Kaum ein Motiv dürfte in solchem Maß komplexe und vielgesichtige Verbindungen zwischen der Antike und der Moderne bis hin zur Gegenwartskultur gestiftet haben und immer noch stiften wie das der Metamorphose. Die literarische Gestaltung von Verwandlungsgeschichten hat eine ebenso lange Geschichte wie die abendländische Literatur selbst
[Rezension zu:] Joachim Jacob u. Pascal Nicklas (Hg.): Palimpseste
No full textRezension zu Joachim Jacob u. Pascal Nicklas (Hg.): Palimpseste. Zur Erinnerung an Norbert Altenhofer, Heidelberg (Winter) 2004 (= Frankfurter Beiträge zur Germanistik; Bd. 41). 240 Seiten.
Die Herausgeber haben den Band der Erinnerung an Norbert Altenhofer gewidmet. Altenhofer selbst hatte sich einen Namen als ausgewiesener Heine-Spezialist gemacht, und so nimmt es nicht wunder, dass sich immerhin vier der insgesamt 12 Beiträge mit Heine beschäftigen. Die restlichen sind zumeist im Bereich der klassischen Moderne angesiedelt und spiegeln damit die komparatistischen Interessen Altenhofers wider. Schließlich folgen noch zwei Texte, die sich mit W. G. Sebald bzw. Günter Eich auseinandersetzen
[Rezension zu:] Angelika Corbineau-Hoffmann u. Pascal Nicklas (Hg.): Körper/Sprache
No full textRezension zu Angelika Corbineau-Hoffmann u. Pascal Nicklas (Hg.): Körper/Sprache. Ausdrucksformen der Leiblichkeit in Kunst und Wissenschaft, Hildesheim, Zürich, New York (Georg Olms) 2002 (= ECHO: Literaturwissenschaft im interdisziplinären Dialog; Bd. 1). 325 Seiten.
Der vorliegende Band widmet sich einem hochbrisanten Thema, welches aktuell, intensiv und gleichsam großflächig den akademischen Diskurs ebenso beschäftigt wie zahlreiche andere Bereiche gesellschaftlicher Praxis: Die Stichworte "Körper " und "Körperlichkeit" verweisen auf ein weitläufiges Gelände im Schnittfeld der Territorien von Natur, Geschichte und Kunst; sie verweisen vor allem aber auch auf eine Fülle kultureller Praktiken, deren gemeinsamer Grundnenner das Interesse am menschlichen Körper ist: an seiner Gestaltbarkeit, Planbarkeit, Beeinflußbarkeit, ja Machbarkeit, an seiner Bedingtheit und Hinfälligkeit, an seinem Ausdruckspotential und seiner Semantisierbarkeit, an seinen ästhetischen Valenzen und Potentialen etc
Toward an Aesthetics of Adaptation in Empirical Research
Full text linkIn their article Toward an Aesthetics of Adaptation in Empirical Research Marion Behrens, Christian Kell, and Pascal Nicklas discuss the requirements and potential of empirical research into the reception of adaptations: adaptation is one key strategy in the creation of literature and art in general. The creative process and product of adaptation has its counter-part on the side of reception. Empirical research into the aesthetics of adaptation aims at the experimental elucidation of the physiological background and the establishment of a model describing the perceptual underpinnings of the act of seeing an adaptation as adaptation. This implies evolutionary biological reasoning concerning the memory tasks required for this kind of perception and experimental work showing neuronal, psychological and perceptual specificities contrasting acts of reception of artistic and non-artistic stimuli. A particularly promising arena for model building research lies in poetic language and rhetorical structures of repetition
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
