Για μια συλλογική προσωπογραφία μεταφραστών του 19ου αιώνα
No full text«Μόνο μέσω των μεταφραστών και του κοινωνικού τους περιβάλλοντος (τους πελάτες, προστάτες, αναγνώστες) μπορούμε να καταλάβουμε γιατί δημιουργήθηκαν οι μεταφράσεις σε συγκεκριμένο χρόνο και τόπο», παρατηρεί ο Anthony Pym (1998). Μολονότι τα τελευταία χρόνια έχουν γραφτεί πολλά στην Ελλάδα για την ιστορία της λογοτεχνικής μετάφρασης, ελάχιστες μελέτες αφορούν τους μεταφραστές. Σε αυτό το άρθρο προτείνεται μια τυπολογία των Ελλήνων μεταφραστών του 19ου αιώνα, ειδικότερα των ετών 1830–1900, με βάση τα ακόλουθα κριτήρια: σκοπός της μετάφρασης, εκδοτικό μέσο (βιβλίο, περιοδικό, εφημερίδα), παρουσία ενδιάμεσου (εκδότη, διευθυντή εφημερίδας) και αναγνωστικό κοινό. Ανακαλώντας συγκεκριμένα παραδείγματα, ο συγγραφέας ξεχωρίζει διάφορους τύπους μεταφραστή, όπως αυτών του ευκαιριακού, ασκούμενου ή παιδαγωγού, λόγιου, σκαπανέα–εκδότη και επιφυλλιδικού μεταφραστή, που βιοπορίζεται στις εφημερίδες.“Only trough translators and their social entourage (clients, patrons, readers) can we try to understand why translations were produced in a particular historical time and place,” suggests Anthony Pym (1998). However, while many studies on literary translations have been published in Greece in recent years, only a few have focused on the figure of the translator. In this paper, the author proposes a typology of literary translators from 1830 to 1900, based on various criteria: the purpose of the translation, the means of publication (book, review, or newspaper), the presence or absence of an intermediary (such as a publisher or newspaper editor), and the readers. Using specific examples, he distinguishes between different types of translators: the would-be translator or amateur, the apprentice (pupil or student) or teacher, the erudite translator, the writer who runs a newspaper, and the anonymous ‘worker’ who translates serial novels for daily newspapers.
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
The Void of the Precariat: The Representation of the Precariat
No full textThe precariat is the new emerging global social class. Its representation is crucial since its numbers are growing. How the precariat is represented in the film Advantageous is analysed from a multimodal critical discourse analysis perspectives, as well as from the theoretical framework of this project. The precariat is not represented to the extend that their needs and aspirations are addressed and understood
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
