    Późna twórczość poety jako obraz pogranicza jego tożsamości na przykładzie poezji Alberta Bertoniego

    Full text link
    The subject of the borderline, strongly marked in the metaphors of late poetry, is one of the key topics of contemporary critical literary research. The speaker, having found himself “on the edge” of life and creativity, emphasizes this in a characteristic way. The borderline associated with identity crisis often appears in the poetry contained in the collection L’isola dei topi by Alberto Bertoni (1955). Following Tomasz Wójcik’s conclusions (2005), we can indicate many characteristic features of late poetry. The writer often ironizes himself, metaphorizes his biography, and thus, trying to break out of the prison of old age, he places himself on the edge of his own existence. In Bertoni’s work, the topos of mice appears as a testimony to memories that absorb man and serves as a fundamental interpretative key. The titular island of mice embodies the space of lost childhood, at the same time raising a special time-space of which poetry itself is a part. All this indicates the author’s approach to what has already passed, making up the borderline of identity between the past and the present. The analysis of the author’s selected poems was supported by categories of Freud’s psychoanalytic interpretation and intertextuality introduced by Julia Kristeva. The study of poetic images as a symptomatic structure allows us to see the full maturity of the lyrical voice, where the multitude of references to other creators is one of many characteristic features of the discussed concept.  Analizie zostanie poddane zagadnienie pogranicza, które silnie zaznacza się w późnej poezji. Osoba mówiąca, znalazłszy się „na skraju” życia i twórczości, akcentuje to w charakterystyczny sposób. Pogranicze związane z kryzysem tożsamości to element często występujący w poezji zawartej w nieprzetłumaczonym dotychczas na język polski zbiorze L’isola dei topi autorstwa włoskiego poety Alberta Bertoniego (ur. 1955). Podążając za wnioskami Tomasza Wójcika (2005), można uznać, że pisarz, dokonując samoobiektywizacji, często ironizuje własną osobę i doświadczenia, metaforyzuje swój życiorys, a tym samym, starając się wyrwać z więzienia starości, stawia samego siebie na skraju własnego bytu. Jako zasadniczy klucz interpretacyjny jawi się powracający topos myszy jako świadectwo wspomnień pochłaniających człowieka, a tytułowa wyspa myszy ucieleśnia zachowaną w pamięci przestrzeń utraconego dzieciństwa, która przy tym wznosi szczególną czasoprzestrzeń, której częścią jest sama poezja. Wszystkie te elementy wskazują na zagubienie autora w realiach podeszłego wieku, jego podejście do tego, co już minęło, składając się na pogranicze tożsamości między przeszłością i teraźniejszością. Analiza wybranych wierszy autora wsparta została o kategorie interpretacji psychoanalitycznej Freuda oraz intertekstualność wprowadzoną do słownika literackiego przez Julię Kristevę. Badanie obrazów poetyckich jako struktury objawowej pozwala bowiem ujrzeć w pełni dojrzałość głosu lirycznego, gdzie wielość nawiązań do innych twórców stanowi jedną z wielu cech charakterystycznych dla omawianego pojęcia. &nbsp

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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 text
    We 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
