Rys historyczny Teatru Muzycznego Takarazuka – w poszukiwaniu nowego „teatru narodowego”
Full text linkThe Takarazuka Revue (Takarazuka Kagekidan) occupies an important place among Japanese modern theatres and enjoys unwavering popularity both in Japan and abroad. Both the artistic and commercial character of the idea that brought the first Japanese all-female revue to life in 1914 determined its further development and process of conversion from a simple choir to a full scale musical theater. Kobayashi – the founder of the Takarazuka Revue, an opera aficionado and theater critic – was driven by the need to create a new, affordable and easily understandable national theater that would meet the needs of modern Japanese society. Currently, the Takarazuka Revue is one of the most active and successful modern Japanese theaters. Its harmonious combination of trends in mass culture and Japanese and Western theatrical traditions is fascinating. The highly characteristic fusion of simplicity and splendour, kitsch and sophistication that can be seen in the revue’s works, creates a unique, albeit somewhat controversial style, complemented by musumeyaku (female emploi) i otokoyaku (male emploi) played by actresses taught in a special school affiliated to the Takarazuka Revue
Zarys historii i rozwoju musicalu w Korei Południowej
Full text linkOver the last two decades musicals in South Korea have shown a steady growth in popularity. International popularization of Korean culture has contributed to the increase of domestic productions, international collaborations, and adaptations of global hits. This article presents the process of introducing the Western musical to the Korean theater scene, focusing on the sources of inspiration and the process of adapting musical theater to local traditions. The text traces selected traditional Korean forms of musical performance, Japanese influences during the period of occupation (1910–1945), the shift towards the American musical in the second half of the twentieth century, and the musical boom of the 2000s, showing the uniqueness and potential of contemporary Korean musicals.Over the last two decades musicals in South Korea have shown a steady growth in popularity.

The represented world of Takarazuka Revue plays
No full textWydział NeofilologiiRozprawa poświęcona jest analizie i charakterystyce świata przedstawionego w dramatach Teatru Muzycznego Takarazuka. Celem dysertacji jest udowodnienie, że utwory zespołu stanowią spójny zbiór dzieł literackich, który mimo wielu zachodnich inspiracji jest głęboko zakorzeniony w japońskiej kulturze i charakteryzuje się zgodnością założeń estetycznych i artystycznych. Założenia te zostały omówione z uwzględnieniem głównej maksymy estetycznej zespołu „niewinnie, poprawnie, pięknie” (kiyoku, tadashiku, utsukushiku) i zasady świata marzeń (yume no sekai). Zawarta w rozprawie analiza świata przedstawionego uwzględnienia ponadto szeroki kontekst kulturowy (tradycyjne japońskie widowiska teatralne), społeczny (nihonjinron – dyskurs na temat Japończyków), religijny (mitologia) i filozoficzny (Shūzō Kuki). Transkulturowy synkretyzm artystyczny utworów sprawia, że ich analizy dokonane zostały z uwzględnieniem teorii wyobraźni jako procesu społecznego (Arjun Appadurai), rzeczywistości konsumpcjonistycznej (Jean Baudrillard), orientalizmu (Edward Said) czy teorii miłości (Robert Sternberg, Abraham Harold Maslow). W rozprawie znajduje się również autorska klasyfikacja dramatów zespołu z uwzględnieniem ich tematyki oraz podziałem na utwory oryginalne i nieoryginalne oraz klasyfikacja piosenek stanowiących integralny element utworów Takarazuki.Dissertation presents an analysis and characterization of the represented world of Takarazuka Revue dramatic works. The purpose of this thesis is to prove that Takarazuka’s plays constitute a coherent set of literary works that, despite many Western inspirations, is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and based on a coherent system of aesthetic and artistic values. These values were discussed with due consideration to Revue's main aesthetic maxim of "purity, righteousness, beauty" (kiyoku, tadashiku, utsukushiku) and the dream world principle (yume no sekai). The analysis of the represented world of Takarazuka Revue plays included in this dissertation covers a broad cultural (traditional Japanese theatre), social (nihonjinron – discourse on Japanese national and cultural identity), religious (mythology) and philosophical (Shūzō Kuki) context. The transcultural artistic syncretism of Takarazuka Revue plays called for an analysis referring among others to the theory of imagination as a social process (Arjun Appadurai), consumerist society (Jean Baudrillard), Orientalism (Edward Said) and theories of love (Robert Sternberg, Abraham Harold Maslow). The dissertation also includes an original classification of Takarazuka’s plays, based on their theme and dividing them into original and non-original works as well as a classification of songs, which are an integral part of all plays
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
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
