Materiality of Money in Our Mutual Friend and Middlemarch
No full text金錢的物質性:
《我們共同的朋友》與《米德鎮的春天》
摘要
本論文提出金錢的物質性構成兩本小說，《我們共同的朋友》和《米德鎮的春天》主要特徵。本論文第一章探究《我們共同的朋友》中，金錢工具的物質性如何對角色描述具有重大貢獻。狄更斯於小說中用貴金屬，鈔票，匯票，股票定義角色品格，由此形成文本道德階層。其中貴金屬與鈔票再現主要情節角色道德的功能。相反地，匯票與股票則用以產生次要情節角色的道德虧損感。本章亦兼論小說中金融家的角色。本論文第二章討論 《米德鎮的春天》及論述金錢物質性中較少提及的債信 (credit)。本章提出債信形成兩位男性主角情節的主要架構。本章將先建構出債信的物質性，然後檢驗該小說如何反映及回應維多利亞男性挪用債信物質性以建立仕紳派頭 (gentility)的景況。Materiality of Money in
Our Mutual Friend and Middlemarch
Abstract
In my thesis, I argue that materiality of money constitutes a major feature of two novels, Our Mutual Friend and Middlemarch. In my first chapter, I contend that the materiality of the monetary instruments contributes significantly to our understanding of characters in Our Mutual Friend. I will demonstrate how Dickens creates a moral hierarchy in which characters’ character is defined by the materiality of precious metals, banknotes, bills of exchange, and shares. As I will demonstrate, precious metals and banknotes function to represent morality of characters in the major plots. On the contrary, bills of exchange and shares provoke readers’ suspicion of immorality of minor plots’ characters. Besides, I will examine the role of financiers in the novel. In my second chapter, I turn the attention to Middlemarch and to a much less discussed aspect of materiality of money, credit. It is my contention that credit structures the novel’s two major male plots. I will take on the question of how we can establish credit’s materiality and show how the novel reflects on ways Victorian males experienced appropriation of credit’s materiality for gentility
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
