    Głośne pióra. Związki literatury pokolenia “brulionu” z muzyką popularną

    No full text
    One of the typical phenomena of the latest Polish literature (created after 1989) is its musicality. Inclusion of references to performers, specific songs or musical aesthetics in the semantic layer is not only an example of intertextual reference, but an expression of broadly understood intermediality. Music becomes an essential point of reference for new generations of artists, which is audible in the narrative layer of this literature. If one were to look for the beginnings of ‘sound’ in literature, one should look to the generations of ‘martial law’ or ‘bruLion’ when, alongside politics (Solidarity) and religion (the Church), alternative music, with its Jarocin Festival, has become a powerful ideological narrative, expressing rebellion against applicable norms. In this way, it entered the literary salons, displacing traditional understanding of the correspondence of the arts, relating to the relationship between literature and classical music. Currently, it is popular music which is the main carrier of intermedial meanings in literary texts

    „Opera mleczana”: Między teatralnym komiksem a musicalem

    No full text
    This article offers an analysis of the performance Opera mleczana (Milk Opera), directed by Mikołaj Grabowski, which premiered on 9 March 2003 at Narodowy Stary Teatr im. Heleny Modrzejewskiej (Helena Modrzejewska National Old Theatre) in Kraków. Its libretto and music by Stanisław Radwan were based on satirical drawings by Andrzej Mleczko. Using the theory of intermediality, the author interprets not only the content of the performance, but also the various forms and means of expression it employs, borrowed from opera, musical, film, soap opera, and comic strips. It is argued that the show’s hybridity contributed to its popularity, as it made it easier for the actors to connect with a multigenerational audience

    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

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Teoria pod wpływem… Wpływ dopaminy na dyskurs literaturoznawczy

    Full text link
    W ostatnich dekadach teoria afektu stała się niezwykle przydatnym narzędziem do badania funkcjonowania i oddziaływania literatury. Wspierana somatopoetyką oraz najnowszymi tendencjami „nowej humanistyki” szukającymi zbliżenia z twardymi kierunkami nauki tj. biologią czy chemią, jest ciekawym tropem w badaniu relacji między afektywnością a teorią literatury. Artykuł rozważa tezę o wpływie procesów biochemicznych działających w mózgu na powstawanie w ostatnim czasie licznych propozycji metodologicznych w badaniu teorii. Przenosi koncepcję „przyjemności tekstu” Rolanda Barthesa na grunt teoretyczny, by wykazać afektywne źródła tworzonych kierunków interpretacyjnych. Autor zderza koncepcję Barthesa z odkryciami na temat procesów biochemicznych zachodzących w mózgu pod wpływem dopaminy. Ten neuroprzekaźnik jest odpowiedzialny między innymi za wywołanie stanu satysfakcji i przyjemności. Stany te są efektem dawkowania dopaminy, która uwalnia się tym częściej, im silniej oddziałują na nas bodźce nowości. W efekcie proces lektury jako odkrywania znaczeń może wywołać stany przypominające narkotykowe upojenie. Uzależnienie od dopaminy prowadzi do konieczności używania coraz to silniejszych bodźców, mogłoby zatem tłumaczyć wciąż pojawiające się w obiegu teorii nowe koncepcje literaturoznawcze, szukające daleko poza humanistyką nowego języka opisu i interpretacji.
