    Building communities

    No full text
    the evidence that life is not a solipsistic event, since it is always intimately con-nected to the life of others, constitutes a phenomenological fact; to live for hu-man beings is always to live-with, because no one can fully exist by him/herself. If we consider beings from the point of view of psychic development, it can be proved, that the relationship with the other is a primary condition of being. At the outset, there is the relationship with the mother, where the child does not ex-ist as a discrete human being, but in a primary identification with the mother. The relationship with the other that welcomes me, is therefore the matrix pattern of the human being; A decisive quality for political action is therefore nurturing a spirit of community, which is the opposite of the desire to assert oneself, since it relies upon a relational vision of existence. A sense of community is not the simple pleasure of being with others. It is motivated by the desire to do good and to promote a good quality of life. Therefore, the art of politics demonstrates an at-titude that Aristotle attributes to all human activity, since thinking, delivering speeches and undertaking action should be understood as looking for eudaimo-nia, that is to say “living and doing well”

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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
