How to Index Articles in Google Scholar?

When Google Scholar was launched in November 2004, it brought the simplicity that the Google search engine offers to the world of academia and revolutionized the way researchers and the public researched, found and consumed academic research.

Until then, academic databases were solely dependent on lists from hand-picked sources (which were normally scientific journals). As opposed to this, Google Scholar crawled the internet (using the automated means of indexing that Google’s algorithms are so well-known for) and indexed every document that had a seemingly academic structure to it.

This inclusive approach is what has given Google Scholar a potentially more comprehensive coverage of the scientific and academic literature compared to Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus, which are arguably the two most prominent multidisciplinary databases with selective, journal-based inclusion policies.

it should probably be noted that dorothy dandridge was dubbed in porgy and bess by adele addison and in carmen jones by marilyn horne, although she was an excellent singer and much has been said about the decision particularly in carmen jones to assemble a cast of established singers and dub most of them, including harry belafonte and diahann carroll (here's an interesting article about it https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=LitRC&u=googlescholar&id=GALE%7CA100808357&v=2.1&it=r&asid=4f33778e i'm not totally sure if that link will work so here's a pdf also https://web.archive.org/web/20170809053434id_/http://blackvistas.com/film/media/pdfs/carmen_dubbing.pdf)

Thank you so much for this article, Anon. Swooning over hot women aside, I am first and foremost here for the educational value, and I shall tuck into this article with gusto. Even more fun, the article was published in Velvet Light Trap, by the University of Texas Press, and your beloved tournament host also belongs to the wonderful world of academic publishing.

Her info shall be updated to reflect this information, and I shall ponder the implications another time.

Political Discussion and Political Interest

I chose to look at The Outlook on Life Survey (OOL) for my research project.  The variable that first caught my interest in this study was government and political interest.  I’m sure that there are many factors that contribute to an individual’s interest and degree of interest on this topic.  However, while I was scrolling through the other questions, I came across the variable of frequency of political discussion with family and friends, and wondered what impact, if any these two would have on each other.  This variable caught my attention because I recalled that there is much research suggesting that eating meals as a family is a strong predictor of a child’s academic success.  It got me wondering if interaction (discussion), such as ones you would encounter during family meals, would have a similar impact on a person’s interest in politics.  I decided I am most interested to see if the frequency of political discussion is related to an individual’s interest in politics. 

My hypothesis would be that there is a positive correlation between the two variables (more political discussion would relate to a higher level of political interest).  This was confirmed by my search on googlescholar.  I used search terms such as “civic talk and political interest” and “family discussion and political interest” to locate articles that I thought would align most with my hypothesis.  The breadth of research, including a few articles by Casey Klofstad, had a pattern of findings that indicated a positive correlation between the two variables.  Some research, such as the paper How feeling free to talk affects ordinary political conversation, purposeful argumentation, and civic participation, dove deeper into other variables such as the type of “civic talk” and feeling free to talk without being judged and how much those also affected political interest.  However, my research project is just looking to see if I can confirm the positive correlation between the two variables that the breadth of research indicates.

this genocide lie is tired as fuck: CHRISTOPHER JON BJERKNES’ “THE JEWISH GENOCIDE OF ARMENIAN CHRISTIANS”.

the funniest part of this was seeing the one and only comment responding to it be “ugh this is so antisemitic don’t you know it’s ISRAEL committing genocide not the jews?”

8. Affect, emotion, Kratos

God of War (2018) is a video game made by Santa Monica Studio(Sony Interactive Entertainment) and it is the eighth installment in the God of War series. Kratos is still the protagonist in this installment, but different from killing every Greek god in all the previous sequels, this time he becomes the father and a man who buried all his past and seeks peace. “The public of video games has witnessed the evolution of this medium and has seen how the content of the games that occupied the shelves of the stores was increasingly gaining in quality and narrative complexity.”(Pablo Medina, Kratos, Mythical Father. 2020) As a player who has had this sequel company since I was a little boy, I feel something when controlling the father Kratos, we grew up together. To me, playing video games is not all about defeating your virtual enemy anymore, it is about mapping myself to the character and feeling the aesthetic affect of the game.

This is the part I think can represent all the affect and emotions of this installment, in this part, Kratos had no choice but to retrieve the weapon that represents his cruel past, you can tell his hands are shaking, and the movement is hesitant. This is one of the biggest emotional moments in video game history, an old man retrieves his past to save his son. If the player has never played any other God of War sequels before and their reaction will just be “Oh, dual blade”, but the player who knows the past of Kratos “(Crying, can’t say a single word) “When we talk about reaching the heart of the audience, we do not mean just selling tickets. This is the logical consequence of the impact and thrill caused by art.” (Pablo Medina, 2020) As stories started to pile up, games are more than games than ever, it’s about the “true story” that happened in the virtual world that company us for decades, and maybe more.

Artist Research: Hannah Wilke

"Wilke used the various mediums of photography, performance, sculpture, and video to examine and challenge prevailing notions of femininity, feminism, and sexuality. She was one of the first artists to use vaginal imagery in her work with the purpose of directly engaging with feminist issues. During the late 1950s through the early 1970s, Wilke worked on creating a type of female iconography based on the body, constructing abstract, organic forms that closely resembled female genitalia. She displayed these forms on the floor or wall in a highly organized and repetitious manner that recalled Minimalism. During the 1970s, she began to use her own body for performance pieces that she called her "performalist self-portraits." These performances, immortalized on video or in photographs, confront erotic stereotypes by calling attention to and making ironic the conventional gestures, poses, and attributes of the female body."

https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/artist/hannah-wilke

"Wilke first performed S.O.S.—Starification Object Series for the public in 1975. Visitors were given colored gum, which they were asked to chew and then return to the artist, who, topless, stretched and folded the pliable wads into small, labia-shaped sculptures and stuck them to her skin. These handwrought anatomical forms have been read as both sensual fetishes and unsightly scars emblematic of the power, and also the stigma, of the female sex. Interested in how these transitory actions could outlive the moment, Wilke posed for photographs for the S.O.S. series, making what she called “performalist self-portraits.”"

https://www.moma.org/collection/works/102432

"'Who has the guts to deal with cunts?' asked sculptor Hannah Wilke in 1973"

"Wilke wanted to shock a complacent society that she perceived was ruled by prejudice and fear and transform its negative attitudes towards sexuality, particularly women's sexuality"

"They related female body imagery to concerns that were debated within the contemporary Women's Liberation Movement: the representation of women's bodies, the nature of feminine sexuality, and the existence of a universal feminine sensibility. There is a trajectory in these critical perspectives that parallels a move in radical feminist concerns from forthright exploration of women's sexuality, including lesbianism, to theorization of an inherent and unified feminine sensibility that assumes heterosexuality." :(

Curators perspective on Homage to a Large Red Lipstick, as fallen into disrepair during museum storage:

"A “cure” for Wilke’s Homage to a Large Red Lipstick , given the extent of its deterioration, seems highly unlikely. In the meantime, it sits in the basement, visible to no one, gathering proverbial dust, while— to add insult to injury— Oldenburg’s works, of which the museum owns more than sixty, are regularly exhibited and used in teaching. Dissatisfied with leaving Homage in obscurity after I had seen it for myself, I wondered whether Wilke’s practice might have allowed for entropy, change, decay, and even death in the case of her sculptural works— whether, in other words, some aspect of her work might justify exhibiting Homage as it is. Wilke, who died from lymphoma in 1993, cannot be consulted, as standard curatorial practice today would demand, nor do we have evidence that she considered this particular proposition while she was still alive."

"Wilke created each petal for her sculptures by using a cup to pour a thin layer of tinted liquid latex, which she likened to “pancake batter,” onto a custom-made seventeen-foot plaster of Paris board on the floor of her studio."

Hölling, H. B. (Ed.). (2022). Object--event-- performance : Art, materiality, and continuity since the 1960s. Bard Graduate Center, Exhibitions Department. https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/qut/reader.action?docID=7207363&ppg=99

REFLECTION- could a work be made in collaboration with actual pancake batter? a photographic/portraiture series perhaps? Or other food items, icing, bread, mouldy food, lollies? Back to my earlier work references women as consumerist objects, pig meat, etc.

Wilkes latex work reminds me of folded crepes. Perhaps red, mouldy crepes folded in various bodily forms would be interesting?

Blog 08: Sense-Making of Nature Interpretation

Hey everyone, and welcome back for another blog post. In today’s prompt we are discussing the most amazing things we know about nature. For me, what comes to mind first would be the magnificent northern lights. Though I have never had the chance to see them in person, I can tell how breathtaking they would be just from pictures, videos, and descriptions. 

The northern lights are scientifically known as aurora borealis, meaning the light of dawn. They can be seen from the northern hemisphere in regions such as Canada, Alaska, Russia, Norway, and Sweden since these places cover the auroral oval (Waldek & Dobrijevic, 2022). However, since auroral activity is not always consistent, the oval can shift. An aurora refers to a natural light display projected in the sky (National Geographic, 2023). They can appear when charged solar wind particles from the sun approach the Earth as solar wind. These particles are able to interact with the Earth’s magnetic field (National Geographic, 2023). Most of this solar wind gets blocked by the magnetosphere, but some ions do get trapped. The area where ions are trapped in the atmosphere is called the ionosphere. Within the ionosphere, nitrogen and oxygen atoms from the Earth’s atmosphere collide (National Geographic, 2023). The energy from this collision creates the fascinating glowing lights we see as the northern lights. The colours of an aurora are influenced by altitude, as well as the atoms that are involved (National Geographic, 2023). oxygen atoms tend to produce a red colour, however this is rare as it happens only when the ions are striked high in the atmosphere. Commonly, oxygen produces green/yellow auroras. When hydrogen and helium atoms are striked, blue and purple hues can be seen (National Geographic, 2023). 

Auroras have a deep meaning in several cultures as well. In Iceland, it is thought that looking at the northern lights directly would cause your child to become cross-eyed (Berg, 2023). In Finland, the Sami Indigenous people believe that the lights must be respected (Berg, 2023). In their culture, the auroras are considered to be living beings, and that misfortune would come upon you if you were to disrespect them (Berg, 2023). As I have mentioned before in Blog 7, music is also an important part of the Sami Indigenous culture as they communicate through song, by singing yoiks (Gray et al., 2001). 

The northern lights are just one of nature’s several wonders. As interpreters, it is necessary for us to appreciate and understand the elements of nature in order to share our findings with our audiences (Beck et al., 2018). By surrounding ourselves in nature’s beauty, we can build a profound connection to it. As I continue to grow as an interpreter, I hope to both inspire and inform others about culture & nature (Beck et al., 2018).
