Creative use of objects as signs in cinema: an analysis of Sergei Parajanov’s Hakob Hovnatanyan
Get PDFThe paper presents an analysis of Sergei Parajanov’s short film, Hakob Hovnatanyan (1967), and its significance as an example of poetic cinema within Soviet cinematography. Not only feature-length films of Parajanov, but also his short films hold an important place among his œuvre, as a multi-modal and multi-channel visualization of the past. Hakob Hovnatanyan is a prime example of poetic cinema in Soviet cinematography. A pioneer in this discourse in the Soviet Union was Andrei Tarkovsky with his film Andrei Rublev (1966). Examples of this discourse include the Parajanov’s films The Color of Pomegranates (orig. Nṙan gowynë, 1969), Arabesque on a Theme of Pirosmani (orig. Arabeskebi Pirosmanis temaze, 1985), and Etudes on Vrubel (orig. Etyudy on Vrubel, 1989), which was directed by Leonid Osyka (scriptwriter Parajanov). The paper explores Hakob Hovnatanyan as a converter of cultural memory and multimodal vehicle for the construction of the spirit of the city. While in the framework of the short film the city is presented in the open air, in the middle the interior, the everyday life, the hum of language, and the language of clothes and necklaces of Old Tbilisi, Georgia, are presented. The interior and spirit are presented not only on the visual level of paintings, carpets, and furniture (a dresser with a metronome) but also through auditory elements: sound, language, music, etc. Thus, through a multimodal visualization of the past Parajanov presents a new language of cinema (Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (orig. Tini zabutykh predkiv, 1965), The Color of Pomegranates, The Legend of Suram Fortress (orig. Ambavi suramis tsikhisa, 1985), Ashik Kerib (orig. Ashik’-keribi, 1988, first director Dodo Abashidze))
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
«Христианский мир или Европа» Новалиса: опыт прочтения в исторической перспективе
Get PDFThe article analyses the essay of the German romantic Novalis (Hartmann von Hardenberg, 1772–1801) Christendom or Europe which has not lost its relevance due to the fact that the evolution of values in central European countries (Germany, France, England, etc.) still remains the focus of attention for today’s world politics, media, and science. Russian scholars have turned to the essay a number of times, but the analysis was most frequently synchronic, which implies that the context was also rather narrow. On the contrary, this article analyses the essay diachronically, within the context of present-day axiological transformations taking place in the countries of the west (Germany, France, and England). To provide a more complete understanding of the essay, the author of the article takes into account the history of the essay’s publication relying on P. Bourdieu’s theories. Reading the essay through a historical perspective proves that Novalis was one of the first “seismograph” writers who was able to notice profound changes in religion, ethics and politics that were taking place in Europe and were caused by the rejection of Christian values. Novalis explained the European value transformation by the Reformation and the epoch of the Enlightenment. The European Union was a result of this intellectual ferment and was based on such notions as secularization, peace, freedom, stability, well-being, multiculturalism, liberalization, human rights protection, single market, etc. However, it is still important how the EU with its post-Christian values and (neo-)liberalism can deal with new problems caused by the influx of migrants from the Muslim countries of Africa and the Middle East.Статья посвящена анализу эссе немецкого романтика Гартмана фон Харденберга (Новалиса, 1772–1801) «Христианский мир или Европа», не утратившего своей актуальности и в наши дни, поскольку ценностные превращения, происходящие в центральноевропейских странах (Германия, Франция, Англия и др.) продолжают оставаться в центре внимания современной мировой политики, прессы и науки. К эссе не раз обращалась советская германистика, но в основном анализ проводился в синхронии, иными словами, в узком контексте. В данной статье вышеуказанное произведение Новалиса описывается в диахронии, в контексте нынешних аксиологических метаморфоз, происходящих в странах Запада (Германия, Франция, Англия). Для полного раскрытия и осмысления текста Новалиса автор статьи учитывает также и историю публикации эссе, опираясь на теории П. Бурдье. Прочтение эссе в исторической перспективе показывает, что Новалис был одним из первых «сейсмографов», увидевших глубокие перемены в области религии, этики и политики, происходившие в Европе в силу отказа от христианских ценностей. Глобальные ценностные перемены в Европе Новалис связывал с Реформацией и с эпохой Просвещения. В итоге ценностных брожений возникает ЕС, в основу которого положены такие понятия, как секуляризация, мир, свобода, стабильность, благополучие, мультикультурность, либерализация, защита прав человека, общий экономический рынок и т. д. Но по сей день остается открытым вопрос, насколько ЕС со своими постхристианскими ценностями и (нео)либерализмом может противостоять новым проблемам, возникшим из-за миграционных потоков из мусульманских стран Африки и Ближнего Востока
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
