Jorge Luis Borges e “Etcétera”
No full textEste ensaio curto discute o caráter das traduções realizadas por Jorge Luis Borges para o livro Historia universal de la infamia sob o título de “Etcétera”, relacionando-as com a reflexão do autor, sobretudo no ensaio Los traductores de Las mil y una noches, quando procura intervir no conceito de tradução e mostrar como as “piores” são as “fiéis” e “literais”. A seção “Etcétera” é formada por cinco textos da primeira edição de 1935, e um sexto, da edição de 1954.This short essay discusses the characteristics of the translations achieved by Jorge Luis Borges for A Universal history of Infamy under the title of "Et cetera", closing them to the reflection of the author, especially in the essay "The Translators of the One Thousand and One Nights" when he tries to intervene in the concept of translation and to show how "worst" are "faithful" and "literal". The section "Et cetera " is formed by five texts of the first edition of 1935 and by another one, published in the second edition of 1954
Disfarces do invisível, duplicações da história na obra de Ricardo Piglia
Full text linkPara o estudo da obra de Ricardo Piglia partiu-se de uma dupla concepção da estrutura formal do conto, delineada pelo próprio autor sobretudo no ensaio “Teses sobre o conto??? (O Laboratório do escritor), para estendê-la como fundamento de toda a sua produção ficcional. Sob esse aspecto, são objeto de análise os contos “O preço do amor??? (1975) e “O fluir da vida??? (1988) ? no Brasil, publicados em Prisão perpétua ? e os romances Respiração artificial (1980), A Cidade ausente (1992) e Dinheiro queimado (1997).
Abstract
The study on the Ricardo Piglia’s work arose from a double conception of the short story’s formal structure, delineated by the author himself especially in the essay “Tesis sobre el cuento??? (Formas breves), to extend it as the principle of his fictional production. Under this aspect, the short stories “El precio del amor??? (1975) and “El fluir de la vida??? (1988) are objects of analysis as well as the novels Respiración artificial (1980), La ciudad ausente (1992) and Plata quemada (1997)
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
Literatura comparada a partir del emblema del cristal
Full text linkLas obras de Jorge Luis Borges y Ramón Gómez de la Serna, tan dispares entre sí, fueron
unificadas y sintetizadas por medio del emblema del cristal en el ensayo "Exactitud" (Seis
propuestas para el próximo milenio) de Italo Calvino. El objetivo aquí es profundizar lo que en el
ensayo de Calvino es una sugerencia para, enseguida, evaluar cuáles son los cambios y las
implicaciones críticas de esta nueva mirada para el campo de la literatura comparada. Al elegir un
símbolo plástico-literario, que conciliaría regularidad espacial, fuerte noción estética, limpidez y
claridad, Calvino subsume la importancia del estudio de las fuentes e influencias, del contacto
entre los escritores y sus lecturas recíprocas, de las diferencias y determinaciones nacionales, del
valor que ocupan en la literatura universal y de las analogías, de las ideas de parentesco y de
filiación en un modo de observación común entre ciertos escritores. Modo de observación preciso,
aunque múltiple; finito, aunque con vistas al infinito, con predilección por las formas geométricas,
las simetrías, series, combinaciones, proporciones numéricas. El contraste de las obras no se
daría directamente, sino por una especie de triángulo que se reporta a ellas y al emblema del
cristal. Parte de esta lectura triangular es ejemplificada en los libros Historia universal de la
infamia de Borges y Doña Juana la loca, Superhistoria de Ramón Gómez de la Serna.Centro de Estudios de Teoría y Crítica Literari
