«Butterfly» by Shan Bo: Myth of Chinese National Opera
No full textДисертацію присвячено вивченню музичної драми перетворень Сан Бо «Метелик. Шлях Поета» (2008) як національного китайського оперного міфу на основі узагальнення євроазійського досвіду. Пізнання ознак новітнього національного китайського оперного міфу здійснено на основі методологічних засад загальної та порівняльної міфооперології, інтро-, екстраміфологічного та ономатологічного методів (розроблені О. Рощенко). Встановлено, що з часу створення «Сивої дівчини» китайська опера пройшла шлях від демократичного тлумачення жанру до елітарної національної музичної драми перетворень, оперного міфу. На основі інтроміфологічного аналізу доведено: парадигматичну роль у формуванні оперного міфу Сан Бо відіграють сюжети, образи, міфологеми китайської міфології; філософська притча Чжуан-цзи; легенда про Закоханих Метеликів; переосмислення традиції кунцюй, пекінської опери; кінофільми за легендарним сюжетом. Екстраміфологічний аналіз сприяв встановленню європейських прообразів китайської музичної драми перетворень, розподілених на приховані (шекспірівські та тристанівські паралелі; міфологеми-ідеї оперного походження – пошуків раю, сакрального шлюбу, жертовності, спокути і спокуси, метаморфози, Liebestod; міфологеми-образи Блукача та Нареченої) та явні, втілені в авторській ремарці «Les Miserables» за романом В. Гюго, набуття китайською оперою значення «музичного роману», «lesen drama». Вестернізація сприяла набуттю інтертекстуальністю функції принципу організації національної китайської музичної драми перетворень. Синтез ознак європейської опери поемного типу, opera as drama, номерної, камерної опери, вокального циклу віршів з музикою, роману, традицій національних театрів шан'юецюй і хун'мейсі, пекінської опери, циклу віршів з музикою тлумачений як аналог міфологічного синкретизму (за О. Рощенко). Властивості іменної драматургії сприяють тлумаченню національної китайської опери як міфу.This dissertation is devoted to studying «Butterfly. Path of a Poet», musical drama of metamorphosis by Shan Bo (2005) as a myth of Chinese national opera in the context of generalisation of Eurasian experience. I have singled out the characteristics of a modern myth of Chinese national opera based on methodology of comparative study of myths functioning in opera as well as using intro- and extramythological and onomastic approaches (developed by O. Roshchenko). I have established that starting from the «Gray-Haired Girl» Chinese opera went from a democratic interpretation of the genre to an elitist national musical drama of metamorphosis and an opera myth. I have proved the following facts based on the intromythological analysis: paradigmatic role in the development of the plot of Shan Bo`s opera myth is played by plots and images of cultural heroes inherited from Chinese mythology as well as mythological themes; medieval philosophical parable of Chuang Tzu; the legend of the Butterfly Lovers; reinterpretation of traditions of Kun Opera and the Beijing Opera, films based on legendary plots. Using extramithological analysis I have established European prototypes of characters from Chinese musical drama of metamorphosis, divided into disguised (Shakespeare`s and Tristan`s plot parallels, mythologems and ideas of opera origin, such as search for paradise, sacred marriages, dualism of the world, holidays, sacrifices, redemptions and temptations, metamorphoses, Liebestod; mythologems in images of the Tramp and the Bride) as well as explicit prototypes, mentioned in the author`s remark („Les Miserables” by Victor Hugo, following which Chinese opera takes the route of „musical novel”, „lesen drama”). Westernisation contributed to the fact that the principle of organising Chinese national musical drama of metamorphosis acquired intertextuality. Based on the principles of general and comparative mythoporology, the specific features of the national Chinese operatic myth, presented in the musical drama of the reincarnations of San Boo „Butterfly”, have been established. The methodology of mythology (unity of ontological, mythological semantic, onomatological methods of analysis) and comparative mythoperolology (intro and extemphiological types of analysis), is specified on the establishment of genre-stylistic features, mythology, features of unification and specifications (due to historical, topographical and mental conditions) of the national Chinese opera The myth embodied in the „Butterflyˮ of San Boh, contributed to its definition as the actual infinity of content in the context of world operability. The work identifies the correspondence of the national Chinese operatic myth to the general properties of this phenomenon, namely: the creation of a national picture of the world, the sacralization of the chronotomy of musical action, the basis of the development of the totality of the mythology, the operation of the magic expanded name, the synthesis of genre-stylistic models and myths that specifically answer ancient syncretism. As a result of the analysis of the Chinese national operatic myth, the central position of mythology was confirmed as a doctrine of the universal unity of opera and myth. It is noted that the Chinese national opera myth, presented at San Boto's Butterfly, appears as evidence of the ability of its authors to reproduce in a miooperological chronotype of the opera a homogeneous national picture of the world, giving it a climaxing role in the development of Chinese operatic art inspired by the experience of the European and national opera; the maturity of the general level of development of the national musical culture, the achievement of the musical art of the Classical Middle Kingdom, which determines the prospects of its introduction to the context of world art culture. Thanks to the methodological foundations of comparative mythopoeology, the establishment of the features of the national Chinese operatic myth was based on the intro – and extra-mythological types of analysis tested for the purpose of studying European pre-images. The synthesis of features of European poetic opera, opera as drama, act opera, chamber opera, vocal cycle of libretto and music, novels, traditions of Shanyuequi and Hunmeysi national theatres, the Beijing Opera, cycle of libretto and music is interpreted as an analogue of mythological syncretism (concept developed by O. Roshchenko). Properties of the personal drama contribute to the interpretation of Chinese national opera as a myth
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.
