O processo criativo de D. Pedro II na tradução do Hitopadeça
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2015.O objetivo central desta pesquisa é analisar os manuscritos autógrafos da tradução do livro do Hitopadesa, realizada por Pedro d Alcântara, último imperador brasileiro. Mais especificamente, as análises se fundamentam na metodologia da Crítica Genética com vistas a ilustrar o processo criativo do monarca durante a sua tradução. Para tanto, os movimentos de escritura do autor são evidenciados para se discutir o nascimento da obra e delimitar qual era o seu perfil de tradutor e que papel efetivamente a tradução desempenhava em sua vida e na história do Brasil. Rasuras, intervenções, acréscimos no texto e hesitações servem de fio condutor para mapear o trabalho mental empreendido durante a produção da tradução. Paralelamente a este objetivo, o presente trabalho almeja conferir, a partir da edição genética dos manuscritos, uma maior visibilidade a este material inédito, traduzido do original em sânscrito, e que revela uma faceta pouco explorada de D. Pedro II, a de intelectual preocupado em criar uma identidade nacional, fortalecer a cultura e promover o progresso da nação. Os manuscritos aqui estudados, assim como tantos outros, permaneceram esquecidos (ou ignorados!) durante um longo período nos arquivos do Museu Imperial e graças aos estudos genéticos, passaram a ganhar o estatuto de objeto científico. Dessa forma, o grande público passa a ter acesso a um trabalho que não se pode classificar como a atividade de um diletante, mas que revela o seu gosto peculiar pelas línguas e culturas orientais, além de ser testemunho de um momento histórico representativo para o Brasil. As análises do prototexto permitiram compreender a inserção contraditória de um império sem políticas ou interesses expansionistas no fluxo do movimento orientalista europeu a partir da atividade tradutória do monarca Pedro II. A postura contra-hegemônica do imperador, cujo interesse estava em forjar uma identidade nacional com a mescla de elementos exteriores ao Velho Mundo, teve a tradução como principal ferramenta. Além disso, a Crítica Genética auxiliou também o cotejo da tradução imperial com a versão de Sebastião Rodolpho Dalgado (1897) nos moldes de análise proposto pelos Estudos Descritivos da Tradução.Abstract : The central objective of this research is to analyze the autograph translation manuscripts of Hitopadeça by Pedro d'Alcântara, the last emperor of Brazil. More specifically, the analysis is methodologically based on Genetic Criticism in order to illustrate the creative process during translation. By rendering visible the translator's writing process, the genesis of the translation can be studied and the emperor s translator profile defined as well as the role translation has played in his life and in the history of Brazil. Erasures, interventions, additions in the text as well as hesitations allow to map the mental work undertaken during the translation process. Beside the main objective, the doctoral thesis aims to give greater visibility to this hitherto inedited manuscript consisting of the translation from the original Sanskrit into Portuguese. The research contributes to reveal a little-explored facet of D. Pedro II as an intellectual preoccupied with creating a national identity, with strengthening Brazilian culture and promoting the nation s progress. The manuscript studied, as well as many others, remained forgotten (or ignored!) for a long period in the Imperial Museum of Petropolis. Thanks to the genetic study they are gaining the status of object of scientific research, making them accessible to the general public. It is clear by now that the translation manuscripts of Dom Pedro II reveal the emperor s peculiar taste for oriental languages and cultures. As such, they are important testimonies of a significant moment in the history of the country and that they cannot be classified as the activity of a dilettante. The analysis of the proto-text allows us to understand, through the translation activity of the monarch Pedro II, the contradictory participation of Brazil - an empire without expansionist politics or interests- in European Orientalism. For the emperor, who was interested in forging a national identity not exclusively based on references to the Old World, a main tool of creating such a counterhegemonic identity was translation. In addition, in this thesis we offer a comparative study of the translation of Hitopadesa by Emperor Pedro II with the earlier translation of the same work by Sebastian Rodolpho Dalgado (1897), based on the methodology of Genetic Criticism combined with Descriptive Translation Studies
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn 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.
