No full textBorderless Creation: Ming Di’s World of Poetry Translation, Co-translation and Self-translation
No full textThis chapter deals with the fascinating entanglement between poetic creation,
self-translation and co-translation, by focusing on the very peculiar case of the Chinese poet Ming Di 明迪 and the process of double or multiple creativity entailed in her work
River Merchant’s Wife, a collection of poems published in English translation in 2012. I will consider her multifaceted role as a poet, translator, editor and poetry critic, and her cross-lingual and cross-cultural identity as a Chinese expat in the United States. Indeed, all these elements play a pivotal role in shaping both the creative process and the intrinsic texture of her poems, making her case a very specific one which challenges the definition of Sinophone and its borders
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Migrazione, società e educazione: il caso di studio delle ex Officine Reggiane
No full textIl contributo affronta il rapporto tra migrazione, marginalità e progettualità educativa all’interno di
un percorso di accoglienza migratoria svolto nella città di Reggio Emilia. Il progetto, in cui uno degli
autori lavora e su cui è stato svolto un percorso di tesi che ha considerato un arco di sette anni, si è
svolto sul caso delle ex Officine Reggiane, un contesto particolarmente segnato da marginalità e
devianza su cui un lavoro di rete con professionalità integrate ha coinvolto un segmento importante
di riflessività relativamente all’impatto dei fenomeni migratori nello specifico contesto. Il lavoro
muoverà da una ricostruzione, nella prospettiva di una pedagogia critico-strutturale, delle condizioni
educative nel contesto, proponendo una prospettiva di analisi sull’intersezione tra colonialismo,
imperialismo e globalizzazione. Successivamente, tramite una disamina qualitativa strutturata
attraverso analisi di caso, verranno delineati i caratteri fondamentali della ricerca svolta presso le ex
Officine Reggiane. Infine, verranno discussi i temi pedagogici emergenti dalla disamina e delineate
le possibili linee di evoluzione e di intervento nel contesto
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
