Syncope and Fractal Liminality: Theo Angelopoulos' Voyage to Cythera and the Question of Borders
No full textTo the Ancient Greek heroes, fate was rarely less than tragic—cruel mistresses spinning and cutting the thread of life at their own leisure. To the Modern Greek hero, destiny and providence must appear as equally unkind, yet perhaps also suffused with a touch of cosmic irony. On Tuesday, 24 January 2012 the acclaimed Greek film director Theo Angelopoulos, winner of countless prestigious awards, including the coveted Palme d’Or at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, died of his injuries after being accidentally hit by a motorcycle near the Greek port of Piraeus. At the time, Angelopoulos was shooting The Other Sea, which he intended to become the last installment of his latest film trilogy, on the trials and tribulations of modern Greece. Like Alexander (Bruno Ganz) in Eternity and a Day, the sudden arrival of the Angel of Death left him with an unfinished document, “words scattered here and there”, “before the Winter was over”, “with the ethereal silhouettes of the ships outlined against a sudden break in the clouds”. For the director whose filmic work had so often been given a new lease of life by the inspirational force of unexpected embodied encounters, such as those with the Italian screenwriter Tonino Guerra and the Greek composer Eleni Karaïndrou, it was an unforeseen embodied encounter that also presided over his death. And to add insult to injury, it was in the midst of another filmic attempt at bringing closure to a personal and collective history, that the Greek master of incomplete, unfinished journeys remained forever barred from finding a narrative resolution
The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos
No full textThe Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos is the first critical assessment of one of the leading figures of modernist European art cinema. Assessing his complete works, this groundbreaking collection brings together a team of internationally regarded experts and emerging scholars from multiple disciplines, to provide a definitive account of Angelopoulos’ formal reactions to the historical events that determined life during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Refusing to restrict its approach to the confines of the Greek national film industry, the book approaches his work as representative of modernism more generally, and in particular of the modernist imperative to document its allusive historical objects through artistic innovation

Distribution of lagoons along the Arctic coast from the Taimyr Peninsula in Russia to the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula in Canada
No full textKML files showing the distribution of lagoons wider than 500 m along the Arctic coast from the Taimyr Peninsula in Russia to the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula in Canada. There are two files: one specific to thermokarst lagoons and the other showing all lagoons. Interconnected lagoons are marked as one system. The criteria for the identification of thermokarst lagoons is described in Angelopoulos et al. (2021)

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
