    Introduction. Exploring the Great Divide. Animals and Humans in the German-Language Literature

    No full text
    The recent emergence of the discipline of literary animal studies regards literature in itself as constitutive element of a history of knowledge. The discipline has led not only to the expansion of the corpus of texts traditionally connected with animals, but also established new concepts and methods for revising conventional cultural dichotomies (subject and object, human and animal). The 10 essays collected in this volume are devoted to a wide range of case studies on the relationship between animality and poetics in German-speaking literature since the 18th century. They display a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to a number of texts packed with references to animals, considered not primarily as objects of literature, but as agents endowed with an active role in the production of literature, and which have left repressed or forgotten traces in texts

    Ten Years of German Aesthetics: an annotated bibliography After the great social and cultural transformations of the 20th Century, the philosophical investigation in the field of “German aesthetics” has to face two questions. It has to consider the increasing development of the analytical approach to aesthetics, on one hand, and at the same time to preserve its own cultural traditional heritage, on the other hand. In this context, the present volume - edited by Alessandra Campo ([email protected]) and Micaela Latini ([email protected]) - provides an annotated bibliography of the German-speaking aesthetics from 2001 to 2010. This study does not pretend to be an exhaustive account of the very rich aesthetic literature in the German-speaking areas of the 21st Century. The aim of this book is, however, to capture the distinctive features of contemporary German aesthetics, by mapping its most promising topics, prospects and potentialities. Goal of this volume is to outline and identify four main trends in German contemporary aesthetical research. It is therefore divided in four parts, each provided with a theoretical introduction as its critical compendium. The opening chapter, entitled Poetics and Rhetoric, focuses on the recent studies in the field of these two traditional aesthetical disciplines. The second section, Aesthetics and Anthropology, is devoted to the investigation of the anthropological origins of aesthetics, in comparison with the emerging contemporary issues. The last two chapters explore the more innovative aesthetic topics. The third part examines, by adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the impact of the Iconic Turn on German speaking aesthetics. The last and closing chapter, entitled The New Aesthetics between Technology and Globalization, analyzes the relationship between aesthetics, new technologies and the distinctive contemporary social and cultural phenomena of the global era. Some keywords at the end of each chapter help to find the fundamental theoretical issues. It emerges the richness and the potentiality of the most recent aesthetic debate that dominates the German speaking cultural investigation during the last ten years. In seguito alle grandi trasformazioni sociali e culturali del XX secolo, la ricerca filosofica nel campo della "estetica" tedesca si trova ad affrontare due questioni. Se, da un lato, deve considerare lo sviluppo crescente dell’approccio analitico all'estetica, dall’altro deve al contempo preservare il proprio patrimonio culturale tradizionale. In questo contesto, il presente volume - a cura di Alessandra Campo ([email protected]) e Micaela Latini ([email protected]) - fornisce una bibliografia ragionata delle lingua tedesca estetica dal 2001 al 2010. Questo studio non ha la pretesa di essere un resoconto esaustivo della ricchissima letteratura secondaria di ambito estetologico nelle zone di lingua tedesca del XXI secolo. Lo scopo di questo libro è piuttosto quello di cogliere i tratti distintivi della estetica tedesca contemporanea, mappando gli argomenti più promettenti, le prospettive e le potenzialità. Obiettivo di questo volume è quello di definire e identificare quattro principali tendenze della contemporanea estetica tedesca. Per questo motivo si è suddiviso il libro in quattro sezioni, ciascuna delle quali è dotata di una introduzione teorica come compendio critico. Il capitolo di apertura, intitolato “Poetica e Retorica”, si concentra sui recenti studi nel campo di queste due discipline estetiche tradizionali. La seconda sezione, “Estetica e Antropologia”, è dedicata all'indagine delle origini antropologiche dell’estetica, in confronto alle questioni emergenti nel panorama contemporaneo. Gli ultimi due capitoli affrontano i temi più innovativi dell’ambito estetologico. La terza parte prende in esame, adottando un approccio interdisciplinare, l'impatto della svolta iconica sull'estetica di lingua tedesca. L'ultimo capitolo, conclusivo, dal titolo “Le nuove estetiche tra tecnologia e globalizzazione”, analizza il rapporto tra estetica, nuove tecnologie e i distintivi fenomeni contemporanei sociali e culturali dell'epoca globale. Alcune parole chiave alla fine di ogni capitolo aiutano ad enucleare le questioni teoretiche fondamentali. Ne emerge la ricchezza e la potenzialità del più recente dibattito estetologico, che domina la ricerca culturale di lingua tedesca nell’arco degli ultimi dieci anni

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
