: An Analytic Overview
No full textDe Trinitate is the culmination of the Ricardine corpus. Where many of Richard’s earlier works address discrete theological questions, De Trinitate integrates previous findings into a single, sustained case. The heart of the treatise is Richard’s argument for three, and only three, divine persons. The spiritual, psychological, and intellective aims of De Trinitate are best achieved if its constitutive arguments are sound, and we must grasp its arguments to fully appreciate the treatise. Its clarity and the simplicity of its prose has, unfortunately, led many to consider De Trinitate too superficially. Yet, the treatise develops a serious, subtle progression of arguments – all of which require a serious and sophisticated reading. To help us achieve such a reading, this chapter provides a step-by-step outline of the core trinitarian argument. Accompanying the analytic précis is some exposition and defense at key points along the way
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
Causa omnium homo. Ugo di San Vittore e la nuova antropologia: fra monaci e canonici sulle due rive del Reno
No full textThe studies of Marie-Dominique Chenu and Yves Congar in the 1950s focused on the importance of the change of perspective in considering man’s creation between XI and XII century. Before then, man was thought of as a “spare part” for the celestial city: some angels had fallen, and God had replaced them with the creation of man. After this turning point, man was considered the summit of the creation – even more so because of the Incarnation. The ecclesiological – that is, ecclesiastical and social – consequences were deep and wide. Historiography has often insisted on the role the school of Laon, and in general the regular canons, have had in this development. Actually Hugh of St. Victor seems to have played a central role in these changes, in particular due to his studies in the lands east of the Rhine, before he settled in Paris. It was in Germany that the theme of the centrality of man in the creation emerged and spread especially in the network of the Benedictine reform of Hirsau. To be more precise, this kind of speculation was developed there thanks to the spreading in the lands of the Empire of the writings by the pseudo-Areopagite and by his commentator John Scotus Eriugena
La influencia de Ricardo de San Víctor en la noción de persona de Duns Escoto
No full textEl filósofo que revoluciona en el medioevo el concepto de persona, en su intento de superar la visión naturalista boeciana, es sin duda alguna Ricardo de San Víctor, quien incorpora la noción de existencia incomunicable en dicha definición. En efecto, Ricardo de San Víctor (1110-1175) da un giro a la definición inicial de Boecio (basada en la categoría de sustancia) e introduce en su obra De Trinitate una definición que busca liberarse de lo estático del enfoque metafísico y otorgar dinamicidad a aquello que quiera nombrarse persona. Un siglo después, Juan Duns Escoto recupera esta definición para llevar adelante su propia reflexión sobre uno de los conceptos más transformadores del pensamiento cristiano. En efecto, la noción de persona, tan cara para la filosofía como para el derecho, halla una importante novedad en los aportes que Ricardo de San Víctor primeramente y luego Juan Duns Escoto, hacen al respecto. Mi propósito es indagar efectivamente en qué aspectos la posición de Ricardo de San Víctor se encuentra presente en las obras escotistas, y sistematizar dicha presencia en este escrito.Fil: Elías, Gloria Silvana.

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
