Identidades y fronteras en "El Criticón" de Baltasar Gracián
No full textThis paper analyzes the themes of identity and border in El Criticón by Baltasar Gracián as they propose themselves during the journey of the two protagonists of this work. The wanderings of Critilo and Andrenio
throughout the towns of Spain and 17th-century Europe allow the reader
to reflect upon vices and virtues of the lands the two pilgrims go through.
In several instances the Criticón emphasizes the importance of symbolical, political, geographical and – above all – religious borders. These crossings allow the two pilgrims to construct, by comparing the human stereotypes
in the several countries they visit, their notion of Spanish identity and, more widely, the ideal features of the prudent and wise man, capable to cross any border, even the one between life and death
I confini del silenzio
No full textQuesto breve intervento si propone di illustrare alcuni esempi letterari in cui il silenzio si fa limite, soglia invalicabile, confine quasi tangibile nella relazione fra i personaggi del racconto. Un limite che può rivelarsi salutare, quando ad esempio evidenzia il recupero della propria indipendenza a chiusura di una relazione d’amore letale (come quella fra Didone ed Enea) o permette l’avvio di una crescita autonoma (il bambino che nel silenzio si percepisce separato dalla madre in Erri De Luca) o mortifero, quando ad esempio impedisce la manifestazione di sentimenti vitali ma che il contesto rende illegittimi (come per i protagonisti del Silenzio del mare di Vercors). Un diverso silenzio, che pure fa da confine fra mondi contrapposti, è quello che nel romanzo di J.M. Coetzee intitolato Foe isola in un autismo accusatorio lo schiavo di Robinson Crusoe, Venerdì, cui da bambino i mercanti di schiavi hanno tagliato la lingua
Poesía de cancionero y poesía italianizante en los libros de caballerías. Entre Feliciano de Silva y Pedro de la Sierra
No full textLos libros de caballerías guardan una mina de poesía lírica y narrativa di tipo cancioneril o de tendencia italianizante, que hasta ahora se ha estudiado tan solo esporádicamente. El ensayo presenta un recorrido a lo largo del siglo XVI, a partir del Amadís de Gaula hasta el Espejo de príncipes y caballeros, revisa la bibliografía pertinente y destaca la variedad de estos insertos poéticos, el vasto abanico de posibilidades temáticas y métricas desplegado por autores caballerescos como Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo, Feliciano de Silva y Pedro de la Sierr
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
La escena imprevisible: gais, lesbianas y transgéneros en el teatro de los siglos XX y XXI [a modo de introducción]
No full textAunque la expresión de sexualidades e identidades de género no normativas es una constante a lo largo de la historia del teatro, su visibilidad como tema de investigación es un hito reciente en el campo de los estudios teatrales. Los heterogéneos centros y entornos de la producción teatral actual conforman una diáspora discursiva, histórica y geográficamente construida, cuya multiplicidad de representaciones merece ser revisada y analizada desde el punto de vista de identidades sexuales y de género habitualmente no contempladas en el canon. Dicho proceso cobra fuerza en el teatro contemporáneo y se hace patente en artefactos dramatúrgicos y escénicos que conforman un universo poético singular. Se trata de un teatro imprevisible en el que se ponen de manifiesto, por un lado, los engranajes que determinan la visibilidad o invisibilidad de colectivos marginados, conllevando una clara vertiente política: los cuerpos y discursos desempeñan un papel clave en el cuestionamiento de rasgos identitarios o en la deconstrucción de conceptos fijos en torno a la subjetividad, visibilizando lugares de resistencia y alteridades ajenas a la norma. Por otro lado, a un nivel estético, lo imprevisible reafirma el texto y la escena como lugares de experimentación metafórica sobre lo humano en sus más distintas acepciones y ejercicios del deseo
