No full textLa "Nave dei folli", nella celebre rappresentazione di Hieronymus Bosch scelta per la copertina, sta a significare quell'"objet nouveau" presentato da Michel Foucault in maniera suggestiva nelle pagine introduttive all'"Histoire de la folie à l'âge classique". L'intreccio tra vita, arte e letteratura è racchiuso in questo dipinto che trae origine dal fortunato poema, di pochi anni anteriore, di Sebastian Brant. La separazione dei folli può divenire simbolo della separazione dalla comunità che fin dalle Sacre Scritture sancisce un allontanamento del malato. I luoghi decretati erano fuori dalle città, lazzaretti che accoglievano principalmente lebbrosi, ma anche gli appestati, come viene descritto dalle numerose cronache. Fino ad arrivare ai moderni non-luoghi che curano, e al contempo separano dal mondo, i nuovi malati
"Forgier fins besans". Le Songe du Vieil Pelerin de Philippe de Mézières (1389): projet sotériologique et pouvoir de l'écriture à la fin du XIVème siècle.
Get PDFIn questa tesi vorremmo condurre uno studio approfondito sul Songe du Vieil Pelerin riguardante la complessa struttura di questo viaggio allegorico-didattico, i suoi fattori di coerenza e coesione che contribuiscono al suo principio di unità, l’utilizzo di alcune fonti cosi come la ricezione presso il pubblico. Il nostro scopo è quello di rendere più chiaro il meccanismo di costruzione del testo, la postura dell’autore e il posto del Songe nel contesto letterario della fine del XIV secolo.
Il nostro studio inizia con l’analisi dettagliata del prologo. E’ li che Philippe fornisce le chiavi di lettura della sua opera e organizza la sua riflessione sul problema della verità : verità spirituale, morale o ancora verbale, e quindi legata a un modello retorico preciso, infine verità dell’opera, dei contenuti che vi sono veicolati e l’autenticità della scrittura. Questo problema costituisce il filo rosso che attraversa tutto l’itinerario compiuto dal pellegrino, nel racconto cosi come nelle parentesi didattiche o digressioni che vi si insericono, come cerchermo di mostrare nella parte centrale del nostro studio.
Infine, abbiamo scelto due canali linguistici ben definiti e privilegiati nel tessuto discorsivo e narrativo del Songe, la polemica e la penitenza, per analizzare in dettaglio come il modello retorico proposto dall’autore puo essere il primo passo verso la via di un rinnovamento sociale e spirituale.This research presents a thorough study on the Songe du Vieil Pelerin focused on four aspects: the complex structure of the allegorical-didactic journey described by Philippe de Mezieres; the internal coherence and cohesion that contribute to the unity of the text; the use of sources and the critical reception by Mezieres' contemporaries. From a general standpoint, the main goal of this research is to clarify the inner workings of Mezieres' creative endeavour, in order to better understand the place of the Songe in the literary context of the late fourteenth century.
The research begins with a detailed analysis of the prologue, where Mezieres provides the keys to understand his work and organizes its reasoning on the problem of truth, distinguishing between a spiritual, moral, and verbal truth. This analysis marks the way of the pilgrim – the Songe main character – throughout Mezieres' work, both in the story and in the frequent didactical digressions.
When the pilgrim's path ends, the rethorical model that underlies the entire work is explained with the help of the concepts of polémique and pénitence, to show how Mezieres conceives his work as a first step in the way of a social and spiritual renewal
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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
