Środowisko kapłanów Amona w Tebach w Okresie Późnym i wczesnoptolemejskim. Studium prozopograficzne.
No full textStreszczenie Pracy
Praca skupia się na rodzinach kapłanów, którzy złączyli swoje życie ze świątynią Amona w Karnaku pomiędzy końcem Egiptu faraońskiego (30 dynastia) a początkiem okresu ptolemejskiego. Celem pracy było odtworzenie wzajemnych relacji rodzinnych w efekcie czego powstały wielopokoleniowe drzewa genealogiczne. Ten temat nie był do tej pory rozważany w szerszym kontekście. Do chwili obecnej uczeni skupieni byli na pojedynczych kapłanach niż na ich rodzinach, co powodował że nie nie było możliwe poznanie pełnego kontekstu funkcjonowania opisywanych osób. Rekonstrukcja relacji rodzinnych na bazie dostępnych przekazów historycznych (np. sarkofagi, stele, papirusy) oraz analiza ich obowiązków w świątyni sprawiło możliwym zebranie wszystkich dostępnych tytułów kapłańskich oraz administracyjnych. To również sprawia że możliwe było określenie, które z tytułów kapłańskich były popularne w konkretnych rodzinach.
Ważnym elementem pracy była rekonstrukcja kontaktów kapłanów ze sferą administracyjną świątyni, szczególnie funkcją skryby jako kluczowego dla działalności świątyni. Pozwoliło to zbudować model zależność pomiędzy poszczególnymi urzędami w omawianym okresie, co do tej pory nie było w sferze zainteresowań badawczych. Dzięki temu możemy zobaczyć jaki status mieli poszczególni kapłani.
Dzięki tym badaniom możliwe było odtworzenie tradycji rodzinnych polegających na przekazywaniu swoich funkcji swoim potomkom by utrzymać swoje wpływy na terenie temenosu Amona w Karnaku na przełomie 30 dynastii oraz wczesnego okresu ptolemejskiego.
Summary of Dissertation
The work focuses on the families of priests who have connected their lives to the temple of Amun in Karnak between the decline of Pharaonic Period (30th dynasty) and the beginning of the Ptolemaic Period. The purpose of the work was, inter alia, to recreate their mutual family relationships, resulting in multigenerational family trees. This issue has not yet been addressed on a larger scale in this context. Until now, scholars have focused on individual priests rather than on their entire families, which meant that the full context of the discussed figures was not visible. The reconstruction of family relations based on available historical accounts (e.g. sarcophagi, stele, papyri) and the analysis of their duties in the temple made it possible to collect all their priesthood and administrative titles. Therefore, it was also possible to indicate which priesthood titles were most popular in specific priesthood families.
An important element of the work was also the reconstruction of contacts of these priests with the sphere of temple administration, especially the function of the scribe as the key aspects of the temple. It helped to build a model of dependencies between individual administrative offices, which until now was not the subject of interest of the researchers of this period. It causes that we can finally see how the individual priests were placed on the ladder of dependence in the temple administration.
Thanks to all these research, it was possible to recreate the family traditions of priests relying on the transfer of key functions to their children and relatives in order to gain more influence in the priests' milieu at the temenos of Amun at Karnak at the turn of the 30th Dynasty and the early Ptolemaic Period
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
Mark Antony and the date of the Inimitables. A remark on an edited text
No full textA Greek inscription on stone found in Alexandria in the nine- teenth century and exhibited in the Alexandrian Greco-Roman Museum contains an unusual dedicatory text in honour of Mark Antony. The text was edited several times. It contains useful information which agrees with the passage of Plutarch on the lifestyle of Antony and Cleopatra, and their entourage. In this paper the author suggests the date 34–30 bc for the activity of the ‘Inimitables’ and adds a further commentary on the history of Antony and Cleopatra

No full textVariations 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
Uwagi o Owidiuszu i złotym wieku Augusta
Full text linkPublius Ovidius Naso was an outstanding poet of the Augustan age who after a period of successful activity was suddenly sent to exile without a formal judicial procedure. Ovid wrote frivolous poems but inserted into his works also the obligatory praises of Augustus. The standard explanation of his relegation to Tomis is the licentious content of his Ars Amatoria, which were believed to offend the moral principles of Augustus. However, the Ars had been published several years before the exile. The poet himself in his Pontic writings mentions an unspecified error and a carmen, pointing also to the Ars, without, however, a clear explanation of the reason for his fall. The writer of the present contribution assumes that the actual reason for the relegation of the poet without a trial were the verses of his Metamorphoses and especially the passage about the wicked stepmothers preparing poison. That could offend Livia who, according to gossip, used poison to get rid of unwanted family members. Ovid was exiled, but the matter was too delicate for a public justification of the banishment. When writing ex Ponto the poet could not explicitly refer to the actual cause of his exile.Publius Ovidius Naso was an outstanding poet of the Augustan age who after a period of successful activity was suddenly sent to exile without a formal judicial procedure.

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
