La función social del arte en el teatro Nuevos Horizontes a partir del ideal anarquista
Get PDFLa función social que desempeñó el Conjunto teatral Nuevos Horizontes en Bolivia demostró que las políticas culturales auto-gestionadas e independientes del Estado y la empresa privada son capaces de convocar a diferentes sectores sociales. El Conjunto, a través del trabajo artístico y cultural recorrió ciudades, pueblos y principalmente centros mineros tanto nacionales como intencionales con el propósito de interrelacionarse con diversos sectores sociales. La intención de Nuevos Horizontes fue llevar obras teatrales y talleres enfocados en diferentes expresiones artísticas a distintas regiones del país. Este trabajo tuvo como base los principios de la ideología ácrata y una propuesta fundamentada en lo que se denomina Educación por el Arte. La experiencia que sostuvo Nuevos Horizontes demostró que el arte es una forma de transmitir conocimientos y saberes desde una perspectiva intercultural
Guayaramerín: una frontera marcada por el río Mamoré y las cachuelas
No full textThis article uses the case of the Bolivian frontier city of Guayaramerin- located in that country´s Beni Department- as a springboard for a discussion of the relationship between water courses and national borderlines. This urban settlement is located on the shores of the important Amazonian Mamoré River and is placed just across an almost homonymous Brazilian city: Guajará-Mirim. The article describes the site where the city was built, its historical permanency, and the role played by the river and its cascades in encouraging its founding just on the borders between Bolivia and Brazil. Gathering information over a specific locale and not about a line or a political/administrative area is prioritized. Thus, the chosen methodology consists in focusing on, and contrasting historic, legiasltive and sociological documents dealing with the selected location, in an effort to understand its establishment, development and durability in a border setting. Also, the colonial past is examined, together with early exploration efforts of the region under the republic and the sources of place names and of population dynamics. Additionally, the diplomatic processes which defined the border during the rubber era, are investigated. Finally, a sketch of recent history is provided in an effort to identify new trends in the trade flows and population exchanges that are taking place in situ. The article ends with a discussion of its own potential contributions to current debates about the Amazonian frontier.En el artículo se abordan las relaciones entre los cursos hídricos y las fronteras, a partir del caso de Guayaramerín, ciudad limítrofe boliviana, en el departamento del Beni. Este asentamiento se localiza sobre el Mamoré, importante río de la cuenca amazónica, y colinda con un centro urbano casi homónimo en Brasil: Guajará-Mirim. Se describe la localización del asentamiento, su permanencia histórica y crecimiento a partir del rol del río y sus cachuelas en la instalación de Guayaramerín y en la frontera entre Bolivia y Brasil. Se prioriza la recolección de información sobre un punto y no sobre una línea, zona o área político-administrativa. Así, en términos metodológicos, se propone concentrar y contrastar lecturas histórico-legislativas y sociológicas sobre el lugar para comprender su creación, desarrollo y estabilidad en un contexto fronterizo. Además, se revisan los antecedentes coloniales, las primeras exploraciones republicanas en la zona y el origen de su toponimia y sus dinámicas poblacionales. También se aborda la formalización diplomática de la frontera en el período cauchero. Finalmente, se desarrollan apuntes de la historia reciente, que identifican los nuevos intercambios comerciales y poblacionales en el lugar, y se subrayan los aportes del estudio a la discusión sobre las fronteras amazónicas
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
