Expressions of feminism in the works of women directed by Greek women (1992-2018)
No full textThis doctoral thesis aims to enrich and broaden the dialogue about the female presence in contemporary Greek theater by means of primary archival research, historiographical mapping out and focused dramatic analysis of works by women that were staged by contemporary female directors over the past three decades in Greece. Through archival research, the thesis contributes a history of female direction in Greek theater from the late 19th century to the end of the 20th century; a recorded history, enriched with new directorial female figures, that was lacking in the relevant literature up to now. Furthermore, primary research on texts by women writers put on stage by women directors since 1974, a landmark of contemporary Greek history, yields both quantitative and qualitative data that lead to the revision of earlier positions regarding the putative absence of "women's" theater in Greece. The catalogued results of the primary research document plays staged in Greek theater from 1974 to 2018, during which period women play a central creative role in both directing and writing with an increasing trend from 1992 into the early 21st century. The performed plays are examined both diachronically and in terms of content, in the light of briefly outlined trends in feminist criticism and theory, so as to discern the treatment of women and femininity in them. Intertextuality emerged as a cohesive trope of the recorded dramaturgical material by Greek women dramatists re-writing the “feminine” and directed by women (1992-2018). The intertextual content of the plays is further categorised on the basis of their focus on biographies, ancient myths, foreign dramaturgy and literature, and fairy tales. The exploration of "female" experience and the representation of the “feminine” in contemporary Greek theatre writing under the lens of feminist theories is meant in strategic rather than essentialist terms of conceptualising gender and sexual difference. The present dramatic analysis has shown that contemporary Greek women's dramaturgy recognizes femininities as displaced bodies within the phallocentric social space, it struggles to overturn established models of patriarchal subjugation, demands visibility for excluded bodies in official History and renews theatrical writing through a language that is embodied, non-linear, fluid and poetic, which is often associated with ‘ecriture feminine’ of the second wave of feminist thought. In all, the present thesis aims to make an original contribution to theatre research in a number of ways: it maps out and highlights women’s presence in directing in Greece and contributes to theatre historiography not only through extensive archival research across time but also, through dramaturgical analyses of women’s plays that have been recently staged, it identifies new trends and theoretical concerns regarding women’s writing and inscriptions of the “feminine” in Greek theater that have not been sufficiently researched until now.Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή έχει ως στόχο να εμπλουτίσει και να διευρύνει την χαρτογράφηση και τον επιστημονικό διάλογο γύρω από τη γυναικεία παρουσία στο σύγχρονο ελληνικό θέατρο βάσει της ιστοριογραφικής καταγραφής σκηνοθέτιδων από τον 19ο αιώνα, της πρωτογενούς αρχειακής έρευνας παραστάσεων από την μεταπολίτευση, και εστιασμένης δραματουργικής ανάλυσης έργων γυναικών που παραστάθηκαν από σύγχρονες σκηνοθέτιδες στην Ελλάδα κατά τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες. Μέσω της αρχειακής έρευνας πραγματοποιείται αναδρομή στην ιστορία της γυναικείας σκηνοθεσίας στο ελληνικό θέατρο από τα τέλη του 19ου αιώνα έως τα τέλη του 20ου αιώνα, η οποία απουσιάζει από την δημοσιευμένη βιβλιογραφία, την οποία επίσης ενημερώνει με την προσθήκη νέων προσώπων. Επιπλέον, από την πρωτογενή έρευνα προκύπτουν ποσοτικά και ποιοτικά δεδομένα που οδηγούν σε αναθεώρηση παλαιότερων τοποθετήσεων γύρω από την απουσία “γυναικείου” θεάτρου στην Ελλάδα. Τα αποτελέσματα της πρωτογενούς έρευνας καταγράφουν και κατηγοριοποιούν τα έργα που παραστάθηκαν στο ελληνικό θέατρο από το 1974 έως το 2018, στα οποία πρωταγωνιστεί η γυναίκα δημιουργικά τόσο στην σκηνοθεσία όσο και στη συγγραφή. Μέσω της πρωτογενούς έρευνας τεκμηριώνεται η αυξανόμενη παρουσία των γυναικών στο ελληνικό θέατρο από τα τέλη του 20ου έως τις πρώτες δεκαετίες του 21ου αιώνα. Παράλληλα, επισημαίνονται σημαντικές παράμετροι, οι οποίοι αφορούν τη γυναικεία θεατρική (συγγραφική και σκηνοθετική) δραστηριοποίηση, οι οποίοι σχετίζονται με τον άξονα του χρόνου, αλλά και το περιεχόμενο της συγγραφικής παραγωγής και της σκηνοθετικής επιλογής γυναικών δημιουργών. Με γνώμονα τις διεθνείς τάσεις στη φεμινιστική θεωρία και κριτική, οι οποίες διαγράφονται συνοπτικά, μελετάται το πρωτογενές δραματουργικό υλικό γυναικών που έχει παρασταθεί, στο οποίο αναδεικνύεται η διακειμενικότητα ως κύριο και συνεκτικό χαρακτηριστικό πλήθους των καταγεγραμμένων θεατρικών έργων. Με κριτήριο τη διακειμενικότητα εντοπίστηκαν τέσσερις κυρίαρχοι τρόποι επανεγγραφής του “γυναικείου” στα θεατρικά έργα Ελληνίδων δραματουργών (1992-2018) που επέλεξαν να σκηνοθετήσουν γυναίκες: βιογραφίες, αρχαιόμυθα, ξένη δραματουργία και λογοτεχνία, παραμύθια. Με άξονες αυτές τις κατηγορίες εγγραφής της γυναικείας εμπειρίας, αναλύονται δραματουργικά (35) έργα με στόχο να διερευνηθεί η αντίληψη του “γυναικείου”, με την στρατηγική και όχι την ουσιοκρατική χρήση της έννοιας, στη σύγχρονη ελληνική θεατρική γραφή υπό το πρίσμα των σύγχρονων φεμινιστικών θεωριών. Όπως αποδεικνύεται μέσω της δραματουργικής ανάλυσης, η δραματουργία γυναικών στην σύγχρονη Ελλάδα αναγνωρίζει τις θηλυκότητες ως εκτοπισμένα σώματα εντός του φαλλοκρατικού κοινωνικού χώρου, αγωνίζεται να ανατρέψει εγκαθιδρυμένα μοντέλα πατριαρχικής καθυπόταξης, διεκδικεί ορατότητα για τα αποκλεισμένα σώματα από την παράδοση και την επίσημη Ιστορία, ενώ ανανεώνει τη θεατρική γραφή μέσω του σωματοποιημένου, μη γραμμικού, ρευστού και ποιητικού λόγου, που μπορεί να συνδεθεί με τα γνωρίσματα της αποκαλούμενης “γυναικείας γραφής”, την οποία θεματοποίησε το δεύτερο κύμα του φεμινιστικού κινήματος στον εικοστό αιώνα. Η διατριβή, επομένως, φιλοδοξεί να αποτελέσει μια πρωτότυπη συνεισφορά στην ελληνική θεατρική έρευνα, καθώς αναδεικνύει την γυναικεία παρουσία στην σκηνοθεσία στην Ελλάδα και συνεισφέρει, όχι μόνον στην θεατρική ιστοριογραφία μέσω εκτεταμένης αρχειακής έρευνας, αλλά επίσης, μέσω των δραματουργικών αναλύσεων των έργων γυναικών συγγραφέων που παραστάθηκαν, εντοπίζει νέες τάσεις και θεωρητικούς προβληματισμούς γύρω από το “γυναικείο” και τις εγγραφές της θηλυκότητας στο σύγχρονο ελληνικό θέατρο και την θεατρική γραφή, που δεν είχαν έως τώρα ερευνηθεί επαρκώς
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
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
