Intertextual connections with Dante’s “Divine Comedy” in Thomas Ligotti’s story “The Bells Will Sound Forever”
No full textМета статті – дослідити оповідання сучасного американського письменника
Томаса Ліготті в аспекті інтертекстуальності. Обґрунтовується висновок
про наявність в оповіданні алюзій на поему Данте Аліґ’єрі «Божественна комедія», другої її частини «Чистилище». Тому головними методами дослідження
були інтертекстуальний, а також типологічний. У статті підкреслюється,
що важливість перегуку оповідання Т. Ліготті саме з цією частиною «Божественной комедії» полягає у тому, що Данте ввів образ чистилища (офіційно
католицька церква визнала його існування вже після його смерті) як образ місця
надії та порятунку, каяття і вибору, де душі тих, хто розкаявся, можуть працювати над своїм остаточним спокутуванням. Все це має відношення до історії головного героя Ліготті. Головна увага автора статті була сконцентрована
на вивченні образної системі твору, а саме – образах оповідача та розповідача,
а також Місс Пік, володарки готелю, перебування в якому мало рокові наслідки для розповідача. Досліджуються опис зовнішності, одягу, рухів персонажів
в обох творах. Робиться висновок про те, що використання алегорій, метафор
і символіки, з поеми Данте дало автору оповідання можливість не тільки розкрити теми спокути, очищення і наслідків гріха, які є головними у творчості
Данте, але й надати подіям та образам свого твору універсального сенсу. Новизна статті полягає у тому, що це перший досвід виявлення ознак звернення
Ліготті до Данте.The purpose of the article is to study the short story by the contemporary American
writer Thomas Ligotti in terms of intertextuality. The conclusion is made that the story
contains allusions to Dante Alighieri’s poem “The Divine Comedy” and its second
part “Purgatory”. Therefore, the main methods of the study were intertextual and story with this part of the Divine Comedy lies in the fact that Dante introduced the
image of Purgatory (officially, the Catholic Church recognized its existence after his
death) as an image of a place of hope and salvation, repentance and choice, where
the souls of the repentant can work on their final redemption. All this is relevant to
the story of the protagonist Ligotti. The main attention of the author of the article was
focused on the study of the figurative system of the work, namely, the images of the
narrator and the narrator, as well as Miss Peak, the owner of the hotel, whose stay
had fatal consequences for the narrator. The description of the appearance, clothing,
and movements of the characters in both works is studied. It is concluded that the use
of allegories, metaphors and symbolism from Dante’s poem gave the author of the
story the opportunity not only to reveal the themes of atonement, purification and the
consequences of sin, which are central to Dante’s work, but also to give the events and
images of his work a universal meaning. The novelty of the article lies in the fact that
this is the first experience of identifying signs of Ligotti’s appeal to Dante
Author’s world in Thomas Ligotti’s short story “The music of the moon”
No full textМета статті – дослідження характеру авторського світу, вираженого в оповіданні Томаса Ліготті «Місячна музика». Відправною точкою у статті є розуміння авторського світу як відповіді письменника на основний для нього комплекс проблем дійсності, яку він відтворює у творі за допомогою художніх прийомів і засобів. Авторський світ завжди ґрунтується на певних художніх засадах і зумовлений будовою душі письменника, а також специфічними для цього письменника особливостями художнього мислення.
Oсновний метод дослідження у статті – типологічний. Оповідання Т. Ліготті вивчено шляхом зіставлення його з твором іншого автора, Едогави Рампо, «Чарівні чари місяця». Твори схожі суб’єктивною формою оповіді, збігами в образах оповідачів, часом і місцем дії. В обох творах схожі сюжетні мотиви. І водночас між цими творами існує принципова різниця: один із них є фантастичним, у ньому містична фантастика, а інший – детективним оповіданням, у якому все таємниче мотивується діями злочинця.
На основі виокремлення головної відмінності між оповіданнями Т. Ліготті та Е. Рампо у статті пропонується висновок про продуктивність типологічного вивчення літератури як шляху до дослідження авторського світу.The purpose of the article is to study the nature of the author’s world as expressed in Thomas Ligotti’s short story «Moonlight Music». The starting point of the article is the understanding of the author’s world as the writer’s response to the main set of problems of reality, which he reproduces in the work with the help of artistic techniques and means. The author’s world is always based on certain artistic principles and is conditioned by the structure of the writer’s soul, as well as by the peculiarities of artistic thinking specific to this writer.
The main method of research in the article is typological. The story by T. Ligotti is studied by comparing it with the work of another author, Edogawa Rampo, «The Magic Spell of the Moon». The works are similar in the subjective form of narration, coincidences in the characters of the narrators, time and place of action. Both works have similar plot motifs. At the same time, there is a fundamental difference between these works: one of them is a fantasy, mystical fiction, and the other is a detective story in which every thing mysterious is motivated by the actions of the criminal. On the basis of highlighting the main difference between the stories of T. Ligotti and E. Rampo, the article offers a conclusion about the productivity of the typological study of literature as a way to study the author’s world
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
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
