"Hybridizing Textual Bodies and Neogothic Identities: Frankenstein's Afterlife in Shelley Jackson's Fiction"
Full text linkAgainst the background of the current scholarly debate on the Neo-Gothic fascination with the body manipulation and dissection, this paper examines some recent transmutations of the archetype of the hybrid monster of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. More specifically, the paper focuses on Shelley Jackson’s production, from the hypertexts Patchwork Girl, or A Modern Monster (1995) and My Body. A Wunderkammer (1997) to The Melancholy of Anatomy (2002), up to her most recent project Skin (2010). Although she cannot be strictly considered part of the Neo-Gothic stream, her works exemplify significant ways in which posthuman thought intersects with Gothic textuality. By reimagining Frankenstein’s archetype of the assembled creature, Jackson explores emerging postmodern paradigms of disturbingly porous and disjointed identities in the context of digital culture, where the parallel evolution of fragmented and hybrid textual spaces allows innovative forms of cross-genre and cross-media performances of the self
Non solo immagini. Collezioni digitali in cerca d’autore nella biblioteca di Babele.
No full textIn questo contributo si ripropone un’indispensabile disambiguazione del significato semantico e concettuale del lemma digitalizzazione, ancora oggi usato erroneamente nel nostro Paese per indicare sia l’innovazione digitale di enti e imprese, sia i processi di generazione di risorse digitali nei diversi formati esistenti derivati da analogico o nativi, per i quali invece andrebbe utilizzato l’anglicismo digitizzazione. Quindi, si ripercorrono le fasi salienti, le ricadute e gli impatti che la DT ha avuto nel nostro Paese sulle relazioni dei cittadini con il patrimonio culturale negli ultimi quindici anni, evidenziandone le criticità a oggi ancora irrisolte che l’accompagnano. Infine, si argomentano i passaggi indispensabili a creare e identificare cosa possa essere considerato digital heritage nella magmatica DT in atto, nell’ottica di risolvere definitivamente l’equivoco imperversante secondo cui esso sarebbe composto dai digital twins dei beni analogici
IL «PROGETTO SABA»: DARE VOCE A UN MANOSCRITTO INEDITO DEL CANZONIERE
No full textIl contributo presenta criticamente i passi effettuati per creare un’esperienza di fruizione museale diffusa mediante l’allestimento di un’edizione genetica digitale del manoscritto menabò del Canzoniere di Umberto Saba (R.P. MS 1-18) conservato a Trieste presso la Biblioteca Civica Attilio Hortis. Nel saggio vengono prese sinteticamente in esame le fasi della modellazione di un oggetto complesso, le scelte dello schema di codifica soprattutto in relazione ad aspetti peculiari del manoscritto quali le diverse stratificazioni di varianti d'autore, i cartigli e le pecette, e la modalità di visualizzazione degli apparati e del prototipo dell'edizione. Il progetto è frutto della cooperazione tra vari studiosi specialisti nel settore delle Digital Humanities, enti di ricerca e fondazioni. I partner istituzionali sono il Comune di Trieste e l’Università Ca' Foscari Venezia
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
