Rezension: "Der Ring des Nibelungen" von P. Craig Russell
No full textDer renommierte Grafiker und Eisner Award-Gewinner Philip Craig Russell legt mit seiner Comic-Adaption von Richard Wagners Operntetralogie Der Ring des Nibelungen eine geglückte Symbiose von Metamorphose und originärer Treue vor. Russells Version erliegt nicht der Koketterie, sich an inszenatorischen Vorgaben zu messen, sondern verhilft scheinbar Tradiertem durch einen raffinierten Erzählmodus zu einer neuen Betrachtungsweise. Im Comic können die Einzelbilder sowohl gesondert, als auch im Kontext betrachtet werden. Russell determiniert sein Publikum nicht zu Interpretator*innen am Endpunkt eines erst zu durchlaufenden Initiationsprozesses, sondern macht es wieder zu unmittelbaren Zeug*innen eines Geschehens.With his comic adaptation of Richard Wagner\u27s operatic tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen, renowned graphic artist and Eisner Award winner Philip Craig Russell presents a successful symbiosis of metamorphosis and faithfulness to the original. Russell\u27s version does not succumb to the coquetry of measuring itself against staging guidelines, but rather helps the seemingly traditional to a new way of looking at things through a refined narrative mode. In the comic, the individual images can be viewed both separately and in context. Russell does not determine his audience as interpreters at the end point of an initiation process that must first be gone through, but makes them direct witnesses of an event

Musicalization, adaptation, and reinterpretation: impressions of P. Craig Russell about Claude Debussy´s "Pélleas et Mélisande"
Get PDFP. Craig Russell se ha convertido en uno de los principales referentes sobre musicalización del cómic,
trasladando ideas musicales a obras plásticas. En el presente artículo me propongo elaborar un análisis
sobre su adaptación de la obra simbolista Pélleas et Mélisande. La obra, perteneciente al dramaturgo
Maurice Maeterlinck y llevada al panorama operístico por Claude Debussy, podría considerarse una de
las obras más personales de Russell y abiertas a la interpretación debido al carácter simbolista de la obra.
Mientras en otras adaptaciones opta por mayor importancia al papel de la música, nos encontramos en
Pélleas et Mélisande con una adaptación que plasma una gran cantidad de ideas de la obra original, concediendo importancia al simbolismo de la misma.P. Craig Russell has become one of the leading figures on the musicalization of comics, transferring
musical ideas to plastic works. In this article, I propose to analyse his comic adaptation to of the symbolist opera Pélleas et Mélisande. This play, by the playwright Maurice Maeterlinck and brought to the
operatic stage by Claude Debussy, could be considered one of Russell´s most personal works and open
to interpretation due to its symbolic character. While in other opera adaptations he chooses to give
greater importance to music, in Pélleas et Mélisande we find an adaptation that captures a large number
of ideas from the original work and gives importance to its symbolism
Moby-Dick Meets the Day After Tomorrow: Eco-Disaster and Salvation in Craig Russell\u27s Fragment
Get PDFCraig Russell\u27s 2016 eco-thriller Fragment is a cautionary tale with nautical overtones.Like Herman Melville\u27s classic 19th-century American allegory Moby-Dick, the 214-page novel is encyclopedic in its presentation of scientific knowledge; unlike Moby-Dick, it is Wikipedic in its exposition of the potential effects of the ignorance of this knowledge. Though alarmist in its message, and matter-of-factly Naturalistic in its depiction of the deaths of tens of thousands of creatures both human and other, the book is ultimately Romantic as it presents Nature in simple language composed to improve society
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
