“The Tone or the Letter?”: Tommaso Landolfi as Translator of Russian Poetry between Renato Poggioli and Angelo Maria Ripellino
Full text linkThis article delves into Tommaso Landolfi’s evolving translation strategies in regard to Russian poetry, with a particular focus on the influence exerted on him by two Italian slavists and translators, Renato Poggioli and Angelo Maria Ripellino. During the initial phase of Landolfi’s activity, the profound influence of Renato Poggioli becomes evident. This is exemplified by Landolfi’s translations from the 1930s and 1940s, as well as the rigid prescriptions expressed in his reviews of books translated by others. Subsequently, Landolfi undergoes a phase of re-evaluation, as evidenced by his review of Ripellino’s ‘literal’ translations and, most notably, by his first volume of translations of Pushkin (Einaudi 1960). In this book, Landolfi explores a wide range of strategies, particularly regarding the metrical organisation of the texts, without adhering to one specific approach. Ultimately, in his last two books of translations, Landolfi successfully amalgamates the contrasting models of Poggioli and Ripellino, culminating in the development of his own distinctive strategy
I TRIFOGLI DELLO SCRIGNO DI CIPRESSO. PER UNO STUDIO DELLA POESIA DI INNOKENTIJ ANNENSKIJ
No full textIl lavoro propone uno studio della poesia di Innokentij Fëdorovič Annenskij (1855-1909). Nella prima parte della tesi si ripercorrono le tappe fondamentali della biografia letteraria dell’autore ed è analizzata la fortuna editoriale della sua opera in Russia (1910-2020), indagando i modi in cui le edizioni postume della poesia hanno influenzato e orientato la ricezione di Annenskij presso i lettori russi. La seconda parte consiste nella traduzione e nel commento delle poesie dei Trifogli, la prima, più cospicua sezione della raccolta più importante del poeta, Lo scrigno di cipresso (1910). L’obiettivo è quello di offrire un commento sistematico dei testi che, pur senza distorcere l’ambiguità connaturata alla poetica annenskiana, miri a colmarne almeno in parte la nedoskazannost’, il non detto. Per questo motivo, le poesie non sono ricondotte entro i limiti di una lettura univoca, bensì sono aperte a diverse possibili interpretazioni. Particolare attenzione è riservata all’organicità dello Scrigno di cipresso come “libro di versi”, e soprattutto al principio unitario di ciclizzazione che organizza i testi dei Trifogli: interpretando le poesie, viene dato ampio spazio alla fitta trama di richiami interni e “nessi associativi” che legano le liriche e i cicli della sezione.The thesis proposes a study of the poetry of Innokenty Annensky (1855-1909). The first part of the dissertation delineates the most significant milestones in the author’s “literary biography”, while also scrutinizing Annensky’s reception in Russia through the analysis of his poetry’s posthumous editions (1910-2020). The following part comprises a translation and commentary on the poems from the Trefoils, the most prominent section of Annensky’s seminal collection, The Cypress Chest (1910). The objective is to provide a comprehensive commentary on the texts, while maintaining fidelity to the inherent ambiguity of Annensky’s poetics. Consequently, the poems are not confined within the boundaries of univocal interpretations but are presented as open to diverse hermeneutic approaches. Special emphasis is placed on the cohesive structure of The Cypress Chest as an organic collection, particularly focusing on the overarching cyclicality that orchestrates the texts of the Trefoils. Interpretations of the poems prioritize exploration of the intricate network of internal references and associative connections interwoven within this section
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
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
