Piotruś Pan w Ogrodach Kensingtońskich Jamesa Matthew Barriego. Kontekst – interpretacja – przekład
Get PDFPraca magisterska wyróżniona I nagrodą w XVI edycji Konkursu im. Czesława Zgorzelskiego w kategorii literaturoznawczej.„All children, except one, grow up”. Among all the authors of global classic literature for children James Matthew Barrie is definitely an outstanding writer, known as the creator of the story about Peter Pan – the boy who would not grow up and who lives on the fantastical island of Neverland. However, the eternal boy not always lived on Never Never Land – although he is (and forever will be) „young”, he is not devoid of the past: his story begins in Kensington Gardens. The book is divided into three parts. The opening part is an interpretative essay, in the first instance devoted to James Matthew Barrie himself (who’s biography – unknown in Poland – is essential to understand his work). Subsequently the essay considers textual and generic flexibility of Peter Pan and presents a comprehensive interpretation of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906) – Barrie’s very first work dedicated to the boy who would not grow up, which somehow forms the origin and prefiguration of famous Peter Pan and Wendy (1911); finally, it offers an exploration of various mythological, cultural and literary motives from which the figure of Peter Pan originates. The second section is a piece of literary translation criticism; it focuses on the two existing Polish translations of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens: Przygody Piotrusia Pana (1913) by Zofia Rogoszówna and Piotruś Pan w Ogrodach Kensingtońskich (1991) by Maciej Słomczyński. This part consists of a comparative analysis of translations mentioned above; the main challenges that Barrie’s works pose to the translator are highlighted here and translation strategies adopted by Rogoszówna and Słomczyński are critically compared. The third part – central and the most extensive – presents the new translation of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, prepared by the author of the monograph in the 110th anniversary of the publication of the original text. The translation is accompanied by Arthur Rackham’s Edwardian illustrations which perfectly capture Barrie’s elusive and whimsical genius, and by the brief afterward written by the youngest translator of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
Norwid’s death certificate - an unknown document
No full textIn 2002 Andrzej Szczerba found Cyprian Norwid’s original death certificate in the record office of the XIII quarter of Paris and he published it on the web portal Genealodzy.pl. Up till now a copy of the certificate quoted by Gomulicki in his Complete Writings was the basis for all considerations. The author discusses the reasons why the original was not looked for, he quotes its contents and gives its photo copy, as well as compares it with the generally known version
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
<i>Fortepian Szopena (Chopin’s Piano)</i>. Poetry and history
No full textThe author tries to interpret in a new light a few motifs from Norwid's masterpiece. It turns out that talking about Chopin changes into remarks on his art, which causes a certain difficulty in differentiating these two planes (biography and music). The motif of the dropped lyre (l. 9) playing spontaneously after Orpheus' death allows stating that one of the basic themes of Chopin's Piano is the problem of the life of art after the death of the artist. The poem makes one ask about this particular mystery that decides about the value and immortality of a work of art.
Next the historical background is characterized of the origin of the poem and the circumstances and consequences are described of the attempt on the life of Governor Berg, that is, of the events that are thought to be connected with the genesis of the poem.
In the last part a new interpretation is presented of the famous ending of the poem (l. 114-117), in which the significance of irony is lessened and the possibility is proposed of an almost literal understanding of the text. It is suggested that the ideal reaching the cobbles should be understood as an analogy to Christ's Incarnation
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
