Cyborg humanism. In favor of new humanities beyond disciplinary limits
No full textEn este artículo se presenta, en forma de manifiesto, una propuesta a favor de una superación de las escisiones disciplinarias en las humanidades y contra la extendida idea de la doble cultura científico-humanista. Desde una perspectiva antropológica, se considera la condición humana como una existencia ciborg que está más allá de lo natural y lo artificial. Esta perspectiva nos conduce a una reivindicación de una nueva forma de humanismo,basado en la experiencia como principal logro humanoCómo citar este artículo:Broncano, Fernando, “Humanismo ciborg.

From an anthropological perspective, the human condition is considered as a cyborg existence beyond the natural and the artificial. This perspective leads us to reconsider a new form of humanism, based on experience as the principal human achievementHow to reference this article: Broncano, Fernando, “Humanismo ciborg.

Trust as a Meta-Emotion
No full textThe aim of this article is to present trust as a meta-emotion, such that it is an emotion that precedes first-order emotions. It examines how trust can be considered a meta-emotion by establishing criteria for identifying trust as a meta-emotion. How trust plays out differently in aesthetic and ordinary contexts can provide another mode for investigating meta-emotions. The article illustrates how it is possible to recognize these meta-emotions in narratives. Finally, it presents one of the aims of trust, sharing knowledge between agents, when someone who provides testimony shares knowledge in an epistemic trust process with others. It shows a relationship construction between subjects and objects thanks to the trust, a meta-emotion that represents emotional ties between subjects to achieve another emotion.Depto. de Antropología Social y Psicología SocialFac. de Ciencias Políticas y SociologíaTRUEpu
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
El tiempo perdido de/en los archivos
Full text linkThe author analyze the trend, determined by the evolution of contemporary technologies, towards the consolidation of a culture that privileges the novelty and immediacy above the heritage, and that therefore replaces institutions of historical memory, such as archives, libraries and museums, for private practices of mass and compulsive storage centered on trivial or not discerned information. Besides, this paper research the epistemological, ethical and political issues involved in this rise of a technological culture which is compromised with an inmediatist orientation.Se analiza la tendencia, determinada por la evolución de las tecnologías contemporáneas, hacia la consolidación de una cultura que privilegia la novedad y la inmediatez por encima del bagaje patrimonial, y que en consecuencia reemplaza las instituciones de conservación de la memoria histórica –archivos, bibliotecas, museos- por prácticas privadas de almacenamiento masivo y compulsivo de información trivial o de relevancia no discernida. Asimismo se indagan los desafíos epistemológicos, éticos y políticos implicados por este ascenso de una cultura tecnológica inmediatista

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
