Motives of Existentialism in the Poetry of Knuts Skujenieks and Anatoly Zhigulin
No full textMaģistra darbā apskatīti eksistenciālistiskie motīvi Knuta Skujenieka un Anatolija Žiguļina – nozīmīgu 20. gs. 2. puses dzejnieku – dzejā. Pētījumā aplūkota galvenokārt abu autoru nometnes laika dzeja, būtisku vietu ierādot arī biogrāfiskajam kontekstam. Nometnes situācija abiem dzejniekiem ir bijusi eksistenciālistisko izjūtu ģenēzes impulss.
Eksistenciālistiskie motīvi dzejā latviešu un krievu literatūrzinātnē vēl joprojām ir maz pētīta tēma. Maģistra darbā apskatītas eksistenciālisma idejas totalitārisma apstākļos, kā arī eksistenciālistisko situāciju refleksija K. Skujenieka un A. Žiguļina dzejā vairākos aspektos: 1) kā nebrīves un brīvības pretstats; 2) kā sevis iepazīšana izvēles, atbildības un godīguma eksistenciālās šķautnēs; 3) kā dzejnieka vienpatās eksistences neaizsargātība; 4) kā brīvā griba un tās traģika; 5) nāve kā eksistenciālisma robežsituācija; 6) nometnes esamība kā atkailināts padomju dzīves modelis.
Atslēgas vārdi: Knuts Skujenieks, Anatolijs Žiguļins, nometnes lirika, eksistenciālistiskie motīvi, mākslinieciskā izteiksme.The Master Thesis examines motives of existentialism in the poetry of two significant poets of the second half of the 20th century: Knuts Skujenieks and Anatoly Zhigulin. The thesis principally deals with the poetry written during the time both poets spent at labour camps. An essential part of the research is devoted to the biographical context of their work. Life at the labour camps provided the main impulse of the genesis of existential feelings for both poets.
Motives of existentialism in poetry have not been studied to a large extent both in Latvian and Russian history of literature. The author of the Master Thesis in her research discusses existential ideas in totalitarian regime as well as analyses the reflection of existential situation in K. Skujeniek’s and A. Zhigulin’s poetry according to the following aspects: first, captivity vs. freedom; second, acquainting with oneself in the existential circumstances of choice, responsibility and honesty; third, the exposure of the poet’s vulnerable self; fourth, free will and its tragic implications; fifth, death as the dividing line of existentialism; sixth, the existence of the labour camp as exposed model of the soviet life.

Music in the Poetry of Knuts Skujenieks and Lyrics of the Poet in Music
No full textBakalaura darbā apskatīta Knuta Skujenieka – viena no visnozīmīgākajiem 20. gs. otrās puses dzejniekiem – dzejas muzikalitāte. Interdisciplināras studijas par dzejas un mūzikas attiecībām vēl joprojām latviešu literatūrzinātnē ir maz pētīta tēma. Bakalaura darbā mūzika K. Skujenieka dzejā aplūkota, aptverot 3 perspektīvas, kādās par to būtu iespējams runāt: pirmkārt, apskatot mūzikas un ar to saistīto poētisko tēlu sistēmu dzejnieka daiļradē; otrkārt, dzejas muzikalitāti; treškārt, komponēto K. Skujenieka dzeju. Nozīmīga vieta pētījumā ierādīta arī biogrāfiskajam kontekstam, K. Skujenieka paustajiem uzskatiem intervijā, kas tapusi dzejnieka mājās Salaspilī.
Bakalaura darbā izmantotas dažādas metodes: biogrāfiskā, salīdzinoši vēsturiskā, sistēmiskās analīzes. Izpētot K. Skujenieka dzejas muzikālo ekspresiju, nonākts pie galvenajām atziņām, t. i., atklāta formas jēdzieniskā slodze K. Skujenieka dzejā. Tieši muzikālās ekspresijas aspektā mēģināts interpretēt arī K. Skujenieka dzejā ļoti būtisko folkloras stilizācijas līmeni.

The interdisciplinary study of the relationship between poetry and music is still an aspect rarely touched upon by Latvian literary scholars. In this paper, the music in Knuts Skujeniek’s poetry is analysed according to three perspectives: by examining, first, the connection between the music and the system of the related poetic characters, second, the musicality of the poetry, and, third, Knuts Skujeniek’s poems set to music. An essential part of the research is devoted to the discussion of the biographical context including Knuts Skujeniek’s expressed opinions in his interview given at his home in Salaspils.
In the bachelor thesis there are various methods applied: e.g., biographical, comparatively historical, and systematically analytical. As the result of the research, it is discovered that the form in Knuts Skujeniek’s poetry carries a huge load of conceptual meanings. Moreover, the thesis, in the terms of musical expression, is an attempt to interpret the pastiche of folklore that has a significant role of Knuts Skujeniek’s poems.

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
