Davor Špišić’s ‘Welcome to the war!’. Apocalypse in the time of crisis
No full textThe aim of this article is to discuss Davor Špišić’s play Dobrodošli u rat. By means of allusion to the genre of science fiction and to George Miller’s cinematographic creation Mad Max, the author defines the shape of the reality around him, which constitutes a sort of fulfilled apocalypse. Through references to the media and to the phenomena of popular culture, Špišić tells of a world in a critical state, experiencing a civilisational catastrophe
The plays of Tituš Brezovački against the background of Croatian Kajkavian literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
No full textWydział Filologii Polskiej i KlasycznejCelem pracy jest rozwinięcie i poszerzenie dotychczas w chorwackim literaturoznawstwie wyzyskiwanych możliwości interpretacyjnych o konteksty, idee i wartości dotychczas nieuwzględniane, bądź uważane za marginalne. Twórczość kajkawskiego pisarza ukazana zostaje na tle kajkawskiej literatury XVIII i XIX w., potraktowanej jako składowa część szerszego, europejskiego universum. Konstatacja o naturalnym uczestnictwie dramatów Brezovačkiego w kulturowym krwioobiegu epoki Oświecenia, pozwala postrzegać je w kontekście tradycji chrześcijańskiej (Sv. Aleksi), wspólnoty tematów i konwencji estetycznych charakterystycznych dla obszaru pozostającego pod władzą Habsburgów (Matijaš Grabancijaš dijak), czy m. in. oświeceniowego współwystępowania tematów i wzorców osobowych, zaczerpniętych z antyku i chrześcijaństwa (Diogeneš). Wśród dziedzin, dostarczających narzędzi dla analizy i interpretacji wymienionych dramatów znajdują się literaturoznawstwo, teatrologia, folklorystyka, historia duchowości chrześcijańskiej, historia społeczna, historia Kościoła w wymiarze lokalnym i powszechnym, historia i teoria muzyki i tańca, a także teoria symboli. Utwory kajkawskiego pisarza ukazane zostają jako zapis zarówno aksjologicznych jak i estetycznych uwarunkowań, charakterystycznych dla swojej epoki, a kajkawski kontekst twórczości Titusa Brezovačkiego służy nie tyle wykazaniu specyficzności realizacji propozycji uniwersalnego modelu, co potwierdza osiągnięcia chorwackiego artysty jako pełnoprawnego jego uczestnika.The output of the Kajkavian writer, Tituš Brezovački is shown against the background of Kajkavian literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth century, treated as a constituent part of the wider European universum. Establishing the natural place of Brezovački’s plays within the literature of the Age of Enlightenment enables us to perceive them in their respective contexts: the Christian tradition (Sv. Aleksi), the shared pool of themes and aesthetic conventions that were characteristic of the Habsburg realm (Matijaš Grabancijaš dijak), and the co-occurrence of themes and role models taken inter alia from antiquity and Christianity (Diogeneš). The adopted approach to the Croatian playwright’s oeuvre encompasses a variety of interpretative possibilities offered by different humanistic disciplines. The fields providing tools for analysing and interpreting the plays in question include literary, theatre and folklore studies, the history of Christian spirituality and of the Church on a local and global level, social history, the history and theory of music and dance, and also the theory of symbols. The author attempts to illuminate the analysed works, treated as interesting documents of their times, in a complex and historically adequate way. The plays of Tituš Brezovački are shown as a record of the axiological and aesthetic conditions characteristic of his age, and the Kajkavian context serves not so much to ground the specificities of his proposition of a universal model as to confirm his achievements as a fully-fledged contributor to that model
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
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
