Epic biography of Kraljević Marko in the poems from Kosovo and Metohija: An addition to the study of Marko's duels
No full textAmong folk epic poems from Kosovo and Metohija there is large number of those that tell about the heroic deeds and bravery of Marko Kraljević. To defeat so many strong and serious opponents, Marko did not only rely upon his physical strength, but was ready for deception and cunning, when his own survival was in danger. In this paper, through the review of certain poems, the author tries to reveal his characteristics: cleverness, adaptability and wisdom. All these lead to the clear outcome in epic poems: a victory of Marko Kraljević whose acts, for the difference of ethical, knightly, Christian-ideological medals, do not represent glorification
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 significance and role of godparents in wedding songs from Kosovo and Metohija
No full textAmong the numerous motifs celebrated in the lyrical folk poems of the Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija, there is also the motif of spiritual kinship (godfatherhood). Using examples from folk lyrical poems from this region, we examined the prevalence of the godfatherhood motif and the function of godfathers primarily in wedding poems where this motif is most prevalent. Poems collected by Ivan Stepanovich Yastrebov, Dena Debeljković, Vladimir Bovan, as well as poems published in the Constantinople Herald, were analysed. We noticed the significant importance of this type of spiritual kinship. Like in the folk tradition, poems also show that the godfather is considered almost equal to a saint in importance, and that his role in an individual's life cycle is significant, as is especially highlighted in the wedding rituals described and preserved in wedding oral-poetic material. In the complex ritual of transition, the godfather mediates between the groom and the ancestors, and the act of gifting, which is essential in the ritual itself and described in the poems, is associated with the sacrifice offered to the ancestors. We would emphasize those poems where, in terms of importance, the motif of spiritual kinship is equated with the motif of love. The preservation of the inviolability of this spiritual bond in some poems depends solely on the individual. Regardless of whether the godfather is seen as a mediator between the living and the ancestors, as an indispensable helper to the groom/initiate, as a potential betrayer, or as a potential opponent/enemy, the poems point to the sacredness that this spiritual bond inherently represents
Love of Marko Kraljević in epic folk poems from Kosovo and Metohija (motive for conflict and resolving key)
No full textLove of Marko Kraljević in heroic poems from Kosovo and Metohija has a significant place. Whether she is directly involved or her role is veiled, it is evident that without her epic biography of hero would not be complete. Faithfull love proves loyalty in crucial moments and with that justifies trust of her master.

Kraljević Marko (record of Dena Debeljković, international motive of the husband at his wife's wedding)
No full textThis thesis has aim to show some of motives in cycle of poems about Marko Kraljević where according to titles is not in Vuk’s collections of traditional poems and accent was placed on the poem "Marko at his wife’s wedding". Poem was analyzed through international motive "husband at his wife’s wedding " and in that way was brought in correlation with epic poem of uskoks cycle "Janković Stojan Slavery". Due to detection of high number of similarity beetwen this two poems, it will be about autochtony poems recorded in Kosovo and Metohija. Thanks to Dena Debeljković, recorder of folk epic poems in Kosovo and Metohija, Kraljević Marko is not described as heroy in battle, but as man who cares about the family safety, where, beneath all, is possibly hidden mentality of people from Kosovo and Metohija
