Si estas paredes hablasen. El Instituto Internacional y la experiencia espacial del pasado
No full textThis essay explores a course on the history of the building of the International Institute in Spain, located at calle Miguel Ángel, 8 in Madrid. The course, titled, “If these walls could speak: Reading Miguel Ángel, 8” proposed an artistic approach to history wherein space took center stage, through a process that was based, on the one hand, on direct contact with the space and, on the other, on studying old photographs, in combination with primary textual sources. In this way, the goal was to see and bring forth the traces of the past on the surfaces of the present, in order to construct a gaze that could help us locate ourselves in space and time.Este ensayo explora un curso sobre la historia del edificio del Instituto Internacional sito en la calle Miguel Ángel, 8 en Madrid, “If these walls could speak: Reading Miguel Ángel, 8”. El curso proponía un acercamiento artístico a la historia en el que el espacio fuera el protagonista, mediante un proceso basado en, por un lado, el contacto directo con el espacio y, por otro, el estudio de fotografías antiguas, todo ello en combinación con el uso de fuentes primarias textuales. De esta manera, se buscaba ver y poner de relieve las huellas del pasado en las superficies del presente, para construir una mirada que nos ayudara a ubicarnos en el espacio y el tiempo
La Vaguada de Cantarranas: visiones y relatos de un lugar soterrado
No full textTesis inédita de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de Bellas Artes, leída el 16/10/2023Esta tesis estudia la desaparecida Vaguada de Cantarranas, parte de la antigua Finca de la Moncloa y, más tarde, centro verde que dividía en dos la Ciudad Universitaria de Madrid. Al centro de esta topografía accidentada —rellenada y nivelada en los años 1960— discurría un arroyo que regaba una amplia zona verde, hoy perdida, pero que en otros tiempos representó para los madrileños un lugar cercano a la capital a la vez que alejada de su ajetreo, zona de meriendas dominicales, exploraciones de infancia, ensayos de explosivos, encuentros amorosos, suicidios y paseos. En el imaginario se vinculaba con el legado goyesco, a la vez que se consideraba parte del ‘paisaje velazqueño’. En ella se encontraron los vestigios de uno de los primeros asentamientos prehistóricos de Madrid y, durante la Guerra Civil, representó un tramo clave del frente. Desde un acercamiento al saber experiencial del detalle, esta investigación rescata las memorias de este lugar, desde su morfología física y ecología, su presencia en la vida e imaginario de los madrileños desde finales del siglo XIX hasta mediados del XX, las vivencias de distintas personas que se vinculaban con ella, y las corrientes artísticas, arquitectónicas y políticas que se entremezclan con su historia.This dissertation studies Madrid’s lost Vaguada de Cantarranas, part of the Finca de la Moncloa and, subsequently, a green belt dividing the Ciudad Universitaria or “University City” in two. "rough the center of this varied topography, which was filled in and flattened in the 1960s, there followed a creek that provided water for a broad green space that today has been lost, but which in other times provided Madrid’s inhabitants with a place that was at once near the capital but protected from its hustle and bustle, used for Sunday picnics, childhood explorations, clandestine bomb testing, romantic encounters, suicides and leisurely walks. In the local imagination, it conjured both the universe of Goya and the landscape of Velázquez. It was also the site of one of the earliest known prehistoric settlements in Madrid, and, during the Civil War, a key section of the battlefront passed through it. Following an approach based on the experiential knowledge inherent in detail, this dissertation explores aspects such as the Vaguada’s physical morphology and ecology, its presence in the life and imaginary of the inhabitants of Madrid from the late 19th to mid 20th centuries, the stories of various people whose paths became entwined with the area, and the artistic, architecture and political currents that have intersected with its history.Fac. de Bellas ArtesTRUEunpu
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
