A introdução de Benjamin Moser a Crônica da casa assassinada: o biografismo literário e a valorização da informação frívola
No full textIn recent years, Brazilian literature has gained more and more space in the international market. The present article analyses the interpretative and biographical considerations made by the critic Benjamin Moser regarding the publication in English of the novel Chronicle of the murdered house, by Lucio Cardoso translated by Margaret Jull Costa and Robin Patterson, using Charlie Rosen’s notions (which, in turn, are based on Walter Benjamin’s criticism) which place biography at the center of interpretation of a literary work of art. This analysis highlights and problematizes a given project developed by Moser, which is devised under the sign of biographical writing, giving it a personal touch that hardly considers the actual content of the novel.A literatura brasileira vem ganhado cada vez mais espaço no mercado internacional nos anos mais recentes. Aproveitando colocações do estudioso americano Charlie Rosen sobre as críticas de Walter Benjamin a colocar a biografia como centro interpretativo de uma obra literária, o artigo investe em uma visada de crítica às considerações interpretativas e biográficas empreendidas pelo crítico Benjamin Moser diante da publicação em inglês do romance Crônica da casa assassinada, de Lúcio Cardoso, traduzido por Margaret Jull Costa e Robin Patterson. Parte-se da apresentação assinada por Benjamin Moser para dela destacar e problematizar certo projeto que se perfaz sob o signo da escrita biográfica e de cunho personalista que pouco se detém sobre o conteúdo do romance

“Clarice Lispector”, por Benjamin Moser: celebración y misoginia en el discurso biográfico
Get PDFIn line with the theoretical proposals by José-Luis Diaz (2007), Dominique Maingueneau (2004) and Eleonora Cróquer (2012), this article addresses the construction of the author Clarice Lispector as a cultural object. The article focuses on the recurring aspects about the author that Benjamin Moser reproduces and amplifies in the biography Why this World (2009), such as the representation of Lispector as a “housewife who wrote novels and short stories” and, at the same time, as an eccentric or extravagant writer; or the identification of the “strangeness” quality that characterizes her literary work and her authorial performance regarding her biographical origins, the cultural and religious tradition of Judaism and the lack of understanding she was subjected to by the Brazilian cultural field. Some of these topics do indeed coincide with the stereotypes associated with the artist in a “regime of singularity” (Heinich 1991 and 2005). However, Moser’s discourse turns them into disavowing motifs that portray Lispector as a “common woman” and as a victim rather than as an exceptional writer. In this way, Why this World enacts several of the critical mechanisms for suppressing women’s writing described by Joanna Russ (1983). Thus, it becomes a perfect example of critical misogyny in an apparently celebrative biographical discourse.De acuerdo con los postulados de la teoría autorial desarrollada, entre otros, por José-Luis Diaz (2007), Dominique Maingueneau (2004) o Eleonora Cróquer (2012), este articulo aborda la construcción de la figura de Clarice Lispector considerada como objeto cultural. Concretamente, se centra en los lugares comunes sobre la autora que reproduce y amplifica Benjamin Moser en la biografia Why this World (Por qué este mundo) (2009): entre otros, su representación como “ama de casa que escribía novelas y cuentos” y, a la vez, como escritora excéntrica o extravagante; o la identificación de la “extrañeza” que caracterizaría su obra literaria y su performance autorial con sus orígenes biográficos, la tradición cultural y religiosa del judaísmo y la incomprensión de la que, en consecuencia, habría sido víctima en el espacio cultural de Brasil. Si bien algunos de estos tópicos coinciden con los estereotipos asociados al artista en “régimen de singularidad” (Heinich 1991 y 2005), la narrativa de Moser los desplaza hasta convertirlos en motivos desautorizantes que retratan a Lispector como una “mujer común” y como víctima antes que como escritora excepcional. De este modo, Why this World pone en juego varios de los mecanismos críticos de supresión de la escritura de las mujeres descritos por Joanna Russ (1983), deviniendo un perfecto ejemplo de misoginia crítica en un discurso biográfico aparentemente celebrativo
Translation and cultural intermediation: the case of Benjamin Moser and Clarice Lispector
No full textEste estudo tem como objetivo analisar o papel de Benjamin Moser como intermediador cultural na divulgação da obra de Clarice Lispector, considerando sua atuação enquanto tradutor, editor e biógrafo. A pesquisa fundamenta-se na Sociologia da tradução, com destaque para os conceitos de habitus, campo, illusio e capital, de Pierre Bourdieu, bem como das normas da tradução propostas por Gideon Toury, explorando a convergência teórica entre esses autores para compreender como Moser se posiciona e influencia o campo literário. Observa-se que Moser utiliza estratégias paratextuais para conectar Clarice a figuras conhecidas no exterior, ampliando sua visibilidade no cenário literário internacional. A comparação entre a biografia de Moser e a biografia de Nádia Gotlib revela uma disputa simbólica por legitimidade e capital cultural, destacando as diferentes abordagens e influências de ambos no campo dos estudos claricianos. O trabalho conclui que a atuação de Moser vai além da tradução e biografia, influenciando a percepção da obra de Clarice no exterior e gerando debates acerca da ética, autenticidade e apropriação culturalThis study aims to analyze the role of Benjamin Moser as a cultural intermediator in the promotion of Clarice Lispector\'s work, considering his role as a translator, editor, and biographer. The research is based on the Sociology of Translation, with an emphasis on Pierre Bourdieu\'s concepts of habitus, field, illusio, and capital, as well as on translation norms proposed by Gideon Toury, exploring the theoretical convergence between these authors to understand how Moser positions himself and influences the literary field. It is observed that Moser uses paratextual strategies to connect Clarice to well-known figures abroad, expanding her visibility on the international literary stage.The comparison between Moser\'s biography and Nádia Gotlib\'s biography reveals a symbolic dispute for legitimacy and cultural capital, highlighting the different approaches and influences of both on studies about Lispector\'s work. The study concludes that Moser\'s performance work goes beyond translation and biography, influencing the perception of Clarice\'s work abroad and generating debates about ethics, authenticity, and cultural appropriatio
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
