Reciprocity and the Divine: A Study of the Major "Homeric Hymns"
No full text262 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2008.My dissertation is a study of the narrative pattern of reciprocity in the major Homeric Hymns to Demeter, Aphrodite, Apollo and Hermes. I argue that the structure of the Hymns emerges out of a progression of the narrative from strife to reconciliation, and I claim that the gods are celebrated for their ability successfully to perform reciprocity and reconcile with their opponents. By employing Marshall Sahlins' theoretical framework, I map out the different types of exchange and I trace the narrative development from negative to positive and balanced (quid pro quo) reciprocity, which is the precondition for the gods' reappraised status. The study of reciprocity reveals a consistent, systematic structure of the Hymns and sheds light on the value of reciprocity in the religious and social realms of Archaic Greece.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
Structural Symmetry and Parallelism in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter
Get PDFΗ ΔΟΜΗ του Ομηρικού Ύμνου στη Δήμητρα είναι προβληματική, σύμφωνα με μελετητές, κυρίως λόγω της απρόκλητης επίσκεψης της Δήμητρας στην Ελευσίνα, η οποία δεν συμβάλλει στην εύρεση της κόρης της, καθώς εν αντιθέσει με άλλες εκδοχές του μύθου η Δήμητρα δεν συλλέγει εκεί πληροφορίες για την απαγωγή της Περσεφόνης αλλά προσπαθεί ανεπιτυχώς να κάνει τον Δημοφώντα αθάνατο. Εφαρμόζοντας τις αρχές της δομικής συμμετρίας και του παραλληλισμού δείχνω ότι η σκηνή με τον Δημοφώντα αποτελεί τμήμα της αφηγηματικής εξέλιξης από σκηνές σύγκρουσης σε σκηνές συμφιλίωσης, που ανταποκρίνονται στη μετάβαση από σκηνές αρνητικής ανταπόδοσης (δηλ. αρπαγή χωρίς ανταλλαγή) σε σκηνές εξισορροπημένης ανταπόδοσης (δηλ. συναλλαγή τύπου quid pro quo). Αυτή η αφηγηματική εξέλιξη διέπει την αλληλουχία των σκηνών και παρατηρείται σε αυτόνομα επεισόδια αλλά και στη γενικότερη δομή του Ύμνου. Tο θέμα της ανταλλαγής είναι ιδιαίτερα προσφιλές, καθώς και ο Ύμνος αποτελεί προσφορά του υμνωδού που αναμένει θετική ανταπόδοση από τη Δήμητρα και την Περσεφόνη.Η ΔΟΜΗ του Ομηρικού Ύμνου στη Δήμητρα είναι προβληματική, σύμφωνα με μελετητές, κυρίως λόγω της απρόκλητης επίσκεψης της Δήμητρας στην Ελευσίνα, η οποία δεν συμβάλλει στην εύρεση της κόρης της, καθώς εν αντιθέσει με άλλες εκδοχές του μύθου η Δήμητρα δεν συλλέγει εκεί πληροφορίες για την απαγωγή της Περσεφόνης αλλά προσπαθεί ανεπιτυχώς να κάνει τον Δημοφώντα αθάνατο.

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
