Claudio Claudiano, Carmina Selecta. Introduzione, testo, traduzione e commento di Alessia Prontera
No full textThis monograph offers the text, Italian translation, and commentary on a selection of Claudian’s Carmina Minora together with the so-called Appendix Claudianea. Its focus is the poet’s epigrammatic production on secular themes, leaving aside both the major authentic works (Laus Serenae, Epistula ad Serenam, Epithalamium Palladio et Celerinae, Gigantomachia) and those transmitted under his name (Laus Herculis, Epithalamium Laurenti). The study likewise does not consider the Christian poems (De Salvatore, Miracula Christi, and Laus Christi)
Sulle tracce della fortuna dei Carmina di Ennodio tra Tardoantico e Medioevo
No full textKnowledge of the poems of Magnus Felix Ennodius in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages is a field of research that has not yet been explored. The essay provides some food for thought on the possible fortune of the Late Antique author starting from Columbanus up to Radulfus Tortarius, identifying in the greatest medieval poets (Aldhelm, Paul the Deacon, Sedulius Scotus) expressions, verbal sequences and original clauses of the poet of Ticinum. The last section is dedicated to the epigraphic field and above all to the Fortleben of notable iuncturae minted by Ennodius in some inscriptions of the 8th-9th century
Pagan and Christian guttura: an intertextual study between Prudentius and the Laus Herculis
No full textThe challenge of dating an anonymous or spurious work is often addressed through intertextual comparison with texts of established chronology. This is the case of the Laus Herculis (Anth. 494b), an unfinished Latin hexameter encomium of the Greek hero and three of his nine labors. The attribution to the poet Claudian has been largely rejected by modern scholarship. This study offers a comparison between the episode of the slaying of the Nemean lion and two passages from Prudentius: the parable of the Good Shepherd (Cath. 8.33-37) and the duel between Virtus and Avaritia (Psych. 589-591). The analysis suggests that the author may have been a Christian writing in the late fifth century
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
Defensa, deprensa o depressa? Una crux tra Ausonio, Claudiano e Aratore (passando per Seneca)
Full text linkStarting from the description of the sturgeon in Auson. Mos. 135-139, the article studies the tradition of the variants deprensa and defensa contained in two passages of Ausonius, reconstructing the previous poetic models (Vergil and Seneca) and the traces of the subsequent fortune that passes through the metaphor of the whale in Claudian (Eutr. 2, 430-431) and the ark of Noah in Arator (apost. 2, 682-684)
