The Uniqueness Of Death In Bimal Kar\u27s Short Stories/ বিমল করের ছোটগল্পে মৃত্যুর অনন্যতা
No full textBimal Kar, a renowned writer of the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, holds a unique position in the history of Bengali literary practice with his philosophy of literature and distinct perception of life. Eschewing complexity in writing and rising above the use of complicated language, he presents the loneliness of the individual flowing in the muddy currents of life, the fulfillment of self-interest, psychological transformations, the silent footsteps of sin, and the all-consuming hunger of death through a simple arrangement of sentences. He perceived the distance between life and death through his own experiences and deep self-realization. Hence, in much of his creative thought, the subject of death has emerged as an aid to the complete development of life awareness. Though there is grief in that death, it does not exceed the bounds of restraint. Not only physical death but death in its multifaceted form has appeared in his writings. In short stories such as ‘Atmaja’, ‘Janani’, ‘Teen Premik O Bhuban’, ‘Apeksha’, ‘Agurlata’, ‘Nishad’, ‘Ambikacharaner Mrityu’, and many others, the theme of death has been raised multiple times. However, not all deaths are merely physical; the mental degeneration of the individual, the decay of values, and the demise of ethics are largely spread across his stories. The story "Atmaja" begins with a beautiful relationship between a father and daughter but ends with the death of the father, Himanshu. Himanshu chooses the path of suicide. The sequence of events in the entire story has accelerated the cause-and-effect relationship of Himanshu\u27s suicidal intent. His discord with Yuthika has increased the distance in their relationship, marking the decline of their marital bond. Yuthika\u27s inferiority complex has led to the mental demise of Yuthika\u27s mindset, while her distorted behavior has advanced the positivity of Himanshu\u27s mind towards death. Again, in stories like "Janani" and "Teen Premik O Bhuban", paths to recovery from grief are discovered. There is undoubtedly sorrow in death, but what is the path to recovery from grief? The author has expressed this through his philosophical reflections in those stories. After their mother\u27s death, the children wish to offer their mother, on her heavenly journey, certain qualities that she had lost due to the harsh conflicts of real life. In the discussed stories, the author shows the way to overcome grief by completing the mother\u27s fragmented soul after her death. In the similar story "Teen Premik O Bhuban", Shivani\u27s three lovers offer their long-held remorse to the flames of her pyre. By sacrificing their self-pride before Shivani\u27s pyre, their self-criticism and self-analysis help them rise above the burning power of grief. In the story \u27Apeksha \u27 there is a person waiting for the death of a person. The story of \u27Anguralata\u27 depicts the picture of social degradation. The story of \u27Idur \u27 is a sharp analysis of the author\u27s realistic social thinking and the everyday crisis of people\u27s lives. In the story "Nishad" too, the inevitability of death is victorious. In addition, stories like "Sunya", "Sudhamoy", "Janoar", etc., also portray death with a sense of change. Indeed, Bimal Kar\u27s entire imaginative creation is interspersed with a subtle analysis of life perspectives. Not denying death, but by accepting it, enjoying the path between life and death is essential, this realization has illuminated him with the consciousness of death
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
Romanticism and Shakti Chattopadhyay’s poetry/ রোমান্টিসিজম ও শক্তি চট্টোপাধ্যায়ের কবিতা
No full textRomanticism emerged in Western literature in the early 18th century, in opposition to classicism. One of the main foundations of which was nature consciousness, nature love, spirituality, love and despair and past conduct. Romanticism had a major impact on Western literature after the publication of Lyrical Ballads by William Wordsworth and Coleridge in 1798. As a result of which the romantic poets of that time tried to create a separate world based on their poetry. Wordsworth brought the natural beauty of nature into his poetic thought. Coleridge took his poetry into a mystical world. Another characteristic of Romanticism in Shelley\u27s poetry was spontaneous lyricism. And Keats brought pictorials into his poetry. However, Romanticism had a direct impact not only on Western literature but also on Eastern literature. Just as the vibration of romanticism is heard in the creative thought of Rabindranath, the clear influence of romanticism is also seen in the creative thought of the poets after Rabindra. Just as Rabindranath Tagore\u27s poems like \u27Manasi\u27, \u27Sonar Tari\u27, \u27Chitra\u27, \u27Chaitali\u27 are characterized by romanticism, in the case of modern Bengali poetry, echoes of romantic spirit are heard again and again in Jibanananda Das\u27s\u27 Jhara Palak \u27,\u27 Dhusar Pandulipi \u27,\u27 Banalata Sen \u27,\u27 Maha Prithibi \u27, in the poetry collections of Buddhadeb Basu such as \u27Kankabati\u27, \u27Draupadi\u27s Sari\u27, in the poems of Samir Sen, in Subhash Mukhopadhyay\u27s poetry collections like \u27 Ful futuk na futuk aj Basanta\u27, ‘Jato durei jay\u27, \u27Kal Madhumas\u27, and in Sunil Gangopadhyay\u27s collections like \u27 Hotat Nirar jonno\u27, \u27 Vorer upohar ’, etc., can repeatedly hear the echoes of romantic consciousness.
Although it is not easy to imbue the color of romantic beauty in the colorlessness of modern life. Yet, modern poets have sought to infuse the flower of romanticism in the heart of the citizen\u27s consciousness. And one of those who was able to spread the softness of romanticism in this land of harsh reality is Shakti Chattopadhyay. His poetry has echoes of Romanticism. He has used various natural resources as materials for his poetry. He wanted to realize the divine presence in the eternity of nature\u27s natural beauty. In his poetry, the pursuit of the beauty of nature has become the name of divine pursuit. Just as the melancholy, loneliness, despair and alienation of the urban people have found a place in his poetry, love has also played a very important role in his poetry, which has been manifested in the natural context. Nature can only perfect the inadequacies and inefficiencies of individual life. So the poet, tired of the stresses of life, has repeatedly called the reader into nature because this place is not for humans, only God exists here
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
