La memorización monástica y las imágenes de la Psychomachia: el uso de la figuración miniada y monumental de las virtudes y los vicios como mnemotecnias
Get PDF[ES] Ya en el mundo antiguo encontramos representaciones de los conceptos de algunas virtudes como son la Fortaleza o la Justicia. Durante la Edad Media estas imágenes ganaron gran popularidad y se insertaron en un sin número de medios, desde trabajos de orfebrería hasta en la escultura monumental de las fachadas de las catedrales góticas. Las imágenes de los vicios y virtudes en mayor o menor grado en épocas posteriores se siguieron utilizando. La época contemporánea no ha sido la excepción y en pleno siglo XXI se pueden señalar ejemplos, como son la personificación de la Justicia la cual continúa portando sus atributos por excelencia: la espada y la balanza. Actualmente la plasmación de dichos conceptos morales, con mayor interés en los vicios, se continúan utilizando en la cultura popular y se han extendido a los medios del mundo contemporáneo: el cine, la televisión y la animación1. La pervivencia de las representaciones de estos conceptos morales denota un afecto, tendencia, inclinación o disposición por parte del hombre a los mismos. Particularmente, mi primer encuentro con el tema de las imágenes de los vicios y virtudes fue durante mis años de carrera en Puerto Rico, como parte de un trabajo de un curso de Historia del Arte Medieval. El mismo me llevó a cuestionarme la importancia y la popularidad que gozó el tema durante el período medieval. Cuando inicié el proyecto de tesis le propuse a mi tutora estudiar los vicios y las virtudes en la Edad Media, proyecto ambicioso cuya envergadura no conocía. Pues resulta, como se expone en el primer capítulo de nuestro trabajo, que imágenes de estos conceptos abstractos se elaboraron a lo largo de todo el medioevo y en todos los medios y contextos posibles del período
Sobre las variaciones del color del sol en la apertura del sexto sello (Ap. 6, 12-17) en los Commentaria in Apocalypsin de Beato de Liébana
No full textEl último texto del corpus bíblico destaca por el intenso cromatismo del relato, en consonancia con las condiciones que imponía la lectura pública prevista por su autor; esa precisión descriptiva enfatizaba su veracidad y su efectismo entre los oyentes. Asimismo, las copias conservadas con el comentario del lebaniego han resaltado, precisamente, por el gran desarrollo de sus ciclos ilustrativos. El objetivo principal del estudio es analizar la alusión al color negro del sol, plena de sentido para el autor del escrito, quizá también para Beato y quienes tradujeron visualmente la secuencia en las primeras copias, pero que con forme pasa el tiempo, se desplaza, distorsiona y actualiza. Por lo tanto, se revela esa textura del tiempo que manifiesta las variaciones en la recepción de la obra.
The last text of the biblical corpus stands out for the intense chromaticism of the account, in keeping with the conditions imposed by the public reading envisaged by its author; this descriptive precision emphasised its veracity and its effectiveness among the listeners. Likewise, the copies preserved with the commentary by Lebaniego have stood out precisely because of the great development of their illustrative cycles. The main aim of this study is to analyse the allusion to the black colour of the sun, which was fully meaningful for the author of the text, perhaps also for Beatus and for those who visually translated the sequence in the first copies, but which, as time goes by, is displaced, distorted and updated. Thus, it reveals that texture of time that manifests the variations in the reception of the work
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
