Antigone transgenica. Nuove indagini critiche tra genere distopico e mitologia
No full textIn the 20th century, it is common to find some rewritings of classical myths set in post-apocalyptic scenarios. The aim of this paper is to propose an innovative research field that combine the study of dystopian literature and myth criticism. The new myth-critical approach considers three social innovations: informatization, which is essential in dystopian literature as well; migration and postcolonial literature, which is linked to the concept of the otherness science fiction thrives on; and finally, consumerism, which leads to eternal technical reproducibility, also presented in the dystopian works, especially in the concept of cloning. A concrete example are the dystopian adaptations of the myth of Antigone: the movie I Cannibali by Liliana Cavani, the epistolary novel In the Country of Last Things by Paul Auster, and the play Antígona Gelada by the portuguese author Armando Nascimento Rosa.Nel XX secolo non è raro trovare riscritture di miti classici ambientati in situazioni post-apocalittiche e futuri remoti. Lo scopo dell’articolo è proporre un campo di ricerca innovativo, in cui studio del genere distopico e mitocritica si intrecciano. Il nuovo approccio mitocritico tiene conto di tre innovazioni sociali: l’informatizzazione, indispensabile anche alla letteratura distopica; la migrazione e la letteratura postcoloniale, che si lega al concetto di altro di cui la letteratura fantascientifica si nutre; e infine il consumismo, che porta all’eterna riproducibilità tecnica, rintracciabile anche nel genere distopico e nel concetto di clonazione. Un esempio pratico di quanto detto sono i riadattamenti distopici del mito di Antigone: I Cannibali di Liliana Cavani, il romanzo epistolare In The Country of Last Things di Paul Auster, e la pièce Antígona Gelada dell’autore portoghese Armando Nascimento Rosa
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
«En ese límite entre la vida y la muerte»: Exile from Historical Condition to Ontological Category in María Zambrano through the Figure of Antigone
No full textMaría Zambrano, a 20th-century Spanish philosopher and writer, engaged with the figure of Antigone across multiple contexts; in fact, the Sophoclean figure emerges as a recurring motif in her work, reinterpreted in accordance with her poetic vision and philosophical inquiry. This contribution aims to reconstruct the philosophical reflection developed by María Zambrano around the condition of exile, using Antigone as a central symbolic reference. Through a symbolic and poetic elaboration of this tragic character, Zambrano progressively develops a conception of exile that transcends its strictly historical dimension, gradually acquiring an anthropological and literary significance, in line with the interpretative categories proposed by José Luis Abellán. From this perspective, her work offers a genuine phenomenology of exile, where the biographical experience is interwoven with a broader ontological and philosophical meditation.María Zambrano, a 20th-century Spanish philosopher and writer, engaged with the figure of Antigone across multiple contexts; in fact, the Sophoclean figure emerges as a recurring motif in her work, reinterpreted in accordance with her poetic vision and philosophical inquiry.

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
