„Ich habe […] keine Sonate schreiben wollen, sondern einen Roman“ – zu autoreferenziellen Aspekten von Thomas Manns Doktor Faustus
Full text linkIn the centre of the analysis stands the autoreferential dimension of Thomas Mann’s Doktor Faustus and its relation to the novel’s socio-philosophical message, which, although not free from ironical overtones, tends to be a didactic plea for humanism. However, the main emphasis of the investigation is not the humanist idea itself but, above all, the narrative methods used to infuse this idea with new means of expression. Therefore, the music-motif in the novel is interpreted as a metaphor of an intertextual literary motif. From a metaliterary perspective, the main question in Mann’s partly consistent, yet partly paradoxical art- and soul-study is the following: how can (and should) the Faust-legend be reshaped and interpreted to match the demands of the modern age? The attempt to discuss the ‚national myth‘ in such a new way is made by three authorities: two fictional and one real. The protagonist, Adrian Leverkühn, the first-person narrator, Serenus Zeitblom, and, finally, the author himself, Thomas Mann, each in turn, whether wilfully or unconsciously, offers their own art-concept. To a great extent, the general semantic picture of the story told in Faustus is determined by various distinctions between the intratextual ideological confrontation ‚Leverkühn vs. Zeitblom‘ and the extratextual outside-perspective of the author, who stays paramount to the novel-figures. My article attends to the narratological as well as the philosophical decoding of this overall-picture.In the centre of the analysis stands the autoreferential dimension of Thomas Mann’s Doktor Faustus and its relation to the novel’s socio-philosophical message, which, although not free from ironical overtones, tends to be a didactic plea for humanism.

Идея «искусства для искусства» в контексте коммуникативной ситуации «автор–читатель»
No full textAutor artykułu rozpatruje koncepcję artystyczną „sztuki dla sztuki” (l’art pour l’art) w jej rozmaitych przejawach: jako manifest pewnej epoki historycznej (modernizm, dekadentyzm, postmodernizm) lub też osobisty światopogląd pojedynczych pisarzy i filozofów (Nabokov, Croce). Szczególną uwagę poświęca się nierozerwalnej symbiozie formy i treści, zwłaszcza idei ich strukturalno-semantycznej identyczności. Jednym z kluczowych wniosków przeprowadzonego badania jest wyraźna niejednorodność idei „sztuki dla sztuki”, której główne postulaty i tezy wykazują radykalne, niekiedy wykluczające się nawzajem różnice, w zależności od szkoły literackiej, literaturo- lub kulturoznawczej teorii, indywidualności konkretnego pisarza.Автором статьи рассматривается художественная концепция «искусства для искусства» (l’art pour l’art) в её разнообразных проявлениях: как манифест определённой исторической эпохи (модернизм, декаданс, постмодернизм) или же личная установка отдельных писателей и философов (Набоков, Кроче). Особое внимание уделяется неразрывной взаимосвязи формы и содержания, а также идее их структурно-семантической тождественности. Одним из ключевых выводов проведённого исследования является крайняя неоднородность идеи «искусства для искусства», главные постулаты и основоположения которой обнаруживают радикальные, подчас взаимоисключающие отличия в зависимости от литературного направления, литературо- или культуроведческой теории, индивидуальности конкретного писателя.The author of the article examines the artistic concept of “art for art’s sake” (l’art pour l’art) in its various forms: as a manifesto of a certain historical era (modernism, decadence, postmodernism) or the personal attitude of individual writers and philosophers (Nabokov, Croce). Particular attention is paid to the inextricable relationship of form and content, as well as the idea of their structural and semantic identity. One of the key conclusions of the study is the extreme heterogeneity of the idea of “art for art’s sake”, which main postulates and foundations reveal radical, sometimes mutually exclusive differences depending on the literary trend, literary or cultural theory, as well as in the individuality of a particular writer

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
Die vertauschten Geschwister – Christenheit und Heidentum in Friedrich de la Motte Fouqués „Undine“
Full text linkDas Thema des vorliegenden Artikels ist die künstlerische Darstellung der wechselseitigen Beziehungen zwischen Christenheit und Heidentum im berühmtesten Werk von Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, dem romantischen Liebesmärchen Undine. Das Konzept der romantischen Liebe in ihrer metaphysischen Ausprägung, die Versöhnung der Widersprüche zwischen dem heidnischen und dem christlichen Weltbild sowie die literarisch-philosophische Gestaltung des Mittelalterraumes sind die wichtigsten Aspekte, die dabei in den Blickpunkt geraten.The topic of the following article is the artistic depiction of the mutual relation between Christendom and Paganism in Undine, the most famous work by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué. It is a romantic fairy-tale about a knight who has fallen in love with a mermaid. The concept of the metaphysical dimension of romantic love, of crossing the boundaries between the pagan and the Christian worlds as well as an image of the Middle ages as a literary-philosophical space are among the most important aspects of my 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
Between Sense and Madness –The I-Metamorphosis in German Romantic Fairy-Tales
Full text linkIm vorliegenden Beitrag wird der absolut-generalisierende Menschenbegriff auf das subjektiv-figurative Konzept des Individuums begrenzt. Im Unterschied zu der anthropologischen Philosophie früherer Epochen beschäftigten sich die Denker der Romantik viel intensiver mit dem Ich-Problem als mit der Definition des Menschen bzw. des Menschlichen. Die theoretischen Grundlagen dieser eifrigen Ich-Zentriertheit können besonders gut am Beispiel von Johann Gottlieb Fichtes subjektiven Idealismus beobachtet werden. Davon ausgehend werden die literarischen Manifestationen des Individuellen in den Kunstmärchen deutscher Romantiker (Ludwig Tieck, Adelbert von Chamisso) analysiert.The first aim of this article is to reduce the absolute-generalising concept of “human” to the subjective-figurative concept of “individual”. In contrast to the anthropological philosophers of the previous epochs, the Romantic thinkers were concerned rather with the I-Problem than with the definition of “human” or “humanity”. The theoretical basis of such an impassioned I-focus can be well observed in Johann Gottlieb Fichte‘s “Subjective Idealism”. I am going to follow his principles and analyse the literary manifestations of the individual in the fairy tales and fantastic stories of the German Romantics (Ludwig Tieck, Adelbert von Chamisso)
