    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “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

    Resumo: A poética de E. M. de Melo e Castro, um dos maiores representantes da Poesia Experimental em Portugal, fundamenta-se num jogo constante com as linguagens disponíveis, da escrita à imagética, da escrita enquanto imagem, da imagem enquanto inscrição. O objetivo desta reflexão é procurar compreender a postura do poeta perante a tradição partindo de suas experimentações em torno do soneto e de sua busca pelo que chamou “poligonia total da experimentação poética”. Para isso, recorreremos à obra Poligonia do soneto (1963) e a textos teóricos e reflexivos do autor, além de outras leituras críticas.Palavras-chave: soneto; poesia experimental portuguesa; tradição; forma.Abstract: The poetics of E. M. de Melo e Castro, one of the greatest representatives of Experimental Poetry in Portugal, is based on a constant game with the available languages, from writing to imagery, from writing as image, from image as inscription. The purpose of this reflection is to seek to understand the poet’s attitude towards tradition based on his experiments on the sonnet and on his search for what he called “the total polygon of poetic experimentation”. For this, we will use the work Poligonia do soneto (1963) and the author’s theoretical and reflective texts, as well as other critical readings.Keywords: sonnet; Portuguese experimental poetry; tradition; form

    Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics

    We describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation

    Relación entre el nivel de heteroplasmia de la mutación m.3243AG en diferentes tejidos y el fenotipo en familias con diabetes y sordera de herencia materna (midd) y melas

    El MELAS y la Diabetes y Sordera de Herencia Materna (MIDD) son enfermedades mitocondriales producidas en la mayor parte de los casos por una misma mutación: la m.3243AG, la cual afecta al gen MT-TL1. Esto muestra la gran variabilidad fenotípica de dicha mutación. Una de las posibles causas de esta variación puede ser el nivel de heteroplasmia de la mutación. Este trabajo se propuso evaluar si existe relación entre el nivel de heteroplasmia en tres tejidos y el fenotipo. Fueron incluidas 3 familias con diagnóstico clínico de MELAS y 2 con diagnóstico clínico de MIDD. Se evaluó la presencia de la mutación y el nivel de heteroplasmia mediante ARMS-qPCR EN sangre, orina y mucosa oral. Una familia con MELAS resultó positiva para la mutación m.3243AG. Se evidenció una gran variabilidad fenotípica. El probando tenía una mayor heteroplasmia en los 3 tejidos en comparación con sus familiares oligosintomáticos. Se reporta el primer paciente en Colombia con MELAS y la mutación m.3271TC y se realizó un análisis de estas familiasAbstract. MELAS and Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness (MIDD) are mitochondrial diseases produced in most cases by the same mutation: m.3243AG, which affects the MT-TL1 gene. This reveals the great phenotypic variability of this mutation. One of the possible causes of this could be the mutation´s heteroplasmy level. This project aimed to assess if there is a relation between the heteroplasmy level in three tissues and the phenotype. 3 families with a clinical diagnosis of MELAS and 2 families with a clinical diagnosis of MIDD were included. The presence and heteroplasmy level of the mutation were assessed via ARMS-qPCR on blood, urine and oral mucosa. One family with MELAS rendered positive for the m.3243AG mutation. A great phenotypic variation was found. The proposita had a greater heteroplasmy level in all 3 tissues compared to her oligosymptomatic relatives. The first Colombian patient with MELAS and the m.3271TC mutation is reported. These families were further analyzed.Maestrí

    The Viral Author

    La idea moderna de la "figura de autor" debe mucho, de manera irreversible, a los dos ensayos de Roland Barthes y Michel Foucault, "La muerte del autor" y "¿Qué es un autor?". Ellos proporcionan un marco útil para una investigación sobre la aparente ausencia del autor en el mundo del web, nos permite preguntarnos si la autoría es congruente con los nuevos medios de comunicación, y si algún modelo puede ser establecido por su presencia. Se argumenta que el autor es de hecho presente, pero con su presencia y modalidades de actividad desplazadas a la figura del usuario.The modern idea of the author-figure owes much, irreversibly, to the two essays of Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault, “The Death of the Author” and “What is an Author?”. They provide a useful framework for an investigation into the apparent absence of the author-figure in the online world, allow us to ask whether authorship is congruent with online media, and whether some model may be established for his presence. It is argued that the author is indeed present, but with his presence and modes of activities displaced, perhaps counter-intuitively, to the figure of the user

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
