Vida en los Márgenes: La experiencia corporal como anclaje identitario entre sexoservidores de la ciudad de Xapala, Veracruz. Cuicuilco Revista de la Escuela Nacional de Antropología e Historia: Organización social para el ceremonial. Num. 34 (2005) Vol. 12 mayo-agosto
No full textEn la actualidad, la actividad del comercio sexual masculino está representando una opción laboral para muchos jóvenes en escala mundial. Este artículo ofrece un acercamiento antropológico a algunos aspectos del ejercicio del trabajo sexual y de la conformación de identidades entre sexoservidores de la ciudad de Xalapa, Veracruz, a partir de la visión de los actores involucrados y de los protocolos culturales que sustentan las prácticas homosexuales en relación con el género, el cuerpo, el deseo y la sexualidad.Nowadays, male sex work is becoming an attractive option for young men in both rich and poor countries. This article offers an anthropological approach to male sex work in Xalapa, Veracruz. It discusses self-definition of sex workers and cultural features that support homosexual practices related to gender, the body, desire and sexuality

Universos paralelos: Turismo sexual comercial entre hombres en el Puerto de Veracruz, México
No full textParallel Universes: Commercial Male Sex Tourism in the Port of Veracurz, Mexico. This text analyses the interactions between tourism and commercial male sex in the port of Veracruz, México, from an anthropological perspective. The aim is to explain the identity continuities and transformations experienced by sex workers who engage in tourism-related practices. Based on the geographical segregation between the "historic" and "modern" areas of the city, the author differentiates between traditional "mayate" heteronormative identities, based on sexual practices, from "modern" gay identities, defined by the sexual object of desire. While sex workers of the first kind concentrate in the parks and streets of the central district, escorts, dancers and callboys work in nightclubs and massage/escort parlors at the modern establishments in the new developments of the Boca del Río district.Este trabajo analiza la relación entre el turismo y el comercio sexual masculino dirigido a hombres en el puerto de Veracruz, México. Empleando una perspectiva antropológica, intenta destacar el papel del turismo como potenciador de diferencias en identidades y prácticas que exhiben dos grupos de trabajadores sexuales: a) los sexoservidores callejeros--llamados localmente "mayates"-- los cuales laboran en la zona central de la ciudad, se asumen como heterosexuales y privilegian prácticas "activas", y b) acompañantes y bailarines que trabajan en centros nocturnos o casas de masajes en el área de Boca del Río, quienes se articulan en torno a identidades gay "modernas" y reivindican objetos de deseo
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
