A study on gender in nineteenth-century Brazil: the case Anna Jansen, Queen of Maranhão
No full textDissertação de mestrado em ContabilidadeEste trabalho tem como objetivo analisar e compreender a atuação de Anna
Joaquina Jansen à frente dos negócios da família sob a perspectiva da pesquisa de gênero
em história da contabilidade. Para tanto, o período compreendido por esta pesquisa foi o
século XIX, tendo como ponto de partida o ano do casamento de Anna Jansen com o
Coronel Izidoro Pereira, 1822, encerrando-se em 1869, ano de seu falecimento.
Por tratar-se de uma análise documental realizada em arquivos históricos, o
presente estudo tem como principais fontes os documentos manuscritos do século XIX,
dentre os quais se tem o inventário de Anna Jansen, registros portuários, assim como
solicitações dirigidas a D. Pedro II.
O enquadramento teórico utilizado na investigação é retirado da literatura que
explora os conceitos de gênero e contabilidade, sendo também considerado o conceito de
emancipação oriundo desta relação, uma vez que a contabilidade, como uma ciência social,
é capaz de atuar como ferramenta emancipatória em benefício dos grupos sociais menos
favorecidos.
Mediante a análise dos manuscritos e dos jornais da época foi possível constatar
que Anna Jansen se tornou detentora de uma das maiores fortunas da região ao ficar viúva
do seu primeiro marido, o Coronel Izidoro Pereira, e por meio desta fortuna conseguiu
atingir lugar de destaque na sociedade maranhense. Anna Jansen soube aproveitar-se das
circunstâncias que corriam a seu favor e tornou-se reconhecida e temida como a matriarca
dos Jansen no Maranhão colonial. Sua atuação representa um romper dos paradigmas que
tendem a anular a participação feminina em atividades econômicas e políticas. Sua
capacidade gerencial se reflete em ações que a levaram a ser reconhecida principalmente
por ser uma mulher muito a frente da época em que viveu. Embora não se tenha
conhecimento de registros técnicos mantidos por Anna Jansen ao longo de sua vida,
constata-se por meio dos documentos primários analisados que possuía grande destreza
para a administração de suas propriedades e de seus bens.This paper aims to analyze and understand the role of Anna Joaquina Jansen ahead
of the family businesses from the perspective of gender research in the history of
accounting. Thus, the period covered by this research was the nineteenth century, taking as
its starting point the year of Anna Jansen‘s wedding with Coronel Izidoro Pereira, 1822,
ending up in 1869, the year of his death.
As this is a documentary analysis in historical archives, the present study has as
main sources the handwritten documents of the nineteenth century, among which are Anna
Jansen‘ inventory, port records, as well as requests addressed to D. Pedro II.
The theoretical framework used in the investigation is taken from the literature
that exploits the concepts of gender and accounting, being also considered the concept of
emancipation derived from this relation, since accounting as a social science is able to act
as a liberating tool benefiting the most disadvantaged social groups.
By analyzing the manuscripts and newspapers of the time it was established that
Anna Jansen became the owner of one of the largest fortunes in the region after becoming
the widow of her first husband, Coronel Izidoro Pereira, and through this fortune could
prominently achieve in Maranhão society. Anna Jansen knew how to take advantage of
circumstances that were running in her favor and became known and feared as the
matriarch of Jansen in colonial Maranhão. Her performance represents a breaking of
paradigms that tend to cancel the participation of women in economic and political
activities. Her management skills are reflected in actions that led her to be mainly
recognized for being a very forward woman of the age in which she lived. Although it was
not possible to find technical records kept by Anna Jansen throughout her life, it has been
possible through primary documents analyzed to gain knowledge that she had great
dexterity for the administration of her properties and goods
Accounting history and the feminine gender: The case Anna Jansen, Queen of Maranhão (19th Century)
Get PDFThis paper aims to analyze and understand the role of Anna Joaquina Jansen ahead of the family businesses from the perspective of feminine gender research in the history of accounting. Thus, the period covered by this research was the nineteenth century, taking as its starting point the year of Anna Jansen’s wedding with Coronel Izidoro Pereira, 1822, ending up in 1869, the year of her death.
The theoretical framework used in this study is taken from the literature that explores the concepts of gender and accounting, and also adopts the concept of emancipation coming from this relationship, since accounting as a social practice, it is capable of acting as an emancipatory tool for the benefit of disadvantaged social groups. The main sources of this study are the handwritten documents of the nineteenth century, among which are Anna Jansen’ inventory, port records, as well as requests addressed to D. Pedro II.
By analyzing the manuscripts and newspapers of the time it was concluded that Anna Jansen became the owner of one of the largest fortunes in the region after becoming the widow of her first husband, Coronel Izidoro Pereira, and through this fortune has achieved a prominent position in the Maranhão society. Her performance represents a breaking of paradigms that tend to cancel the participation of women in economic and political activities, and led to her recognition as a woman far ahead of the time in which she lived. Although it was not possible to find technical records kept by Anna Jansen throughout her life, it has been possible through primary documents to gain knowledge that she had great dexterity for the administration of her properties and assets
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
