La dinamica degli opposti. Ricerca letteraria, cultura mediatica e media in Georges Perec
Full text linkAutore di romanzi, saggi, radio e in parte di cinema e documentari televisivi, Georges Perec ha dedicato un articolo in particolare al rapporto tra scrittura e media. Con il supporto di studi di teoria dei media, cultura di massa, critica letteraria, teoria della ricezione, ci si è chiesti in che misura i media hanno influito sulla sua produzione letteraria e viceversa (in una prospettiva di intermedialità). Si sono indagate questioni come il rapporto tra letteratura, intrattenimento mediatico e approccio critico; la "crisi del linguaggio" e i limiti e le risorse della parola; lo iato tra scrittura e realtà e tra propaganda e realtà (attraverso la nozione di schema cognitivo); il passaggio tra spazi reali e luoghi della scrittura, autore e testo, testo e lettore, evento e quotidiano, finzione e documento, immersione e distanza. Mentre tecniche e linguaggi specifici di ciascun media trovano un'applicazione creativa in media diversi, una "nuova oralità" ridefinisce i tratti della memoria, tra stabilità e mutamento. Il confronto delle produzioni di Perec con la mediasfera fa emergere, oltre alla nota ricerca da parte dello scrittore della traccia, del segno indelebile della scrittura in risposta all'assenza e alla perdita, anche il riconoscimento del rischio insito in una legge rigida, un ordine immobile, e una fascinazione per l'effimero, per la vita come processo. Nella sua opera si rinviene una costante messa in tensione di opposti che s'intrecciano senza mai comporsi del tutto, senza fornire una soluzione univoca, in una visione mobile, aperta, complessa.À partir d'un article de Georges Perec sur le rapport entre écriture et médias, on s'est interrogé sur la mesure dans laquelle ces derniers ont influencé sa production littéraire et vice versa. En s'appuyant sur des études de théorie des médias, de théorie de la lecture, de culture de masse, on a abordé la relation entre divertissement et approche critique ; la crise et les ressources du langage ; le hiatus entre écriture et réalité et entre propagande et réalité (à travers la notion de schéma cognitif) ; le passage entre espaces réels et lieux de l'écriture, auteur et lecteur, événement et quotidien, fiction et document, immersion et distance. Une nouvelle oralité redéfinit les traits de la mémoire, de la stabilité et du changement. À côté de la recherche de la trace, récurrente chez Perec, la confrontation avec les médias et la culture médiatique fait émerger la conscience du risque inhérent à un ordre immobile, à une loi implacable, l'insuffisance de la règle, et l'attrait de l'éphémère, de la vie comme procès. Des oppositions sont constamment mises en tension par l'écrivain, les contraires confrontés sans jamais trouver une solution univoque et définitive, pour offrir une vision mobile, ouverte, complexe
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
Assistive technologies and models for evaluation
No full textThe process of matching assistive technology to person (Scherer & Craddock, 2002) requires a well designed and researched sequential set of assessments that are administered by professionals with different areas of expertise in specialized centers for technical aids. The team of experts acts as a mediator between the person with a disability and the assistive technology. This summarize of the presentation performed in the panel “Sciences For Inclusion” rests on the following main features: the scientific power of the Assistive Technology Assessment (ATA) process, the new professional profile within a multidisciplinary team working in a center for technical aid, and the importance the assessing personal and environmental factors within the ATA process. The ATA model outlines an ideal process which provides reference guidelines for both public and private centers for technical aid provision, allowing them to compare, evaluate and improve their own matching model
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
