Xuan Bello, translator and author : his role in the development of the Asturian literature of "Surdimientu"
Get PDFXuan Bello is one of the best-known Asturian authors in the Iberian Peninsula. His work as a poet developed in parallel with his work as a translator, especially of Portuguese and Galician, two languages that have influenced his own literary production in Asturian. His dual role as author and translator is inseparable from its cultural context, characterized above all by Surdimientu, the movement to recover the Asturian language and culture launched in 1974. Indeed, Asturian literature can be seen as an emerging literature, supported by a group of agents who take on various functions inside the literary system. The aim of this article is to analyse the relationship between Bello's poetry and prose with: 1) The role played by the author within the framework of Surdimientu, 2) The role played by his translations, and 3) The impact of the translations of his works in prose on the Catalan literary system.Xuan Bello és un dels autors asturians més coneguts a la península Ibèrica. La seva formació com a poeta es desenvolupa en paral·lel a la seva tasca de traductor, sobretot del portuguès i del gallec, llengües que l'influeixen en la seva obra (en asturià). La seva doble faceta com a autor i traductor és indissociable del context cultural en què es desenvolupa, marcat pel Surdimientu, el moviment de recuperació de la llengua i cultura asturianes iniciat el 1974. En aquest context, la literatura asturiana pot ser vista com una literatura emergent, que disposa d'una sèrie d'agents que assumeixen diverses funcions en el sistema literari. L'objectiu d'aquest article és analitzar la relació de l'obra (poesia i prosa) de Bello amb: 1) El paper que l'autor desenvolupa en el marc del Surdimientu; 2) El paper que hi assumeixen les seves traduccions, 3) L'impacte de les traduccions de la seva obra en prosa en el sistema literari català
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
"L'ombra dins l'ombra de mi mateix". Una indagació en la metarealitat de l'obra de Manuel Baixauli
No full textAmb tres novel·les (Verso, 2002, L’home manuscrit, 2007, i La cinquena planta, 2014) i un recull de microrelats (Espiral, 1998, revisat i publicat el 2010), Manuel Baixauli s’ha posicionat com un dels narradors més originals del panorama literari actual. La seva literatura és una operació de creació i imaginació que situa el lector en una realitat ambigua, entre el somni i la vetlla, i posa de manifest l’enigma que li és consubstancial. El propòsit d’aquest article és avaluar els components metaliteraris de l’obra de Baixauli a partir de l’anàlisi de l’ús de l’autoreferencialitat, el desdoblament espectral i la metanarrativitat.With three novels (Verso, 2002, L’home manuscrit, 2007, La cinquena planta, 2014) and one book of micro-stories (Espiral, 1998, re-issued in revised form in 2010), Manuel Baixauli has made a place for himself as one of the most original writers on the Catalan scene.
His work is the result of an imaginative creative process which takes the reader to an ambiguous place, half way between dream and wakefulness, bringing out the essential enigmatic dimension of reality. The article attempts an assessment of the metaliterary components of Baixauli’s work through the analysis of his use of self-referentiality, the doppelgänger and metanarrativity
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
La relació de Joan B. Cendrós amb Henry Miller
Get PDFL'objectiu de l'article és analitzar la mediació de l'empresari Joan B. Cendrós en la recepció i traducció de Miller en la Catalunya de postguerra. Primerament s'analitza l'interès de Cendrós pel món editorial català i la seva irrupció com a editor l'any 1962. Després se n'estudia l'interèsper Miller i la correspondència que hi establí. Finalment es fa una descripció breu de les traduccions que impulsà i dels condicionaments que n'afectaren la publicació. A l'hora d'analitzar es tenen en compte: a) els condicionants històrics que dificultaren les traducció; b) la relació de les estratègies editorials d'Aymà i Proa pel que fa al mercat editorial barceloní dels anys setanta.The aim of this article is to analyse the mediation of the businessman Joan B. Cendrós in Henry Miller's reception and translations in Catalonia during the 1970s. First, Cendrós's own interest for publishing market and his appearance as a publisher is analysed. There then follows a general evaluation of his interest for Miller works and the lively correspondence he kept with the writer. Finally there is a description of the translations and its publications. When carrying out the analysis the following factors are taken into account: a) historical conditioners which make the translations publications more difficult; b) the relation between Aymà and Proa publishing strategies and the evolution of the publishing market in Barcelona in the 1970s
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
