Dispatrio come morte e rinascita. Julio Monteiro Martins tra Brasile e Italia
No full textThe works of Julio Monteiro Martins are analyzed in relation to the exile’s experience with an assessment of the elements of continuity between his Brazilian and Italian production. Despite the author’s reference to his own migration as a «controlled suicide» and rebirth, an evolving line can be traced in his fiction in the persistence of similar themes, narrative structures, and stylistic conven- tions, even if it is clear that working during the period of dictatorship period and as an exponent of the novíssima literatura brasileira, the author had di erent priorities than when he was living as an intellectual in Italy. Therefore both Portuguese and Italian short stories are compared and examined, as well as his experimental novel madrelingua, with particular attention to Monteiro Martin’s aptitude for combining long and short narrative and di erent literary traditions

Sagarana in Italia, una rivista e un mondo
No full textPartendo da considerazioni generali sulle testimonianze e testi letterari scritti da soggetti che nell’ultimo cinquantennio sono stati protagonisti di processi migratori conclusisi in Italia, si analizza la vicenda di Julio Monteiro Martins, arrivato dal Brasile in Italia nel 1996, fondatore della rivista online Sagarana, che con i suoi scritti, letterari e saggistici, e la sua attività di mediatore culturale ha arricchito la cultura e la letteratura italiane.
Starting from a general discussion about written records and literary texts from individuals whohave been the leading figures of the migratory processes concluded in Italy in the last fifty years, we will analyze the story of Julio Monteiro Martins, who arrived in 1996 from Brazil in Italy where he founded the online magazine Sagarana. We will also present his activity as a cultural mediator and explain how he has enriched Italian culture and literature through his literary andnon-fictional writings
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
