Premessa dei Curatori
No full textQuesto volume intende omaggiare Marcello Garzaniti in occasione del suo sessantesimo compleanno e del trentennale della sua carriera, a riconoscimento dell’impegno generosamente profuso nell’ambito della ricerca, della divulgazione scientifica e della didattica. L’eterogeneità dei contributi offerti da colleghi, allievi e amici testimonia l’erudizione e la poliedricità d’interessi del festeggiato. Le cinque sezioni di cui si compone il volume spaziano infatti dalla storia della cultura alla storia della civiltà letteraria slava ecclesiastica, dalla linguistica alle letterature slave, senza trascurare la storia della slavistica. Il volume è completato dalla bibliografia della produzione scientifica di Marcello Garzaniti
Gli attributi di Dio. Per una traduzione slavo ecclesiastico-russo-italiano del lessico religioso e teologico-filosofico
Full text linkIn order to understand and correctly translate religious and philosophical-theological words, general dictionaries often fail to provide satisfactory solutions. Issues related to their translation go beyond linguistics and bring up the matter of correspondence or lack of correspondence in concepts and contexts of reference. Waiting for and aiming at compiling a trilingual (Church Slavonic-Russian- Italian) lexicon of religious and philosophical-theological words, the authors analyze frequent lexemes in specific literary genres and semantic fields, in order to reconstruct their origins, semantics and use. In this essay they consider in particular six lemmas used in Church Slavonic hagiography, homiletics and hymnography to refer to the three persons of Christian God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit): vĭsedĭržitelĭ (vĭsedĭržatelĭ), sĭrdĭcevědĭcĭ, ženichŭ besŭmĭrtnĭnyi, ženichŭ nebesĭnyi, edinorodĭnyi, edinočadyi
Appellativi e attributi della Madre di Dio. Per un lexicon slavo ecclesiastico-russo-italiano dei termini religiosi
Full text linkIn direct continuity with a previous essay, devoted to the study of a selection of attributes
referred to the Christian God (Ferro, Romoli, 2013), the authors analyze a number of epithets and
attributes addressed to the Mother of God or defining her qualities. These words are frequently used
in medieval Eastern Slavic literature, they are usually stated in the most authoritative dictionaries of
Old and Church Slavonic languages, and remain generally unchanged in modern Russian.
Within the project of a trilingual (Church Slavonic-Russian-Italian) lexicon, the essay aims to
show how the translation of religious terms goes beyond linguistics, as the question of correspondence
or lack of correspondence in concepts and contexts of reference often arises. Since general
dictionaries frequently fail to provide satisfactory solutions, it is necessary to go back to the terms’
origins, semantics and use through the systematic use of different types of dictionaries. In addition,
in order to provide a proper Italian translation, the use of dictionaries of the Italian language too is
fundamental
Le citazioni bibliche nel Poučenie v nedelju syropustnuju. Liturgia, tradizione patristica e memoria collettiva
Full text linkThe article is an attempt to partially recreate collective memory about the Cheesefare
feast on the basis of the Poučenie v nedelju syropustnuju (Teaching for Cheesefare
Sunday) by metropolitan Nikifor I (†1121). By means of a comparative analysis between
biblical quotations used in the text and those used in liturgical celebrations for Cheesefare
Saturday and Sunday, as well as Patristic literature devoted to the same liturgical
occasion (but also to fasting and related topics), the author has effectively collected
a cluster of common references. These very references (composed of biblical liturgical
and/or Patristic quotations) may represent one tessera of the mosaic of collective
memory associated with Cheesefare week that originated from liturgy and was consolidated
in the Patristic tradition
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
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
