How the west was won by fiction: the appearance of fictional narrative and Leisurely reading in Western literature (11th and 12th century)
No full textThe chapter focuses on the changes that took place around 1100 in the relation between a text and both its author and its reader and that were conditional for the creation of texts meant for leisurely reading and consisting of fictional or perhaps fictitious narrative. These changes can be linked to a clear shift in Latin’s social functioning. During the second half of the eleventh century takes the spread of learning its start that will lead to a tremendous increase of the schooled population. This growth of general alphabetisation and of literacy causes a break with Latin’s former functioning as a kind of initiatory language, giving access into an a-temporal world of spiritual truth. From now on, at the schools, Latin reading was within the grasp of many. Together with the recovery of many newly found classical texts as well as with the prevalence of dialectic reasoning at the schools, questioning the traditional authorities, we can notice how during the last decades of the 11th century a disjunction occurs between a writer and the voice in his text, thus giving rise to the coming into being of the text as a universe on its own, but created and ruled by its writer. The focus does not lie upon the linguistic or social context of this process but rather upon the question of how during the 12th century the disjunction of the writer and the voice in his text slowly resulted in the writer’s freedom with regard to his act of writing. This freedom seemed the necessary condition for the creation of fiction and drama, two forms of literature that were born in the 12th century and had their impact on the dialogue between literature in Latin and in the emerging vernacular languages
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

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
