No full textCosts and salaries in cheap “lvdi” organized in Western Roman Empire
Get PDFLas inscripciones nos informan de la edición en las ciudades provinciales de “ludi” modestos por valor de menos de 1.000 HS/día, coste muy lejano de los fastuosos espectáculos organizados en Roma y en las capitales provinciales. Con ese dinero el editor debía pagar a los profesionales que intervenían, el atrezzo necesario (vestuario, caballos de carreras, etc.) y el acondicionamiento del escenario. Dado el escaso valor de los “ludi” modestos, el salario de los actores, aurigas y púgiles rondaría los 5 HS/actuación, y para las gradas y el escenario o para el alquiler de los caballos apenas se podrían destinar unos pocos cientos de sestercios.According to some inscriptions, in the provincial towns there were modest “ludi” cheaper than 1,000 HS per day. This cost is very lower than the cost of the splendid shows organized in Rome and in provincial capitals. With this monetary quantity the editor should pay for the professionals, the necessary attrezo (dresses, race horses and so on) and the fitting out stage. Because of the low value of the modest “ludi”, the salary of the actors, charioteers and boxers would be around 5 HS/ performance, and the cost of the stand and the stage or the rent of race horses would be hardly a few hundred sesterces

El coste de los espectáculos gladiatorios en las ciudades del Occidente romano
Get PDFThe aim of this paper is to explore the daily cost of munera gladiatorum in the towns of the Roman Occident and to classify it in three levels of prices through the analysis of the inscriptions which commemorate gladiatorial combats and of the imperial laws, especially the oratio de pretiis gladiatorum minuendis.En este artículo intentamos aproximarnos al coste diario de los munera gladiatorum en las ciudades del Occidente romano, clasificándolo en tres niveles de precios, a través del análisis de las inscripciones que conmemoran la edición de gladiadores y de la legislación imperial, especialmente la oratio de pretiis gladiatorum minuendis
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
