Gilda Cordero-Fernando\u27s memoir, The last full moon and the problematique of female self-representation
No full textAutobiography is a concept that is not given much emphasis in Philippine literature. There have been very few studies conducted to explore this genre as a whole, more so narratives written by women. Female representation is another problematic arena which is not delved into due to certain issues like policing the truth, determining the context of the autobiographical I in context of its culture and society, and seeing how language constructs representations for the autobiographies.
In 2005, Gilda Corder-Fernando, renowned writer and publisher, came out with an autobiographical narrative - a great opportunity for literature students to contribute to the area of autobiography in the study of our nation\u27s literature. This study explores Cordero-Fernando\u27s memoir and how she creates, through her empowering language, representations of her multiple selves in the context of others who have played integral roles in her life. Furthermore, this study also aims to unearth silenced aspects of the writer\u27s life imposed by patriarchial society. These objectives will be achieved through a deconstructive of the text using autobiographics, a theory on female self-representationpioneered by Leigh Gilmore, which focuses on uncovering the contradictions, interruptuions, resistance and erupttions in the text as strategies of self-representations.
Cordero-Fernando constructs many different selves heard in the different voices that articulate in her memoir the different aspects of her life. Using her distinct writing style, she empowers herself by creating representations for her multiple selves, as well as voicing openly, the silenced aspects of her life. Her self-construct as a writer is her narrator, the self that sees through the social impositions of patriarchy and the boundaries set for women by Philippine culture
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
Crossing the threshold of and disclosing the fantastic in Gilda Cordero-Fernado\u27s selected stories
No full textFounded on different researches, Gilda Cordero-Fernando is acknowledged as a writer on the topic of middle-class. In one of Jose Y. Dalisay\u27s introductions of his work, he asserts that Gilda Cordero-Fernando is a fantasy writer. In my study, I bring to the readers the foremost principle of Eric Rabkin and one of Rosemary Jackson\u27s principles concerning the theory of Fantasy Realism. As I demonstrate illustrations from Gilda Cordero-Fernando\u27s works such as Ningning , Hunger , The Dust Monster and The Level of Each Day\u27s Need , using the theory of Eric Rabkin and Rosemary Jackson, I therefore publicize that Gilda Cordero-Fernando is a fantasy writer
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
