Lagerkvist, la vitalità dell'arte moderna e la decadenza del realismo
No full textMatisse, Picasso, Cézanne, Apollinaire, i futuristi e soprattutto i cubisti,
insieme a Strindberg e Craig, sono i riferimenti essenziali del giovane Pär
Lagerkvist ai fini del superamento della concezione naturalistica e ottocentesca
dell’arte e per una radicale connessione della Svezia ai fermenti dell’avanguardia
continentale. Lagerkvist non solo si servì dello strumento novecentesco del
“manifesto” per intervenire sulle questioni estetiche del momento in almeno
due importanti occasioni, pubblicando nel 1913 Arte della parola e arte dell’immagine
e, nel 1918, Il teatro moderno, ma per tutta la sua esistenza avrebbe
coltivato un fitto e attento rapporto con il mondo dei pittori e degli scultori
d’avanguardia al fine di caratterizzare la sua letteratura esistenziale in un senso
peculiarmente plastico-visuale e decisamente modernista
Poesia, società e protesta nel Cairo medievale
No full textMany scholars credit the poets of the Mamlūk period with making the real problems of society the focus of their work in poetry, the most important genre in Arabic literature. Many poems of that period deal with social and political themes, often with vital matters for the common people, such as corruption, poverty and social discrimination. This paper discusses the poetry of social and political commitment during the Mamlūk period in Cairo, describes its context and defines important recurrent themes
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
Harry Martinson’s Prose Nomadism. A Comparative Reading of Resor utan mål, Kap Farväl!, and Vägen till Klockrike
No full textLo scrittore svedese Harry Martinson elabora nei primi anni della sua attività (1929-1933) l’idea del nomade universale, sia sulla base delle proprie esperienze di viaggio, vagabondaggio e lavoro come marinaio, sia per gli impulsi letterari provenienti dall’ambiente modernista in cui si forma. La scrittura nomade indica un’assenza di meta e di appartenenza che permette di soffermarsi e osservare in modo nuovo; il nomade è lo scrittore che si apre così alla vastità del mondo per abbracciarne la molteplicità, con un’energia vitale che rappresenta anche una risposta all’inquietudine per le sorti del mondo nel periodo tra le due grandi guerre. Alla luce dell’elaborazione del concetto di “nomadismo” negli studi filosofici e letterari contemporanei (Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, Kenneth White, Rosi Braidotti) si intende illustrare e analizzare questa poetica in relazione alla costruzione del soggetto autobiografico e dunque dell’autorialità che essa comporta; alle possibilità che essa offre di intrecciare prospettiva esistenziale e coscienza sociale; e all’interazione sul piano formale di elementi lirici, narrativi e saggistici
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
Surrealism in Gunnar Ekelöf's Poetry in the Early '30ths
No full textThis article aims to shed light on the manifold prospect of Gunnar Ekelöf’s cultural experience in Paris during the 1920s. This experience was considered as producing a radical linguistic renewal of his poetry in the late ’20s and early ’30s. The multitude of pictorial, musical and literary experiments interplaying in the French capital at the time greatly stimulated and influenced his creativity, as they merged with a previous cultural background based on Oriental studies (Eastern religion and philosophy), mystics and mythology. By personally elaborating all this input, Ekelöf was able to produce an absolutely innovative and linguistically disruptive poetry that has left an enduring imprint in the literary production of later generations
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
