E. Nesbit y sus innovadoras aportaciones a la novela infantil
No full textAt the beginning of the twentieth century, when English society was undergoing development, E. Nesbit became a recognised writer. Her work, still displaying some Victorian literary features, outstands as a pioneer in granting power, freedom, imagination, enjoyment and spontaneity to young characters. One century later many writers are still using those literary patterns introduced by this author when she established genres such as domestic fantasy and gang stories.A principios del siglo XX, cuando la sociedad inglesa se hallaba en plena transformación, se consolida como escritora E. Nesbit. Su obra, todavía deudora de ciertas rasgos literarios victorianos, despunta como pionera en otorgarles a los personajes infantiles poder, libertad, imaginación, diversión y espontaneidad. Todavía un siglo después muchos escritores siguen empleando los modelos literarios introducidos por esta autora cuando estableció géneros como la fantasía doméstica y las historias de pandillas

E. Nesbit: Su vida y sus cuentos
Get PDFInstintivamente, E. Nesbit había seguido el consejo que C.S. Lewis daría varios años más tarde: para ser escritor, para llegar a escribir sobre algo, es necesario saber interesarse por todo. Y eso fue lo que ella hizo: los menores detalles de la vida quedaban almacenados en su mente y en su corazón para ser utilizados llegado el momento. No era tanto, como ella dijo de sí misma, que recordase muy bien su época infantil, ni tampoco, como opina Doris Langley Moore. que en realidad nunca hubiera dejado de ser una niña. La clave de su éxito está en su entusiasmo, en ese interés suyo por las cosas de todos los días, de todos los sitios.
Lo más curioso es que, a pesar de todo, E. Nesbit era más que una escritora, una narradora formidable, como Berta Goosefoot, «Mother Goose», o Dorotea Viehmann, la fuente de información de los hermanos Grimm
The Religious Imagination of E. Nesbit (1858-1924)
No full textThe Religious Imagination of E. Nesbit (1858-1942) investigates the
influence of Christian ideas and values across the oeuvre of Edith Nesbit (1858-
1924). A committed Socialist, Nesbit was a highly regarded author of adventure
and fantasy stories for children, and she is best known to this day for this work.
However, she also published gothic and romance novels, wrote multiple
collections of poetry, and delivered lectures and wrote a book on child
development. The contemporary view of Nesbit is as a children’s author,
specialising in humorous fantasy adventures, an author shaped by Edwardian
rejection of Victorian mores, and one strongly influenced by her Socialist
connections. However, as this thesis will argue, religious ideas were central to her
work: they shaped her imagination and motivated her ideological concerns, which
she explored using forms traditionally found in religious or pietistic texts. This
thesis uses a variety of historical-critical, literary critical and biographical
approaches to explore the impact of religious thinking in Nesbit’s oeuvre.
Accordingly, this study is developed through close reading of selected examples of
her work from several moments across her career: her poetry, her prose, her
children’s writing. In doing so, the thesis demonstrates how religious thinking
provides a crucial yet underexamined lens for understanding Nesbit’s imaginative
and moral vision, a vision shaping and shaped by her political commitments and
her concern for and attentiveness to childhood as a crucial moment of moral
formation. Operating within a distinctly theological framework, Nesbit’s depiction
of the supernatural, the fantastic and the magical form is a particular focus of this
thesis allowing a reassessment of a Victorian author who defies simplistic
categorisation in terms of religious adherence and expression
La traducción del Aleph: El diminuto universo de E. Nesbit en la Editorial Calleja
Get PDFThis article focuses on the immediate forerunners of the Aleph described by Jorge Luis Borges. The aim is to analyse how the vision of the Aleph is translated from the Anglo-Saxon culture of the beginning of the XXth century — Edith Nesbit (1858- 1924) — to Spanish culture in the 1920 — translations of her fantastic tales in the editorial Calleja. The analysis of these translations has meant to the research two fundamental challenges: first, to detect that the stories published by the« editorial Calleja actually belonged to the British writer E. Nesbit and locate a possible translator; and secondly to compare how the vision of the Aleph is translated from one culture to the other.El artículo indaga en los antecedentes inmediatos del Aleph descrito por Jorge Luis Borges.

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
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
