A Chinese Diasporic Translator: Chi-Chen Wang and his Translation of Chinese Literature
Full text linkThe diasporic translator Chi-Chen Wang did much to disseminate modern Chinese literature in the West. This article draws attention to Chinese diasporic translators in the West in the 1940s through the neglected figure of Chi-Chen Wang (1899-2001). This paper of Chi-Chen Wang is an integrated study of two perspectives, an overview of present studies on Wang’s translation and a detailed analysis on Wang’s translation principles by examining his translation revisions. The research finds out that Wang’s translations in the 1940s years centered on socially conscious types of writing, which bear a close relationship to his sympathy and expectation for China. Wang was guided by the principles of both capturing the original flavor and enhancing the readability of the target text
A Study of Chi-Chen Wang’s Translation Style
Full text linkChi-Chen Wang (1899-2001) is a trailblazer in promoting Chinese literature in the West and is also one of the earliest scholars who introduces modern Chinese literature to the Westerners. This study provides a detailed discussion on Wang’s translation style by contrasting Wang’s translation with Yang’s version. And the textual analysis reveals that Wang’s translation style is noted for his use of explicitation on the subtle Chinese language and the adoption of hypotactic syntax that the target readers are more accustomed to. And Wang’s lucid and readable translation won a wide readership in the West
Imma phuocbuu Buchsbaum, Chi & Chen, sp. nov. from south Vietnam (Lepidoptera: Immidae)
No full textDuring a faunal survey of Lepidoptera in 2023, Imma phuocbuu Buchsbaum, Chi & Chen, sp. nov. was discovered and represents the first record of the genus in Vietnam. A single male specimen was collected from atransitional biotype between mangrove and semi-deciduous dry lowland forest habitats near the coast. The newspecies is distinguished from Imma transversella (Snellen, 1878), I. semicitra Meyrick, 1937 and I. semiclara Meyrick, 1929 by differences in wing pattern and genitalia morphology.Während einer faunistischen Untersuchung von Lepidoptera im Jahr 2023 wurde Imma phuocbuu Buchsbaum, Chi & Chen, sp. nov. entdeckt und stellt den ersten Nachweis der Gattung in Vietnam dar. Ein einzelnes männliches Exemplar wurde in einem Übergangs biotop zwischen Mangroven und halbtrockenen Tieflandwäldern in Küstennähe gesammelt. Die neue Art unterscheidet sich von Imma transversella (Snellen, 1878), I. semicitra Meyrick, 1937 und I. semiclara Meyrick, 1929 durch Unterschiede in der Flügelzeichnung und der Morphologie der Genitalien.Durante un estudio faunístico de Lepidóptera en 2023, se descubrió Imma phuocbuu Buchsbaum, Chi & Chen, sp. nov. y representa el primer registro del género en Vietnam. Se recogió un único espécimen macho en un biotipo de transición entre los hábitats de manglar y de bosque seco semi-caducifolio de tierras bajas cerca de la costa. La nueva especie se distingue de Imma transversella (Snellen, 1878), I. semicitra Meyrick, 1937 e I. semiclara Meyrick, 1929 por diferencias en el patrón alar y la morfología de la genitalia
A Study on Shihyilou Chi Chen and His Descendants
No full textEight famous trade associations of Lukang exemplified the heyday of Lukang during the Qing Dynasty. Nowadays, many traditional sites of these trading companies are still located on Chung Shan Road and Chin Sheng Lane. For example, Yilou and Shihyilou are the original shops of the Qing-Chang Hang, the most powerful branch under the Hsia Trade Association during the Dau-Kuang period of the Qing Dynasty. Ke-Chuan Chen, the founder of the Qing-Chang Hang, had seven sons, one of which was the father of the owner of Shihyilou, Chi Chen. Due to the prosperity of his family, Chi Chen donated some money in order to get a status as five Pin in the class of gentry, changing himself from a businessman to a gentry. Being erudite in Han studies and having a liking for Shih Su's works of literature, Chi Chen associated wi th many scholars of the time. Shou-Hsing Tsai, Chia-Shu Fang, Tiao-Keng Shih, Yi-Chi Huang, and Chi-Sheng Hung had given Chi Chen either their pieces of calligraphy or their poems as presents. However, despite his abundant knowledge, he could not bring his talent into full play because of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Dai Chao Chun uprising. After the Cession of Taiwan in 1895, Chi Chen's descendants did not move back to China, staying in Taiwan to protect their family property. Chi Chen's third son, Chih-Fen, bought a public position and became colonial government's assistant after the dynastic change. In addition, Chih-Fen and his relatives, Huai-Cheng Chen and Pei-Hsu Chen, made their family honor, Qing-Chang, thrive again. That Shihyilou became a place where men of letters tended to enjoy literature together was attributed to Chi Chen and his offspring's efforts. Therefore, it showed that Chen's family's contribution to cultural popularization was indispensable. Nonetheless, in order to maintain the image of Chen's family's elegance and prosperity, they were faced with some financial difficulties, so they sold Shihyilou to other relatives. Although Chen's family was not as wealthy as before, Chi Chen's descendants still made efforts to protect historic monuments after World War II, such as rebuilding Paomalou, contributing to cultural development. Also, they donated Gufenglou as well as some Chen family's relics when Gu family constructed Lukang Folk Arts Museum. This article will explore the history of Chi Chen and his descendants, demonstrating the transformation of Lukang's society and economy by making a comprehensive survey of Chen's family's rise and decline, and see Lukang's change from economy to culture.「鹿港八郊」象徵清朝曾有的繁華歲月，今中山路至金盛巷仍保留許多郊商舊址，如意樓與十宜樓為廈郊「慶昌行」祖厝。「慶昌行」為道光年間廈郊之首，於嘉慶年間由陳克勸所創。克勸生有七子，十宜樓的主人陳祈，為大房植柳之子、克勸之孫，受祖業庇蔭，捐貲至五品官，從商販之家兼為士紳家族；其漢學修養佳，喜愛蘇軾作品，與文人往來密切，蔡壽星、方家澍、施調賡、黃貽楫、洪棄生曾贈其墨寶或詩作，但受太平天國及戴潮春事件影響，欲振乏力，無法發揮所長。乙未割臺後，陳祈子輩未返回中國，而選擇留臺護產；改朝換代後，其三子質芬以財力任公職，成為殖民政府協力者，與七房陳懷澄、陳培煦父子共創家族再興。而十宜樓作為陳家重要的產業，從陳祈至子質芬、藻雲，孫子敏，乃至七房的懷澄，皆使其成為文人吟詩作樂的場所，可說明慶昌陳家在文化推展的貢獻。然而，為維持「九曲巷中風不到，十宜樓上士閒吟」的形象，財力拮据，故將十宜樓一半屋厝賣給莊再添。戰後，陳家財力已不如從前，不過族人仍盡力貢獻文化事業，自費整修跑馬樓保留古蹟，並在辜家成立鹿港民俗文物館時，捐獻古風樓並借展陳家文物於內。本文將探討十宜樓主人陳祈及其後代的歷史，藉由該家族史的興衰，來反映家族與地域社會發展的關聯性，進而理解從經濟鹿港轉化到文化鹿港的過程
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

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
