Southern Europeans and "moors" from the early modern English perspective: the stranger in the dramatic production of Shakespeare and Dekker
No full textIn the early modern literary and non-literary production, Catholics and Muslim "Moors" are
often strategically presented as having similar -mainly negative- features. The anxieties about the
menacing presence of these Others can be perceived in dramatic works such as Thomas Dekker´s
Lust�s Dominion (ca. 1600) or Othello (1603-04) by William Shakespeare. While reflecting their
cultural context, these works might be influential in a society characterized by its changing attitudes
towards these strangers, and who could be, in turn, instrumental to (apparently) support or challenge
the contemporary ideologies and the established principles.En la producción literaria y no literaria de la época pre-moderna, las figuras de católicos y
"moros" musulmanes a menudo se caracterizan por presentar rasgos similares, principalmente
negativos. Las ansiedades inducidas por la amenazadora presencia de estos Otros se puede apreciar en
obras dramáticas como la de Thomas Dekker, Lust�s Dominion (ca. 1600), o Othello (1603-04) por
William Shakespeare. Tales trabajos se caracterizan por reflejar su contexto social y por su posible
influencia en una comunidad que presenta actitudes cambiantes hacia estos extranjeros, quienes, a su
vez, pudieron constituir un medio para (aparentemente) apoyar o desafiar las ideologías y los
principios contemporáneos establecidos
Spaniards, Moors and Women in Early Modern English Discourses. A Critica! Edition of Thomas Dekker's Lust's Dominion (c. 1600)
Get PDFLa presente tesis doctoral opta a la mención de Doctorado Internacional, para lo que cual ha cumplido con los requisitos establecidos por la Escuela de Doctorado de la Universidad de Jaén,entre los que se incluyen la participación de un miembro del tribunal examinador procedente de una universidad no española (en este caso, el Prof Dr Rüdiger Ahrens , Univ.Würzburg, Alemania)[ES] El propósito de la presente disertación es el de analizar la representación de españoles, moros y mujeres en los discursos ingleses pre-modernos, con el objetivo principal de determinar las estrategias retóricas utilizadas en tales representaciones; establecer cómo Ja presencia de estos individuos plantea un elemento de ansiedad en la Inglaterra pre-moderna; demostrar que no todos los discursos sobre estos sujetos son negativos, puesto que dependen del contexto sociopolítico y económico de la época; y apoyar las hipótesis sobre la importancia de la presencia de lo ajeno en la formación de identidades occidentales.
Con estos propósitos, nuestro objetivo final será el de elaborar una edición crítica original de la obra dramática Lust 's Dominion (c. 1600), de Thomas Dekker. Con ello se pretende ofrecer una fuente relativamente inexplorada y poco editada que muestra cómo las identidades empiezan a tomar forma en el periodo pre-moderno junto con un creciente rechazo hacia el extranjero (político y "racial").[EN] The purpose of the present dissertation is to analyse the representation of Spaniards, Moors and women in early modern English discourses. The main objectives ofthis study are to determine the rhetoric strategies employed for such representations; to establish how the presence of these individuals poses an element of anxiety in early modern England; to demonstrate that not ali the discourses about these subjects are negative (since the attitude towards them depend on political and economic interests); and to support ideas about the importance of alterity in the formation ofWestern identities.
Our last objective is to elaborate an original critica! edition of Lust 'sDominion (c. 1600), by Thomas Dekker. With this contribution we seek to offer a relatively unexplored and seldom edited source, which shows how identities take shape during the early modern period together with a growing rejection of (political and "racial") strangers.Tesis Univ.

La representación del Otro en el siglo XIX: la diversidad en Ricardo Palma
Get PDFThe historical distribution of power in Peru, characterized by segregation and oppression, changed drastically after its independence from Spain. Starting in the second half of the 19th century, the rigid social policies of the Colony gave way to ideas of tolerance, such as the indigenist movement of post-colonial Latin America. No longer considered enemies of the country, several minorities were gradually integrated in the Peruvian society, collaborating in the formation of a new national identity. This normalization was selective, however, and the new ideas of integration often involved a new and more pernicious control of the Peruvian nation. Central to this discourse is the one that the Peruvian mulatto writer Ricardo Palma presents in his Tradiciones (1864-1910), characterized by ambiguous representations of traditionally stigmatized individuals, such as Native Americans, African Americans, and women. Other groups, such as Creoles, Mestizos, or Mulattoes (like Palma), struggle to overcome their social boundaries in order to create a new set of identities built on idealized national models.
The prevailing tendency in much of the research written about this situation has been to focus almost exclusively on the situation of minorities within society, neglecting the role played by these groups in the construction of the Peruvian national identity. Moreover, it has failed to address the 19th century social and psychological struggle among minorities to be recognized within the newly formed nation. My research addresses these issues in Peruvian studies using the examples of Palma’s Tradiciones, with the aim of exploring the particularities of the post-colonial new configuration of nation, identity, and power
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
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
