    I fatti dei Romani. Saggio di edizione critica di un volgarizzamento fiorentino del Duecento

    No full text
    I Fatti dei Romani incisero nella cultura non solo fiorentina e toscana un segno che sarebbe durato a lungo [...]. Testi non disdegnati dai dotti, ma ancor di più apprezzati dal popolo, letti e copiati molte volte, e a volte ritradotti o rimaneggiati e comunque adattati alle esigenze della notorietà e del successo. Così dei Fatti ci restano più traduzioni, e della principale più redazioni, e di queste diversi manoscritti, più numerosi per la redazione più breve. Anche limitandosi, come fa Marroni, all’esame della principale traduzione integrale giunta fino a noi, i rapporti fra i testimoni sopravvissuti appaiono molto intricati e la contaminazione frequente [...]. Il testo continua a vivere modificandosi, svestendosi di panni francesi e rivestendone di toscani in modi diversi lungo i diversi rami della tradizione. Ne risulta una stratificazione complessa attraverso cui è dato scorgere a tratti, e spesso velatamente, l’aspetto della traduzione originale, ammesso che in situazioni di questo tipo sia davvero legittimo, o, meglio, utile, usare quest’espressione. Il dato più consistente che il metodo d’edizione di Marroni consente di cogliere in modo visivamente nitido è la continua trasformazione del testo, un testo inteso come uno e molteplice al tempo stesso, a cui reagisce immancabilmente durante tutta la sua attività, dove con maggiore dove con minore energia, l’individuo che copia, che adatta, che aggiorna, che traduce [...]. Marroni definisce la sua edizione “stratigrafica”, poiché le varianti si dispongono su strati sovrapposti in ordine cronologico correlati con la crosta superficiale, costituita dal codex optimus, il Riccardiano 2418, datato 1313. La loro collocazione, numerosi accorgimenti grafici, un sistema facilmente interpretabile di simboli e l’apparato delle note consentono più percorsi di lettura, dal più ovvio, lungo il solo testo del Riccardiano, ai più complessi, che invocano l’insieme delle varianti sostanziali: ricostruzione delle testimonianze dei diversi codici, ipotesi di percorsi variantistici, prospetti di fasi primitive del volgarizzamento, più o meno particolareggiati in ragione dei dati in nostro possesso. Non ne risulta, per questo, intaccato il testo di base, sul quale può così fare pieno affidamento anche lo storico della lingua: ciò che ha di fronte è, per quanto interpretato, un dato realmente esistito in tutte le sue parti.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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 PDF
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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

    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.
