La version arménienne des oeuvres grecque de David l'Invincible: recherches sur la formation du vocabulaire épistémologique arménien
No full textCon questa ricerca ho cercato di approfondire l’analisi testuale, sia linguistica sia concettuale, delle versioni armene e greche di tre trattati filosofici (Prolegomena philosophiae/Definizioni e Divisioni della filosofia, Commento all’Isagoge di Porfirio, Commento alle Categorie di Aristotele) e della versione armena del Commento agli Analitici Primi di Aristotele, attribuiti a Davide l’Invincibile, commentatore neoplatonico attivo ad Alessandria, probabilmente tra la metà e la fine del VI secolo. Non potendo condurre un’analisi sistematica di tutte le questioni filosofiche affrontate e/o sottese nei quattro trattati mi sono concentrata su alcuni concetti epistemologici di particolare importanza nelle speculazioni filosofiche dell’epoca tardo-antica. Ho condotto un’analisi contrastiva sul modo in cui la coppia antinomica di matrice aristotelica, “in atto-in potenza”, (la locuzione kath’energeian e il sostantivo energeia) è resa in armeno, soprattutto nelle Definizioni e nel Commento all’Isagoge, sulla modalità di resa della coppia di termini greci energeia-epinoia e, infine, sul significato dato ai termini attinenti alla sfera epistemologica e gnoseologica (ennoia/mtacowt‘iwn, epinoia/makamtacowt‘iwn, dianoia/tramaxohowt‘iwn, noûs/mitk‘) sia nelle versioni greche che armene dei tre trattati e nella versione armena del Commento agli Analitici Primi. Lo scopo dello studio è di dimostrare l’ipotesi di partenza, formulata dopo aver tradotto in italiano la versione armena dei Prolegomena, cioè che la versione armena dei Prolegomena non è una traduzione pedissequa o parafrasata del testo greco originale, come nel caso di altre traduzioni armene dello stesso periodo. Essa è piuttosto una rielaborazione del greco sulla base di altre fonti della tradizione neoplatonica cristianizzata, medio-platonica e stoica, che presuppone sia stata redatta da Davide stesso o da uno dei discepoli della sua cerchia, dopo il ritorno in Armenia da Alessandria. Gli interventi da parte dell’armeno sul lessico, sulla struttura testuale con frequenti riduzioni di esempi e di rimandi che si leggono nel greco, ed infine, sui concetti espressi, forniscono delle argomentazioni a favore della mia ipotesi. Nel corso della ricerca ho rilevato anche altri aspetti linguistici dei testi esaminati e la loro somiglianza o divergenza con/da i commentatori neoplatonici della scuola di Alessandria ed, in particolare, della cerchia di Ammonio

Osservazioni preliminari sul rapporto tra armeno ban e greco logos e sue implicazioni nell'elaborazione del pensiero etico e politico armeno
No full textArmenian ban 'word' in the classical language has almost all the meanings and uses of Greek logos, of which in fact is considered a perfect equivalent. Anyone who knows the history of the Armenian language, however, will wonder whether this semantic richness results from an indipendent development or rather from an influence of the Greek corrispondent. This paper aims to give an answer to this question, as far as it is possible. Moving from a comparison with the Indo-European cognates of the Armenian lexeme, we seek to recover its semantic value by studying the uses of ban in the Armenian literary language. The linguistic assessment will thus outline the progressive specialisation of ban under the pressure of the Greek model. The profile will be completed by the analysis of some passages from the works of the philosopher David the Invincible and the historian Moses of Khoren in order to appraise the reception in the Armenian cultural milieu of the concepts which ban conveyed under the influence of Greek logos
La description archéologique et éthnographique de la Grande Arménie par les Pères mékhitaristes de Venise entre hellénophile et arménophilie
No full textThis study is a preliminary attempt to reassess and redefine the aims that inspired the philological work of the Mekhitarist Fathers of Venice, particularly their volumes devoted to archaeology and historiographic geography, in the light of the so-called Orien- talist and Post-colonial studies. The Author aims to show the ‘ideological’ relation between the historiographic works of some renowned Mekhitarist fathers, namely Ghukas Inchichian, Ghewond Alishan and Sukʿias Efrikian, and the Father of the Armenian historiography, Movsēs Khorenatsʿi, particularly concerning the methodological approach to the historiographic description and discourse. The concept of ethnic ‘nation’ elaborated by Movsēs Khorenatsʿi, as well as the theory of dialectical relation between centre and periphery, is one of the most entrenched and productive values of the Armenian identity. In this light, the author tries to reconsider also the intellectual and spiritual motivations behind the monumental work of the three Mekhitarist figures that should not be encompassed by a (post-) Foucaldian lecture of the ‘nationalistic’ philological movements, as recently proposed by some scholars
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
