Multiple Translatorship
Full text linkCoining the concept of “multiple translatorship,” this introduction discusses the multiple ways in which the translator’s agency is intertwined with that of other parties in the process of bringing the translation into the world. Multiple translatorship is considered from three perspectives: multiple translatorship in the translation process (exploring the intricate web of relations between those involved in the translation event), multiple translatorship in the translation product (tracing possible influences in paratexts and preliminary drafts), and authority and authorship in multiple translatorship.Proposant une notion nouvelle, celle de « l’autorité traductive multiple », cette introduction examine les nombreuses manières dont la capacité d’action du traducteur est intimement liée à celle d’autres agents au cours du processus par lequel nait une traduction. L’autorité traductive multiple est envisagée selon trois perspectives : celle de la traduction comme processus (partant d’une exploration du réseau complexe de relations qui se tisse entre tous ceux qui participent à l’événement traductif), celle de la traduction comme produit (selon les traces que divers agents peuvent laisser notamment dans les paratextes et les versions préliminaires d’une traduction), et celle des questions d’autorité et de responsabilité auctoriale dans des contextes d’autorité traductive multiple
Grammatica danese: fonetica,morfologia, sintassi ed esercizi
No full textIl volume presenta in modo dettagliato le regole grammaticali della lingua danese contemporanea. Scritto in ottica contrastiva il testo spiega con chiarezza tutti gli aspetti che presentano particolari problemi per i madrelingua italiani. In particolare un ampio capitolo è interamente dedicato alla pronuncia danese, che rappresenta una delle maggiori difficoltà nell’apprendimento di questa lingua.
La trattazione dei vari argomenti grammaticali è illustrata con numerosi esempi, onde ottimizzare,
mediante l’unione di teoria e pratica, l’apprendimento della lingua e fornire uno strumento didattico completo.
Ogni capitolo è corredato di una ricca sezione di esercizi, di cui sono fornite le soluzioni online in modo da facilitare l’autoapprendimento.
Al volume è allegato un CD-Audio con esercizi realizzati per facilitare lo studente nell’acquisizione della pronuncia e nella comprensione della lingua.
Il testo si rivolge non solo a studenti di danese e lingue nordiche, ma anche a chiunque, appassionato alla linguistica o spinto da esigenze pratiche, sia interessato ad apprendere la lingua danese
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
Nordic Soundscapes and Italian Fantasies: Riccardo Zandonai and Arturo Rossato Rewrite Selma Lagerlöf
No full textThe Italian translations of Selma Lagerlöf’s novels date back to the 1910s, after Lagerlöf had been awarded the Nobel Prize. Critics and scholars praised her work but focused almost exclusively on the atmosphere they evoked. Indeed, for a long time Lagerlöf’s opus was described by Italian scholars according to critical paradigms resembling the Orientalism later theorised by Edward Said. In contrast, the social aspects of Lagerlöf’s works were often underestimated by Italian critics. This article sets off from the translation and reception of Lagerlöf’s works in Italy in the 1920s and 1930s and focuses on Riccardo Zandonai and Arturo Rossato’s I cavalieri di Ekebù, a rewriting loosely based on Gösta Berling’s Saga. Staged for the first time in 1925, I cavalieri di Ekebù met with great success among audiences in Milan and Rome. This article focuses on Nordic exoticism as an essential trait in Zandonai’s rewriting process. Although the plot is set in the 1820s, the atmosphere evoked in the opera is reminiscent of a mythicised and romanticised medieval Nordic past. The music is also noteworthy thanks to Zandonai’s use of Nordic folk songs. This article demonstrates that Zandonai’s opera features a process of cultural adaptation while resorting to stereotypes usually found in Swedish and Scandinavian culture. It also investigates why Northern Europe was still romanticised at the time the opera was composed
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
Il sapore d’antico delle sillabe danesi
No full textContrary to commonplaces, the Danish language, in addition to undoubted innovations, also presents various archaisms. One of them consists in maintaining the four original possibilities in the syllabic sequences: VC, VCC, V̄C, V̄C
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
