Guía de estudio núm. 99. Man Ray
No full textEl vigor que el artista estadounidense Man Ray (seudónimo de Emmanuel Radnitsky) le imprimió a las vanguardias de su época y la fuerza con que subvirtió las formas tradicionales del arte evidencian la influencia del dadaísmo y el surrealismo en su obra. Precisamente, esta guía de estudio sintetiza el marco histórico de ambos movimientos antes de referirse a su carrera artística en Manhattan y París. Con la referencia a algunas de sus obras se ejemplifica la experimentación progresiva de sus técnicas como pintor, creador de objetos y fotógrafo, especialmente su técnica de rayografías y solarizaciones.

The Portable Rousseau
No full textThe Portable Rousseau was commissioned from Paul de Man by Viking Press in 1972. In line with Viking’s longstanding series, the volume was intended as a pedagogical guide collating significant texts by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The collection was to contain original English-language translations of texts by Paul and Patricia de Man as well as reproductions of certain standard translations of Rousseau. The work presented here includes Paul de Man’s editorial corrigenda, drafts of planned introductions to the volume, and original translations by Paul and Patricia de Man. Translations and editorial texts were done in 1972-1983; revisions and transcriptions were done in 1983-2006.
The editorial material includes an agreed ‘Table of Contents’ and ‘Principle of Selection’ that Paul de Man worked to as the volume he imagined to best represent the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. As it became clear that this ‘Table of Contents’ would prove to be both over-length for the commissioned series and too expensive to realize through reproduction rights, a later table of contents ‘Optimal Table of Contents’ was produced for the publisher. This is accompanied by a text on the ‘Status of Translations’ that outlines available possible translations of standard texts by Rousseau and their relation to copyright.
Two introductory texts are available. The first, transcribed by Ellen Burt, is a draft of de Man’s proposed introduction to the volume. The second, a twelve page text entitled ‘Rousseau’, comes from the unpublished manuscript Textual Allegories (1972-3) which was retained by Patricia de Man to use as a possible introduction to The Portable Rousseau as she sought to complete the original Viking commission after the death of her husband in 1983.
The translations by Paul and Patricia de Man then follow according to the proposed order of the original ‘Table of Contents’. However, some deviations should be noted. The translations from the Nouvelle Héloise by Patricia de Man are taken from a continuously numbered manuscript prepared for final copy. It includes a small number of letters not listed in the ‘Table of Contents’. An extant translation by Patricia de Man of Part I, Letter V of the Nouvelle Héloise is also included as an appendix to the on-line publication although it is not part of the continuous manuscript of translations from this Rousseau text.Part of the text presented here was part of the original deposit of the Paul de Man papers in the UC Irvine Libraries. Other parts were retained by Patricia de Man in order to complete the Viking commission posthumously. A transcription of the proposed introduction was undertaken by Professor Ellen Burt. After the death of Patricia de Man, further editing of these papers was undertaken by Professor Cynthia Chase on the request of Patsy de Man (daughter of Paul and Patricia de Man). These parts were finally deposited at the UC Irvine Libraries in 2009 as part of the research project that lea to the transcription of Textual Allegories. Under the supervision of Professor Martin McQuillan, the collection was collated and digitized according to the available items listed on the original ‘Table of Contents’ in April 2010 with a grant from the British Academy
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
