El vuelo de la alondra de Mario Bencastro
Full text linkIn addition to his literary inventiveness, the author´s experience as a painter is also combined in this intriguing novel in order to offer the readership a “pictorial fiction” where art and reality converge to shape a hallucinating world.Marc Douanier, an art expert, is sent to San Salvador by a Parisian auctioneer with the purpose of purchasing the work of a local artist that has been internationally qualified as a “master expression of the fantastic realism of the new world” and it´s being sought after by well-known art galleries, museums and private collections that rapidly increase its money value.To accomplish his mission, the art expert has to avoid odd situations like falsified and stolen pieces of art, and the work of secret sects that make his task even more difficult. On top of that, the home country of the artist is undergoing a political and social convulsion that reminds him of the historic French Revolution, which happened to affect deeply his own land centuries ago.Marc Douanier has a special assignment: buying a painting by the Salvadorian artist to be included in the collection of the Louvre Museum, nonetheless, he first has to solve a mystery: why are the paintings blank? where have the characters gone? are they running away from their canvas prison to follow the people who struggle to break free from an oppressive system?Benjamín Cañas´motto “I paint reality the way I imagine it” is painting these pages and his pictorial characters turn to life in the walls of this novel. “Benjamín Cañas was a virtuoso, an unprecedented reflexive painter who left a legacy to the Latin American art and the world.”--Bélgica Rodríguez, Director for the Museo de Arte de las Américas, Washington, D.C., EUA, (1988-1994).En esta intrigante novela el autor combina su experiencia de pintor con su inventiva literaria para ofrecernos una “ficción pictórica”, en que la realidad y el arte convergen formando un mundo alucinante.Un experto en arte, Marc Douanier, es enviado a San Salvador por una subastadora de París para adquirir la obra de un artista local, que la crítica internacional califica como “magistral expresión del realismo fantástico del nuevo mundo” y está siendo solicitada por importantes galerías, museos y colecciones privadas que incrementan rápidamente su valor monetario.Para llevar a cabo su misión el experto debe sortear situaciones extrañas como pinturas robadas y falsificadas, y sectas secretas que dificultan su tarea, encima de que el país del artista se encuentra en una convulsión política y social que le recuerda la histórica revolución francesa que conmocionó a su propia tierra hace siglos.Marc Douanier trae el especial encargo de comprar una pintura del artista salvadoreño para la colección del Museo de Louvre, pero antes debe resolver un misterio: ¿Por qué los cuadros quedan en blanco? ¿Qué sucede con los personajes de las pinturas? ¿Se escapan ellos de su prisión de colores siguiendo al pueblo que lucha por liberarse de un opresivo sistema?El lema de Benjamín Cañas “Pinto la realidad como yo la imagino” colorea estas páginas, y sus personajes pictóricos cobran vida en este mural novelesco. “Benjamín Cañas fue un virtuoso, un pintor inédito, reflexivo, que dejó una herencia al arte latinoamericano y al mundo.” –Bélgica Rodríguez, Directora del Museo de Arte de las Américas, Washington DC, EEUU, (1988-1994)

Odisea del norte por Mario Bencastro – 25 aniversario
Full text linkCuando Odisea del Norte, una novela del escritor Mario Bencastro, se publicó en 1999 en Estados Unidos en inglés y en español por la editorial Arte Público, el editor no imaginaba que el libro tendría un éxito a largo plazo, un long seller, y que 25 años después se continuaría leyendo y usado como texto para la enseñanza del español y de la historia de la emigración centroamericana a los Estados Unidos.Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvado

Full text linkWhen the explorer Juan Ponce de León arrived on this Atlantic coast on April 2, 1513, he did not know that he was taking a historic step of profound linguistic repercussions. Supposedly sought the source of eternal youth, which according to a tahína legend was in these surroundings. On his route he spotted a land he called Florida, due to the flowering vegetation he saw or because it was Easter Florida time.Cuando el explorador Juan Ponce de León arribó a esta costa atlántica el 2 de abril de 1513 ignoraba que estaba dando un paso histórico de profundas repercusiones lingüísticas. Supuestamente buscaba la fuente de la eterna juventud, que según una leyenda tahína se encontraba en estos alrededores. En su ruta divisó una tierra que llamó Florida, debido a la vegetación en flor que vio o porque era tiempo de Pascua Florida

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
