Goodbye Rainbow : Epitaphs, images and rituals in the funeral speech
No full textLos epitafios, las imágenes y los ritos de la muerte son parte del discurso fúnebre y del dolor representados en muchos elementos de la memoria social y cultural de los colombianos. En el presente libro se asume el estudio del lenguaje fúnebre desde una perspectiva de la lingüística, la antropología, la literatura y la semiótica, pues abre con renovado
interés el examen de los discursos de la muerte y el duelo en un país que lo necesita. Es curioso ver como hay una producción discursiva significativa sobre la muerte pero también hay alrededor de ella una suerte de tabú y de poder que la recluyen al campo de la contingencia. Por eso el estudio que se presenta en este libro pretende ser una oportunidad para que el discurso
fúnebre gane más visibilidad y trascienda el aura del tabú. Todo esto supone retos en los estudios de la lingüística, la literatura, la comunicación y la cultura. En principio el problema que se plantea se sintetizó en dos interrogantes: ¿cómo es el lenguaje de las lápidas?, ¿cuáles son las características del lenguaje fúnebre?, sin embargo esas preguntan no agotan la investigación adelantada. El estudio que se presenta sobre el lenguaje de las lápidas y los epitafios, así como de los ritos e imágenes vinculadas al discurso fúnebre, espera aportar elementos útiles en la práctica cultural para comprender
cómo se expresa el duelo en la sociedad colombiana, además de generar orientaciones más concretas sobre cómo abordar y entender el dolor y la comunicación del duelo en una sociedad cada vez más enferma en sus emociones, pues el dramatismo de la muerte es cada vez más cotidiano y asociado a la violencia, lo cual a su vez viene transformando la forma de
representación y el modo de asumir las emociones asociadas a la muerte.The epitaphs, images and rites of death are part of the funeral discourse and pain represented in many elements of the social and cultural memory of Colombians. This book assumes the study of funeral language from a perspective of linguistics, anthropology, literature and semiotics, as it opens with renewed I am interested in the examination of the discourses of death and mourning in a country that needs it. It is curious to see how there is a significant discursive production about death but there is also a kind of taboo and power around it that confines it to the field of contingency. That is why the study presented in this book aims to be an opportunity for the discourse
funeral gain more visibility and transcend the aura of taboo. All of this poses challenges in the studies of linguistics, literature, communication and culture. In principle, the problem posed was summarized in two questions: what is the language of tombstones like? What are the characteristics of funeral language? However, these questions do not exhaust the research carried out. The study presented on the language of tombstones and epitaphs, as well as the rites and images linked to the funeral speech, hopes to provide useful elements in cultural practice to understand how grief is expressed in Colombian society, in addition to generating more concrete guidelines on how to address and understand pain and the communication of grief in a society that is increasingly sick in its emotions, since the drama of death is increasingly everyday and associated with violence, which in turn has been transforming the way of representation and way of assuming the emotions associated with death.Bogot
Learning about degree work. An experience of engineering education by cycles
No full textEn la época actual, la noción de “organización inteligente” orienta múltiples esfuerzos de mejoramiento en el campo de las ciencias de gestión. Para implementarla, la preocupación institucional permanente por el aprendizaje colectivo se convierte en fundamental. En este libro, los trabajos de grado elaborados por los estudiantes de dos programas académicos organizados por ciclos propedéuticos, se convierten en instrumento de aprendizaje. Empleando un método de investigación mixto compuesto por actividades de: revisión documental, caracterización a través de la estadística descriptiva y discusión grupal, los autores realizan análisis conducentes a la emergencia de un conjunto de lecciones aprendidas de las experiencias vividas y de los resultados obtenidos de este proceso académico. Conscientes de las fortalezas alcanzadas y de los aspectos por mejorar, la reflexión concluye con la proposición de un modelo de gestión estratégica orientado a potenciar la obtención futura de más y mejores resultados derivados de este tipo de trabajos y de su mayor articulación con la estructura académica e investigativa de la universidad que contextualiza el caso analizado.In the current era, the notion of “intelligent organization” guides multiple improvement efforts in the field of management sciences. To implement it, permanent institutional concern for collective learning becomes fundamental. In this book, the degree works prepared by the students of two academic programs organized by propaedeutic cycles become a learning instrument. Using a mixed research method composed of activities of: documentary review, characterization through descriptive statistics and group discussion, the authors carry out analyzes leading to the emergence of a set of lessons learned from the experiences lived and the results obtained from this academic process. Aware of the strengths achieved and the aspects to improve, the reflection concludes with the proposal of a strategic management model aimed at promoting the future obtaining of more and better results derived from this type of work and its greater articulation with the academic structure. and investigative research of the university that contextualizes the case analyzed.Bogot
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
