L'anfora
Get PDFCon la pubblicazione di questo volume si realizza un progetto nato diversi anni fa. Durante le lezioni di lingua persiana del corso di laurea magistrale in Lingue Culture e Civiltà dell’Asia e dell’Africa Mediterranea, decisi di coinvolgere gli studenti nel lavoro di traduzione e analisi testuale di questo romanzo di Hushang Moradi Kermani. La verità disarmante e universale dei piccoli fatti, la limpidezza del linguaggio, l’immediatezza dell’umanità dei personaggi. In questa storia semplice, ambientata in un villaggio dell’Iran lontano dal rumore e dalle possibilità delle città, l’essenzialità dell’esistenza si confronta direttamente con le pieghe dell’animo umano, con la forza e la fragilità, il coraggio e l’inerzia, con la fantasia e l’abitudine, la generosità e la paura, la realtà e l’immaginazione, sono alcuni degli aspetti peculiari di questa storia.«Ad ogni modo, tutti siamo sfortunati con qualcosa. Io stesso, nella mia vita, non ho avuto fortuna con gli alberi di pesche. Dio solo sa quanto desiderassi avere un pesco come quello di Mohammad Sādeq, il nostro vicino, ma non ci sono mai riuscito. Non le nascondo nulla: ho piantato dieci alberi di pesco davanti alla mia casa, e non uno ha dato dei frutti. O si sono seccati, o i frutti sono caduti che erano ancora acerbi. Lei invece è sfortunato con le anfore. Alcuni altri non hanno fortuna con le scarpe, come ad esempio mia moglie.
The Enchantment of Storytelling Teaching Persian Literature in Italy Today
Get PDFOur contribution intends to briefly describe the history of teaching of Persian literature in Italian universities. Since the post- Second World War period, a number of outstanding personalities, even at international level (A. Bausani, G. Scarcia, R. Zipoli), have hold professorships in Persian literature. Not only have they spread
the study of Persian literature among generations of students, but they have also trained new scholars who are now active in various fields. Each time, the new scholars (successors of those masters), following their own strands of research, have proposed to their students an ever-changing teaching of Persian literature. This teaching, today more than ever, requires us to respond to the cultural complexity of contemporary Iran. With regard to this necessity and within the historical framework outlined above, I will try to show the scientific
and didactic principles that guide my work of teaching Persian literature in particular in two courses that I have been teaching for years, namely Narratives and cultural dynamics and Literary genres and translation. I will try to show how the teaching of language and the teaching of literature feed and fertilize each other and how the reading of the Classics and familiarity with contemporary literature provide privileged access to having real contact with Persian literary tradition

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
