Fiction and Pragmatics in Ancient Greek Lyric: The Case of Sappho
Full text linkD’Alessio’s paper explores Sappho’s poems from the point view of their textual pragmatics, and analyzes their implications in relation to notional performance contexts.
Examining the way in which linguistic elements internal to the texts point to extra-textual elements, mainly through deixis and indexicals, D’Alessio argues that, contrary to widespread assumptions, Sappho’s poems, with very few exceptions, do not tend to present themselves as embedded in an actual ritual performance context: while performance does occupy a crucial thematic, and cultural role in Sappho’s poetry, it is usually projected into a different time and place, or looked at from its margin.
The article focuses mainly on texts from Book 1 of the ancient standard edition of Sappho (which provide a fairly homogenous corpus, and whose knowledge has recently increased thanks to the publication of new papyrus fragments), but takes into account also relevant texts from the other Books. It is articulated in the following sections:
1) ‘Addresses to gods/ Prayers’: an analysis, from the point of view of pragmatics, of Sappho 1, 2, 5, 15 and 17 (the three latter involving new readings and interpretations based on the new papyrus texts);
2) A section on ‘Stage Directions?’, focusing on texts that apparently entail interaction with internal and/or external performers (this includes Sappho 6, 21, 22, 27, 30, 43, 58, 81), points out that in most cases where the text can be reconstructed with reasonable certainty such ‘stage directions’ do not imply an invitation to perform the song itself in a self-referential way, but locate it outside of the poem;
Section 3), ‘On the margins of a ritual frame?’, examines some passages that explicitly envisage performances as future events: the most interesting text from this point of view is the new Brothers Poem, but recently published fragments suggest that this was very probably the case at least also of Sappho 9.
The last section, 4) ‘An abstract frame’ uses Sappho 31 as a sort of ‘litmus test’ for an overall assessment of the issue. This is a fragmentary poem that has elicited widely divergent responses in recent times, ranging from strictly performative readings to interpretations that, more or less strictly, link the text to written communication (as opposed to oral, communal performance), triggering an important discussion on the relationship between fiction and performance in ancient lyric poetry.
In the paper’s conclusion D’Alessio argues that we should allow the possibility that many, indeed, arguably, most of Sappho’s preserved poems might have been meant for performance outside of a proper ritual frame, for which they provided, nevertheless, with their texts, a very much needed (and, obviously, appreciated) comment and interpretation. It was, it would seem, not their embeddedness within a ritual, but their ability to look at it from the margin, that guaranteed their diffusion and survival beyond their original context
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

No full textPagrindinis dėmesys šiame darbe skiriamas keturių įmonių Otto, Thomas Phillips, BMW, Mersedes-Benz tinklapiams ir jų panaudojimui bei pritaikymui Lietuvos kultūrinėje terpėje. Pasitelkus šių tinklapių pavyzdžius, analizuojama kuo skiriasi vokiški ir lietuviški tų pačių įmonių tinklapiai. Pagrindinis darbo akcentas yra lokalizacija, tiriama Otto, Thomas Phillips, BMW ir Mersedes- Benz įmonių tinklapių pritaikymas Lietuvos tikslinei rinkai ir atsižvelgiama į kultūrinius bei kalbinius skirtumus. Darbe tiriama ir mokslininko Geert Hofstede kultūros dimensijos ir nagrinėjama kaip jos atsispindi lietuviškuose minėtų įmonių portaluose, ar atitinka vertinimo pagal kultūros dimensijas skalę, kurioje yra įvertintos ir palygintos Lietuvos bei Vokietijos kultūros. BMW tinklapio analizėje akcentuojamas iliustracijos ir teksto santykis, tačiau dėmesys skiriamas ir kultūros dimensijoms. Ketvirtosios įmonės Mersedes-Benz analizė yra glausta ir remiasi teorine medžiaga bei trumpomis ištraukomis iš produkto aprašymo. Šiame skyriuje analizuojamas dalykinė tinklapio kalba ir žodžių parinkimas. Darbas susideda iš dviejų pagrindinių dalių t.y. teorinės ir praktinės bei apima septynis skyrius. Pirmoje darbo dalyje pristatoma lokalizacijos sąvoka. Daugelį veiksnių apimantis lokalizacijos terminas analizuojamas pasitelkiant skirtingų autorių siūlomus apibrėžimus. Pristatomi globalizacijos ir internacionalizacjos terminai, apibūdinama kalbinė lokalizacija bei aprašomos Geert Hofstede kultūrinės dimensijos. Kitoje darbo dalyje aptariamas tinklapio apibrėžimas, apžvelgiami hiperteksto, tinklapių dizaino ir vizualių tinklapio elementų pritaikymas. Taigi, šioje dalyje susitelkiama ties tinklapių sandara. Apžvelgus ir pristačius analizei svarbius teorinius aspektus ketvirtoje dalyje pristatomi pasirinktų įmonių tinklapiai ir nagrinėjama bei aprašoma jų sandara. Penktame skyriuje pateikiama pagrindinė darbo analizė pasitelkiant Geert Hofstede kultūros dimensijas ir Lietuvos bei Vokietijos kultūrinius skirtumus pagal Hofstede kulturinių dimensijų sudarytą modelį. Šeštame ir tuo pačiu paskutiniame šio darbo skyriuje pasitelkiant teoriją aprašomas teksto ir iliustracijos santykis BMW internetiniame puslapyje ir Mersedes Benz tinklapyje rasta ištrauka dalykinės kalbos ir žodžių parinkimo aspektais.The diploma work includes four companies – Otto, Thomas Phillips, BMW and Mersedes-Benz, which websites I analysed how they were applied in Lithuanian cultural space. I compared the similarities and differences of these websites in Germany and Lithuania. The main attention was paid to websites of Otto, Thomas Phillips, BMW and Mersedes-Benz companies, how they were applied for Lithuanian customer, keeping in mind linguistical and cultural aspects of local people. I used doctor‘s Geert Hofstede‘s cultural dimension to reveal Lithuanian specifity. to compare these companies I also used the pictures and texts of these websites in German and Lithuania. The diploma work includes two parts: theorical and practical. theorical part includes cultural researchers‘ dimensions, theories and paradigms. practical part includes analysis and comparement of Lithuanian and German websites
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

In Search of a “Newer and Truer” Literature: Thomas Phillips Thompson and The Labor Advocate
No full textThis article describes the uses of literature in The Labor Advocate: A Weekly Labor Reform Newspaper (Toronto, 1890-91). As editor of the Advocate, Thomas Phillips Thompson aimed to increase awareness of the means and consequences of industrial capitalism, and thus enhance the possibility of social justice for the working class. He did so in a mixed format periodical that included poetry, short fiction, and serialized novels as well as editorials, biographies, obituaries, reports, letters, and columns. Over forty-four issues, Thompson experimented with literary expression to attract readers and foster the democratic reform of social organization. Analysis of the Advocate points to the importance of communication strategies in both the early history of the Canadian labour press and the longer history of labour in transnational contexts.Cet article décrit les emplois de la littérature dans The Labor Advocate: A Weekly Labor Reform Newspaper (« Le défenseur syndical : Un journal hebdomadaire pour la réforme du travail ») (Toronto, 1890-91). En tant qu’éditeur du journal Advocate, Thomas Phillips Thompson espérait sensibiliser le public aux moyens et aux conséquences du capitalisme industriel, promouvant ainsi la possibilité de justice sociale pour la classe ouvrière. Il s’est engagé à atteindre cet objectif par le biais d’une publication périodique à format mixte comprenant de la poésie, des nouvelles littéraires et des romans-feuilletons, ainsi que des textes éditoriaux, des biographies, des avis nécrologiques, des comptes-rendus, des lettres et des chroniques. Sur quarante-quatre numéros, Thompson a mis à l’essai de nombreuses différentes expressions littéraires afin d’attirer un plus grand lectorat et encourager la réforme démocratique de l’organisation sociale. Une analyse de The Labor Advocate illustre l’importance des stratégies de communication aux débuts de l’histoire de la presse syndicale canadienne, ainsi qu’à l’histoire plus longue du mouvement ouvrier dans des contextes transfrontaliers
