Between chivalry and holiness (Portugal - 15th century): Nuno Álvares Pereira, a medieval hero in History Teaching
No full textThe present work seeks to demonstrate the points of contact between History and Literature
during the Middle Ages. In this sense, using the context of Portugal during the late Middle Ages
to analyze the figure of the knight, specifically through the constable Nuno Álvares Pereira who
had a great participation in the 138331385 Portuguese interregnum. Titled as the greatest knight
of Portugal in documentation, such as Crônica do Condestável de Portugal by an anonymous
author, as well as A Crónica de D. João I, by Fernão Lopes, written in the 15th century, it is
described that this is an influence of arthurian narratives. Specifically, it is said that the
Constable was influenced by the figure of the literary knight Galahad from the novel The Quest
for the Holy Grail, from the 13th century. Both characters carry elements that make up an
idealized model of behavior of a Christian knight to the point that Nuno Álvares Pereira was
canonized in the contemporary era, thus demonstrating the influence of the Middle Ages in the
present day.O presente trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar os pontos de contato existentes entre a
História e a Literatura durante a Idade Média. Nesse sentido, utilizando o contexto de Portugal
durante o final do Medievo para analisar a figura do cavaleiro, especificamente através do
condestável Nuno Álvares Pereira que teve grande participação no Movimento de Avis.
Intitulado como maior cavaleiro de Portugal na documentação, como A Crónica do Condestável
de Portugal por um autor anônimo, bem como A Crónica de D. João I, de Fernão Lopes,
escritos no século XV, é descrito que isso é influência de narrativas arturianas. Especificamente
é dito que o Condestável foi influenciado pela figura do cavaleiro literário Galaaz da obra A
Demanda do Santo Graal, do século XIII. Os dois carregam elementos que compõem um
modelo de comportamento idealizado de cavaleiro cristão ao ponto que Nuno Álvares Pereira
foi canonizado na atualidade, assim, demonstrando a influência do Medievo na
contemporaneidade
The Middle Ages and the literature of chivalry through Nuno Álvares Pereira
No full textO objetivo é conseguir inserir o Medievo da Academia nas escolas, demonstrando uma
perspectiva de estudo do período que complementa os aprendizados do ambiente escolar.
Assim, perpassando pela Idade Média através da cavalaria, especificamente apresentando uma
figura histórica, Nuno Álvares Pereira juntamente com uma figura literária, Galaaz, com o
intuito de compreender através dessas duas figuras a sociedade medieval portuguesa e a
importância da Literatura para a História, juntamente com seu impacto social
O modelo de cavaleiro ideal em Portugal: Galaaz e Nuno Álvares Pereira (século XIII-XV)
No full textThe present work of the course completion aims to analyze the model existence about the
ideal christian knight placed on the middle ages portuguese context. To reach that result,
it analyze the chilvary novel The Quest of the Holy Grail, wroted in the XIII century and
part of the Matter of Britain, the cycle of the tales about King Arthur and his knights. The
set of narratives named arturian was appropriated with several segments of the middle
ages society over the time. The work in question was used to insert a behavior model that
match with the noble and good christian religious values, especially the chilvary.The main
character, Galahad, is a behavior model that it was desired by the middle ages society,
although his character is actually hard to imitates in the reality, like his eternal virginity.
This can be seen in the portuguese context with Nuno Álvares Pereira who, according to
A Crônica do Condestável de Portugal, desired to have the same qualities of the Arthurian
knight. In this way, we have a historical portuguese figure who was affected by a literary
character, both portrayed with several parallels in the documentation, such as theirs
virtues, to the point that the portuguese military commander was canonized in 2009.
Therefore, the importance of relationship between Literature and History through a
historical knight that sought to copy a literary knight, which, as a consequence, reflected
his representation in reality.O presente trabalho de conclusão de curso tem como objetivo analisar a existência do
modelo de cavaleiro ideal cristão no contexto medieval português. Para isso, é analisada
a novela de cavalaria A Demanda do Santo Graal, escrita no século XIII e parte da
Matéria da Bretanha, o ciclo de contos do rei Artur e seus cavaleiros. O conjunto de
narrativas denominadas como arturianas foi apropriado por vários segmentos da
sociedade medieval ao longo do tempo. A obra em questão foi utilizada pela Igreja como
forma de inserir um modelo de comportamento correspondente aos valores religiosos do
bom cristão na nobreza, especificamente na cavalaria. O protagonista, Galaaz, é um
modelo de comportamento que foi almejado pela sociedade medieval, apesar de suas
características serem difíceis de imitadas na realidade, como a sua virgindade eterna. Isso
pode ser percebido no contexto português com Nuno Álvares Pereira que, segundo A
Crónica do Condestável de Portugal, almejou possuir as mesmas qualidades do cavaleiro
arturiano. Deste modo, temos uma figura histórica lusitana que foi influenciada por um
personagem literário, sendo ambos retratados com diversos paralelos na documentação,
como suas virtudes, ao ponto que o comandante militar lusitano foi canonizado em 2009.
Portanto, pode ser percebida a importância da relação entre a Literatura e a História,
através de um cavaleiro histórico que buscou imitar um cavaleiro literário, refletindo em
sua representação na realidade
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
