    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal discutir, a partir do conto “Mariana” (1871), como Machado de Assis incorporou elementos históricos na representação da escravidão e do racismo brasileiro em textos ficcionais. É nosso intento demonstrar, partindo do dialogismo e do discurso polifônico (BAKHTIN, 2018) e da crítica realizada por Coutinho (1990), Chalhoub (2020), Rocha (2013), Gledson (2003), Schwarz (2012), nos escritos do autor fluminense, atento às transformações históricas e sociais do Brasil oitocentista, a visão de um mundo escravocrata, ao estilo brasileiro, numa perspectiva crítica do autor.The main objective of this article is to discuss, from the short story “Mariana” (1871), how Machado de Assis incorporated historical elements in the representation of Brazilian slavery and racism in fictional texts. It is our intention to demonstrate, starting from dialogism and polyphonic discourse (BAKHTIN, 2018) and the criticism of Coutinho (1990), Chalhoub (2020), Rocha (2013), Gledson (2003), Schwarz (2012), in the writings by the Fluminense author, attentive to the historical and social transformations of 19th century Brazil, the vision of a slave world, Brazilian style, from a critical perspective of the author

    O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal discutir, a partir da ékphrasis do casarão da família Maia, presente no início do romance Os Maias (1888) de Eça de Queirós, elementos que, estruturantes, convertem o espaço em alegoria que não somente é capaz de mimetizar o caráter das personagens, mas sobretudo, oráculo que é, figurar seu destino, especialmente dos protagonistas do romance português. É nosso intento demonstrar, pois, particularmente na descrição do espaço, a sobrevida de elementos típicos da tragédia antiga no romance de Eça de Queirós, entendidos como fundamentais para sua carga significativa.

    Os biblioepigramas do livro Apoforeta, de Marcial.

    No full text
    O objetivo do artigo é apresentar tradução poética inédita de quatorze epigramas pertencentes ao livro Apoforeta, segundo as edições modernas, o décimo quarto livro de epigramas de Marcial. Os poemas que vertemos constituem um ciclo de epigramas todo ele dedicado aos livros com que, ao londo dos banquetes das Saturnais, os convivas poderiam ser presenteados. "Poemas-cartões" que eram, remetiam, de um lado, à função originária do epigrama como "inscrição", e, de outro, conforme a subespécie "enigma", da epigramática helenística, convidavam o destinatário presente a adivinhar o que ganhara, aspecto que se relacionava com o caráter lúdico da festa. Mas também podiam os epigramas do ciclo ser compreendidos como "biblioepigramas", já que, na brevíssima descrição da obra literária, Marcial tanto fazia as vezes de poeta-filólogo, porque ao tecer juízos poéticos e retóricos assumia discurso crítico, como de poeta-bibliófilo, ao remeter o leitor à materialidade do livro. O livro como objeto indica para o leitor de hoje o matiz helenístico com que o poeta, incorporando a tradição precedente, a julgava e para o público antigo cumpria a função precípua e imediata do mimo que, em virtude das belas encadernações, devia agradar os olhos antes de tudo

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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

    Visões da realidade : Marcel Proust e o estilo.

    Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras. Departamento de Letras, Instituto de Ciências Humanas e Sociais, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a concepção de estilo do escritor francês Marcel Proust. Em um primeiro momento buscamos compreender o estilo em seus primórdios, isto é, em sua chave retórica. Para tanto, fizemos um levantamento de fontes antigas que vão de Homero até Cícero. Em seguida, analisamos as transformações que geraram a noção moderna de estilo, algumas expressões do romantismo e as diferentes perspectivas teóricas de Leo Spitzer, Roman Jakobson e Erich Auerbach. A segunda parte do trabalho consiste em, a partir desse amplo panorama histórico e teórico, analisar como o autor de À la recherche du temps perdu compreendeu o estilo. Para realizar esta etapa da pesquisa, aproximamos o romance de Proust de sua obra crítica. A percepção do estilo proustiano como procedimento eminentemente textual nos possibilitou pensar o autor como reacionário às premissas românticas sobre sujeito e linguagem. Por fim, analisamos a dimensão subjetiva da concepção proustiana de estilo, com o objetivo de verificar como o autor intentava tutelar as tensões e ambivalências que sua Busca enseja.This paper has the intend to analyse the style conception of the french writer Marcel Proust. At first we try to understand the style in its beginnings, that is, in its rhetorical key. So, we did a survey of ancient sources ranging from Homer to Cicero. Next, we analyze the transformations that generated the modern notion of style, some expressions of Romanticism and the different theoretical perspectives of Leo Spitzer, Roman Jakobson and Erich Auerbach. The second part of the work consisted of analyzing, from this broad historical and theoretical landscape, how the author of À la recherche du temps perdu understood the style. To accomplish this stage of the research, we approach Proust's novel of his critical works. The perception of the proustian style as an eminently textual procedure enabled us to think of the author as reactionary to the romantic premises about subject and language. Finally, we analyze the subjective dimension of the proustian conception of style, in order to verify how the author tried to control the tensions and ambivalences that his Search causes
