Romances judeoespañoles de Gibraltar
Get PDFThe fifteen ballads in this article present a special interest: their geographical origin. They were all collected from a Sephardic informant from Gibraltar, and therefore constitute a unique testimony of this tradition. Even though these texts offer a sample of Morocco's most widely known ballads, two of them are a rare find (n° 7 and 10). It would be premature to draw any general conclusions as to the characteristics of the Sephardic ballads from Gibraltar. However, we may underline some distinctive features of this collection: a tendency for shorter versions, even in the most common and well-known ballads; strong links and similarities with both the Moroccan and Andalusian traditions; and rare cases of dialectal Judeo-Spanish pronunciation.Los quince romances aquí incluidos y comentados presentan un rasgo interesante: su origen. Procedentes de una informante sefardí de Gibraltar, constituyen un testimonio único de esta tradición. Aunque los textos son generalmente representativos de la tradición sefardí de Marruecos, dos de ellos son rarísimos (núms. 7 y 10). Esta muestra única no nos permite sacar conclusiones generales sobre la tradición gibraltareña. Sin embargo, se notan ciertos rasgos distintivos: tendencia a la brevedad y a las versiones truncas, incluso en los textos más difundidos, claras influencias de las tradiciones andaluza y marroquí y escasez de pronunciación dialectal sefardí
The Portrayal of Muslims and Christians in the Traditional Sephardic Tales of Northern Morocco

The article analyzes the representation of Muslims and Christians in the folktales of the Sephardic Jews of northern Morocco. The stories are selected from the collection of Arcadio de Larrea Palacín, Cuentos populares de los judíos del norte de Marruecos, published in 1952 and 1953. A very brief historical background of Moroccan Jews will be given in order to better understand the perception that the Jews, as a minority group, had of their Muslim and Christian neighbours. This perception is based on the historical and emotional memory of the Jews as well as their daily coexistence with the other religious groups. We also examine how the tales fulfill an essential function of folklore, which is to preserve and reinforce the collective identity and moral values of the narrating group.
Obraz muzułmanów i chrześcijan w tradycyjnych opowieściach sefardyjskich północnego Maroka
W artykule poddano analizie sposób przedstawienia muzułmanów i chrześcijan w opowieściach Żydów sefardyjskich z północnego Maroka. Opowieści zostały wybrane ze zbioru Cuentos populares de los judíos del norte de Marruecos, opracowanego przez Arcadia de Larrea Palacína i opublikowanego w dwóch tomach w 1952 i 1953 r. W celu lepszego zrozumienia sposobu postrzegania chrześcijan i ich muzułmańskich współobywateli konieczne było zwięzłe omówienie tła historycznego dotyczącego Żydów marokańskich. Postrzeganie to oparte było zarówno na historycznej i emocjonalnej pamięci Żydów, jak i na analizie ich faktycznego współistnienia z innymi grupami religijnymi. W tekście badano również, w jaki sposób opowieści spełniają fundamentalne dla folkloru funkcje, to jest zachowanie i wzmocnienie tożsamości zbiorowej oraz wartości moralnych wypowiadającej się grupy
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
