Die Bibliothek der Br�??der Schlegel. Geselligkeit in der Fr�?hromantik
No full textAlla luce della definizione provocatoria di biblioteca "virtuale" dei fratelli Schlegel, l'articolo si occupa di discutere come l'attività di recensore di August Wilhelm Schlegel, fondatore - con il fratello Friedrich - della cultura ufficiale della Frühromantik, ci permetta oggi di ricostruire una biblioteca che non esiste più, in quanto fu dispersa già in occasione della morte del noto studioso tedesco. Le recensioni di August Wilhelm, dottissimo critico e traduttore, consentono altresì di considerare la gran messe di generi che la scrittura del '700 poteva offrire ai suoi lettori: almanacchi e plaisanterien, florilegi e libretti per le dame. Partendo da questo primo approccio alla cultura letteraria del '700, l'articolo esplicita come gli stessi Schlegel amassero sperimentarsi su generi nuovi, come, ad esempio, le "Charakteristiken": una forma mista di biografia, interpretazione testuale e profilo della personalità dell'autore. Dalle scelte tematiche e di gusto, che riflettono la tensione della cultura tedesca a un dialogo con le altre civiltà europee, si configurano anche i presupposti per discutere il tema della "socievolezza" nel primo romanticismo. Questo atteggiamento culturale, tipico dei saloni letterari di inizio '800, ma discendente dalla tradizione delle riunioni nelle case delle gran dame francesi, viene elevato nella prospettiva schlegeliana a una forma comunicativa e di scambio di idee che viene definita sinfilosofia. Nelle recensioni i critici jenensi non si limitano a argomentare intorno al tono, alla maniera e allo stile di un'opera, bensì affrontano anche la questione della Weltanschauung e lo stile di vita dello scrittore. Dalle suddette premesse, è molto più facile comprendere come la cerchia di Jena non fosse solo un ricettore di idee culturali, ma anche fucina e laboratorio di originali forme poetiche. L'articolo ha come obiettivo l'individuazione dei canoni culturali del periodo classico-romantico tedesco nell'ottica dell'incipiente romanticism

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

No full textDispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
