L’animale narrante. Brian Boyd e l’origine delle storie
No full textThe storytelling Animal. Brian Boyd and the origin of Stories
This paper will discuss about Literary Darwinism, a new branch of literary criticism that tries to explain storytelling in evolutionary terms. In particular, It will deal with the thesis proposed by Bryan Boyd, the most cited author of LD, according to which narrative is the most powerful tool to share and shape attention – especially in the form of fiction, which allows human beings to go beyond the here and now. Therefore, after having described his proposal and, briefly, its weaknesses, I will focus on the most interesting part of It: the one about ontogeny. So, using Boyd as a starting point, I will study the importance of narrative for the development of our most relevant cognitive skills
Vladimir Nabokov, Think, Write, Speak. Uncollected Essays, Reviews, Interviews and Letters to the Editor, edited by Brian Boyd and Anastasia Tolstoy
Full text linkFor Nabokov scholars, the book Strong Opinions has been the central reference for everything Nabokov himself had to say about his life and his work. However, the new publication Think, Write, Speak, edited by Brian Boyd and Anastasia Tolstoy, will now be considered an equally relevant reference. On the very first page of his introduction to the book, Boyd explains that Strong Opinions was “a rushed compromise,” as it was gathered hastily to provide one of the eleven books that were required u..
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
Brian Boyd: a biography of a trade unionist
No full textThe project proposes to explore the interplay between the public and private life of a senior Victorian Trade Union official, Brian Boyd, and the profound changes that the union movement has undergone during the last fifty years. The child of working class immigrants, he grew up in the industrial area of the La Trobe Valley before undertaking higher education in Melbourne. As an undergraduate he became involved radical student politics, specifically opposition to the Vietnam War and conscription. As a 'draft dodger', he moved to Queensland to avoid arrest and returned to Melbourne after the Whitlam government abolished conscription. There, at La Trobe University, he became a leading activist in the Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist) inspired, Students for Australian Independence. After the successful completion of the BA and Diploma of Education qualifications he joined the Builders’ Labourers Federation as a rank-and-file activist on building sites. He later became a full-time official of the Victorian Branch of the BLF. In 1988 he was elected an Industrial Officer at the Victorian Trades Hall, a position he held until 2005 when he was elected to the role of Secretary of the Victorian Trades Hall, and has been re-elected since. He has published numerous works, most notably Inside the BLF, a controversial account of internal corruption in a militant trade union. Boyd is currently a prominent figure in both the industrial and political wings of the Victorian and national labour movement. The project will focus on significant public events interpreted through the private experiences of this prominent labour activist. These will include declining trade union density and influence and Boyd's struggle against the trade union movement’s decreasing relevance in contemporary Australia, reactions against increasingly radical right-wing challenges to industrial tripartism and the dilemmas currently facing the left as it confronts political survival and industrial militancy. As a biography the project will also examine the private impact on a life dedicated to an increasingly marginalised political philosophy and the accommodations made to retain an ongoing viability for the core values of the labour movement. The study proposes to be emblematic of the wider issues confronting Australia's trade union movement from the Cold War period of Boyd's arrival in Australia to his prominence as a public figure at time of the lowest trade union density in seventy years and the growing dual labour market
