Il tatuaggio nella letteratura del tardo periodo Edo
No full text江戸後期戯作における刺青
葛飾北斎や歌川国芳などが描いた、『水滸伝』の英雄の身体の彩り鮮やかな刺青はよく知られているが、北斎以前の江戸時代においては刺青というものが戯作で自分を飾るための手段、かつ、自分のアイデンティティを表現する手段としてすでに語られていた。戯作の中では、男伊達、芸者および下級、時に中級の女郎はよく刺青と深い関りを示す。特に女郎の場合では、刺青は心中立ての表現でもあった。時には、刺青は登場人物の人格設定を支えることもあり、その人物はどんな者かを表現するために使われることがある。また刺青は物語の構造の軸になることもある。田螺金魚著『妓者呼子鳥』はその一つの例である。本稿は江戸後期文学の中の刺青の著述的意味を探ることを目的としている。「ホリモノ事件」などを含むテキストを紹介かつ分析し、それを例に江戸後期文学における間テキスト性はどう機能するかを考察する。Tattoo in late Edo-period popular literature
Even before Hokusai’s (1760-1849) and Kuniyoshi’s (1797-1861) flamboyant patterns on the Suikoden (Chinese: Shuihu zhuan, Water Margin, 14th century) heroes’ bodies, popular literature from the second half of the 18th century vividly testifies to the practice of tattooing for aesthetic or identitary purposes. Among the figures often connected to the practice of dermatography, there appeared the otokodate ‘the chivalrous young men’ and the female entertainers or prostitutes (often of low- or middle-rank prostitutes), who used tattoos as a means to swear eternal love to a customer. Sometimes tattoos support the characterisation of protagonists, unveiling their true role in the story, which may vary from story to story and according to where in Edo the plot is set. In other texts, tattos may become the central mechanism pushing the story forward, like in Geisha yobukodori (Geisha, the lamenting cuckoo, 1777). This paper seeks to analyse the significance of tattoos in the milieu of Edo pleasure quarters, by taking into exam some of its popular fictionalisations. The objective is twofold: on the one hand, it aims to make a survey of those stories in which tattoos function as a meaningful narrative mechanism is conducted; on the other hand, it uses the results of such survey to formulate some more general considerations about the intertextual relations among texts in Edo literature
Chapter La parola giapponese per ‘penisola’, l’interpretazione di composti sconosciuti secondo Suzuki Takao, e il contenuto descrittivo dei nomi propri
No full textOn Interpreting ‘Peninsula’ and the Japanese 半島 ‘Half-Island’
Get PDFPeople interpret unfamiliar compounds by combining the component concepts into a new, complex concept. When the constituents have foreign roots, as happens in English neoclassical compounds and in Japanese words borrowed from Chinese, interpreters must first assign a semantic gloss to each component. The decoding of peninsula and 半島 follows such a pattern. But whilst construing and processing peninsula and the Latin paene īnsula as ‘almost island’ is relatively simple, inferring the denotation of 半島 is more complicated because gloss assignment yields the opaque ‘half-island’. In the end, though, the interpretative process succeeds in this case as well, thanks to world-knowledge validation, and allows interpreters to understand that ‘half-islands’ are not islands at all
Seminario di otto ore (quattro lezioni)
No full textThis seminar concerns the semantics of Japanese verbs, and how it determines particle assignment and the expression of surface cases. During the seminar a number of linguistic notions are used, such as semantic role, case, grammatical relation and argument realization. These notions are explained and discussed in detail so that the seminar can be attended by students that are yet not familiar with them. Also, during the seminar the relation of verbs, cases and semantic roles are explained by means graphs and tables. In addition to providing a deep insight into the construction of Japanese verbs, thi seminar is also interesting for advanced students, since it proposes a new, original method of explaining verb semantics and syntax
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
