La teoría de la recepción aplicada a la traducción
Full text linkLa teoría de la recepción intenta desplazar el peso del autor hacia el lector sosteniendo que durante el proceso de lectura el lector tiene la libertad y la autoridad de interpretar el texto. De esta libertad y autoridad surge el acto de comunicación entre la obra, el autor y el lector. Partiendo de este punto de vista, este artículo desea poner el énfasis en un lector muy específico: el traductor, al que su doble papel (lector del texto de partida y autor del texto de llegada) le ofrece una perspectiva distinta a la del lector común durante el proceso literario, de tal manera que su capacidad de diálogo con la obra es inmensa. La traducción re-crea la obra original y el proceso de nueva lectura queda reflejado en una nueva forma. Con cada sucesivo acto de lectura, la obra original se vuelve a "escribir", y la traducción se reconstruye una y otra vez como si fuera una obra originalReader-response theory attempts to shift the weight of emphasis from the author to the reader. During the reading process the reader has the freedom and authority to interpret the text -a process that involves an act of communication between author and reader. From this point of view, this article wants to focus on a reader that plays a specific role: the translator.

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
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
La Influencia literaria y impacto cultural de las traducciones de Lin Shu (1852-1924) en la China de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX
Full text linkConsultable des del TDXTítol obtingut de la portada digitalitzadaLa tesis intenta enfatizar la importancia de la traducción en la historia de la literatura centrandose en el caso de un traductor chino, Lin Shu (1852-1924), a través del cual se plantea la tesis de este trabajo. Entre las teorías se destaca el grupo de Translation Studies, que se relaciona con otros enfoques como los Polisistemas, la Escuela de la Manipulación y las aportaciones de la teoría de la literatura y la literatura comparada. Y también la teoría de la recepción, la deconstrucción y el concepto de la Muerte del autor, de Roland Barthes. La tesis está dividida en tres partes principales independientes, pero, a la vez, interrelacionadas. La primera parte es el marco histórico. En ella, se trata el trasfondo político y el uso la traducción como medio de acceso a la modernidad. En concreto se analiza la influencia de la traducción de la novela que tradicionalmente había sido menospreciada en la letras chinas. En este contexto, se destaca el éxito de la traducción de Lin Shu La dama de las camelias, que abrió un nuevo horizonte para este género. La segunda parte se centra en la figura de Lin Shu y las características de sus traducciones. A pesar de su desconocimiento de las lenguas extranjeras, Lin Shu produjo un elevado número de obras con la ayuda de sus narradores. La gran sensibilidad literaria de Lin Shu le permitió ganarse el elogio de la crítica. El acto de traducir obliga a Lin Shu a romper con la lengua tradicional de la literatura china, el wenyan, y adoptar un estilo menos rígido. Con ello favorece la transición del wenyan al baihua, la lengua coloquial del pueblo. Esta lengua será utilizada después por la Nueva literatura, muy influida por la literatura extranjera. En las traducciones de Lin Shu se integra la literatura extranjera a la literatura china, introduciendo en esta última nuevas perspectivas. En la tercera parte se llega a la conclusión y se plantean nuevas reflexiones. A partir de los tres elementos principales que articulan esta tesis, la figura de Lin Shu, el papel de la traducción en la China a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX y el género de la novela, se llega a la idea de los sistemas interrelacionados. El sistema literario, junto con otros sistemas, se inscriben en el sistema social y se influyen mutuamente. La traducción se asimila a otras actividades de manipulación, puesto que, sirve de instrumento para la difusión de unos determinados valores. La tesis tiene los siguientes objetivos: la traducción puede servir para introducir conceptos y estrategias nuevas para la construcción de la identidad nacional y puede desempeñar un papel esencial en el ámbito sociopolítico; la traducción puede estimular el desarrollo de las literaturas nacionales, incluso puede llegar a cambiar las corrientes literarias de la cultura receptora; la traducción tiene una presencia importante en la formación y la evolución de la literatura y, a la vez, de las lenguas nacionales; por último, la traducción puede servir como herramienta para la configuración de un nuevo canon literario y una nueva literatura universal.This dissertation attempts to emphasise the importance of translation in the history of literature. It focuses on the specific case of the Chinese translator Lin Shu (1852-1924); he is used to illustrate the thesis of this work. Among translation theories, this dissertation concentrates on those of the Translation Studies, and other related perspectives such as the Polysystems and the Manipulation School, as well as the contributions of the theory of literature and comparative literature. Of equal note is the theory of Reader- response, deconstruction, and Roland Barthes' concept of the Death of the Author. The thesis is divided into three main independent and, at the same time, interrelated parts. The first part concentrates on the historical context, where we consider the political background, and the use of translation as a way of attaining modernity. More specifically, we analyse the influence of the translation of novels, which were traditionally ignored in Chinese literature. In this context, we stress the success of Lin Shu's translation of La Dame aux Camélias (Alexandre Dumas fils) which opened new horizons for this genre. The second part of the thesis focuses on the personality of Lin Shu and the characteristics of his translations. Despite his lack of knowledge of foreign languages, Lin Shu produced an important number of works with the help of his narrators. His great literary sensibility earned him critics' praise. Translating forced Lin Shu to break with the traditional language of Chinese literature, wenyan, and to adopt a less rigid style. This fostered the transition from wenyan to baihua, the colloquial language of the people. This language was later to be used by the New Literature, which was very influenced by foreign literature. Lin Shu's translations incorporate foreign literature into Chinese literature, introducing new perspectives in the latter. The third part leads to the conclusion and raises new considerations. From the three main criteria of this thesis, that is, the personality of Lin Shu, the role of translation in China at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, and the novel as a literary genre, we reach the idea of interrelated systems. The literary system, as many other systems, is placed inside the social system, therefore they both influence each other. Translation is similar to other manipulation processes, since it can be employed to spread specific values. This thesis has the following objectives: translation can be used to introduce new concepts and strategies to help build national identity, and at the same time play an important role in the socio-political context; translation can stimulate the development of national literatures, and can even change literary trends in the native literature; translation holds an important function in the development and evolution of literature and national languages. Finally, translation can be used as a tool to shape a new literary canon and a new universal literature
