From the 19-Century Novel to the Portuguese Contemporary Film Adaptation
Get PDFThe literary adaptations of canonical novels for film provide a unique repository of both identity contents and
socio-cultural observations which can be revisited through the filmic representations. These recreations symbolize not only a privileged visual interpretation of a nation, but they also allow us to examine how a given society reflects itself through the fiction. In this sense, the objective of this paper is to reflect upon the Portuguese updated filmic adaptation of The Crime of Father Amaro (1880) by the canonical author Eça de Queiroz. On one hand, the author
intends to rethink about the Portuguese identity portrayed by the film and, at the same time, the author manages to
observe how the Portuguese society is revealed. On the other hand, the paper aims to analyze the particular process
of the adaptation of The Crime of Father Amaro following a qualitative methodology
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
A literatura no cinema Oliveiriano
No full textSão nítidas na cinematografia do emblemático realizador português Manoel de Oliveira as influências de outras artes, nomeadamente da literatura. Com efeito, a adaptação literária é objeto de interesse do cineasta em diversas produções fílmicas dando origem a obras centradas sobre variadas temáticas, onde sobressai a figura feminina e os textos de Agustina Bessa-Luís. O envolvimento do realizador neste contexto de diálogo intertextual remonta às suas primeiras produções ficcionais (Aniki-Bobó, 1942) e permanece ao longo da sua vasta carreira cinematográfica. Estudar o registo filmográfico ficcional Oliveiriano é repensar questões relativas à adaptação literária e às suas particularidades. É, similarmente, refletir sobre o lugar da adaptação no cinema português e, ao mesmo tempo, equiparar o cineasta luso à constelação de realizadores paradigmáticos da história do cinema mundial que estabeleceram uma relação dialógica com fontes escritas. Com o propósito de sustentar a argumentação, a reflexão encontra-se ancorada em estudos de literatura e cinema e na teoria da adaptação. Partindo do vínculo dialogal entre literatura e cinema na obra de Manoel de Oliveira, o presente texto procura estabelecer uma reflexão acerca da adaptação literária e paralelamente relembrar as singularidades da transmutação fílmica dando destaque às diversas adaptações literárias de índole Oliveiriana que o cinema português tem testemunhado. A literatura no cinema de Oliveira contribui para testemunhar o elo positivo que historicamente tem ligado estas duas formas de expressão e oferece um exercício de releitura original destacando liberdade criativa e a independência que caracterizam Manoel de Oliveira
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
