Concepção e diversidade do romance modernista: Uma perspectiva para o caso brasileiro
No full textThe number of novels in Brazilian modernism is generally associated with a limited amount of titles from the 1920s, which suggests, by their formal aspect, a distance from the narrative techniques commonly related to fiction in historical realism. Thus, at least two complications arise: this distance is not restricted to few novels from the 1920s, and the realist techniques are not completely disassociated from the genre’s own nature. These complications suggest the need for a review of the concept of modernist novel in Brazilian literature, bearing in mind, on the one hand, the connections between the variety and the permanence of the realist narrative as well as the diversity of the modernizing contents; and, on the other hand, an interest in the continuity of the experimental processes in the history of this genre. By considering the notion of “intensive novel” (Hermann Broch), the goal of this essay is to contribute to this review in an effort to promote a different perspective for the study of the modernist novel in Brazilian literature.Identifica-se em geral o romance modernista brasileiro com uma quantidade limitada de títulos dos anos 1920, o que sugere, pelo aspecto formal, distância dos procedimentos narrativos comumente vinculados à ficção do realismo histórico. Surgem duas complicações: essa distância não se restringe a poucos romances da década de 1920, e as técnicas realistas não se dissociam da natureza do gênero. Tais complicações apontam para uma revisão do conceito de romance modernista na literatura brasileira, atenta por um lado para os vínculos entre a variedade e a permanência da narrativa realista, e a diversidade dos conteúdos modernizantes; e, por outro lado, interessada na continuidade dos processos experimentais na história do gênero. O objetivo deste ensaio, partindo da noção de “romance intensivo”, tal como a formulou Hermann Broch (1975), é contribuir para essa revisão, favorecendo outra perspectiva para o estudo do romance modernista na literatura brasileira
"Ventos de não deixar se formar orvalho" : os romances "Berlin Alexanderplatz" e "Grande Sertão: Veredas"
No full textThe parallel between the novels "Berlin Alexanderplatz" and "Grande Sertão: Veredas" was first drawn within the Brazilian literary criticism in a comment made by Davi Arrigucci Jr. With the intent of pursuing the discussion raised by the author, this article proposes a more detailed analysis of the elements which define both texts as representative works of the modern novel discourse. The analysis focuses on the movements which characterize the trajectories taken by the protagonists Franz Biberkopf and Riobaldo, with a view on the characters' transit in space, as well as emotionally, and also in regard to the transit that operates the narration within both novels. In this light, the article outlines the particularities which situate both novels within the tradition that associates them with the books "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" and "L’Éducation Sentimentale".Die Parallelen zwischen den Romanen "Berlin Alexanderplatz" und "Grande Sertão: Veredas" werden in der brasilianischen Sekundärliteratur seit Davi Arrigucci Jr.s Kommentar sichtbar. In der Absicht, die dort begonnene Diskussion fortzusetzen, werden hier die Elemente im Detail untersucht, die beide Texte als Exponenten des modernen Romans einander annähern würden. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt den für die Laufbahn beider Protagonisten charakteristischen Bewegungen, den räumlichen und emotionalen Veränderungen der Figuren sowie insbesondere dem "Verkehr", der die Erzählung in beiden Romanen vorantreibt. Hiermit sollen die Besonderheiten dieser Romane, die sie in einer gemeinsamen Traditionslinie mit "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" und der "L’Éducation Sentimentale" verorten
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
