patriotic nationhood and the nationhood of the elites. A successful nationalism is a misunderstanding that »works«. The author’s thesis is based on the exploration of archive, newspaper and oral sources
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
ORJUNA in PAČ na poti v Trbovlje : K zgodovini fizičnega nasilja v političnem boju
No full textORJUNA AND PROLETARIAN ACTION UNITS ON THE WAY TO TRBOVLJE ON THE HISTORY OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE IN THE CONTEX OF POLITICAL STRUGGLEThe primary purpose of the article is to bring the attention to the dual nature of physical violence in the political struggle: it has general as well as particular characteristics. Physical violence always causes material damage and casualties, and it always results in irreversible damage: the consequences of physical violence can never be completely eliminated. On the other hand physical violence always takes place in historical contexts: it has its causes and effects, perpetrators and structure. The author analyses the ambivalence of the physical violence taking place during the political conflict between the Organisation of Yugoslav Nationalists (hereinafter Orjuna) with the communists in the 1920s. What is the difference between the discourses of violence in Orjuna and the Glas svobode publications? Both newspapers justified the violence of their adherents for defence purposes. Although both the supporters of Orjuna as well as communists argued in favour of violence for defensive purposes, they interpreted the concept of defence differently. Orjuna was an organisation for the »defence« of the Yugoslav nation. They used the concept of defence very broadly, as their »enemies« threatened the Yugoslav nation by their very existence. True defence may also involve offence. However, the discourse of violence in the communist newsletter had a completely different character. There the concept of »defence« was interpreted concretely, as defence from the »capitalist hordes« which kept attacking the workers and their organisations there and then. For the communists physical violence merely represented one of the methods of the proletarian struggle that had to be resorted to in accordance with the »true« interests of the working class. The paradoxical difference between the general characteristics of violence (violence is always the same: it brings destruction) and particular characteristics of violence (violence is always different) is »hidden« in every individual violent act (or events). The general and particular characteristics of violent acts cannot be separated
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
K zgodovini naborov v Kraljevini SHS/Jugoslaviji: "V Dravski banovini je že od pamti veka v navadi, da rekruti veseljačijo"
Full text linkConscription represents one of the most important contacts between the military and civilian sphere. From the point of view of the state, conscription represents a "debt to one\u27s country", while for young men it is an important turning point in life. In any case, it is a transformation, supposedly making men out of boys. The authorities promoted this "initiation" component, since thus the army gained new significance - it supposedly helped to shape the nation. Due to unitarianism in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes / Yugoslavia, the significance of the military for the shaping of the nation was even more pronounced. However, the period of "transformation" into manhood involved drinking sprees and revelry, which the authorities tried to prevent. The author focuses on the organisation of recruitment in the Drava Banate in the years 1937-40. Serving alcohol was forbidden, but the recruits would get drunk anyway. Riots as well as political incidents would frequently take place. Civilian authorities at the lowest level were often ineffective, failing to bring the recruits to the assembly point. Conscription gave rise to interesting events, making the everyday life of local communities more interesting, regardless of whether the people were entertained or shocked by the recruits.Nabori predstavljajo eno izmed najbolj pomembnih točk stika med vojaško in civilno sfero. S stališča države predstavlja vojaška obveznost "dolg domovini", s stališča mladeničev pa pomeni nabor veliko prelomnico v življenju. V vsakem primeru gre za prehod, ki naj bi naredil iz fanta moža. To "iniciacijsko" komponento so oblasti podpirale, ker je vojska pridobila na pomenu - pomagala naj bi oblikovati narod. V Kraljevini SHS/Jugoslaviji je bila zaradi unitarizma narodotvorna vloga vojske še bolj poudarjena. Obdobje "prehoda" v moškost pa je bilo povezano s pijančevanjem in veseljačenjem, kar so poskušale oblasti preprečiti. Avtor na temelju arhivskih virov obravnava organizacijo naborov v Dravski banovini v letih 1937-1940. Točenje alkohola je bilo prepovedano, a so se naborniki kljub temu napili. Prihajalo je do izgredov, dogajali so se tudi politični incidenti. Največkrat so pri organizaciji odpovedale civilne oblasti na najnižjem nivoju, ki niso uspele privesti nabornikov na zbirno mesto. Nabori so bili zanimivi dogodki, ki so popestrili vsakdan lokalne skupnosti, ne glede na to, ali so naborniki ljudi zabavali ali pa so povzročali zgražanje
