No full textThe aim of this translation project is to bring to public knowledge and give visibility to one of the greatest icons of Japanese fiction and literary mystery. Edogawa Rampo (1894-1965), as he is known, is the author of several short stories and detective novels, many of which have been translated into English, some into French, but except for the non-official translation of the manga – the internationally known Japanese comic books – published by Junji Itõ, no other translations of his work were found in Portuguese language.Com este projeto de tradução busca-se trazer ao conhecimento público e dar visibilidade a um dos maiores ícones da ficção e do mistério literário japonês. Edogawa Rampo (1894-1965), como é conhecido, é autor de diversos contos e romances policiais, dos quais muitos traduzidos para a língua inglesa, alguns para a língua francesa, porém, à exceção da tradução livre de uma adaptação feita por Junji Ito para o manga – as internacionalmente conhecidas histórias em quadrinhos japonesas –, não se localizaram traduções de seu trabalho para a língua portuguesa
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
Literatura traduzida de Murasaki Shikibu: análise paratextual em Genji Monogatari
Get PDFTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014A milenar obra Genji Monogatari da literatura clássica japonesa de Murasaki Shikibu é considerada o primeiro romance escrito por uma mulher. Sob o viés dos Estudos da Tradução, este estudo visa a investigar percursos tradutológicos desta obra seminal entre os idiomas japonês e português, inicialmente redigida no idioma japonês do período Heian (794-1185) e posteriormente traduzida para o japonês moderno pelas mãos de autores como Yosano Akiko (1912-13; 1938-9), Tanizaki Junichirõ (1939-41; 1951-4; 1965) e Setouchi Jakuchõ (1992; 1996). Difundida no ocidente sobretudo através de traduções para a língua inglesa, a obra circula em versões em espanhol, francês, italiano, árabe, português de Portugal, dentre outras, mas apesar de sua relevância no cenário cultural e político literários em geral, a obra ainda é inédita no Brasil. Em virtude das diferenças entre as duas culturas em questão, ou seja, a japonesa e a brasileira, as considerações acerca da análise do processo tradutório serão norteadas pelos postulados teóricos de Gideon Toury (1995) e Antoine Berman (2007), que discutem o papel do tradutor como mediador (inter)cultural. Considerando ainda que grande parte das traduções de Genji Monogatari foi realizada de forma indireta, objetiva-se enfocar elementos de natureza paratextual com base principalmente nas orientações teóricas e metodológicas de Gérard Genette (2009) e José Yuste Frías (2006; 2012).Abstract: Genji Monogatari, the timeless work of Japanese classic literature, by Murasaki Shikibu, is considered the first romance written by a woman. Through the prism of Translation Studies, this study aims to investigate translational paths of such seminal work between Japanese and Portuguese languages, originally conceived in the Japanese language from the Heian period (794-1185) and later translated into modern Japanese by the hands of authors such as Yosano Akiko (1912-13; 1938-9); Tanizaki Junichirõ (1939-41; 1951-4; 1965) e Setouchi Jakuchõ (1992; 1996). Disseminated in the western world predominantly through translations in English, the work is available in Spanish, French, Italian, Arabic and Portuguese (from Portugal) versions, but despite relevance in the cultural and political scenario of literature in general, the masterpiece remains unpublished in Brazil. Due to existing linguistic-cultural distances between said languages, i.e. Japanese-Brazilian Portuguese, the considerations regarding the analysis of the translation process will be guided by GideonToury (1995) and Antoine Berman's (2007) theoretical postulates, which discuss the role of the translator as an (inter)cultural mediator. Considering the majority of Genji Monogatari translations was conducted in an indirect form, the goal is also to focus elements of paratextual nature based, mainly, on the theoretical and methodological orientations of Gérard Genette (2009) and José Yuste Frías (2006; 2012)
