The Nature of Author Relevance in Literary Interpretation
Full text linkOne ongoing debate in literary interpretation focuses on the relevance (or not) of the author to interpreting a literary work‟s meaning. Traditionally the dominant opposing positions in this debate are intentionalism, where the author‟s intentions are relevant to and even determinate of meaning, and (strong) anti-intentionalism, where the author is in no way relevant to interpretation. In this thesis I demonstrate that these two positions do not form a straightforward opposition. I show that this arises from a dialectical mixing of metaphysical claims and methodological claims. For example, if an intentionalist argues that the meaning of a work is metaphysically determined by its author‟s intentions then the anti-intentionalist response may be that accessing the author‟s actual intentions are methodologically impossible for the interpreter. Resulting from this I frame the debate in terms of metaphysical questions of meaning and methodological questions of interpretation. In my discussion of the metaphysics of meaning I show that there is at least a minimal sense in which the author is relevant to the meaning of a work. I argue that there are features of the work that the author, due to his or her historical and geographical context, could not help but have included in it, and in this sense the author limits the meaning of a work. Following this, my discussion of the methodology of interpretation argues that a reasonable regulatory question for interpretive practice is: what could the author possibly mean? Finally I consider my conclusions in relation to the most recent positions in the debate, showing that they are best reflected in Alexander Nehamas‟ “postulated author”
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
Prosthodontic management of a patient with Gardner′s syndrome: A clinical case report
No full textGardner′s syndrome is a genetic condition demonstrating an autosomal dominant trait and characterized by the multiple colonic polyps (familial adenomatous polyposis coli) with sebaceous cysts and jaw osteomas. Various dental abnormalities present in patient′s suffering with this syndrome includes multiple impacted or unerupted teeth, supernumerary teeth, hypodontia, compound odontomes and dentigerous cyst. In this case report, a patient with Gardner′s syndrome who suffered from functional and psychological problems owing to multiple impacted, unerupted teeth and hypodontia was presented. Patient was treated with a maxillary conventional overdenture opposing mandibular custom bar supported overdentures
Gardner′s syndrome: A case report and review of literature
No full textGardner syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant syndrome that follows a positive course with diagnosis and treatment by medical and dental specialists. General dental physicians can diagnose the syndrome through radiological images taken in addition to dental and skeletal findings. In this article a 45-year-old male patient with previously undiagnosed Gardner′s syndrome who presented for removal of painful mobile tooth is reported to illustrate the importance of detection and proper referral
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
