    Abstract: This paper presents a translation and a study of the first chapter of Achilles Tatius’s novel, Leucippe and Clitophon. The study aims to discuss some choices made in the translation. The opening chapter of Leucippe and Clitophon can be read and interpreted separately from the main narrative, as it serves as a preamble to the plot. In it, an anonymous narrator composes two ekphraseis. To discuss the proposed translation, the study explores the textual construction of the chapter, shedding light on the elements, themes, and techniques used, highlighting the elaboration of the landscapes contained in the ekphraseis. The article is divided into three sections. The first introduces the work, its author, and its historical context. The second presents the Greek text and the translation. The final section is dedicated to the study of the excerpt.Resumo: Este artigo apresenta uma tradução e um estudo do primeiro capítulo do romance Leucipe e Clitofonte, de Aquiles Tácio.

    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

    The world of Leucippe and Clitophon: a study on the representation of space and time and Mikhail Bakhtins chronotope

    Esta dissertação examina a representação literária do espaço e do tempo no romance Leucipe e Clitofonte, de Aquiles Tácio (séc. II d.C.). O estudo dialoga com a interpretação de Mikhail Bakhtin (2018) do romance grego antigo, a partir do conceito de cronotopo do romance aventuresco de provação. Este diálogo pressupõe, junto com Bakhtin, a indissociabilidade entre tempo e espaço, mas enquanto o autor privilegia o tempo, esta dissertação toma o espaço como o princípio orientador. Para tanto, fez-se uso do conceito de território usado da teoria geográfica crítica. O romance grego antigo é marcado pela paixão entre dois jovens protagonistas que, desejando permanecer juntos, se deslocam pelo Mediterrâneo, enfrentando uma série de desventuras. Nesta dissertação, a ênfase que o gênero concede a estes deslocamentos foi tomada como um índice da relação sociedade-espaço durante o Alto Império Romano, quando os romancistas gregos escreveram suas obras. Ao longo dos três capítulos de análise interpretativa do enredo de Leucipe e Clitofonte, investigou-se como este romance elabora as relações entre os homens e seu espaço e seu tempo. Concluiu-se que o espaço representado em Leucipe e Clitofonte não é abstrato e alheio aos heróis, como interpretou Bakhtin, mas revela uma preocupação com a forma de organização social, suas estruturas e preservaçãoThis dissertation examines the representation of space and time in the novel Leucippe and Clitophon, by Achilles Tatius (2nd century AD). The present study engages in a dialogue with Mikhail Bakhtin\'s interpretation of the ancient Greek novel, departing from the concept of chronotope of adventure and ordeals. The dialogue assumes, along with Bakhtin, the inseparability between time and space, but while the author privileges time, this dissertation takes space as the guiding principle. To this end, it employs the concept of used territory from critical geographical theory. A passion between two young protagonists who, desiring to remain together, travel across the Mediterranean, facing a series of misadventures marks the ancient Greek novel. Within this dissertation, the emphasis that the genre concedes to these displacements was taken as an index for the society-space relationship during the High Roman Empire, when the Greek novelists wrote their works. The three chapters of interpretative analysis of Leucippe and Clitophon\'s plot investigate how this novel elaborates the relationship between men with their space and time. The study concludes that the space represented in Leucippe and Clitophon is not abstract and alien to the heroes, as Bakhtin interpreted, but reveals a concern with the form of social organization, its structures, and preservatio

    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

    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

    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

    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
