    The Anagram as a Quasi-genre — the Case of Ian Hamilton Finlay

    The subject of the text is a very special case of the functioning of an anagram in literature, when it becomes a quasi-literary genre. The author presents, in many different examples, the traditional approach to the anagram as a stylistic figure, indicating its various uses in culture and also in everyday life. He also discusses an anagram in terms of Ferdinand de Saussure, who studied phonetic anagrams, e.g. in Homer or in the Vedic texts. Referring to the works of the Scottish poet Ian Hamilton Finley, Adam Dziadek discusses anagram as a quasi-literary genre. The anagram itself is a thematic phenomenon in Finley’s work and described in various ways in metatextual statements. In this quasi-genre, the classical patterns of anagrams are combined with phonetic anagrams, what counts here is the semantic sphere of the work, but equally important is the sphere of sound, the sound focalization, which expands semantic fields and surprisingly associates or binds distant words. Finley defines anagrams in many different ways. On the one hand, when defining them, he refers to letter transpositions, combinations, pivots, compositions, but some of his definitions form poetic sentences. Anagram becomes a practice of thinking, writing, and arranging poetic texts, and at the same time designs its own reception, which also includes sound focalization. Finley’s anagrams are short poetic poems, the composition is based on transpositions and letter combinations. Single anagrams are arranged in a series of poems

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    The Future of Croatian Studies Abroad

    No full text
    The traditional humanities have lost their position in the modern soci- ety because the value of symbolic capital of literature and culture has decreased. The contemporary position of the humanities is the result, on the one hand, of the deconstruction of the grand narratives, objec- tive truth, universal knowledge, and the common interpretation of the world in the spirit of constructivism, perspectivism, narrativism, and on the other hand, the result of the development of neoliberal society. The change is occurring in literary studies as well. Ethics and moral criteria are replaced by ideological and political ones. One of the possible ways of the development of Croatian Studies Abroad is comparative-transla- tion studies, studies about Polish-Croatian literary and cultural contacts conducted in the wider historical/social/political context, hence a com- parative study in different discourses with the literary discourse as the most important one.Uniwersytet Śląski w KatowicachBakuła, Bogusław. 2013. »Narodowa czy rodzima?

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    Get PDF
    We 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

    Get PDF
    We 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

    This text presents a very special creative process, which is an absolute exception in world literature. It is about the formation of My Century by Aleksander Wat and about various types of errors that were revealed during the preparation of the new edition of this work. The errors that appear in previous editions of My Century are of a varied nature. These are primarily “memory errors” of the author himself, there are also errors resulting from faulty listening to the recordings or technical faults in several recordings, and finally errors that are difficult to classify and explain, and which may be associated with exceptional difficulties with establishing the facts.This text presents a very special creative process, which is an absolute exception in world literature.
