    « Dansa es us dictatz gracios ». La dansa occitane du XIIe au XIVe siècle

    No full text
    This paper is conceived as the first chapter of a thorough interdisciplinary investigation on the Occitan dansa, the French virelai and other related Romance lyrical genres. By combining philological and musicological approaches, we discuss the definition of the dansa-form based on medieval sources and the delimitation of its corpus, both in Occitan and Catalan milieu. Moreover, we aim to retrace the history of the troubadours’ dansa from its outset to 1400 and back to its possible origin. Concerning this particular aspect, we focus on the alleged derivation of the dansa from the popular poetry of pièces à refrain and/or of “zadjal-type” poems. An in-depth analysis of the dansa’s characteristic features and its comparison with the sacred repertoire of Latin hymns and conductus lead us to a different conclusion: the roots of the dansa-form are to be found in the courtly troubadours’ canso, through an interference with the liturgical and paraliturgical production of the responsoria

    «E membre vos co·us trobei a Pavia». Affioramenti trobadorici nella biblioteca del Seminario Vescovile

    This paper focuses on a parchment sheet from a lost troubadour songbook, recently discovered in the library of the Seminario of Pavia. Written at the end of 13th or at the beginning of 14th century, perhaps in an atelier of the northern Tyrrhenian area, it was subsequently reused to reinforce the cover of a 16h century printed book. The fragment, which was assigned the siglum Pv, contains the vidas and some poems of Guillem de Berguedan and Raimbaut d’Aurenga. Two remarkable lectures conveyed by Pv testify for its important role into the Venetian tradition ɛ of troubadour songbooks: the signature of Uc de Saint Circ in the text of Raimbaut d’Aurenga’s vida, and a verse of a sirventes by Guillem de Berguedan (BdT 210.19) which is unknown to any other manuscript containing this poem. Furthermore, the codicologic and palaeographic analysis and the study of the scripta and the decoration shows that Pv belonged to the same dismantled manuscript as two other chansonnier fragments separately discovered during the last century (m and m2)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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
