“All the difference between the sketch and the finished work”: Percorsi Genetici e Ricerca dell’Identità nei Romanzi di Virginia Woolf.
Get PDFThis thesis focuses on an analysis of some recurrent themes in the work of Virginia Woolf, in the perspective of Gender Studies, Biographical Studies and Genetic Studies. It deals with some of Woolf's major novels and it also presents a comparative analysis of her masterpiece "Mrs Dalloway" and of its manuscript, "The Hours", presently kept at the British Museum's Manuscript section.La tesi si occupa dell’indagine di alcune tematiche ricorrenti nell’opera di Virginia Woolf, avvalendosi degli strumenti offerti dagli studi di genere, dalle indagini biografiche e dalla critica genetica. Nel corso dell’analisi si è fatto infatti ampio ricorso ai carteggi personali dell’autrice, ai diari e si è proceduto ad un’analisi comparatistica del manoscritto di Mrs Dalloway conservato al British Museum di Londra
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
“She parted the curtains; she looked”: finestre spalancate su realtà apparentemente inconciliabili in Mrs Dalloway di Virginia Woolf
Get PDFMrs Dalloway is probably the most multifaceted and complex novel by Virginia Woolf; this complexity derives from the writer’s desire to represent life seen both from the points of view of the insane and the sane: “the world seen by the sane and the insane side by side” (D2, 14 ottobre 1922, p. 207). The novel, thus, is structured on two main plots, whose protagonists are Mrs Dalloway on one side (representing the ‘sane truth’) and the veteran Septimus Warren-Smith on the other (representing the ‘insane truth’). During one single day, the stories of the protagonists develop without intersecting in the city of London. In such a complex design, the window becomes a strong symbol of communication and connection between these two worlds which only seem to be detached and independent. Not only that, but since the beginning of the novel the window symbolises also the passage from a time frame to another, from the present moment to a more or less distant past, thus permitting the author to linger on the past of the characters, revealing aspects of their personalities that, otherwise, would remain unknown. This essay then will present the symbology of the window in Virginia Woolf’s novel through the analysis of the most effective episodes of Mrs Dalloway, where this object becomes a mean of communication between apparently disconnected realities like sanity and madness, youth and adulthood, past and present and life and death
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
