Schmitt: Liberal critique through politics
Get PDFNeste artigo nos ocuparemos basicamente de uma linha das abrangentes reflexões de Schmitt que diz respeito ao triunfo das ideias liberais que viriam a ser alvo de ataques de segmentos da esquerda. Nos dias que correm as instituições políticas podem ser entendidas como a compreensão de um conceito de cidadão como mero consumidor cuja vida pública vai sendo progressivamente esvaziada. Nossa proposta é avaliar em que medida muitas das críticas schmittianas ao liberalismo poderiam contribuir ao desenvolvimento da liberal-democracia ou, ao contrário, tão somente contribuir para o socavamento da democracia. Este tipo de argumento pode ser utilizável para compreender se algumas das críticas à democracia e ao liberalismo não deve ser desconsiderada na medida em que entendida como mera crítica reacionária e totalitária à real democracia que nós podemos praticar.These article basicaly looks one of the lines of the comprehensive reflections of
Schmitt concerning to the triumph of liberal ideas wich became the core of many
attacks ruled by some sections of the left. In the days which are running the
political institutions could be directed following the understanding of the concept
of citizens as mere consumer which public life are therefore being to empty. Our
purpose is to analyze in which measure the schmittian critics of liberalism could
contribute to the growth to liberal democracy or, in another sense, just contribute
to the fall of democracy. This kind of argument must be used to understand if some
critics to democracy and liberalism which cannot be disregarded as understood in
reactionary and totalitarian critics to the real democracy we can practice
Política e transparência:
Get PDFThe object of the article is the crisis of contemporary democracy, especially focusing on the problem of visibility that affects the levels of power. The theoretical framework is the work “Democrazia e segreto”, by Norberto Bobbio, the purpose of dialoguing with the liberal socialism of the author is to project essential elements of a political philosophy of democratic-libertarian social-cut. We design on this perspective a bobbian categorization with analytical and normative bias which states the importance of implementing the policy of the categories transparency and truth.El objeto del artículo es un análisis de la crisis de la democracia contemporánea, centrándose especialmente en el problema de los actores que actúan al amparo de la invisibilidad, una estrategia que afecta profundamente las instancias de la democracia. La principal referencia teórica bobbiana utilizada en esta obra es el texto "Democracia y secreto", que ofrece elementos para analizar las limitaciones impuestas a las democracias actuales. Desde esta perspectiva, analizamos la acción de las fuerzas corrosivas sobre la democracia y las posibles estrategias para ampliar el círculo libertario de las democracias. El artículo propone ampliar la comprensión de las consecuencias de la prohibición por parte de las fuerzas políticas de la aplicación de la categoría transparencia al territorio político mediante la difusión a través de la expansión del secreto en la esfera política, y la conexión de estas categorías a través de su exposición como una forma constitutiva del autoritarismo en línea con la afirmación de un pensamiento teológico.O objeto do artigo é análise da crise da democracia contemporânea, focando especialmente o problema de atores que agem sob a capa da invisibilidade, estratégia que afeta profundamente as instâncias da democracia. O principal referencial teórico bobbiano utilizado neste texto é a obra “Democrazia e segreto”, que oferece elementos para analisar as limitações impostas às democracias correntes. A partir desta perspectiva analisamos a atuação das forças corrosivas sobre a democracia e as possíveis estratégias para ampliação do círculo libertário das democracias. O artigo propõe a ampliação da compreensão das consequências da interdição por parte das forças políticas da aplicação da categoria transparência ao território do político através da disseminação através da ampliação do segredo na esfera da política, e a conexão destas categorias através de sua exposição como via constitutiva do autoritarismo em consonância com a afirmação de um pensamento teológico
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
