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
La concepción político-retórica de Isócrates, Cicerón y Quintiliano
Get PDFA diferencia de la opinión mantenida por la filosofía socrático-platónica, Isócrates, Cicerón y Quintiliano consideraban el cultivo personal (a través de la búsqueda de la sabiduría) y el bien colectivo (a través de la participación en la política) dos fines complementares. En términos más generales, para ellos la interconexión entre teoría y práctica era – tanto política como filosóficamente – una cuestión crucial. Una cuestión en la cual consideraban que la retórica jugaba un papel central. Entendida como la práctica de la elocuencia pública y el núcleo de la educación cívica, para ellos este arte constituía el medio principal para difundir la sabiduría en toda la comunidad transformándola en acción política. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar cómo estos tres pensadores transformaron la retórica desde una mera capacidad de persuasión en una de las manifestaciones más altas de sabiduría práctica y el fundamento de una concepción significativa de la actividad política.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
¿Qué perspectivas para la cosmópolis? Reconsiderando el debate sobre el universalismo a través de Giambattista Vico
No full textThis article proposes an interpretation of the work of Giambattista Vico in order to show its relevance for the current debate between liberal universalism and its critics. After a critical reconstruction of its origin at the dawn of Modernity, and having iden- tified rationalism as one of its decisive features, we shall analyse some of the criticisms currently levelled against it by various postmodern authors. The work of Vico and of the traditions from which he drank are found to be a rich source of ideas that may lead us toward a way out of the dead-end that this debate is currently facing
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
Hannah Arendt
No full text[Excerto] Hannah Arendt (1906 – 1975) é uma das pensadoras políticas mais relevantes do século XX.
Nascida na Alemanha de uma família de origem judia, por causa das perseguições nazis em
1933 foi obrigada a deixar este pais e a buscar refúgio, primeiro em França e depois nos
Estados Unidos, país onde acabou por passar o resto da sua vida. De índole sociável, mas ao
mesmo tempo com uma forte tendência para a introspecção e a reflexão, Arendt mostrou
desde muito jovem um grande interesse pela cultura e em particular pela poesia, a filosofia e

Nadia Urbinati on populism, representation, and rhetoric: some critical remarks
Get PDFThis paper examines Urbinati’s theory of populism with the aim of bringing to the fore a lacuna in such theory. The lacuna concerns her appreciation of the role of rhetoric in populism and more in general in democracy. If Urbinati’s general understanding of politics recognizes an important role to rhetoric, such recognition is not accompanied by a systematic analysis of what rhetoric is and how it operates. The effects of such deficiency can be appreciated in her theory of populism. On the one hand, her critical account of populism seems to hinge significantly on the kind of rhetoric and more generally of style it adopts, on the other the question of what precisely characterizes such rhetoric and style is left mostly unaddressed. The result is that Urbinati’s account of populism loses some explanatory power, with regards both to the nature of populism and the responses to it

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
Actualizing democratic citizenship: Hannah Arendt and classical rhetoric on judgment and persuasion
No full text[Excerpt] Hannah Arendt, undoubtedly one of the greatest political philosophers of our times, is known for the distinctiveness and originality of her vision. Trained as a philosopher, she came to develop along the years a pointedly critical stance toward the bulk of western philosophy, which she accused of a deep and generalized lack of sensibility toward politics, an entrenched inability to understand it in its proper terms. Of course, this doesn’t mean that Arendt was not influenced, and even profoundly, by important philosophers (we could mention for instance the names of Socrates, Aristotle, Augustine, Kant, Nietzsche, Jaspers, or Heidegger); but when it comes to politics, she saved but a few: namely, Socrates and Kant.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
