'Il durevole segno luminoso’. Vittorio Bodini e Rafael Alberti
Full text linkIl saggio approfondisce, anche attraverso lo studio di lettere e altri documenti inediti, il rapporto di amicizia e collaborazione artistica che lega il poeta e traduttore salentino Vittorio Bodini (1914-1970) e il poeta andaluso Rafael Alberti (1902-1999), intensificatosi a Roma fra il 1963, inizio dell’esilio italiano di Alberti, e il 1970, anno della prematura scomparsa di Bodini. Già dalle primissime fasi appare chiaro che il loro non è un semplice rapporto fra traduttore e autore, ma si tratta, piuttosto, della relazione fra un poeta e un altro poeta, o meglio fra uno scrittore ancora in cerca della sua voce più autentica e quello che egli considera un suo ‘fratello maggiore’. Il motivo della meridionalità, per esempio, con tutto il suo portato di cromatismi, penombre, il suo «sentimento drammatico dell’amore e dell’odio» – sono parole di Alberti – è uno dei tratti che accomunano le loro opere.This essay deepens, also through the study of letters and other unpublished documents, the relationship of friendship and artistic collaboration that binds the poet and traslator from Salento Vittorio Bodini (1914-1970) and the andalusian poet Rafael Alberti (1902-1999), intensified between 1963, the beginning of Alberti’s Italian exile, and 1970, the year of the untimely death of Bodini. From the beginning it is clear that is not a simple relationship between a traslator and an author, but rather the relationship between a poet and another poet, or rather between a writer still in search of his most authentic voice and the he regards as his ‘big brother’. The motif of the merionality, for exampe, with all its colors, its dimness, its “dramatic feeling of love and hatred” -these are Alberti’s words- is one of the features that unite their works
«Ti prometto che tornerò»: il sodalizio Valli-Comi
Full text linkEnThe essay reviews the numerous studies that Donato Valli has dedicated over the years to the Salentine poet Girolamo Comi (1890-1968), making a decisive contribution to the understanding and enhancement of his poetry. Valli's critical interventions are based not only on the thorough and precise analysis of Comi's works, but also on the direct, almost daily, attendance of the baronial palace of Lucugnano, at the time the seat of the «Accademia salentina», an outpost, deep inside South, of the best Italian culture after World War II. Valli was welcomed into that exclusive environment already at a very young age, and from there, as he recalled in his late essay-memorial, Chiamami maestro. Vita e scrittura con Girolamo Comi (2008), he will begin his literary vocation.ItNel saggio si passano in rassegna i numerosi studi che Donato Valli ha dedicato nel tempo al poeta salentino Girolamo Comi (1890-1968), contribuendo in maniera decisiva alla comprensione e alla valorizzazione della sua poesia. Gli interventi critici di Valli si basano, oltre che sull'approfondita e puntuale analisi delle opere di Comi, anche sulla frequentazione diretta, quasi quotidiana, del palazzo baronale di Lucugnano, all'epoca sede dell'«Accademia salentina», avamposto, nel profondo Sud, della migliore cultura italiana del secondo dopoguerra. Valli venne accolto in quell'ambiente esclusivo già in giovanissima età, e proprio da lì, come ricorderà nel tardo saggio-memorale Chiamami maestro. Vita e scrittura con Girolamo Comi (2008), inizierà la sua vocazione letteraria
Tradurre Montale: la sfida anglo-americana alla (in)traducibilità della sua poesia
No full textIl saggio analizza le traduzioni inglesi e americani della poesia di Montale
"Pinocchio" vs. "Cuore". Pedagogia dell'esempio o esperienza educativa?
No full textIl saggio confronta due modelli pedagogici: quello paternalista e prescrittivo adottato da De Amicis in "Cuore", che fa leva sull'esempio da emulare, e quello indulgente additato da Collodi, che si fonda invece sul valore educativo e autocorrettivo delle scelte sbagliate. Scostandomi, inoltre, dalla tesi dei due diversi progetti editoriali, che tende a separare l'iniziale "Storia di un burattino", con finale tragico, dalle "Avventure di Pinocchio", venute a patti con le attese edificanti del pubblico, dimostro inoltre la perfetta coerenza e linearità dell'unica costruzione narrativa e la calcolata gradualità della formazione del protagonista
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
