No full textInternational audienceIn this paper, we aim to address the debut novel Terra Fria by the Portuguese descendant Ana Maria Torres, written and published in French in 2022. In a village in the north of Portugal, in the eastern part of Trás-Os-Montes, the conflictual trajectories, perspectives, childhood memories and origins of two women, Madalena and Marta, mother and daughter, take shape. One wants to pursue a better life by emigrating to France, the other wants to return to the place where her roots are inscribed. In a very concise way, between myths and mythologies, sayings, knowledge and flavors, it is depicted a way of life which encompasses the village, the house, domestic work, such as making bread, agricultural work with its various cycles, but also festivals and initiation rites - a world on the brink of collapse and of being devoured by oblivion. But it is also a portrait of Portugal drawn in filigree: the situation of women in a system dominated by patriarchy, poverty, emigration and which seems not to have been touched by the April Revolution. The writing is lean, dense and made with great poetic restraint, not dwelling on details, in order to capture only the essential, through chapters that mirror each other, which portraits Portuguese realities and even goes beyond them, reaching a more intimate, profound and universal world, so much to the liking of the great master from Trás-os-Montes, Miguel Torga, author of the book's epigraph. With a very elaborate writing, Ana Maria Torres presents us with a palette of colors, smells, images, rumours, only possible due to the transfigurative mastery of the writer. After an analysis of the axes outlined above, we will try to demonstrate how these voices of female characters convey not only their identity, but also form part of a community of citizens who try to preserve their roots despite everything that disappears.Propomo-nos abordar nesta comunicação o romance de estreia Terra Fria da lusodescendente Ana Maria Torres, escrito e publicado em francês em 2022. Numa aldeia do norte de Portugal, na parte oriental de Trás-Os-Montes, confrontam-se os percursos, os olhares, as memórias da infância e das origens de duas mulheres, Madalena e Marta, mãe e filha. Uma deseja partir para uma vida melhor emigrando para França, a outra deseja regressar ao lugar onde se inscrevem as suas raízes. De forma muito concisa, entre mitos e mitologias, dizeres, saberes e sabores, desfila um modo de vida que passa em revista a aldeia, a casa, os trabalhos domésticos, como o fazer do pão, a faina agrícola com os seus diversos ciclos, mas também as festas e os ritos de inicição, um mundo que tende a desmoronar-se e a ser devorado pelo esquecimento. Mas é também um retrato de Portugal que se desenha em filigrana: a situação das mulheres num sistema onde reina o patriarcado, a pobreza, a emigração, no qual a Revolução de Abril não parece ter passado. A escrita é enxuta, densa e com grande contenção poética não se demorando em pormenores para captar apenas o essencial, através de capítulos espelhados, que captam não só realidades portuguesas mas que as ultrapassam para atingir um mundo mais íntimo, profundo, que atinge o universal, tão ao gosto do grande mestre transmontano, Miguel Torga, autor da epígrafe do livro. Com uma escrita muito elaborada, Ana Maria Torres coloca-nos diante dos olhos uma paleta de cores, odores, imagens, rumores, só possíveis graças à sua mestria transfiguradora. Após uma análise dos eixos acima esboçados procuraremos demonstrar de que forma estas vozes das personagens femininas veiculam não só a sua identidade, como se inscrevem numa comunidade de cidadãos que tenta preservar as raízes apesar de tudo o que desaparece
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
