Il volto e la spirale. Genealogie, morfologie e poetiche visuali.
No full textEcphrasis is a subject that is often the focus of contemporary research. Perhaps its importance stems from the fact that we live in a civilization dominated by images, and we feel the need to control the visual imagery that surrounds us, to govern it and to make sense of it through language. The attention given to literary theory, rhetoric and sophistry today also helps to explain the success of this subject. The present book is situated in this field of research
Immagini di una metropoli: 'The Soul of London' di Ford Madox Ford
No full text"The Soul of London", pubblicato da Ford Madox Ford nel 1905, è stato a lungo considerato una prova minore e solo in anni recenti ne è stata opportunamente sottolineata la rilevanza all’interno del macrotesto fordiano.
Irriducibile a una classificazione di genere, il piccolo volume in cui lo scrittore restituisce la propria personalissima esperienza della Londra primo novecentesca si propone come un suggestivo viaggio di scoperta della realtà urbana in cui i modi della reminiscenza autobiografica si fondono con il gusto tipicamente fordiano dell’aneddoto. Scritto in una prosa fortemente evocativa, in cui evidente è l’influsso delle coeve sperimentazioni pittoriche, il testo è importante perché in esso sono riconoscibili le premesse di un metodo e di una poetica che nei saggi degli anni ’10 (“Impressionism – Some Speculations”, “On Impressionism” e il più tardo “Techniques”), frutto della collaborazione con Conrad, Ford stesso riassumerà nella nozione di impressionismo letterario.
Muovendo da queste considerazioni, il mio saggio analizza e interpreta “The Soul of London” alla luce delle successive teorizzazioni dell’autore. In particolare sottolinea come esso consenta di cogliere in profondità il significato della sperimentazione fordiana, una sperimentazione saldamente ancorata a quella realtà da cui trae alimento tutta la ricerca delle avanguardie e in cui si manifestano i tratti essenziali della modernità: la realtà della metropoli
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
Dispelling 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
