    Au-delà de la traduction. Chanter Jacques Brel en italien: Giorgio Gaber, I borghesi (1971)

    Full text link
    This article analyses Jacques Brel’s influence on Giorgio Gaber’s LP I borghesi, published in 1971. After defining Gaber’s role in the early cantautori movement and his stance in the political debate of the late sixties and seventies, this paper mainly focuses on the songs adapted from Brel’s “Ces gens-là”, “Les bourgeois” and “Jef”. The fact that neither Gaber nor his co-author Sandro Luporini spoke French fluently allows us to investigate the fact that (and the ways in which) the adaptation of a song can draw inspiration from music and interpretation rather than the mere translation of the lyrics

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    Aux antipodes de la littérature antiputtanesca vénitienne : les stanze in lode delle più famose cortigiane di Venegia de Marco Bandarini

    Full text link
    Este artículo es la edición crítica de las Stanze in lode delle più famose cortigiane di Venegia de Marco Bandarini, publicado en Venecia en los años 1540, cuyo único ejemplar es parte de la colección de la British Library. Como muestran sus obras, el autor, secuaz menor de Ariosto, es más interesante por entender las modas literarias del tiempo que por su valor poético. Siguiendo el género de las stanze in lode di nobildonne, alaba así a las más famosas cortesanas de Venecia como modelos de virtud y honestidad, lejos de los cánones de la poesía pornográfica de Pietro Aretino o Lorenzo Venier.This article is the critical edition of Marco Bandarini's Stanze in lode delle più famose cortigiane di Venezia, published in Venice in the 1540's, whose only copy is now part of the British Library's collections. As Bandarini's works show, the author, a minor follower of Ariosto, is more interesting to understand the literary trends of the time than for his poetic value. Following the genre of stanze in lode di nobildonne, he praises some of Venice's most reknown courtesans as classical models of virtue and honesty, far from the standards of venetian pornographic poetry set by Pietro Aretino and Lorenzo Venier

    At the antipodes of Venetian antiputtanesca literature.Cet article est l´édition critique des Stanze in lode delle più famose cortigiane di Venegia par Marco Bandirini, publiés à Vénice à 1540, dont l´exemplaire est part de la collection de la British Library. Comme ses oeuvres montrent, l´auteur, partisan d´Ariosto, est plus intéressant pour comprendre les modes littéraires du temps que par son valeur poétique. En suivant le genre de las Stanze in lode di nobildonne, il loue ainsi les courtisanes plus célèbres de Vénice comme modéles de vertu et honnêteté, loin des canon de la poésie pornographique par Pietro Aretino ou Lorenzo Venier.

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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 text
    We 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
