Life-writing and modernism: Max Saunders on autobiografiction
No full textArtykuł stanowi analizę i wprowadzenie do zamieszczonego dalej tekstu Maxa Saundersa Autobiografikcja. Eksperymenty z życiopisaniem od przełomu wieków po modernizm. Autorka objaśnia pochodzenie i znaczenie tytułowego pojęcia autobiografikcji, a następnie przedstawia stanowisko Saundersa w debacie na ten temat. Poddawszy krytycznemu omówieniu najważniejsze konteksty tego mniej znanego w polskim dyskursie akademickim zagadnienia, przybliża w konkluzji wnioski Saundersa, który przekonuje, iż zjawisko zacierającej się granicy między faktem a fikcją w pisarstwie autobiograficznym należy datować nie na czasy najnowsze, lecz na znacznie wcześniejszy okres modernizmu.The article is an analysis to Max Saunders’ research paper entitled „Autobiografiction: Experimental Life-Writing from the Turn of the Century to Modernism”. The Author explains the meaning and origins of the term „autobiografiction”, as well as introduces the Reader to Sunders’ approach to the matter. She also offers a commentary to this issue as well as to Saunders’ argument, that the process of blurrying the divide between fact and fiction in autobiography should be by far precedes the contemporary claims
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
The birth of the Reader doesn't mean death of the Author
No full textThe reviewed book of the modern English theorist of a modernism Max Saunders, Selfimpression: Life-Writing, Autobiografiction and the Forms of Modern Literature, offers original research of a phenomenon of the life-writing. Saunders analyzes, in parallel with critical work concerning the autobiography in fiction, works of the first row of the European literary modernism and postmodernism with 1870 for 1930. He offers new treatment of dialogue of the author - hero - reader, caused by the selfimpression-autobiography of the reader as reaction to the selfimpression-biography of the author put in the text. For this purpose the scientist assorts as, in what ways writers unite life-writing with a fiction. As a result Saunders's research forces to reconsider the settled concepts about the autogenic hero and a parity of the author - hero - reader, especially in Soviet-Russian scientific tradition
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
