    Witold Gombrowicz w kalejdoskopie recepcji

    Full text link
    Seen through the perspective of reception, the works of Witold Gombrowicz constitute a wide range of receptive proposals, selectively updated in the constant dynamic of the interactive discourse between the literary subject and the reader. The reader is invited in a covert partnership with his communication peer (the author–the producer) in their joint journey to the own polyphonic, unidentifiable, mutational ego. The relation to the self, as permanently disputed by otherness, finds its artistic application through the comic as the most powerful weapon against the Form, both in the field of the author and of the recipient

    SLAVONIC ANTIQUITIES WITH S AND SH/AN UNIVERSAL UNIT OF SACRUM AS AN APPEAL TO COMMON SENSE THROUGH CULTURES

    Full text link
    The paper analyses the spiritual and aesthetic messages of the artist Marek Sobczyk whose exposition, containing 15 metal paintings painted over aluminum iron (because it produces sounds and reflects light) with the enigmatic title Slavonic antiquities with S and Sh, represents a powerful stimulus for interdisciplinary studies aimed at active resistance to the global, ideological, and moral crisis of modernity and to discrimination of cultures. The exposition is a unique aesthetic attempt to overcome them

    LINGUO-TRANSFORMATIVE FUNCTION OF THE GROTESQUE AS A STIMULUS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS

    Full text link
    This study is related to the linguo-transformative function of the grotesque as the regulator of the binomial Semiotic-Symbolic, and through it – of the recreational flux of the а-systemic into the lingual system. The possibilities for socialization of subjects within the renewed communicative environment are studied as well. The following is significant for the transformative continuum: the semiotic transformation within the zone of the grotesque, alienation as a stimulus of the transformative process, sublimation of the object, implications of the Emptiness (the Void), the “anti-cohesive” coherence as a transformation of the lingual systematic, the anti-Form, the grotesque environment and the style as the “transformers”, the grotesque as a transformative code

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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

    Full text link
    We 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

    Full text link
    We 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
