Roots ancient or medieval? Nikolaos Politis, modern Greek folklore studies and ancient Greek religion
Get PDFThe question posed by the title can be reformulated in the following manner: to what extent has it been possible or desirable to connect modern Greek customs with ancient ones? not customs in general, but more precisely religious customs. Greek folklore studies typically begin with Nikolaos Politis, professor at the University of Athens, the first to introduce the term λαογραφία (meaning “folklore studies”) towards the end of the nineteenth century. Yet, we need to revert to at least as far back as the time prior to the Greek Revolution, that is, the period of the Greek enlightenment, in order to trace the beginnings of the shaping of the ideological framework of modern Greek folklore studies. it is well known and has aptly been pointed out, also in connection with Greek folklore studies, that for the Greeks the enlightenment movement went hand in hand with a specific form of romanticism. The Greek idea of the nation developed within the framework of the Romantic movement and on the basis of the connection between “us” and “the ancients”. How, then, were modern Greek folk customs that were not firmly related to the orthodox church incorporated in this new cultural narrative
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
Η διονυσιακή μεταφορά στους Επτά επί Θήβας
No full textἩ μελέτη αὐτὴ ἐπικεντρώνεται στὴν ἀνάλυση τῆς διονυσιακῆς μεταφορᾶς τοῦ στίχου 498 τῶν Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας (βακχᾷ πρὸς ἀλκὴν θυιὰς ὥς φόβον βλέπων), ὅπου ὁ Ἱππομέδων παρομοιάζεται μὲ μαινάδα. Τὸ νόημα τῆς διονυσιακῆς μεταφορᾶς ἀποτιμᾶται στὸ πλαίσιο τοῦ ἔντονα τροπικοῦ ἰδιώματος ποὺ χρησιμοποιεῖ ὁ Ἄγγελος Κατάσκοπος καθ ὅλη τὴν παρουσίαση τοῦ πολεμιστῆ. Οἱ προεκτάσεις τῆς διονυσιακῆς μεταφορᾶς ἀναζητοῦνται ἔπειτα καὶ στὴν αὐτοπαρουσίαση τοῦ Χοροῦ ὡς θυιάδος (836) ἐνῶ θρηνεῖ πάνω ἀπὸ τὰ ἄψυχα σώματα τῶν ἀλληλοσφαγμένων ἀδελφῶν. Οἱ γυναῖκες τοῦ Χοροῦ πράγματι τρέπονται οἱ ἴδιες σὲ “μαινάδες” καθὼς ἀντιδροῦν στὴν τραγικὴ κατάληξη τοῦ ἔργου. Τὸ “μαιναδικὸ” στοιχεῖο ἀναδεικνύεται, λοιπόν, στὴν πραγματικότητα ὡς ἕνα μοτίβο ποὺ ἐγκαινιάζεται μὲ τὸν ὑπερβολικὸ συναισθηματισμὸ τῶν γυναικῶν στὴν πάροδο, ἀποτυπώνεται ἐν συνεχεία στὴ “μανία” τοῦ Ἱππομέδοντα καὶ κατόπιν στὴν παρόρμηση τοῦ Ἐτεοκλῆ νὰ ἔλθει ἀντιμέτωπος μὲ τὸν ἀδελφό του στὴν Ἕβδομη Πύλη, προκειμένου ἐντέλει νὰ χαρακτηρίσει τὸν σπαρακτικὸ θρῆνο τῶν γυναικῶν.Theme of this study is the analysis of Dionysiac metaphoric language and imagery in Aeschylus᾽ Seven against Thebes, with special emphasis on the depiction of Hippomedon in line 498, where the warrior is likened to a maenad: βακχᾷ πρὸς ἀλκὴν θυιὰς ὥς φόβον βλέπων. The implications of this metaphor are appraised within the wider frame of the figurative language of the Messenger and the whole nexus of imagery and symbolism in the Scene of the Shields. Further on in the play, we are dealing with the Chorus᾽ likening of themselves, as they are mourning the two brothers, to a θυιάς (“maenad”, 836): the women are assimilated to maenadic figures as they are responding to the tragic outcome of the fratricidal confrontation. The “maenadic” element may thus be appraised as a motif which characterizes the whole action of Seven and, more specifically, the manic elements underlying the war
