Notice of some bones which appear to have belonged to the Dodo, a species of bird extinct within the last two centuries: read at the Academy of Sciences,12th July 1830, by Baron Cuvier
No full textThis paper (from the Edinburgh Journal of Natural and Geographical Science) reports Baron Cuvier’s announcement to the Academy of Sciences regarding the discovery of several fossilised bird bones from the Isle of France (Mauritius), believed to belong to the extinct Dodo (Didus ineptus). The remains—including a cranium, sternum, and several limb bones—were sent to Cuvier by M. Julien Desjardins and found beneath beds of lava alongside tortoise fossils. Cuvier compared these remains to previously known Dodo specimens (skins and skeletal fragments held in the British and Ashmolean Museums) and concluded that their structural features—particularly the sternum with its prominent crest and the form of the cranium and tarsus—indicate close affinity with the Gallinæ (fowl-like birds).
During the ensuing discussion, M. de Blainville disputed Cuvier’s classification, proposing that the Dodo was more closely related to vultures or palmipeds (penguin-like birds), while M. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire suggested it might represent a transitional form linking the Gallinæ and vultures. Cuvier maintained that the Dodo was flightless but heavily muscled, consistent with historical accounts. The paper thus provides one of the earliest anatomical analyses supporting the Dodo’s place among large, terrestrial, flightless birds

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

Get PDFVariations 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
