A Speculative Poetics of Tammuz: Myth, Sentiment, and Modernism in Twentieth Century Arabic Poetry
Full text linkIn this paper, I attempt to read the poetic principle behind the Tammuzi movement of modern Arabic poetry through the lens of speculative poetics. While speculative-poetic accounts of modern poetry, such as those provided by Allen Grossman, blazed new paths connecting poetry to personhood in modernity, their application to the development of modern poetry outside of Europe remains limited by their self-avowed focus on European history. This paper will outline a critical corrective to speculative poetics which, I argue, can be of value in extending its domain of application to Arabic projects of poetic modernity, particularly the two tendencies of "free verse" and "commitment" poetry that emerged out of the Tammuzi movement
Ann Sharp’s concept of personhood and the spiritual dimension of the community of philosophical inquiry
No full textIn this paper, I critically explore Ann Sharp’s conception of personhood as it figures in the theory and practice of the community of philosophical inquiry (CPI). Through surveying Sharp’s rich and varied philosophical output, it will be shown how Sharp’s conception of personhood as a trilateral relationship (between self, other(s), and community) maps onto “the Three C’s” of critical, creative, and caring thinking that make up the practice of Philosophy for Children. After thus presenting Sharp’s conception of personhood, the paper brings into view an aspect of said conception which could benefit from further development. This potential shortfall in Sharp’s thought is identified as “the problem of closure”. In highlighting the problem of closure, I will indicate how Sharp marshals the concept of faith in her conception of CPI as a spiritual community, a relationship that is coincident with personhood itself, as it stands for the bond that ties together the individual (self and other(s)) and the collective (community) dimensions of CPI. I argue that faith serves, among other things, as an agent of closure between the individual and the collective in Sharp’s thought. In considering the function of faith in CPI, I will suggest an avenue of possible resolution to the problem of closure in Leonard Nelson’s conception of “the Socratic spirit” as the embodiment of “reason’s self-confidence”. Finally, the paper looks ahead to David Kennedy’s writings on the intentionality structure that governs the relationship between the individual and the collective in CPI as a resource that promises to offer a more rigorous and systematic treatment of the problem of closure.Neste artigo, exploro criticamente a concepção de pessoa de Ann Sharp, tal como figura na teoria e prática da comunidade de investigação filosófica (CIF). Através do levantamento da rica e variada produção filosófica de Sharp, será mostrado como a concepção de pessoa de Sharp enquanto uma relação trilateral (entre eu, outro(s), e comunidade) mapeia “os Três C's” do pensamento crítico, criativo e cuidadoso que compõem a prática da Filosofia para Crianças. Assim, depois de apresentar a concepção de pessoa de Sharp, o artigo traz à luz um aspecto da referida concepção que poderia se beneficiar de um maior desenvolvimento. Este potencial déficit no pensamento de Sharp é identificado como “o problema do encerramento”. Ao salientar o problema do encerramento, vou indicar como Sharp aborda o conceito de fé na sua concepção de CIF enquanto comunidade espiritual, uma relação que coincide com a própria pessoa, pois representa o vínculo que une as dimensões individual (eu e outro(s)) e colectiva (comunitária) da CIF. Defendo que a fé serve, entre outras coisas, como um agente de fechamento entre o indivíduo e o colectivo no pensamento de Sharp. Ao considerar a função da fé na CIF, sugiro uma via de possível resolução para o problema do encerramento na concepção do “espírito socrático”, de Leonard Nelson, como a encarnação da “autoconfiança da razão”. Por fim, o artigo olha para os escritos de David Kennedy sobre a estrutura de intencionalidade que rege a relação entre o indivíduo e o colectivo na CIF como um recurso que promete oferecer um tratamento mais rigoroso e sistemático do problema do encerramento.En este artículo exploro críticamente el concepto de persona de Ann Sharp, tal y como figura en la teoría y la práctica de la comunidad de investigación filosófica (CIF). A través de un repaso de la rica y variada producción filosófica de Sharp, se mostrará cómo la concepción de Sharp de la persona como relación trilateral (entre el yo, otro(s) y la comunidad) se corresponde con "las tres C" del pensamiento crítico, creativo y cuidadoso que conforman la práctica de la Filosofía para Niños. Luego de presentar así la concepción de persona de Sharp, el artículo pone de manifiesto un aspecto de dicha concepción que podría beneficiarse de un mayor desarrollo. Esta posible carencia en el pensamiento de Sharp se identifica como "el problema del cierre". Al destacar el problema del cierre, indicaré cómo Sharp acomoda el concepto de fe en su concepción de la CIF como una comunidad espiritual, una relación que coincide con el concepto de persona mismo, en la medida en que representa el vínculo que une las dimensiones individual (el yo y otro(s)) y colectiva (comunidad) de la CIF. Mi argumento es que la fe sirve, entre otras cosas, como agente de cierre entre lo individual y lo colectivo en el pensamiento de Sharp. Al considerar la función de la fe en la CIF, sugeriré una vía de posible resolución del problema del cierre en la concepción de Leonard Nelson del "espíritu socrático" como encarnación de la "propia confianza de la razón". Finalmente, el artículo se dirige hacia los escritos de David Kennedy sobre la estructura de intencionalidad que gobierna la relación entre el individuo y lo colectivo en la CIF como un recurso que promete ofrecer un tratamiento más riguroso y sistemático del problema del cierre
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
