Costruzione ed estetica del paesaggio nel cinema di Michelangelo Antonioni : dagli scritti critici ai documentei del Fondo documentario del Museo Michelangelo Antonioni di Ferrara
No full textMichelangelo Antonioni was a pioneer in the representation of landscape in cinema. His experiments on this subject, and the scientific accuracy that characterized them, defined some fundamental aspects of his original “poetics of gaze”. This dissertation deals with the complexities of Antonioni’s construction of his cinematic image, focusing on the theoretical and critical context of his work, including the cultural milieu in which he grew up, and using different disciplinary approaches, such as esthetics, anthropology, film studies, art science and history, and cultural studies, to reconstruct the representation of landscape in his cinema. The analysis is enriched by the consultation and study of the archival documents kept at the “Museo Michelangelo Antonioni” in Ferrara.Le paysage dans le cinéma de Michelangelo Antonioni est protagoniste incontesté de la plupart de ses films et les personnages sont souvent relégués à la limite du cadrage. Paysage et personnages vont définir une certaine vision historienne du temp et de la place, qui coïncide avec la célèbre esthétique des “temps morts” du cinéma antonionienne. Les architectures et la composition de l’image du film sont les instruments au travers lesquels explorer le monde, en tâchant de cueillir les contradictions de ce qu’on perçoit avec le regard. Cette recherche, menée par Antonioni le long de toute sa carrière, peut être entendue selon les principes d’une innovation dans l’esthétique du cinéma moderne. Aujourd’hui, pour étudier l’œuvre d’Antonioni et comprendre sa poétique de la vision, il faut se mesurer avec le patrimoine artistique du metteur en scène et les écrits critiques qui ont été produits en Europe et surtout en France, où il est encore vivement entendu l’héritage intellectuel d’Antonioni. Au-delà du matériel conservé dans les Fonds d’Antonioni, dont il est commencé la consultation qui témoigne de ce parcours de recherche, le cinéaste a laissé un grand héritage artistique qui longtemps a été étudié par la critique française à partir de la deuxième moitié des années ’50 du siècle passé
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
LA POETICA DELLA RÊVERIE NEL «ROMANZO» DI FRANÇOIS TRUFFAUT
No full textLiterature is a fundamental aspect of François Truffaut’s cinema. In his movies it is possible to find these two great passions – literature and cinema – which are always strictly connected together. The bibliography on the relationship between Truffaut and literature allows to study in depth what may be defined «Le roman de François Truffaut», to quote the title of a special issue of the French review «Cahiers du cinéma», published in December 1984. Such «roman» is characterized by movies, as well as by letters and critical writings, which concern the work of the author. This paper is mainly concerned with Truffaut’s artistic project in terms of screen versions of a literary work that produced movies like «livres filmés» – as some film critics call them – through the use of that creative force which literary culture defines with the term of rêverie; besides, in this essay the philosophical conception of rêverie developed by Gaston Bachelard in his book La poétique de la reverie (1960) is applied to the “literary cinema” of Truffaut
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
