    This study intends to contribute to the existing research about modern female villains by delving deeper into the ways that represent the stereotypical pattern in film and literature. This article examines Sienna Brooks, the primary antagonist in Dan Brown’s novel Inferno and its film version. She was Bertrand Zobrist’s lover and resolved to finish his work by unleashing his Inferno virus on humanity. Vis-à-vis, articulating feminist momentum through Sienna’s antagonism to the hero highlights the boundaries of binary oppositions, challenging literary critics and questioning gender bias in literature. Female villains have empowered characters because they are often multidimensional, stronger, and more complex than female heroines, instrumental to the story’s narrative. Brown’s block characterisations make inferences about Sienna Brooks both explicitly and implicitly, replicating Sienna’s thinking style or how she thinks about the world in her mind. The conceptual portrayal of the feminine villain narrative reflects the evolving role of women in plot construction, highlighting the need for nuanced and equitable gender representation in movies.Šiuo tyrimu siekiama prisidėti prie anksčiau atliktų darbų apie šiuolaikines moteris piktadares, giliau analizuojant, kaip jos reprezentuoja stereotipinį modelį kine ir literatūroje. Straipsnyje aptariama Sienna Brooks – pagrindinė antagonistė Dano Browno romane „Inferno“ ir jo ekranizacijoje. Būdama Bertrano Zobristo meilužė, ji pasiryžta užbaigti jo pradėtą veiklą, paleisdama į žmoniją „Inferno“ virusą. Analizuojant feministinį impulsą, atsiskleidžiantį per Siennos antagonizmą herojui, išryškėja binarinių opozicijų ribos, metamas iššūkis literatūros kritikams ir kvestionuojamas lyčių šališkumas. Moterys piktadarės dažnai pasižymi daugialypiu, sudėtingu charakteriu, todėl įgyja daugiau galios nei moterys herojės; tai svariai prisideda prie istorijos pasakojimo. Tiesioginiuose ir netiesioginiuose Browno veikėjos aprašymuose atsiskleidžia Siennos pasaulėžiūra bei mąstysena. Toks moters piktadarės naratyvo vaizdavimas parodo kintantį moterų vaidmenį siužeto konstravime, išryškindamas niuansuoto ir objektyvaus lyčių vaizdavimo kine poreikį

    Nuo scenarijaus iki ekrano: scenarijaus rašymo ir režisūrinio kino prasmės tobulinimas adaptuojant „Da Vinčio kodą“

    This research mainly explores the connection between Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, with the filmmaker’s cinematic depiction of literature. Ron Howard as an adaptation director in the Hollywood industry is evaluated in the context of his auteurism and examined his approach of repudiating a substantial portion of the Catholic secrets which dodged the predicament of fidelity, a core of conventional Film Adaptation. Disregarding the controversy, fidelity is indeed a deliberate action overtly brought by the auteurist vision resulting from screenwriting. This article explores the modern implications of screenwriting on auteurist function, aiming at how Hollywood’s conception of the director’s auteurism in cinema works and the film’s artistic approaches from the novel to the screenplay. This study illustrates that the adaptation highlights the author’s and his work’s superiority yet emphasises the director’s technique as inevitable during the transposition.Šiuo tyrimu siekiama atskleisti ryšį tarp Dano Browno „Da Vinčio kodo“ ir kino kūrėjo kinematografinio literatūros vaizdavimo. Ronas Howardas, kaip Holivudo industrijos adaptacijos režisierius, yra vertinamas autorinio kino kontekste ir dėl jo požiūrio į nemažos dalies katalikiškų paslapčių atsisakymą, kurios išsprendė ištikimybės, kaip įprasto filmų adaptacijos branduolio, keblią padėtį. Nepaisant kontroversiškumo, ištikimybė iš tikrųjų yra sąmoningas veiksmas, kurį atvirai sukelia autorinio kino vizija, atsirandanti dėl rašomo scenarijaus. Šiame straipsnyje nagrinėjama šiuolaikinė scenarijų rašymo reikšmė autoriniam kinui, siekiant išsiaiškinti, kaip veikia Holivudo samprata apie režisieriaus autorystę kine ir filmo meninį požiūrį nuo romano iki scenarijaus. Šis tyrimas atskleidžia, kad adaptacija išryškina autoriaus ir jo kūrinio pranašumą, bei pabrėžia režisieriaus meistriškumą kaip neišvengiamą faktorių perkeliant romaną į scenarijų

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
