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
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
W dialogu z tradycją. Łacińskie źródła foricoenium 42 i 52
No full textThe purpose of this article is to find latin influences on Jan Kochanowski's Foricoenia 42 and 52. In the past, scholars focused their efforts especially on greek influences on Foricoenia. The importance of these influences is beyond doubt, nethertheless this article discusses the presensce of latin authors as Lucretius and especially Horace in the two texts. In this case, allusions to these two ancient authors helps to interpretate the epigrams better than the connections with the greek tradition (Aesop)

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
O sposobach finalizowania przez Jana Kochanowskiego poszczególnych segmentów własnej twórczości – nowe spojrzenie na problem tzw. architektury Fraszek
Get PDFThe article constitutes an attempt at elaborating upon a distinguishable type of text composition appearing in the parts that conclude individual books of Jan Kochanowski’s Fraszki. What is especially emphasized by the author of the article is a peculiar, in terms of convention, way of crowning the collection by two epigraphs whose character is obviously obscene: Marcinowa powieść (III 85) and O flisie (III 86). In the light of the argumentation presented, the sense of the poets’ concept implemented therein should be sought in a much dichotomous relationship between the two said fraszkas and the preceding poem Na słup kamienny (III 84), but also in the figure of achieving a defined aim, which appears in both the fraszkas. The author of the article also considers some correspondences occurring between the fraszka O flisie and the pieces Na most warszewski (II 106–108) and the elegy III 15.The article constitutes an attempt at elaborating upon a distinguishable type of text composition appearing in the parts that conclude individual books of Jan Kochanowski’s Fraszki.

Notes in the Margin of Edition of a Basilian Poem The Massacre of the Innocents
No full textThis paper is intended to gather some remarks regarding a first published late-Baroque poem The
Massacre of the Innocents, being an anonymous Polish translation of Giambattista Marino’ s work. After
giving a sketchy characterization of the poem and displaying the main reasons of its publication, the author proceeds to conclusions drawn from the simultaneous reading of three existing versions of the Polish text survived in one of the Ossolineum manuscripts. He dwells on the paths the translator takes arduously forming and transforming his version of the Italian poem, pointing out the main types of corrections he makes and trying to present a reasonable explanation for his artistic choices. The paper intends though to shape a more profound picture of the work taking into account not only the final (or the one considered to be such) form of the text but also all the traces of the translator’ s continuous labour conserved in the extant versions of the Polish poem.Udostępnienie publikacji Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego finansowane w ramach projektu „Doskonałość naukowa kluczem do doskonałości kształcenia”.

"Parthenopea lues", czyli o ostatecznym rozstaniu z Lidią. Glosa do elegii III 17 Jana Kochanowskiego
No full textAutor wskazuje i poddaje analizie wszystkie pojawiające się w twórczości Jana Kochanowskiego wzmianki o Neapolu i Kampanii, które odwiedzić miał okazję poeta w 1555 r. Jednym z takich przypadków jest pojawiające się w łacińskiej elegii III 17 sformułowanie"Parthenopea lues", które stanowi peryfrastyczne określenie syfilisu, choroby, jaka w czasach Kochanowskiego doprowadziła do śmierci wielu Europejczyków. Wzmianka ta wchodzi w obręb rozbudowanej tyrady wymierzonej w niewymienioną z imienia kobietę, która - zgodnie z żarliwie wypowiadanymi życzeniami podmiotu mówiącego - zapłacić ma srogą cenę za swe występki przeciwko miłości. A ostatnią, i najdotkliwszą z kar, jakie przyjdzie jej znieść przed finalnym pochłonięciem jej przez Tartar, ma być właśnie "morbus gallicus". W artykule rozważa się kwestię identyfikacji kobiecej protagonistki wiersza, biorąc pod uwagę istniejące na ten temat hipotezy. Opatruje się też komentarzem stosowny, poświęcony kile, passus elegii, zwracając uwagę a to na nieco osobliwe miano, jakie przydaje jej poeta, a to na wiedzę z zaskresu syfilitologii, którą dzieli się z czytelnikiem.The author gathers and scrutinizes the cases in which Jan Kochanowski, the most prominent poet of the Polish Renaissance, mentions Naples or Campania, one of his destinations while travelling through Italy in 1555. One of the designations in question appears to be „Parthenopea lues” from his Latin elegy III 17, a periphrastic term for syphilis, a disastrous veneral disease which truly decimated the population of then Europeans. It’s mentioned as part of a long tirade against a woman who, according to the poet’s wishes, is going to pay high price for her wrongdoings, especially those against love. The ultimate punishment she will suffer, right before immersing herself in the abyss of Tartarus, will be, devastating for her health, „morbus gallicus”. The paper ponders on the right identification of the female protagonist of the elegy, taking into consideration the existing theories about it as well as comments on a peculiar name syphilis was given by the poet and the medical knowledge she shares with a reader
