The early knowledge of Petrarch's works in medieval Poland: the case of Jan Długosz
No full textJan Długosz (1415-1480) was the eminent Polish historian of the late Middle Ages, whose opus magnum - Chronicles - is one of the biggest works of Eastern European medieval historiography. Abundant studies on it are accompanied by the unfading discussion on the question, if its author and style was truly medieval, or should be rather called as,,humanistic". My study aims to reveal the new evidence of Długosz humanism in the form of hidden quotations from the works of Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374), one of the earliest Italian humanists. The enormous number of them was found through accurate computer-assisted analysis and comparison of n-grams in Długosz' Chronicles and the corpus of Petrarch's works. Collected data served as material for the detailed analysis of whole passages, utterance frames and phrases taken from the Italian writer's texts (e.g. from De remediis utriusque fortunae or Epistolae familiares) and masterfully interspersed in the narrration of Polish chronicle. Furthermore, usage of stylometric methods on appointed material gave the opportunity to observe the similarities and differences between two writers. In this speech I would like to present selected examples from the collected material in order to: (1) show the method and manner of using quotations from Petrarch's works by the Długosz and (2) add the new voice to the discussion on the Chronicles and the intellectual range of Polish medieval literature. It could be also used as the starting point for the discussion on the position of Eastern European medieval historiography in the historiography of the Europe in the late Middle Ages.Ministry of Science and Higher Education, “Narodowy Program Rozwoju Humanistyki”, project: "Długosz 2.0.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
