Strategien des Primitivismus in der modernen russischen Poesie
Get PDFDer Begriff "Primitivismus" wird in verschiedenen kulturellen und künstlerischen Kontexten unterschiedlich verstanden. In der westlichen Kunstgeschichte bezieht sich Primitivismus meist auf die Nachahmung der Kunst afrikanischer und ozeanischer Völker. In Russland orientierte sich der Primitivismus weniger an exotischen Stämmen, sondern vielmehr an einheimischen Quellen wie den halbmythischen Skythen, dem einfachen Volk oder nationalen Kunstformen wie Ikonen und Lubok. In dem Beitrag werden verschiedene Formen von Primitivismus im Schaffen der zeitgenössischen russischen Dichter analysiert. Der Autor beschränkt seine Darstellung auf die Demonstration nur einiger charakteristischer Beispiele und versucht anschließend, eine Typologie aufzustellen
Aesthetic conception of Russian Formalism: the cognitive view
Get PDFAt present the theory of Russian Formalism becomes actual once again owing to the rapid development of cognitive science. Aesthetic theories recently put forward within the framework of cognitive science turned out to be consonant with the Formalist’s views on the general principles of artistic activity. In my paper I argue that (1) the theory of Russian Formalism contains a number of methodological assumptions that are close to a cognitive approach; (2) some of the main principles of the Formalist theory (e.g., “elimination of automatism of perception” or “the dominant”) permit the reformulation into cognitive terms; (3) such reformulation is not only possible, but useful because it makes the theory more powerful for explanation of the artistic phenomena. The findings from the new field of cognitive science not only prove some Formalist theses, but deepen and specify them as well
Die Zaum'-Sprache der russischen Futuristen
Get PDFNach ihrem Aufsehen erregenden Debüt zu Beginn des XX. Jahrhunderts beherrschte Zaum' - die experimentelle poetische Sprache der russischen Futuristen - für kurze Zeit die Diskussion über die Wege der Literaturentwicklung und die Ziele des poetischen Schaffens. Seit der zweiten Hälfte der 20er Jahre, im wesentlichen unter Einwirkung der damaligen politischen Umbrüche, nahm jedoch das Interesse für die linguistischen Experimente der Futuristen ab. Zaum’ wurde größtenteils als eine Episode in der Geschichte der Literatur betrachtet oder gar den literarischen Kuriosa zugerechnet. Wie es scheint, hat die theoretische Bedeutung der Zaum'- Sprache bis heute keine angemessene Würdigung erfahren, trotz der produktiven Ansätze, die hierzu von den russischen Formalisten entwickelt wurden. Diese Arbeit will zeigen, daß Zaum' unmittelbar mit Problemen zusammenhängt, die im Mittelpunkt des Interesses einer ganzen Reihe von Wissenschaften stehen: der Linguistik, der Semiotik, der Kognitions- und Neurowissenschaften etc. Aus einer erweiterten Perspektive stellt Zaum' keine marginale Erscheinung in der Literaturgeschichte dar, sondern kann als einer der zentralen Begriffe für die Erforschung der poetischen Sprache betrachtet werden.After its sensational debut at the beginning of the 20th century, Zaum' – the experimental poetic language of the Russian Futurists – dominated discussions on the development of literature and the goals of poetic creation for a brief period. However, since the second half of the 1920s, largely under the influence of the political upheavals of the time, interest in the linguistic experiments of the Futurists waned. Zaum' was largely seen as an episode in the history of literature or even regarded as a literary curiosity. It seems that the theoretical significance of the Zaum' language has not received adequate recognition to this day, despite the productive approaches developed by the Russian Formalists. This paper aims to show that Zaum' is directly connected to issues that are at the core of a wide range of scientific disciplines: linguistics, semiotics, cognitive science, neuroscience, etc. From a broader perspective, Zaum' is not a marginal phenomenon in literary history, but can be regarded as one of the central concepts for the study of poetic language
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
