Nachgedanken zur Übersetzung des ersten Bandes von Humboldts „Kosmos“
Full text linkRésumé
La traduction en langue chinoise du premier volume du monumental ouvrage scientifique d'Alexander von Humboldt, intitulé «Cosmos», a vu le jour en 2023 sous l՚égide de la prestigieuse maison d՚édition de l՚Université de Pékin. Dans sa postface éclairée, la traductrice émérite, Gao Hong, éclaire la lanterne des lecteurs chinois sur la fresque cosmique esquissée par Humboldt, révélant ainsi les intrications entre les phénomènes naturels et leur pertinence à l՚échelle de l'univers tout entier. Gao Hong narre son propre périple aux côtés de Humboldt, tout en distillant ses réflexions personnelles sur cette fresque cosmique. «Cosmos» d՚Humboldt, œuvre scientifique par excellence, transcende également les sphères esthétiques et artistiques, exprimant invariablement une profonde vénération pour l՚univers. Restituer en chinois la «beauté géométrique» de la langue allemande, empreinte d՚une rigueur structurelle, constitue un défi singulier, le chinois se caractérisant par sa fluidité, sa souplesse et sa poésie imagée, en totale antithèse avec l՚allemand. En qualité de traducteur, il importe de naviguer librement entre ces deux mondes linguistiques distincts.
Summary
In 2023, the first translation of Alexander von Humboldt՚s work “Kosmos”, Volume I, into Chinese was published by Peking University Press. In the afterword, translated here into German, translator Gao Hong familiarizes Chinese readers with the characteristics of Humboldt՚s “description of the world,” which presents natural phenomena in their interrelationships and their connection with the universe as a whole. Gao Hong describes her own journey in Humboldt՚s footsteps and her fascination with this nature painting, which also meets the highest aesthetic standards and is designed to promote awe towards the cosmos. Transmitting the “geometric beauty” of this language is a particular challenge because the flowing, pictorial structure of Chinese is almost contrary to the strict regulations of German. As a translator you have to move freely between the two worlds.
概要
亚里山大·洪堡的科学巨著《宇宙》第一卷的中文译本于2023年由北京大学出版社出版。在译后记中，译者高虹向中国读者介绍了洪堡笔下的宇宙画卷，这幅画卷展示出自然现象之间的相互关系以及它们与整个宇宙的相关性。高虹讲述了自己追随洪堡的旅程以及她个人对这幅宇宙画卷的欣赏与思考。洪堡的《宇宙》是一部科学著作，但同时也呈现出极高的美学境界与水准，它无处不在表达对宇宙的敬畏。在中文翻译中再现德语语言拥有严谨结构的“几何美”是一个特殊的挑战，因为汉语流畅，灵动，充满意境之美，与德语的特点完全相反。作为译者必须要在两个语言世界之间自由转换
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
