Hands to oars: Aeschylus’ cosmo-phthoric spin on Empedocles’ whirlpool
No full textAs verso to the obverse of the gorgonic gaze of Iphigeneia ‘written’ in the fixed, all-apparent
graphais in the Artemisian sacrifice, this study unfolds in the doxic Aphrodesian register the
dynamics of Helen’s disembodied opsis, her image, that crosses both into Menelaus’ psyche and
out through the hands of the warriors put to oars. Empedocles’ optics are argued to constitute a
visual ray between viewer and object joined in the metaphorical grasping of hands. This
grasping figures simultaneously metaphorical hands within Menelaus’ mind through which the
opsis passes into unconsciousness and the physical hands put to oars. Menelaus’ pothos,
longing, for Helen, drives the Trojan debacle as the vortex of Aeschylus’ cosmo-phthoric,
cosmos-destroying, spin on Empedocles’ cosmogonic whirlpool of Aprhrodite and Ares.
Aeschylus’ pathways, keleuthoi, on which the opsis moves in the register of doxein, contrast
Empedocles’ pathways of the generations of forms in that of idein, and figure finally beneath the
tapestries Agamemnon treads. In Aeschylus’ construction of the novel advent of proto imagination, that is, of the inward experience of the untethered image, the self-reflection of the
auditor-spectator is instantiated as that of a bracketed, suspended [I] and is invoked there in the
theatron to cycle between, on the diegetic level, the all-destroying vortex, on the dramaturgic mimetic level, the discharging of the dionysiac thrall in the dawning awareness of the illusion of
the Gesamtwerk of Tragedy. The suspension of the dionysiac thrall reveals the ungrounded
underpinning of Kierkegaard’s teleological suspension of the ethical as the abyssal [I] whence
the movement of faith would spring up. Subtending then the singularity of Abraham, Knight of
Faith, is the bracketed [I] shaken loose from the dæmonic tyranny of the symbolic order in the
suspension of the unmediated commandment of the pagan gods as divine sanction of the sacrifice
and the ethical universal.First author draf
Facing the Future: the Changing Shape of Academic Skills Support at Bournemouth University
No full textThis paper explores the potential impact of changes to higher education in England on student expectations, engagement, lifestyles and diversity, and outlines implications for the development of digital literacy within academic skills support at Bournemouth University (BU). We will investigate how tackling resource constraints with organisational change can also enable efficient, centralised provision of support materials that utilise networks to overcome the risk of fragmented support for digital literacy. We will also look at how changing delivery modes for support can accommodate changing student lifestyles whilst tackling a weakness of centralised support for digital literacy: that it can become detached from the student’s subject-focused academic practice. Finally we will explore how involving students in developing support can help us to face changes to student expectations and engagement whilst ensuring that materials are authentic and speak to learners in their own voice

"... Life is Too Serious a Thing to Talk About it Seriously..." Camp in the Works of the Writers of Bu-Ba-Bu
No full textThe proposed text is an attempt to read the works of the writers of Bu-Ba-Bu in the context of the aesthetics of camp. On the basis of selected literary texts and essays of the Bu-Ba-Bu writers set together with Susan Sontag’s and Roland Barthes’ thoughts, the author argues that campy play in kitsch was for Andrukhovych, Irvanets, and Neborak a fundamental literary and artistic strategy, which vividly demonstrated their understanding of postmodern literature. In this context, the author of the article argues that literature in the concept of Bu-Ba-Bu writers should be a sex-ual and sens-ual creation; writing - a strategy of seduction; and a tissue of the text - the topography of forbidden regions, tempting with their prohibition
Academic authorship: who, why and in what order?
No full textWe are frequently asked by our colleagues and students for advice on authorship for scientific articles. This short paper outlines some of the issues that we have experienced and the advice we usually provide. This editorial follows on from our work on submitting a paper1 and also on writing an academic paper for publication.2 We should like to start by noting that, in our view, there exist two separate, but related issues: (a) authorship and (b) order of authors. The issue of authorship centres on the notion of who can be an author, who should be an author and who definitely should not be an author, and this is partly discipline specific. The second issue, the order of authors, is usually dictated by the academic tradition from which the work comes. One can immediately envisage disagreements within a multi-disciplinary team of researchers where members of the team may have different approaches to authorship order
Combining multiple scholarly relationships with author cocitation analysis: A preliminary exploration on improving knowledge domain mappings
No full textAuthor cocitation analysis (ACA) is a branch of bibliometrics and knowledge representation that aims to map knowledge domains. However, ACA has been criticized because count-based measurement is too simple, and resulting maps are insufficiently informative. Since different scholarly relationships, e.g., coauthorship and author bibliographic coupling relationships, can extract out different relationships among authors in various perspectives, combining them with ACA for constructing knowledge domain mappings is our major purpose. The proposed method constructs the hybrid matrix from all relationships in four steps: relationship normalization, calculating the similarity between scholarly relationships, calculating adjustment parameters, and constructing hybrid relationships. The important parameters for integrating these matrices are calculated according to the distance in the hyperspace transformed from the similarity among the scholarly relationships by exploratory factor analysis. Compared with ACA, the results of the proposed method show: (1) More sub-fields in the given discipline can be identified when combining other scholarly relationships; (2) The more scholarly relationships added into ACA, the more details in terms of research area the method will find; (3) Good visualization in clustering is depicted when we combine other scholarly relationships. As a result, the proposed method offers a good choice to understand researchers and to map knowledge domains in a study field for integrating more scholarly relationships at the same time.

Author lexicography and a theoretical evaluation on author dictionaries prepared in Turkey
No full textBatı literatüründe "author lexicography" ve "writer lexicography" ve Rus sözlükçülük geleneğinde "pisatel'skaya leksikografiya" ve "avtorskaya leksikografiya" adlandırmalarıyla karşılanan yazar sözlükleri hem dünyada hem de Türkiye'de birçok örneği olan genel sözlük tipolojisinde bir alt tür olarak yer alan sözlük türüdür. Genel sözlük tanımlarından ve uygulamalarından farklı olarak "yazar sözlükleri"yle ilgili birbirinden farklı özellikte uygulama örneklerinin yaygınlaşması bu uygulama alanıyla ilgili teorik çalışmalara da bir ihtiyaç olduğu gerçeğini ortaya koymuştur. İşte bu ihtiyacı karşılamak amacıyla yazar sözlüklerinin tarihi, amaçları, yöntemleri, makro ve mikro yapısı, tipolojisi gibi konular üzerine Türkiye dışında birçok çalışma yapılmış, teoriler, yöntemler belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Türkiye'de de birçok yazar sözlüğü örneği bulunmakla birlikte hem adlandırmayla ilgili birtakım karışıklıkların hem de uygulamada birtakım sorunların olduğu görülmektedir. Türkiye'deki yazar sözlüğü uygulamalarıyla ilgili bu belirsizliğe sebep olarak da yazar sözlüğünü oluşturan bileşenlerin belli bir parametreye sahip olmaması görülmektedir. Bu tez çalışmasında öncelikle Türkiye dışındaki yazar sözlüğüyle ilgili teorik çalışmalar incelenmiş, ardından hem Batı'daki yazar sözlüğü örnekleri hem de Türkiye'deki uygulamalar incelenerek yazar sözlüklerinin mega, makro ve mikro yapıları oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır.
Author dictionaries, which called "author lexicography" and "writer lexicography" in Western literature and "pisatel'skaya lexicographyya" and "avtorskaya lexicography" in the Russian lexicography tradition, are a type of dictionary that is included as a subgenre in general dictionary typology, which has many examples both in the world and in Turkey. Unlike general dictionary definitions and applications, the spread of application examples with distinctive characteristics related to "author dictionaries" has revealed the fact that there is a need for theoretical studies related to this field of application. To meet this need, many studies have been carried out outside Turkey on topics such as the history, purposes, methods, macro and microstructure, typology of author dictionaries, and theories and methods have been tried to be determined. Although there are many examples of authors' dictionaries in Turkey, it is seen that there are some confusions about naming and some problems in practice. The reason for this uncertainty about the author dictionary practices in Turkey is that the components that make up the author dictionary do not have a certain parameter. In this thesis study, firstly, theoretical studies related to the author dictionary outside Turkey were examined, then both the examples of author dictionaries in the West and the practices in Turkey were examined to create mega, macro and microstructures of author dictionaries
The citation disadvantage of female-as-corresponding-author research teams in biology
No full textFirst and corresponding authors are often regarded as leading members in a research team. Distinguishing the gender composition of leading authors paints a nuanced picture on the gender differences in scientific performance at the research team level. This poster selects scientific publications in 2010 in the field of biology and finds that, in mixed-gender teams, while female authors hold a higher rank trend in publications’ bylines than male authors, female-as-corresponding-author research teams tend to receive less citations

Previous issue date: 2017Author cocitation analysis (ACA) plays a significant role in mapping knowledge domains. However, it has been criticized to be relatively less informative because topic- and semantic-level information of citations has seldom been integrated into ACA. This poster aims to improve the traditional ACA by combining topical information of cocited authors with author cocited counts, which is called topic-based ACA. Author-Conference-Topic (ACT) model is adopted in this research to calculate topic distributions of authors. Compared with traditional ACA, topic-based ACA shows a better clustering ability in visualization and mines more details in knowledge domain mappings
Author recognition for Turkish documents
No full textGünümüzde, yazar tanıma çalışmaları, teknolojinin gelişmesi ve bilginin yaygınlaşması ile ortaya çıkan bir takım sorunlara çözüm üretmek için yapılmaktadır. Bu sorunlardan bazıları yazarı belli olmayan dokümanların yazarlarının belirlenmesi ve yazarının kim olduğundan tam olarak emin olunamayan metinlerin yazarlarının belirlenmesidir. Bu çalışmada, Türkçe dokümanlar için yazar tanıma sistemleri geliştirilmiştir. Sistemlerin eğitilmesinde ve test edilmesinde kullanılmak üzere, gazetelerden seçilen 6 yazara ait köşe yazıları kullanılmıştır. Yazarların 70?er makalesinden oluşan 420 dokümandan oluşan bir derlem hazırlanmıştır. Bu dokümanlardan 20?şer tanesi eğitim için, 50?şer tanesi test için kullanılmıştır. İlk olarak, 6 yazara ait dokümanlar toplanmış, daha sonra her yazara ait 20 doküman birleştirilerek tek bir doküman haline getirilmiştir. Bu şekilde elde edilen 6 doküman için sözcük, gövde, hece ve karakter n-gramlarının öznitelik vektörleri belirlenmiştir. K-En Yakın Komşu algoritması için öznitelik vektörleri belirlenirken her yazar için vektör uzunlukları 120, 180 ve 240 olarak seçilmiş, oluşan öznitelik vektörleri için K-En Yakın Komşu algoritmasıyla test edilmiştir. En başarılı sonuçlar, vektör boyu 120 olduğunda elde edildiğinden diğer metotlar için de vektör boyu 120 olarak kullanılmıştır. Geliştirilen sistemler eğitildikten sonra test edilerek doğruluk ve F-ölçüsü değerlerine göre birbirleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır.Today, the studies of author recognition have been made for providing the solutions of the problems which occur by developing and growing of information technology. Some of these problems are to specify the authors who the papers are exactly written by. In this study, some systems about author recognition for Turkish documents have been developed. For generating the systems, we have used the columns which belong to six authors in some newspapers. A corpus which includes totally 420 documents is constructed for training and testing of the systems. Each author has seventy documents. Twenty documents of every author are used for training operation. But, the other documents are utilized for testing stage. The features of word, stem, syllable, character and their n-grams are decided for each documents of these six author. Author recognition systems have been developed with the methods as K-Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machine, Multi-Layer Perceptron and Learning Vector Quantization. The feature vectors? lengths of the systems developed by K-Nearest Neighbor have been chosen as 120, 180 and 240. Because the most successful results are obtained as the length of the feature vectors is 120, we have used this length for the other methods. After the developed systems are trained the methods, the systems have been tested and evaluated according to accuracy and F-measure values
