Anna Maria Ortese scrittrice straniera. Il nativo come scoperta dell'alterità e fondazione di una poetica
Full text linkLa tesi analizza l’influenza della cultura degli indiani d’America sull’opera di Anna Maria Ortese. Escludendo solo pochissime pubblicazioni, la ricerca è partita fin dalle prime prove, in poesia e in prosa, dell’autrice, e ha considerato l’intero arco della sua produzione, inclusi i contributi postumi. La ricerca è stata così suddivisa in undici capitoli, i quali studiano in maniera approfondita le riformulazioni più significative fatte da Ortese riguardo il tema dei nativi: un tema stratificato, complesso, affasciante e duttilissimo; un tema che la scrittrice fa proprio e costantemente rimodula, adattandolo alla propria storia personale e rendendolo materia viva, nella quale rispecchiarsi e far rispecchiare i suoi simili, più esattamente il consorzio umano che le stava accanto, ma dal quale si sentì sempre esclusa. E proprio l’esclusione, più o meno cercata da parte di Ortese, proprio la sua diversità, la sua alterità, la sua otherness, è la parola chiave del presente progetto di ricerca: gli indiani d’America, vittime del peggior massacro che la storia ricordi, incapaci di difendersi e relegati nelle riserve, chiusi, estraniati, stranieri al mondo, ecco che quegli indiani d’America insegnano all’autrice a sopravvivere, ad accettare sofferenze senza pari e riformularle: nel suo caso, attraverso la letteratura. È questa la premessa per poter parlare di un’Ortese straniera; un’Ortese gemellata con la sensibilità dei nativi; un’Ortese che farà dell’attenzione ad altre otherness, altre esclusioni, altri modi e forme di essere stranieri – cioè lontani, lontanissimi dal sentire più comune – farà di quella tendenza un tratto di riconoscimento, una condizione senza la quale il suo universo (letterario, stilistico, etico, filosofico) non sarebbe quello che è sempre stato. Obiettivo della tesi, che ha approfondito anche importanti materiali inediti, è dimostrare come l’America e i suoi più antichi abitanti siano per Ortese qualcosa di più di un semplice simbolo, riprendendo l’autrice una tematica che è stata, è tuttora, più complessa di un immaginario. Da “Angelici dolori” ad “Alonso e visionari” allora, dalle prime liriche per il fratello Manuele a “Le Piccole Persone”, dai pezzi giornalistici agli scritti di viaggio, dai romanzi alla corrispondenza privata, si delineerà il ritratto di un’autrice che è tuttora un unicum della letteratura (forse non solo italiana), un’artista che grazie al paradigma dei nativi, come spiega il titolo della tesi, ha disperatamente scoperto la propria alterità, il proprio modo di essere straniera, e su quello ha fondato la propria scrittura
Le ragioni della ricerca: verso una nuova dimensione territoriale delle politiche comunitarie di coesione economica e sociale
No full textFunctions as Processes: Termination and the lambda mu mu~ - Calculus
No full textThe the lambda mu mu~ - calculus is a variant of the lambda-calculus with significant differences, including non-confluence and a Curry-Howard isomorphism with the classical sequent calculus. We present an encoding of the lambda mu mu~ - calculus into the pi-calculus. We establish the operational correctness of the encoding, and then we extract from it an abstract machine for the former calculus. We prove that there is a tight relationship between such a machine and Curien and Herbelin's abstract machine. The pi-calculus image of the (typed) lambda mu mu~ - calculus is a nontrivial set of terminating processes
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
