    Review: «Gadda: interpreti a confronto», ed. by Federica G. Pedriali

    Review of "Gadda: interpreti a confronto", ed. by Federica G. Pedriali, Quaderni della Rassegna, Florence, Cesati, 2020, pp. 257. "Gadda: Interpreti a confronto" is a collection of eleven essays by established Gadda scholars. Born from a sense of unease about issues that still arise in rereading Gadda today, the book addresses the following questions: now that the process of his canonization is complete, who is Gadda? And what does Gadda offer to us, in the face of his impressively large body of work, disarranged and rearranged within multiple contexts

    Methods- Paola Italia

    Chapter 2, "Methods", in Paola Italia, Giulia Raboni, et al., "What Is Authorial Philology?" (Cambridge: Open Book Publishers, 2021), pp. 29-69. English translation from the Italian: ch. 2, "Metodi", in Paola Italia and Giulia Raboni, "Che cos’è la filologia d’autore" (Rome: Carocci, 2010), pp. 38-71. A stark departure from traditional philology, "What is Authorial Philology?" is the first comprehensive treatment of authorial philology as a discipline in its own right. It provides readers with an excellent introduction to the theory and practice of editing "authorial texts" alongside an exploration of authorial philology in its cultural and conceptual architecture. The originality and distinction of this work lies in its clear systematisation of a discipline whose autonomous status has only recently been recognised. Chapter 2, "Methods", focuses on the methods used by authorial philology to provide editions of texts

    «Quasicché a propria volta l'autore si tuffi». Voce narrante e satira nell'«Adalgisa»

    No full text
    Starting from the advisory notice to the notes of the fourth "disegno milanese" titled "Quattro figlie ebbe e ciascuna regina", in the collection "L'Adalgisa. Disegni milanesi" by Carlo Emilio Gadda, my essay investigates the nature and role of the narrator in "L'Adalgisa" and his relationship with his characters and the world narrated. The investigation is carried out by taking as a guiding light the critical-interpretative category of satire, drawing in particular from Fredric V. Bogel's theoretical considerations on satire included in "The Difference Satire Makes" (2001)

    «Occhi al cielo». Note sulla luna nel secondo Calvino

    Full text link
    L’intervento esplora l’immaginario lunare di Calvino, prestando particolare attenzione alle "cosmicomiche lunari" degli anni Sessanta. La crescita di un interesse per la luna è connessa agli incontri decisivi con Giorgio de Santillana (autore nel ’69 di una "Lettera a proposito della luna") e soprattutto con Raymond Queneau (autore nel '50 della "Petite cosmogonie portative"). Oltre a mostrare l’infittirsi di occorrenze lunari nei testi di Calvino dagli anni Sessanta in poi, l’intervento intende riflettere sul ruolo cruciale giocato dalla luna nell’elaborazione di una concezione della letteratura come "mappa del mondo e dello scibile" e nella definizione di un nuovo canone letterario

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Sulle note dell'«Adalgisa». Tra autocommento, memoria e realtà extratestuale

    No full text
    The article examines the self-reflective and metatextual nature of many of the authorial notes of Carlo Emilio Gadda’s collection "L’Adalgisa. Disegni milanesi" (1944), exploring how the notes interact with the main text. The notes of "L’Adalgisa" sometimes account for the time passed between the earlier writing of the main text and its later publication, and defend the author from his detractors. Other times, they provide a countermelody to the satire carried out in the main text, challenge the reliability of the narrative, and even mock the author’s style and expressive choices. Most of all, however, as the article argues, the notes create an effect of reverberation between the narrative and the historical-biographical experiences of Gadda, understood as the external author of the tex

    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 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
