Polowanie jako spektakl i metafora: rola scen myśliwskich w filmach fabularnych
Full text linkThe author discusses hunting scenes in film representing a variety of genres not for their iconography, but rather for their metaphorical impact. Filmmakers use hunting as a metaphor to speak about completely different issues. They explore political topics, expose their ideological and ethical aspects, focus on instances of customary behaviour. Alicja Helman points out the link between hunting and death. According to her, people who are capable to kill animals are also capable to kill people – not only at war, but for other reasons as well. The article focuses mainly on the works which became models for later films belonging to the traditions of ethno-fiction, western, horror, and psychological drama
Pokoleniowy dystans
No full textAlicja Helman pisze o książce Rafała Syski Zachować dystans. Filmowy świat Roberta Altmana (2008), będącej jednocześnie rozprawą habilitacyjną autora. Helman zaznacza, że szeroko prowadzone badania Syski nad kinem amerykańskim i nad monografistyką, a także jego doświadczenie jako redaktora kilku serii tomów zbiorowych stanowiły solidne przygotowanie tak cennej monografii. Aby opisać reżysera tak trudnego i nie poddającego się klasyfikacjom, Syska starał się (i uczynił to z powodzeniem) połączyć kilka różnych zadań i podejść metodologicznych, by uzyskać całość tak kompletną i wyczerpującą, jak to tylko możliwe. Helman koncentruje się na strukturze książki Syski, przybliżając tym samym jego metodę jako monografisty

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
Ballada o adaptacji — gdzie kryje się sens kolejnej pieśni o Narayamie?
No full textThe main purpose of this article is to analyze the text of Shichiro Fukazawa’s The Ballad of Narayama, its two Japanese film adaptations by Keisuke Kinoshita and Shohei Imamura, and to explain the idea behind another attempt by cinema and cinema audiences to assimilate the story into the changing film discourse. Referring both to classical and postmodern theories of adaptation of literature represented in the works of Alicja Helman and Marek Hendrykowski, and to current film studies strategies, the author deconstructs the movies, describes the differences in adaptation processes, and looks for their causes, using historical and anthropological contexts. The results of the analysis are contrasted with the reception of the films by Polish critics who attempted to interpret Imamura’s film by emphasizing its animal motifs and often juxtaposed it with the highly theatrical manner of the earlier work by Kinoshita.The main purpose of this article is to analyze the text of Shichiro Fukazawa’s The Ballad of Narayama, its two Japanese film adaptations by Keisuke Kinoshita and Shohei Imamura, and to explain the idea behind another attempt by cinema and cinema audiences to assimilate the story into the changing film discourse.
