Stasis: study and translation of Sulpitius Victor\'s handbook
No full textEm nossa dissertação, estudamos o manual retórico de Sulpício Vítor, Institutiones Oratoriae. Nossa pesquisa é dividida em quatro partes. Na primeira, comentamos a bibliografia especializada que nos antecede, abordando questões importantes, como datação, ocorrência de alguns elementos retóricos e semelhança com outros manuais. Na segunda, comparamos os exemplos fornecidos por nosso autor com exercícios declamatórios, sobretudo os de Sêneca pai, mas também os de Calpúrnio Flaco e de Pseudo-Quintiliano. Na terceira, analisamos e explicamos a teoria dos estados de causa de Sulpício Vítor, comparando, sempre que possível, suas lições com as de outros textos. Na última, apresentamos uma tradução anotada para o português.In our dissertation, we study Sulpitius Victors rhetoric handbook, Institutiones Oratoriae. Our research is divided into four parts. The first consists of a commentary to the specialized bibliography that precedes us, addressing important issues, such as dating, occurrence of some rhetorical elements and similarities with other handbooks. The second aims to compare examples given by our author with declamation exercises, especially those ones of Seneca the Elder, but also the ones of Calpurnius Flaccus and of Ps. Quintilian. The third is dedicated to the analysis and elucidation of Sulpitius Victors issue-theory, as we compare, whenever possible, his lessons with the ones of other texts. The last includes an annotated Portuguese translation
Theoretical practices of argumentation: controversiae in the light of status theories
No full textInvestigamos duas declamações latinas de Ps. Quintiliano, as declamações menores 260 e 321, à luz de sete autores que trabalharam com as doutrinas dos estados de causa, os seguintes: Hermógenes, Cícero, Quintiliano, Sulpício Vítor, Fortunaciano, Caio Júlio Vítor, e o anônimo da Retórica a Herênio. Nosso objetivo é clarificar em que medida os exercícios práticos eram compostos a partir dos ensinamentos transmitidos pelos manuais teóricos. Queremos provar que possuíam íntima relação. Nesse itinerário, colhemos avanços angariados por estudiosos que nos precederam, a que tecemos considerações eventualmente críticas, mas que julgamos pertinentes, seja para clarificar as matérias investigadas, seja para mostrar o quanto nossa pesquisa se diferencia da bibliografia especializada. No capítulo inicial, fazemos arrazoado dos estudiosos modernos e delineamos alguns problemas. No segundo, investigamos a DMin. 260 à luz das lições sobre o estado de definição. No terceiro, investigamos a DMin. 321 à luz das lições sobre o estado da conjectura. Em ambos os casos, iniciamos por Hermógenes e o estabelecemos como ponto de apoio para avaliação das outras doutrinas, a fim de superar as dificuldades dessas matérias e de nossa investigação, que almejamos ser tão exaustiva quanto conseguirmos. Ao final, apresentamos traduções inéditas para o português dos casos investigadosWe investigate two Latin declamations of Ps. Quintilian, the minor declamations 260 and 321, in light of seven authors who worked with Stasis-Theory: Hermogenes, Cicero, Quintilian, Sulpicius Victor, Fortunatianus, C. Julius Victor, and the anonymous author of Rhetorica ad Herennium. Our aim is to clarify to what extent practical exercises were composed based on teachings transmitted by theoretical manuals. We intend to demonstrate their close relationship. Along this journey, we gather advances made by scholars who preceded us, to which we offer occasional critical considerations, but which we deem pertinent, either to clarify the subjects under investigation or to highlight how our research differs from specialized literature. In the initial chapter, we discuss modern scholars and outline some issues. In the second one, we examine DMin. 260 in light of lessons on the status of definition. In the third chapter, we investigate DMin. 321 in light of lessons on the status of conjecture. In both cases, we begin with Hermogenes and use him as a basis to evaluate other doctrines, aiming to overcome the difficulties of these subjects and our investigation, which we strive to make as exhaustive as possible. Finally, we present unpublished translations into Brazilian Portuguese of the cases under investigatio
Classical stasis theory and its argumentative application
No full textResumo: objetivamos apresentar a celebérrima teoria argumentativa dos estados de causa, embora esquecida, que norteou, e ainda norteia, a estruturação e tratamento de controvérsias políticas, tanto as fictícias como as reais. Para isso, cabe-nos dar seus contornos teóricos, devidamente acompanhados de exemplificação.Abstract: we shall exhibit the most famous argumentative stasis-theory, although forgotten, which guided, and still guides, the structuring and treatment of political controversies, both fictional and real ones. For that, we must provide it’s theorical outlines, properly accompanied by exemplification
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
