    喬伊斯作品裡書寫者與郵差的動態關係

    No full text
    Since Gabriel’s announcement that “Here I am as right as the mail,” Joyce has been preoccupied with the dynamic polyvalence contained in Gabriel’s statement. The right/write & mail/male interchange & permutation present themselves in Joyce’s engaging portraits of such writing-and-righting males as Stephen Dedalus, of the righting males such as Blazes Boylan & the Citizen, of the problematic (thus not right?) males such as Bloom, & of the mail-writing, philandering Bloom, alias Henry Flower. Joyce is keen on exploring & exploiting the readily transgressed boundaries in these two dyads. Especially prominent in the symbolic patrilineage building of the self-styled artist of Stephen Dedalus & the plotting, letter-writing Bloom, there emerges the complicated affiliation between the writing pen-man & the not-so-right post-man in Ulysses. Foreshadowing the sibling rivalry between Shem & Shaun in Finnegans Wake, the penman-postman affiliation in Ulysses is imbricated with serious dialectics.本文擬追溯喬伊斯作品裡「書寫者」與「郵差」這二個後來在《芬尼根守 靈記》極為突顯的角色形成之源起。於《畫像》裡就已身懷作家夢的史蒂芬, 於《尤利西斯》裡小說安排他先擔任信差的任務,由於替狄西校長致報社的信 擔任遞送差役,史蒂芬必得先犧牲其身為作家的天職,此舉似暗示身上懷有他 人信件與成為作家這回事互為齟齬。而布魯姆成天身上藏有與筆友通信的信 件,此舉亦推翻他有可能成為作家的身份,因為他與筆友的通信使用假名, 他 的作者權可說已被剝奪,充其量是個名符其實的信差而已。但另一方面,布魯 姆在《尤》裡又具有多重的身份,連名字也有許多變化,這又與他擅於創造新 字的能力相通,証明他也有成為作家的潛力。在《尤》裡,這二種角色常遊移 於小說二位男主角身上,布魯姆、史蒂芬二人在小說裡最後具有象徵的父子關 係,這也暗示寫作者與郵差二種角色身份密切的聯繫,也就是說,在《芬尼根 守靈記》裡這二者緊密的關係早已在《畫像》與《尤》裡就已鋪陳完畢

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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
