René Metras, un hombre de nuestro tiempo. Galeria René Metras y la vanguardia estética en Barcelona
No full textEl propósito de este trabajo es reconocer y poner de relieve la figura, no siempre reconocida en los medios artísticos actuales de un hombre, René Metras. Vinculado desde los años cuarenta a movimientos artísticos catalanes de posguerra, participó con los intelectuales y jóvenes artistas catalanes, con su esfuerzo, ímpetu y dedicación personal, siendo una figura muy significativa en los primeros momentos de las vanguardias del arte español de los años 50 y 60. En octubre de 1962 abre las puertas de la galería que lleva su nombre, en la calle Consejo de Ciento, 331 de Barcelona alentado por la idea de mostrar al público barcelonés un arte distinto e innovador al que se mostraba en la mayoría de las galerías de arte. Pionero en mostrar lo que pasaba fuera de nuestro país, desde su inauguración apostó por las vanguardias europeas y, en sus salas, pudo verse por primera vez a los grandes artistas del siglo XX; promovió, fiel a su ideario, a jóvenes y relevantes artistas catalanes y del resto de la Península, defendiendo con pureza y rigor el arte abstracto e informalista. René Metras no sólo abrió sus puertas a Barcelona, también abrió Barcelona al mundo artístico internacional, siendo su galería un referente mundial de la vanguardia estética de Barcelona
The René Metras Gallery : shocking neutrality
No full textEn su apertura, en 1962, la galería René Metras impactó por su modernidad, pionera en el país. Contrastaba con el conservadurismo decimonónico de los espacios galerísticos de posguerra. Basándose en una interpretación dúctil y refinada, a la vez que intuitiva, del estilo internacional, con puntos en común pero también singularidades respecto de sus maestros del Grupo R, los arquitectos Balari, Bastardes y Schimdt supieron crear un entorno vaguardista, cosmopolita y funcional. Soluciones ingeniosas halladas con espíritu bricoleur y el refinamiento de las cerámicas negras de Cumella, de poética informalista, matizaban el incipiente modelo museográfico del White CubeThe gallery René Metras was impressive from the day of its inauguration, in 1962 by its pioneer modernity. It contrasted with the nineteenth-century conservatism of the post-war gallery spaces. The architects Balari, Bastardes and Schimdt were able to create an avant-garde, cosmopolitan and functional environment based on a ductile and refined interpretation, as well as an intuitive, international style, with common points but also singularities with respect to their teachers from the Grup R. The ingenious solutions found with bicolour spirit and the renaissance of the black ceramics of Cumella, of informalistic poetics, qualified the incipient museum-graphic model of the White Cube
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Thursday Murder Club: Launching a megabrand author - a publishing case study
No full textIn 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author
