Mircea Eliade as Dramatic Author
Full text linkThis bachelor thesis defines writer Mircea Eliade as a dramatic author, including reception of his work by contemporary literary recenzents in confrontation to his own point of view. It will also explain the backround of creating the playworks. We deside if there are any relations between Eliade's diaries, novels and dramas. We will compare similar subject: the drama Iphigenia by older authors (Euripides, Jean Rotrou, Jean Racine and Johann Wolfgang Goethe) and how much are projected old Romanian folk ballads Miorița (The Little Ewe) and Meșterul Manole (The Master Builder Manole). In the rest of the play works we decide how much is involved Eliade as a religionist especially his theory of "teror of the history" (in partial drama 1241), theory of the "sacral and profane" in drama Oameni și pietre (People and Stones) and the response to the myth around famous sculptor Constantin Brâncuși in the play Coloana fără sfârșit (The Infinite Column). Most of the used texts are available under the lines or in the attachment. Unless it isn't written differently, the translations I've made myself and it was a part of the technical work
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
„ I only became a playwright when I started to direct“ Interview with Alina Nelega, dramatic author, professor and tutor of the Playwriting MA at the University of Arts in Tîrgu-Mureș
Full text linkThe present interview with Alina Nelega is centred on the contemporary Romanian dramaturgy. Our discussion focuses on the existing initiatives to encourage emerging playwrights, as well as on topics like the evolution of theatre in Romania after the fall of communism, the director-playwright relationship, the transition of the playwright to the status of dramatic author but also on the image of the country in the Romanian dramaturgy
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
