    Elogio della poesia. Versi e saggi di Olga Sedakova. Traduzione e commento di Francesca Chessa

    No full text
    I saggi, discorsi e versi di Olga Sedakova, selezionati in questo volume, offrono uno spaccato della Russia nel periodo sovietico tra il 1980 e il 1990. In questi scritti emerge sempre la poetessa che ne attende la fine e ne avverte prossimo il crollo. “Per Olga Sedakova, e con lei i poeti e gli artisti del disgelo chrušceviano, alla fine degli anni Sessanta essere contemporanei significò essere inattuali: esclusi dai circuiti ufficiali fin quasi alla perestrojka, esiliati nel loro proprio paese, scoprivano di avere insospettati compagni d’esilio nei grandi lirici russi del secolo d’argento e di essere contemporanei della tradizione lirica europea.” (Adalberto Mainardi). Il volume contiene un saggio autobiografico, una introduzione al suo Elogio della poesia. Inoltre tra i cicli poetici preferiti, il Viaggio in Cina e alcuni Saggi su Dante. Nella lettura di tre Canti dell’Inferno (c. XII-XIII-XIV), secondo Olga Sedakova, Dante ci presenta allegoricamente il sistema politico del suo tempo perché fosse possibile riconoscere i tiranni del nostro tempo, e di ogni tempo, prefigurati dai terribili assassini di quel cerchio. Ha scritto di lei la slavista americana Stephanie Sandler: “Esiste un poeta al mondo che in qualsiasi lingua raggiunga un equilibrio così perfetto tra la conoscenza profonda della tradizione e il coraggio nell'invenzione di una parola nuova? Olga Sedakova, in questo, non ha pari.”. Olga Sedakova (1949): oltre che poetessa moscovita, è docente alla Facoltà di Filosofia dell'Università Statale di Mosca “Lomonosov”, e membro dell’Accademia delle Scienze di Mosca. Attualmente in Italia collabora con l’Università Cattolica di Milano, con la Biblioteca Ambrosiana e con la Fondazione Russia Cristiana. Dal 2007, è Visiting professor nell’Università degli Studi di Sassari, a più riprese. Comunque, come premiatissima poetessa e come docente di grande erudizione, si ricollega alla eredità ed alla tradizione del pensiero russo, soprattutto quello del XX secolo in una sintesi letteraria e filosofica di vasto respiro.In Praise of Poetry, the autobiographical title essay here, is a wonderful introduction to Olga Sedakova the Russian poet, writer and witness to the decline, fall and aftermath of the Soviet period. Journey to a distant and enduringly noble place with her poem Chinese Journey. Experience the Power of Happiness. Accept a wonderful companion as you read Dante's Inferno XII-XIII-XIV. Visit Venice in memory of Brodsky. See an Elegy turn into a Requiem. Feel fortunate to have such a poet among us

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    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
