Certain precursors to the drama of sensibility between 1663 and 1696, 1939
No full textThe subject of sentimentalism in the British drama has claimed the attention of some of the most eminent students of the theatre. However, most of them have confined their research to the sentimental play itself, which appeared around the beginning of the eighteenth century and which declined around 1740. It is true that Allardyce Nicoll, in his British Drama and in his Restoration Drama; George Nettleton, in his English Drama of Restoration and 18th Century, 1642-1780; and Ernest Bernbaum, in his Drama of Sensibility discuss various aspects of early approaches to the drama of sensibility. Nicoll, however, primarily interested in the works of the Restoration, discusses only briefly and generally some of the works of Mrs. Behn and their contribution to sentimentality, listing several other plays that present a moral problem. Nettleton sees in Otway and Southerne the forerunners of the actual period of sentimentalism. But he merely mentions these two men in relation to early attempts at sentimentality. Neither Nicoll nor Nettleton analyzes any plays exhibiting sentimentality written prior to the period of sentimentalism is evident. In his discussion of plays disclosing traces of sentimentality written prior to 1696 he gives a thorough analysis of Mrs. Behn's The Town Fop and of Southerne's The Fatal Marriage. However, these are the only plays which Bernbaum treats in detail. He lists several other plays of his nature by Restoration authors buts fails to evaluate or analyze the sentimentality found in them. It would seem, then, that no study of sentimentality from 1633 to 1696 has been upon examination of a number of plays sufficient to permit conservative generalization. This thesis, therefore, attempts to study certain plays of the 1663-1696 period that anticipate the eighteenth century drama of sensibility. Its chief purpose will be to present in some detail evidence that Bernbaum, Nicoll and Nettleton either omitted altogether or treated in an incomplete manner. The selection of plays to be discussed was necessarily limited by the availability of the desired texts. However, a number sufficient for conservation generalization has been examined The treatise will be divided into three chapters, the first of which will outline the opinions of Bernbaum, Nicoll, and Nettleton on the drama of sensibility; the second, the philosophy and characteristics of the sentimental play during the period of its ascendancy (during the early eighteenth century); and the last, an analysis of the characteristics of those Restoration plays that are precursors to the sentimental drama of the eighteenth century
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
