Georgios A. Megas (1893–1976) and his contribution to the academic organization and development of Greek folklore : a review of evaluations of his work
Get PDFThis paper presents the contribution of George A. Megas (1893–1976), an academician and professor at the University of Athens, to the academic organization and development of Greek Folklore, through a review of evaluations of his work. It focuses on the ideological and methodological components of his work and the position it could hold in the academic study of Greek folk culture, and reveals that it established the guidelines adopted by folklore studies in Greece today. This paper also critically examines relevant aspects of the existing literature and perspectives on the academic character of Megas\u27s work and his contribution to the study of historical folklore, folk literature, and traditional architecture in Greece
Some observations on Greek popular worship and the traditional religiosity of the Greek people
Get PDFMan\u27s relationship to the beyond and the supernatural as well as the systematisation of humanity\u27s corresponding pursuit of it in religions and the elaboration of organised rituals for expressing these convictions and worshiping the divine are realities lost in the beginnings of human presence on earth. Indeed, the specialisation of these perceptions and rituals and the concomitant appearance and shaping of the particular order of the priesthood led to a delineation between official and folk worship, the first being studied by the discipline of theology and the second by folklore studies, specifically the branch of "religious folklore". For these reasons, the relevant literature is constantly expanding and corresponding folklore studies are presently flourishing. This will continue as people never stop creating culturally and adopting new viewpoints and holding events where these forms correspond to relevant psychological needs. Because of this, "religious folklore" constitutes a constantly developing branch of folklore studies with great prospects for the future and space for many young academics to carry out research. Some aspects of the main forms of Greek popular religiosity will be examined in this paper

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
Λαϊκές θρησκευτικές τελετουργίες και δοξασίες στον ελλαδικό χώρο για τον Άγιο Δημήτριο
No full textΠτυχιακή εργασίαΗ παρούσα εργασία αποβλέπει στην παρουσίαση βασικών στοιχείων από τον βίο και τη δράση του αγίου Δημητρίου, καθώς και στην καταγραφή των εορτασμών και των εθίμων από διάφορα μέρη της Ελλάδας. Παράλληλα, επισημαίνονται και οι προχριστιανικές ιδέες ή οι αντιλήψεις που επικρατούσαν κατά την αρχαιότητα και από τις οποίες πηγάζουν τα έθιμα αυτά, τα οποία υπό το χριστιανικό μανδύα διατηρήθηκαν, αναβίωσαν ή χάθηκαν μέσα στους αιώνες. Εν κατακλείδι, στο τελευταίο κεφάλαιο γίνεται μια προσπάθεια ανίχνευσης και καταγραφής ειδών του έντεχνου λαϊκού λόγου, κυρίως δημοτικά τραγούδια, ποιήματα και παροιμίες, τα οποία σχετίζονται με τον άγιο Δημήτριο.52 σ
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
