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
Abraham J. Heschel e a mística do pathos divino
No full textThe category of divine pathos had got its strongest expression in Abraham J. Heschel. The prophet has no ideas and concepts about God, the prophet is one who undergoes a transitive action of God. It is not a fusion with God, it is about being affected by the pathos of God. For Heschel the mystical experience is an ecstasy of human being; revelation is an ecstasy of God. It is not God that is an experience of human being; human being is an experience of God. It derives from this not proper an unitive mystic, but a sympathetic mystic, which translates as a human response to the pains of God in the pains of the world. What the prophets testify is not the essence of the divine, but his pathos, his concern with human misery. The divine pathos is like a bridge thrown over the abyss that separates the human being from God.A categoria do pathos divino ganhou em Abraham Heschel sua expressão mais forte. O profeta não tem ideias e conceitos sobre Deus, o profeta é aquele que sofre uma ação transitiva de Deus. Não se trata de uma fusão com Deus, trata-se de ser afetado pelo pathos de Deus. Para Heschel a experiência mística é um êxtase do ser humano; a revelação é um êxtase de Deus. Não é Deus que é uma experiência do ser humano; o ser humano é que é uma experiência de Deus. Deriva daí não uma mística unitiva propriamente, mas uma mística simpatetica, que se traduz como resposta humana às dores de Deus nas dores do mundo. O que testemunham os profetas não é a essência do divino, mas seu pathos, sua concernência com a miséria humana. O pathos divino é como uma ponte lançada sobre o abismo que separa o ser humano de Deus
Entre espinhos e estrelas: Teologia da libertação e da esperança em Rubem Alves
Full text linkConhecido como o artífice protestante da Teologia da Libertação, pouca atenção tem sido dada ao forte acento que a Teologia da Esperança recebeu nos escritos teológicos de Rubem Alves. Minha hipótese é que Rubem Alves se inscreve também no campo da chamada Teologia da Esperança, que tem em Jürgen Moltmann seu autor mais conhecido. Encontramos em Rubem tanto uma teologia da libertação, quanto uma Teologia da Esperança. Uma só pode ser pensada em correlação com a outra
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
