Nietzsche, the Mask and the Problem of the Actor
Get PDFReaders of Nietzsche are not unfamiliar with the thought that his philosophical writings
contain numerous at least apparent contradictions. We begin with one of them. On the one
hand, Nietzsche takes pride of place in the canonical parade of theatre-haters. Indeed, he
himself demands inclusion: ‘I am essentially anti-theatrical’. This antipathy appears to
extend to the actor’s ‘inner longing for a role and mask’. On the other hand, Nietzsche is
known as an advocate and admirer of the mask: ‘everything profound loves masks’ reads one
of his best-known lines. Mask-wearing, whatever that turns out to be, is not only a social
strategy, but also a philosophical or intellectual one, as we shall see. The mask has a variety
of associations, of course, but a salient one, for Nietzsche, was its relation to the actor,
beginning with its use in Greek tragedy. Thus we seem to find a Nietzsche who on the one
hand opposes the theatre and the actor’s role-playing and mask-wearing and, on the other
hand, who encourages the mask, which he himself associates with acting and theatre. Of course, this tension has potential implications for our understanding of Nietzsche's
antipathy to theatre. To take one example, he seems to connect theatre with lack of honesty,
including to oneself (GS 368). And yet some have taken Nietzsche as ‘masking’ his own
thoughts, as a means to avoid being honest with himself. This chapter looks in detail at the use of the mask in Nietzsche and at how it relates to questions of sincerity, interpretation and his later, naturalist project
Gravity analysis of glaciotectonic processes, central Alpine Fault, South Island, New Zealand
No full textNew gravity data collected in the central West Coast of New Zealand's South Island have been used to investigate fault kinematics and structure and the effects of erosion. Buried glacial erosion channels are identified in the footwall of the Alpine Fault in the Wanganui, Whataroa and Fox floodplains. Using a modified technique for estimating channel offsets, these buried channels are found to have been displaced along the Alpine Fault by 383±74 m, 372±159 m and 450±121 m, respectively, since the Last Glacial Maximum. Adopting a date for the Last Glacial Maximum of 19±1 ka, these offsets correspond to strike-slip slip rates of 20±5 mm a?1, 20±9 mm a?1 and 24±8 mm a?1, respectively, which are consistent with previous estimates of slip rates along the central Alpine Fault. The gravity data are also used to delineate and model the South Westland Fault, a thrust fault system, 10–20 km northwest of and striking subparallel to the Alpine Fault
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
