Experimentum virtutis Frydrusza Herburta, poenitentia Bolesława albo o interpretowaniu utworów Mikołaja Sępa Szarzyńskiego
Full text linkThe article undertakes to interpret two poetical pieces by Mikołaj Sęp Szarzyński: Pieśń o Frydruszu and Epitaphium Boleslao Audaci, Regi Poloniae, while including considerations contained in Czesław Hernas’s Barok (along with the scholar’s other synthesis, Literatura baroku). The said texts are interpreted in the context of epic tradition and those traditions that relate to Bolesław Śmiały (Szczodry; king of Poland, Bolesław II the Bold or the Generous) and also to the impact of Boethius’s thought. Another issue analysed by the author is the method of comparing Sęp Szarzyński’s works in the both mentioned syntheses by Hernas.The article undertakes to interpret two poetical pieces by Mikołaj Sęp Szarzyński: Pieśń o Frydruszu and Epitaphium Boleslao Audaci, Regi Poloniae, while including considerations contained in Czesław Hernas’s Barok (along with the scholar’s other synthesis, Literatura baroku).

“That we couldn’t turn our eyes away”. Courtly culture in Peregrynacja Maćkowa
No full textReferring to my previous research (Wojtowicz 2010, 2011), the article analyses a humorous text entitled Peregrynacja Maćkowa (Maciek’s Peregrination, printed in 1612) which offers a parodic and satirical take on the ideas characteristic of courtly culture. I examine how these ideas are mocked with the use of parodic travesty. What serves as a starting point for discussion are the analyses of courtly culture by Rüdiger Schnell (in Die höfische Kultur des Mittelalters zwischen Ekel und Ästhetik). Apart from parodying courtly culture, the author of Peregrynacja Maćkowa mocks the chivalric romance and travel novels as well as alludes to the Brautwerbung motif
Galla Anonima causae scribendi
Full text linkThe subject-matter of the work is letters and epilogues in Gesta by the so called Gallus Anonymus, especially topics they present. The author builds a multi-coloured series of topics on the basis of his own cultural awareness with very blurred references to social realities. Thus, the most important role is given to those places in Gesta which overcome or do not respect conventions and relatively change attitude towards them. A discussion on Gallus Anonymus intensified in the last decade, loses a lot without being re-recognised generally speaking, the sphere of literary conventions or topics. The main obstacle in clear-cut and reliable findings concerning intended and factual reception of Gesta can be noticed in conventions used that were often treated by interpreters as a social reality while all statements formulated by Gall cannot be literally treated.The subject-matter of the work is letters and epilogues in Gesta by the so called Gallus Anonymus, especially topics they present.

New issues of the poet – old academic textbooks. A few notes about the academic works about Mikołaj Sęp Szarzyński’s verse
No full textThe author, referring to the presence of Boethius’ thought (The Consolation of Philosophy – De consolatione philosophiae) in the poetry of Mikołaj Sęp Szarzyński (c. 1550–c. 1581), indicates the presence of the “Model of the Universe” (Clive S. Lewis), Aristotelian vision of the cosmos (Edward Grant) in his work, consistently omitted in Czesław Hernas’ academic textbooks Barok, earlier in the book of Jan Błoński. This non-inclusion leads to misleading interpretations, especially in the context of the theological dimension of this poetry. This sort of literary criticism led to the controversial status of the poet in the history of ancient Polish literature. Sęp Szarzyński took up the tradition of using the Model, even pagan, in the interest of religious content, his faith. The model based on Aristotle’s doctrine brings religious certainty. In fact it strengthens it, but does not weaken faith.Autor, nawiązując do obecności myśli Boecjusza („O pocieszeniu, jakie daje filozofia”) w poezji Sępa-Szarzyńskiego (ok. 1550–ok 1581), wskazuje na obecność Modelu (C.S. Lewis), arystotelesowskiej wizji kosmosu (E. Grant) w jego twórczości, konsekwentnie pomijanego w podręczniki akademickim Czesława Hernasa, wcześniej zaś w książce Jana Błońskiego. Nieobecność ta prowadzi do mylących interpretacji, zwłaszcza w kontekście teologicznego wymiaru tej poezji. Prowadziła także do kontrowersyjnego statusu poety w historii dawnej literatury polskiej. Sęp podejmuje tradycję korzystania z wyobrażeń Modelu, jeszcze pogańskich, w interesie treści religijnych, swej wiary. Model oparty na doktrynie Arystotelesa przynosi pewność, wzmacnia, nie osłabia wiarę
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
