    Valerio Magrelli (a cura di), I linguaggi della guerra

    Full text link
    La ricerca sul tema della guerra e la sua rappresentazione letteraria in epoca moderna, oggetto del volume, nasce da una proposta formulata dal professor Nicola Bottiglieri, immediatamente accolta dal Dipartimento di Linguistica degli Studi di Cassino. L’idea traeva spunto da una giornata di studi tenutasi proprio a Cassino nel 2006, e vide via via la configurazione di un progetto che ha dato vita ai quattordici saggi pubblicati. Si tratta dell’indagine su modelli, forme e figure di rappresen..

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    Christine Angot: le desir d’indigner le lecteur : La société violée par l'(auto)fiction

    Full text link
    Christine Angot, “reine de l’autofiction”, met sur la page ses pensées les plus intimes, les expériences extrêmes de son double de papier, à travers une écriture ambiguë qui se contredit et s'annule. En se déclarant homosexuelle et puis homophobe, elle a des propos offensifs, qui font de son écriture un geste d’irrévérence sociale. Le lecteur est ainsi obligé de se poser des questions, sur la notion de “politiquement correct”, sur la société et ses tabous. Nous montrerons que la volonté de provoquer, afin de déclencher une réponse, peut être considérée comme une sorte d’“engagement” post- moderne. Le lectorat, indigné, est obligé de réfléchir sur ses préjugés et de les combattre, même si cela comporte pour l’auteur le risque d’un rejet définitif.Christine Angot, “queen of autofiction”, writes down her most intimate thoughts. Her writing has always been characterised by the ambiguity of its context, renowned for an abundance of contradictions. By declaring herself homosexual and homophobe, her injurious confessions made her writing an example of social irreverence. The reader is obliged to think again and reflect on what society and its restraints consider to be “politically correct”. We will show how her will to shock in order to have a reaction could be considered a kind of post-modernism “engagement” of the writer. The reader is obliged to think about his own prejudices and to fight them, even if there is for the author the risk of a definitive reject

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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 text
    We 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
