Ovelhas Merinas: malditas feras - O imaginário social no teatro de QorpoSanto
Full text linkEsta dissertação investiga a representação do espaço urbano nas comédias de Qorpo-Santo através da teoria do imaginário social. O autor, que escreveu sua obra no Rio Grande do Sul do século XIX, desenvolveu uma visão singular da sociedade, com a utilização de símbolos que caracterizam o ambiente citadino. Este estudo pretende demonstrar como a representação simbólica presente em sua obra promove rupturas no imaginário da literatura romântica, predominante no gosto da época, instaurando uma nova forma de representação do grupo social. Trata-se de uma discussão interdisciplinar apoiada na Literatura, na História e na Sociologia, e que se insere no contexto dos estudos sobre cultura regional.This research investigates the representation of the urban space in Qorpo-Santo s comedies based on the theory of social imaginary. The author, who wrote his works in Rio Grande do Sul, in the nineteenth century, developed a singular vision of society, using symbols that characterize the environment of the city. This study intends to demonstrate how the symbolic representation found in his works promotes some ruptures inside the imaginary of romantic literature, which was preferred by the taste of the period, and builds up a new way of representing the social group. It s a discussion that involves different subjects, like Literature, History and Sociology, and that s inserted in the context of studies about regional culture
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

Previous issue date: 2012-01-26This thesis aims at investigating, in its first part, how new meanings are produced through the use of Greek myths in the French drama between wars and during World War II, when France was under German occupation. The research focuses on the mythical plays of Jean Giraudoux, Jean Cocteau, Jean Anouilh and Jean-Paul Sartre, in which this dissertation analyzes the tensions between the feeling of absurdity, representative of the time of the two Great Wars and systematized by Albert Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), and the possibilities of Greek mythology to produce new meanings in a society where myths are reframed, other than those conveyed by the ancient literature, especially the Attic tragedy. Another aim is to propose a mythical interpretation, under the same perspective, to the four plays of the Brazilian writer Nelson Rodrigues written between 1945 and 1949. The comparison reveals differences of meaning in the reframed myths. Although they are written in the same period of time, the plays reflect societies with different historical backgrounds. The first chapter of the thesis discusses relevant concepts for analysis, as myth, tragic and absurd, as well as notions derived from the theory of imaginary. The second chapter, reserved to the study of French plays, examines historical and cultural transformations occurred in France in the 1930s and 1940s, and presents the analysis of the plays written by Giraudoux, Cocteau, Anouilh, and Sartre in the same period, with subjects taken from Greek mythology. The third chapter is devoted to Brazilian history and culture in the same decades, with special emphasis on the Brazilian theater of the period, and the role played by Nelson Rodrigues in this cultural context; and, in individual sections, the four mythical plays of this author are analyzed under the perspective of the reframing of Greek myths. Finally, the conclusion provides a comparison between the plays analyzed and the senses conveyed by the French and the Brazilian mythical drama at the same historical moment. This research is based on the theory of imaginary. Its main references are Gilbert Durand and Gaston Bachelard s writings, with the support, in a transdisciplinary perspective, of the researches on mythology done by Mircea Eliade and Joseph Campbell, and sources from historiography, philosophy and theatrical studies.O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de investigar, num primeiro momento, como se produzem novos sentidos atrav?s da utiliza??o dos mitos gregos no drama franc?s da ?poca entreguerras e do per?odo em que a Fran?a esteve sob a Ocupa??o alem? devido aos acontecimentos da Segunda Guerra Mundial.

O objeto de pesquisa são as peças míticas de Jean Giraudoux, Jean Cocteau, Jean Anouilh e Jean-Paul Sartre, nas quais este trabalho analisa as tensões entre o sentimento do absurdo, representativo da época das duas Grandes Guerras e sistematizado por Albert Camus em O mito de Sísifo, de 1942, e as possibilidades de a mitologia grega conferir novos sentidos para a sociedade em que os mitos são ressignificados, diferentes daqueles veiculados pela literatura antiga, especialmente pela tragédia ática. Em seguida, procede-se uma interpretação das quatro peças míticas do escritor brasileiro Nelson Rodrigues, escritas entre 1945 e 1949, a partir das mesmas perspectivas, levando à constatação das diferenças de sentido promovidas pelas ressignificações dos mitos em uma mesma época, em sociedades com experiências históricas diferentes. A tese é iniciada pela discussão de conceitos relevantes para a análise, como mito, trágico e absurdo, além de noções oriundas da teoria do imaginário. O capítulo seguinte, reservado ao estudo das peças francesas, é constituído por algumas páginas introdutórias dedicadas às transformações históricas e culturais da França entre as décadas de 1930 e 1940 e pela análise das peças com temas da mitologia grega escritas por Giraudoux, Cocteau, Anouilh e Sartre no mesmo período. Outro capítulo é destinado à história e à cultura brasileira nos mesmos decênios, com especial ênfase ao teatro brasileiro do período e ao papel desempenhado por Nelson Rodrigues nesse contexto cultural, além de, em seções individuais, analisarem-se as quatro peças míticas do autor sob o viés da ressignificação dos mitos gregos. Ao final, a conclusão estabelece um comparativo entre as peças analisadas e os sentidos veiculados pelo drama mítico francês e pelo brasileiro da mesma época.

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
