Realismo - Letteratura
No full textLa voce, articolazione specifica della voce Realismo nella IX Appendice dell'Enciclopedia Italiana, intermedia tra Realismo-Filosofia e Realismo-Cinema, fornisce una messa a punto su uno dei concetti più sfuggenti e controversi dell'intero lessico critico. La riflessione sul realismo in letteratura viene condotta da una prospettiva fortemente aggiornata sul presente, prendendo le mosse dall'ennesimo ricorso storico e dai recenti dibattiti sul cosiddetto "ritorno del realismo". Dopo avere delineato e storicizzato questo contesto in una prospettiva di lunga durata, il testo si interroga sulla polisemia e sulle ambiguità del concetto di realismo, decostruendo alcuni malintesi e proponendo ipotesi euristiche che l'autore ha sviluppato in studi di più ampio respiro (in particolare F. Bertoni, Realismo e letteratura. Una storia possibile, Einaudi, Torino 2007)
Nascita e metamorfosi del romanzo
No full textIl saggio, inserito in un'opera collettiva di grande respiro, disegna un percorso molto ampio sulla nascita e le metamorfosi del romanzo moderno europeo, osservato in chiave comparatistica. Più che storico-letterario, l'approccio può essere ricondotto a un'idea di morfologia storica che integra il taglio diacronico con un'indagine di tipo teorico. Dopo alcune riflessioni iniziali sull'etimologia del termine "romanzo" e sul problema molto controverso dell'origine, il saggio si concentra soprattutto sullo statuto ibrido ed eterogeneo del genere e su alcune dicotomie concettuali (epica e romanzo, novel e romance, convenzione e sperimentazione), sempre attento a cogliere il nesso peculiare tra il romanzo e l'evoluzione del mondo moderno. Vengono infine tracciati alcuni percorsi o assi argomentativi che definiscono alcune peculiarità del romanzo moderno: il problema del realismo, le forme e le funzioni dell'antiromanzo, la persistenza dialettica del romance nel corpo stesso del novel realistico-borghese
La cognizione del dolore, Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana - Gadda
No full textIl saggio, inserito in un'opera di grande respiro sulla letteratura europea, rientra nell'ambto delle schede analitiche sui "Capolavori", cioè testi esemplari che sono stati inclusi in una sorta di canone rappresentativo. I due romanzi maggiori di Gadda, "La cognizione del dolore" e "Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana", vengono presentati e analizzati nei loro aspetti principali, mettendo a fuoco una serie di nodi formali e tematici
Lolita, John Wayne e i Sanfedisti: feticci e demoni della Cancel Culture
No full textIn spite of everything, we are still not sick of debating on Cancel Culture: after the interventions in the previous issue, we carry on the reflection through a conversation between Clotilde Bertoni, Federico Bertoni and Marina Polacco, dealing in particular with the relationship between literature, cinema and political correctness’ obsessions.In spite of everything, we are still not sick of debating on Cancel Culture: after the interventions in the previous issue, we carry on the reflection through a conversation between Clotilde Bertoni, Federico Bertoni and Marina Polacco, dealing in particular with the relationship between literature, cinema and political correctness’ obsessions
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
