    Z psiej perspektywy. Zookrytyczna edukacja na przykładzie filmu Wśród ludzi (1960) Władysława Ślesickiego

    No full text
    The article presents a university course project aimed at a zoocritical analysis of the documentary film Among Men (1960), directed by Władysław Ślesicki, which depicts the lives of stray dogs in an urban environment. The film has previously been viewed from an anthropocentric perspective, interpreting the animals’ fate as a metaphor for the human condition. The author proposes a zoocritical “rewriting” of the film, revealing historical and film-historical contexts from the canine point of view.Artykuł przedstawia projekt zajęć uniwersyteckich, których celem jest zookrytyczna analiza filmu dokumentalnego Wśród ludzi (1960) w reżyserii Władysława Ślesickiego, prezentującego życie bezpańskich psów w przestrzeni miasta. Dotychczasowy odbiór dzieła nastawiony był na antropocentryczną interpretację losów zwierzęcia, które miałyby stanowić metaforę losu ludzkiego. Autorka proponuje zookrytyczne „przepisanie” filmu, uruchamiające konteksty historyczne i historycznofilmowe, podejmowane z psiej perspektywy

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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

    Łódź w Narodzie zatracenia Macieja Świerkockiego i Mariusza Sołtysika

    No full text
    The ocus of this text is the 2014 graphic novel Lost Souls by Maciej Świerkocki (author of the idea and all texts) and Mariusz Sołtysik (graphic designer), set during World War II in a location identifiable as the Litzmannstadt Ghetto – a segregated area of the city where the Jewish population was confined and isolated by German occupation authorities. The article explores how the work engages with the city of Łódź, examining in detail the dimensions in which this occurs. The authors pay particular attention to the topographical markers anchoring the story, clear historical determinants influencing the work’s content and form, as well as the thematic references within its verbal and visual layers. Additionally, they address aspects such as the work’s origin, publication sponsorship, reception, and the creators’ biographical backgrounds. The authors propose that future studies of the city’s representation should also consider how it is portrayed in hybrid formats that merge word and image – of which the comic form is just one example.Artykuł koncentruje się na opublikowanej w 2014 r. powieści graficznej Naród zatracenia Macieja Świerkockiego (autor koncepcji oraz warstwy tekstowej) i Mariusza Sołtysika (twórca oprawy graficznej), której fabuła została umocowana w realiach II wojny światowej w przestrzeni możliwej do zidentyfikowania jako Litzmannstadt-Getto (wydzielony obszar miasta, gdzie na mocy zarządzeń niemieckich władz okupacyjnych skoszarowana i odseparowana została ludność żydowska). Autorki ukazują, jak utwór konfrontuje się z Łodzią, i szczegółowo omawiają wymiary, w jakich to czyni. Zwracają zwłaszcza uwagę na sygnały topograficznego umocowania miejsca akcji, czytelne determinanty historyczne rzutujące na treść i formę dzieła oraz liczne odwołania tematyczne w warstwie werbalnej i wizualnej, a także na takie kwestie jak geneza utworu, jego patronat wydawniczy, recepcja, biograficzne uwarunkowania twórców. Jednocześnie formułują postulat, by badania nad wizerunkiem miasta skupić też w przyszłości na tym, jak funkcjonuje ono w splocie słowa i obrazu w przekazach, w których dochodzi do kooperacji tworzyw, czego forma komiksowa jest tylko jednym z przykładów

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We 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
