La tradizione prosimetrica in volgare da Dante a Bembo. Atti del convegno internazionale di studi (Venezia, 26-27 giugno 2023)
Get PDFThe present volume brings together papers given at the International Conference on the vernacular tradition of the prosimetrum from Dante to Bembo, which took place last summer at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice at the end of a Marie Sklodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellowship. The conference followed on from a seminar held at the University of Trento over twenty-five years ago; however, the focus was on the mixed texts composed in the early centuries instead of embracing the entire period of Italian literature. The bibliography on these vernacular works considered as a whole is quite limited in comparison to that on the prosimetric production in classical and medieval Latin. Further, it is difficult to establish a satisfactory definition of prosimetrum which goes beyond the etymological meaning described – with few different nuances – in both the early Artes Dictandi and in modern treatises of metrics. Dante’s Vita Nova, the first – and in many respects exceptional – example of this vernacular tradition, does not offer a suitable model for the abundant prosimetra written in the subsequent two centuries, which were characterized by a considerable variety of themes and genres. Therefore, it seemed preferable to reconsider the subject and look closely at all those texts in which the evident alternation of prose sections and poetic compositions conformed to a precise authorial intent on the basis of a relationship of mutual dependence. The papers collected here are intended to offer fresh insights into both famous and lesser-known prosimetra, written between approximately 1250 and 1500, in order to advance our understanding of this hybrid literary phenomenon. Each contributor takes a single prosimetrum focusing either on the interaction between prose and verse or any other relevant aspect, such as textual tradition and critical analysis of the poems, in line with the standard form that was used to examine the works included in the online inventory available at www.unive.it/inprov
InProV: un inventario dei prosimetri in volgare dalla "Vita Nova" di Dante agli "Asolani" del Bembo
No full textThe early Italian literary record comprises a significant number of prosimetric works, alongside texts written entirely in verse or in prose: well-known prosimetra include Dante's Vita nova, Boccaccio's Ameto, Sannazaro's Arcadia and Bembo's Asolani. While individual prosimetra have often been studied in depth, more consistent, large-scale research into this category of texts is a more recent phenomenon, still lacking thorough investigation. The InProV research project aims to provide a comprehensive inventory of Italian vernacular prosimetra composed between 1250 and 1500. By analyzing the complete resulting corpus, the project aims to provide better insight into the development of this diverse literary tradition, which originates unquestionably with Dante's Vita nova
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
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
