Ukrainian Academic Folk-instrumental Artistic Performance as an Intercultural Dialogue
No full textThe article deals with the problem of cultural dialogue through the example of Ukrainian academic folk-instrumental artistic performance (UAFIAP). The historical-cultural context of the UAFIAP development in the beginning of the 20th and 21st centuries is examined, which has shaped the dialogical nature of this type of artistic performance. The methodology of the research includes: M. Bakhtin’s conception of cultural dialogue; the theoretical method of modeling (to construct the analogies between the tendencies of national-cultural revival in Ukraine of the 20th and 21st centuries); historical method (to analyze the processes of UAFIAP evolution); comparative-historical method (to define common and specific historical conditions of the Ukrainian cultural development in the beginning of the 20th and 21st centuries); historical-cultural method (to consider the cultural context of UAFIAP development of the 20th – 21st centuries). The scientific novelty of the article consists in the consideration of UAFIAP in the context of the cutlural dialogue problem; in the examination of historical-cultural aspect of UAFIAP formation and evolution. Conclusion. On the ground of analysis of the historical-cultural situation in Ukraine in 20th – 21st centuries it is demonstrated that the dialogueness of UAFIAP consists in the unity and interaction of national and international components; in the representation of UAFIAP as a unique national art and, at the same time, as an essential part of European cultural world. It is defined that the crucial reason of UAFIAP development is the process of national-cultural revival, inspired by the patriotic awareness of the cultural uniqueness as a component of European cultural world. It is concluded that because of its dialogical nature, UAFIAP nowadays is one of the most fruitful forms of the national art that asserts national uniqueness of the Ukrainian music and favours the activation of Ukrainian-European humanitarian relations
Theoretical Aspects of the Style Problem in the Musicological Research of the 20th – the Beginning of 21st Century
No full textThe aim of the article is to analyze the historiography of the problem of the style of music – one of the most global categories of the musical thinking. Basing on the examination of the results of the fundamental national and foreign research of the 20th – the beginning of the 21st centuries, theoretical aspects of this problem that cover the definition of the style’s notion, systematics of the peculiar stylistic features, hierarchical structure of style, historical typology of styles, tendencies of the development of the style theory during the mentioned period, perspective of the stylistic problematics’ research, were defined and considered. The methodology of this research is based on such theoretical methods: systematization – to examine and consider scientific theories of style; abstraction – to differentially perceive the most peculiar characteristics of the musical style; analysis – to make connections between the different levels of the category of style; synthesis – to consider style as a component of hierarchical system of music. Moreover, the descriptive method – to analyze theoretical interpretations of the notion of musical style is applied. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the consideration of the scientific heritage of research of the style of music, systematization of the main theoretical aspects of the style problem, development of the theoretical discourse of style nature of musical phenomena. Conclusions. The scientific experience of the style problem research is generalized. The controversial character of investigation of the style problem is defined. The basic concepts of the theory of style from the perspective of artistic unity, differentiation, stability, system integrity of style features, style’s tone and multilevel nature are systematized. The historical interdependence of the style levels is revealed: the “epoch style”, “national style” and “individual style”. The direction of the modern theories of musical style development is depicted
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
