A FORMAL ANALYSIS ON TOLSTOY’S “GOD SEES THE TRUTH BUT WAITS” AND “A GRAIN AS BIG AS A HEN'S EGG”
No full textA Formal Analysis on Tolstoy’s God Sees The Truth but Waits and A Grain as Big
as a Hen’s Egg; Retno Tri Wulansari, 070110191033; 2013; English Department,
Faculty of Letters, Jember University.
This thesis deals with formalist analysis which concerns on the analysis of
selected short stories TOLSTOY’S “GOD SEES THE TRUTH BUT WAITS” AND “A
GRAIN AS BIG AS A HEN'S EGG”. The problem in this thesis is the language used in
both short stories above because the language used in the stories is different from
daily language. Hence, the goal of the study is to find out why different language
occurs.
The language used in literary works performs as “art as thinking in images”
which is closely related to the study of formalism. Formalism emphasizes on the
beautiful letters in conveying message that does not occur in daily spoken language.
This “art is thinking in images” relates to the creative process of the author to convert
the fabula into sjuzhet that appears as estrangement. In away “art is thinking in
images” talks about fabula, sjuzhet and estrangement as whole. Estrangement is
indeed a process of making an object strange, to touch only the senses of the object,
hence the object is not really important because the reader can perceive the idea
through the arts within the story. Thus, this writing is projected to give more
explanation on how the arts may perform in the story. Furthermore, it will give a new
way of perspective to see difference of the language used in literary works.
The data applied in this writing is qualitative data. In this case, the words or
sentences data are applied. Data collection in this thesis is documentary study. The
data is documented from Tolstoy’s selected short stories. This thesis is a descriptive
study which function is to identify the use of Fabula and Sjuzhet as well as
Estrangement. Those three terms are nothing but instruments to perform art in the
language used in literary works. In this manner, the language written in the universe
of literature can be distinguished from the daily language. Art however is something
really important in this study.
For the final comment, The God Sees the Truth but Waits displays more
sjuzhets since many object are becoming odd, and they never be explained directly
but to imply it using close reading. Not to mention the length of the story, God Sees
the Truth but Waits serves more examples of the sjuzhet. The images of the rich guy
yet pious person are the main theme of the story. While A Grain as Big as a Hen’s
Egg presents less sjuzhet because not many objects are illustrated in images, more
direct expression is applied and the length of the story. Thus, the image of the past
and the present becomes clearer.The result of this thesis indicates that there is a very
systematic process to generate meaning, idea, and notion through images. The
occurrence of arts proves that the language is beautiful. However the creativity of
Tolstoy is challenged to estrange the objec
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
