Desmemória: relato sobre a recriação de uma canção
Get PDFThis text reports a creative journey that began based on the listening of the work Everywhere at the end of time by composer James Leyland Kirby. Kirby's composition, which he signed with the alias The Caretaker, is a musical representation of memory damage caused by Alzheimer's disease. One of the expressive resources used in the work was the electronic deterioration of a 1930s American love song named Heartaches. An exercise was proposed to me: that I should create new lyrics for this love song, approaching the same subject of Everywhere at the end of time - Alzheimer's effects - so that, after that, it could be arranged and performed as Choro. The exercise was developed based on procedures frequently employed by songwriter Chico Buarque to write song lyrics: these procedures were found in testimonials given by him through his musical career. Two test versions were created plus a definitive one, through partnership, named Desmemória (Unmemory): the three versions are about memory loss and the difficulty of registering new ones, treating Alzheimer on its potential analgesic effect by erasing, amongst many memories, heartaches from the past. One of the goals of the creative exercise is to reproduce Buarque's way of putting lyrics into melodies, so the main resources used in the process were the use of a thesaurus and a rhyming dictionary, followed by attention to some literary principles such as poetic forms and prosody. By the end of the report the access link to a recorded version of the choro song Desmemória (Unmemory) is made avaliable so the listening can be possible.Este texto relata un viaje creativo que surgió a partir de la escucha de la obra Everywhere at the end of time, del compositor inglés James Leyland Kirby. La composición de Kirby, cuyo nombre en clave es The Caretaker, es una representación musical del daño a la memoria causado por la enfermedad de Alzheimer. Uno de los recursos expresivos utilizados en la obra fue el deterioro electrónico de una canción de amor estadounidense de los años 1930, titulada Heartaches. Me pidieron el ejercicio de crear una nueva letra para esta canción de amor, abordando el mismo tema de Everywhere at the end of time – los efectos de la enfermedad de Alzheimer – para, posteriormente, poder arreglarla e interpretarla como Choro. El ejercicio se desarrolló a partir de algunos procedimientos frecuentemente adoptados por el compositor Chico Buarque para escribir canciones. Estos procedimientos se encontraron en declaraciones dadas por él a lo largo de su carrera musical. Fueron creadas, en colaboración, dos versiones de letra provisional y una definitiva, titulada Desmemória; las tres versiones abordan la pérdida de la memoria procedimental y la dificultad para asimilar nuevos recuerdos, tratando el Alzheimer en su potencial efecto analgésico al borrar, entre muchos otros recuerdos, los dolores amorosos del pasado. Como uno de los objetivos del ejercicio creativo es reproducir la forma de escribir melodías de Buarque, los principales recursos utilizados en el proceso fueron el uso de un diccionario analógico y un diccionario de rimas, seguido de la atención a algunos fundamentos de la literatura, como las formas poéticas y prosodia. Al final del reportaje, se pone a disposición el link de acceso a una versión grabada del Choro Canção Desmemória, para permitir su escucha.Este texto relata um percurso criativo que surgiu a partir da escuta da obra Everywhere at the end of time, do compositor inglês James Leyland Kirby. A composição de Kirby, que assina a obra com o codinome The Caretaker, é uma representação musical dos danos causados pelo Mal de Alzheimer na memória. Um dos recursos expressivos utilizados na obra foi a deterioração eletrônica de uma canção de amor americana, da década de 1930, intitulada Heartaches, de Al Hoffman e John Klenner. A mim foi proposto pelo violonista curitibano André Garcia o exercício de criar uma nova letra para essa canção amorosa, abordando a mesma temática de Everywhere at the end of time – os efeitos do Mal de Alzheimer – para que, na sequência, ela pudesse ser arranjada e executada como um choro. O exercício foi desenvolvido tendo como base alguns procedimentos frequentemente adotados pelo compositor Chico Buarque para letrar canções. Esses procedimentos foram extraídos de depoimentos concedidos por ele, ao longo da sua carreira musical. Foram criadas duas versões de letras provisórias e uma definitiva, em parceria, intitulada Desmemória; as três versões tratam da perda de memória processual e da dificuldade de assimilação de novas lembranças, tratando o Alzheimer no seu potencial efeito analgésico ao apagar, entre tantas outras lembranças, as dores amorosas do passado. Sendo um dos objetivos do exercício criativo reproduzir o modo buarqueano de letrar melodias, os principais recursos utilizados no processo foram o uso de um dicionário analógico e de um dicionário de rimas, seguidos da atenção a alguns fundamentos da Literatura, como as formas poéticas e a prosódia. Ao final do relato o link de acesso para uma versão gravada do choro canção Desmemória é disponibilizado, para viabilizar a escuta
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
