Analisi delle interazioni conflittuali nelle commedie di Plauto: la relazione asimmetrica nel matrimonio romano
No full textNel teatro di Plauto sono presenti temi e moduli stilistici della tradizione drammaturgica antica, riconducibili da una parte alla Néa greca e dall’altra al teatro italico d’improvvisazione. Inoltre il Sarsinate innesta sugli interventi dei suoi personaggi variazioni parodiche dei generi più elevati come la tragedia (in particolare quella euripidea) e l’epica, nel tentativo di creare un teatro dall’evidente letterarietà.
La produzione plautina è in effetti il risultato di un’operazione complessa di contaminazione, del tutto nuova ed originale, che agisce a livello di intrecci e situazioni dialogiche, fino a determinare una metamorfosi vera e propria delle singole personae e del loro modo di gestire le relazioni e le interazioni in cui sono coinvolte. Nell’analisi della collisione tra due personaggi è dunque d’obbligo, per evitare di incorrere in abbagli inferenziali e critici, cercare quantomeno di comprendere se si tratti della ripresa “tout court” di situazioni già presenti nei copioni greci, di forme plautine contaminate, motivate da ragioni drammaturgiche e comiche, e dunque create appositamente per suscitare il riso del pubblico, oppure di veri e propri conflitti, che sottendono criticità di ordine relazionale ed antropologico tra i personaggi.
Per questo si è reso necessario un approfondimento del concetto di conflitto, cercando di accogliere, tra le categorie d’analisi moderne utilizzate, solo quelle che si armonizzavano con il codice antropologico romano e con la percezione della conflittualità degli antichi; inoltre sono stati valutati anche i particolari modelli antropologici che Plauto lascia trasparire dalle forme convenzionali o variate delle sue personae. Il testo teatrale è infine stato analizzato utilizzando la pragmatica della comunicazione, le cui categorie hanno consentito di restituire al teatro la sua performatività, declinata nei differenti contesti dialogici, in linea con gli studi di semiotica del teatro.
Passando alle situazioni di scontro tra i personaggi di Plauto, oggetto di questo lavoro di ricerca, va detto che esse sono presenti in gran numero nel corpus plautino e per questo si è reso necessario circoscrivere l’analisi ad alcuni dialoghi, che coinvolgono i protagonisti di una delle relazioni più importanti della civiltà romana, quella matrimoniale, che vede come attori principali marito e moglie. La relazione tra coniugi infatti si presenta piuttosto instabile ed oscilla continuamente tra la complementarietà, imposta dalla tradizione, e la pseudosimmetria, determinata dal nuovo status delle uxores dotatae, dopo la diffusione a Roma del matrimonium sine manu.
Le dinamiche conflittuali nel teatro del Sarsinate, come è stato possibile evincere dall’analisi delle interazioni conflittuali tra marito e moglie presenti nell’Amphitruo, nell’Asinaria e nei Menaechmi, sembrano oscillare tra i poli del litigio di sapore farsesco ed il vero e proprio conflitto, conflitto che si produce per effetto della collisione tra differenti voleri e concezioni oppure a causa dell’infrazione delle regole del vivere sociale.In Plautus’ theatre there are themes and stylistic criteria which come from the ancient traditional dramaturgy, and are ascribable both to the Greek Nea and to the Italian theatre of improvvisation. Furthermore, Plautus inserts in his characters’ speeches parodic variations which come from more elevated genres such as the tragedy (Euripide’s one in particolar) and the epic poem, in order to create a type of theatre scattered with literary references.
Plautus’ production is indeed the result of a complex operation of contamination, original and innovative in all its parts; it operates on the structures of the plot and the dialogue, up until it determinates a proper metamorphosis in the singular personae and their way to manage relationships and interactions in which they are involved. In the analysis of the collision between two characters, in order to avoid inferential and discriminating blunders, it is required to try to understand if you are dealing with a “tout court” recall of situations which exist already in Greek scripts, or with contaminated forms, justified by dramaturgic and comical reasons, and for that created in order to make the public laugh, or again with proper and structured conflicts, which imply levels of criticality related to relationships and antropological connotations between the characters.
In order to accomplish this, an in-depth analysis of the concept of conflict has been necessary, as well as trying to include within the modern categories of analysis, only those which got along with the Roman antropological code and with the perception of conflict according to the ancients; moreover, particular antropological criteria have been taken into account, those that Plautus give glimpses of from the conventional or unconventional forms of his personae. The dramatic text, ultimately, has been analized using the pragmatic of communication, whose categories allowed to give back to the theatre its performativity, shaped in different dialogic contexts, in step with the semiotic studies of the theatre.
Regarding the conflict situations between Plautus’ characters, subject of this research, they are present in large numbers in Plautus’ corpus and for this reason it has been necessary to focus on the analysis of a few dialogues, which involve the main characters of one of the most important relationships of the Roman culture, the one concerning marriage, which consists of a wife and an husband as the main actors. The relationship between spouses appears rather unstable and swings back and forth between complementarity, imposed by tradition, and pseudosymmetry, determined by the new status of uxores dotatae, following the matrimonium sine manu spread in Rome.
The conflictual dynamics in Plautus’ theatre, as it has been possible to deduce from the analysis of the conflictual interactions between husband and wife present in the Amphitruo, in the Asinaria and in the Menaechmi, appear to be swinging between farsical quarrels and proper conflict, which is produced by the collision between different willings and conceptions, or by the violation of the rules in the sphere of the social way of living
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.
