Attic portraits of the roman period (1st c. B.C - 2nd A.D): typology, function and production
No full textThis thesis collects and examines the sculptured portraits (imperial and private, male and female) found in Attica and dated from the 1st c. B.C. to the beginning of the 2nd c. A.D. The first part of this study is dedicated to the typology of the portraits. Firstly the imperial ones and their relationship to the official typology of the metropolitan imperial portraits is discussed. Concerning private portraits, the data gathered suggests the use of general design templates/models, the “schemata” that were used by the artists as the core of the plastic creation and were modified according to the different hairstyle and individual motives, producing a variety of private portraits. Although the use of 12 ‘schemata’ for male and 3 for female private portraits has been ascertained, there are, nevertheless, several private portraits that cannot follow this categorization, therefore, they are dealt as unique cases. Next, the body types adopted for the attic portraits are discussed. A close look at the data indicates the wide diffusion of the cuirassed type, the limited representation in the toga statue type and the idealistic types, the connection between the seated statues and the first schema of male portraits and the rare documentation of the himation types and the otherwise widely preferred, during these times, Grand and Small Herculaneum types, as well as the Schulter- and Hüftbausch types, for the women. As far as the form of the portraits is concerned, this thesis propounds the view that there is a preference for the most idealistic youthfull schema on the funerary relief, a gradually rising preference for the bust-portraits, the existence of portraits to be inserted into herm shafts and the occasional rendering of portraits on medallions. Furthermore, the role of the portraits– that is cult, dedicatory/honorary, funerary – is examined according to the inscriptions, although they cannot be combined with any of our portraits. In addition, issues relevant to the production of the attic portraits are presented namely, their technical and stylistic features and their relation to the attic sculptural production of the time and the Delian portraits. The location of the workshops, as can be resumed from the published excavated areas as well as the specification of the Athenian artists who made portraits, as we know them from their signatures or from stylistic association among the studied archaeological material is also examined. At the end, an index provides indicative attributions of portraits to the attic sculptural workshops.Στη διατριβή εξετάζονται τα γλυπτά πορτρέτα (αυτοκρατορικά και ιδιωτικά, ανδρικά και γυναικεία), που βρέθηκαν στην Αττική και χρονολογούνται από τον 1ο αι. π.Χ. έως τις αρχές του 2ου αι. μ.Χ. Στο πρώτο μέρος, όπου εξετάζεται η τυπολογία των πορτρέτων, μελετώνται αρχικά τα αυτοκρατορικά πορτρέτα και η σχέση τους με τους επίσημους εικονιστικούς τύπους των μητροπολιτικών έργων. Στα ιδιωτικά πορτρέτα ανιχνεύεται η χρήση γενικών σχεδιαστικών προτύπων, των «σχημάτων», που χρησίμευαν ως βάση των γλυπτών δημιουργιών και τα οποία παραλλάσσονταν με την εναλλαγή κομμώσεων και επιμέρους μοτίβων με αποτέλεσμα να παράγεται η ποικιλία των ιδιωτικών πορτρέτων. Διαπιστώθηκε η χρήση 12 σχημάτων για τα ανδρικά πορτρέτα και 3 για τα γυναικεία καθώς και ύπαρξη πορτρέτων που δεν μπορούν να ενταχθούν σε κάποιο σχήμα, αλλά αποτελούν μοναδικές δημιουργίες. Στη συνέχεια εξετάζονται οι αγαλματικοί τύποι που χρησιμοποιούνται στην Aττική για τα εικονιστικά αγάλματα. Διαπιστώνεται η μεγάλη διάδοση του τύπου του θωρακοφόρου, η μικρή διάδοση του τύπου του τηβεννοφόρου και ιδεαλιστικών τύπων, ο συσχετισμός των καθιστών μορφών με το πρώτο σχήμα ανδρικών πορτρέτων, η αποσπασματικά τεκμηριωμένη παρουσία των ιματιοφόρων αγαλμάτων και των συνηθισμένων για την εποχή γυναικείων αγαλματικών τύπων της Μεγάλης και Μικρής Ηρακλειώτισσας, και του τύπου με Schulter- ή Hüftbausch. Ως προς τη μορφή των πορτρέτων, παρατηρήθηκε στα επιτύμβια ανάγλυφα η προτίμηση στο πιο ιδεαλιστικό, νεανικό σχήμα, η ύπαρξη αυτοκρατορικών πορτρέτων σε ανάγλυφο, η σταδιακά αυξανόμενη προτίμηση στη μορφή της προτομής και η ύπαρξη πορτρέτων για ένθεση σε ερμαϊκές στήλες καθώς και η περιστασιακή απόδοση πορτρέτων σε μετάλλια. Κατόπιν εξετάζεται ο ρόλος των πορτρέτων – λατρευτικός, αναθηματικός – τιμητικός, επιτύμβιος - με βάση τις πληροφορίες που αντλούμε από τις επιγραφές, αν και αυτές δε συνδυάζονται με σωζόμενα πορτρέτα. Κατόπιν παρουσιάζονται ζητήματα σχετικά με την παραγωγή των πορτρέτων: τα τεχνικά και τεχνοτροπικά τους χαρακτηριστικά, η αναλογία τους σε σχέση με τα άλλα είδη γλυπτικής και με τα πορτρέτα της Δήλου, η αναζήτηση των εργαστηριακών χώρων, όπως προκύπτει από δημοσιευμένα ανασκαφικά δεδομένα, και ο προσδιορισμός των Αθηναίων καλλιτεχνών που φιλοτέχνησαν πορτρέτα στα χρόνια που μελετούμε, όπως τους γνωρίζουμε από τις υπογραφές τους αλλά και από τεχνοτροπικούς συσχετισμούς που γίνονται με βάση το μελετώμενο υλικό. Τέλος, παρατίθεται σύντομο παράρτημα με ενδεικτικές αποδόσεις πορτρέτων στα αττικά εργαστήρια παραγωγής
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
