Transvivências nos terreiros : transgeneridades e religiões afro-brasileiras
Full text linkThe present research aimed to address the trajectories of trans* individuals within three Afro-Brazilian religions – Umbanda, Candomblé, and Catimbó/Jurema – from a broad perspective, using multisited ethnography and considering transitions, life histories, and experiences of violence endured by the interlocutors. This study was situated within the field of Empirical Sciences of Religion, in dialogue with Anthropology. The analysis examined the construction of the concept of gender and transgenerity, as well as their problematizations, traversing Afro and Afro-Indigenous religions, with particular attention to the belonging of trans* bodies within Afro-Brazilian ritual practices. The general objective was to analyze the trajectories of transgender individuals within Afro-Brazilian religions and the implications of their transitions in religious contexts. The specific objectives were: to engage in a debate on the construction of the category of gender and its development toward the studies of transgenerity; to analyze the debates on transgenerity and Afro-Brazilian religions in relation to both classical authors and the state of the art; to address religious transphobia within Afro-Brazilian religions, as well as the forms of violence experienced by adherents; and to analyze trajectories and trans-lived experiences in terreiros, as well as the resistances of transgender individuals within religion. The relevance of this research lies in the scarcity of studies addressing transgenerity in Afro-Brazilian religions, particularly within the field of Religious Studies, which, despite engaging with analyses of gender and religion, largely remain within binary and feminist frameworks. Ultimately, the research sought to demonstrate that the inclusion of trans* bodies in ritual practices can occur through Butler’s (2018) concept of bodily performance and the reivindication of space through the simple presence of these bodies, regardless of verbal articulations. In this way, trans-lived experiences in the terreiros represent a silent manifestation of claims for belonging and space, challenging cisnormativity in terreiros and religious transphobia within both religion and ritual, where their bodies and gender identifications must be respected.NenhumaA presente pesquisa visou abordar as trajetórias das pessoas trans* dentro de três religiões afro-brasileiras – Umbanda, Candomblé e Catimbó/Jurema –, em uma perspectiva ampla, a partir da etnografia multisituada, perpassando pelas transições, histórias de vida e violências sofridas pelas/os interlocutoras/es. Tratou-se de um trabalho no âmbito das Ciências Empíricas da Religião, em diálogo com a Antropologia. A análise abordou a construção do conceito de gênero e da transgeneridade, bem como as suas problematizações, transpassando pelas religiões afro e afro-indígenas, principalmente sobre a pertença dos corpos trans* nas ritualísticas afro-brasileiras. Como objetivo geral, foram analisadas as trajetórias das pessoas transgêneras dentro das religiões afro-brasileiras e as respectivas implicações das suas transições dentro do ambiente religioso. Já os objetivos específicos foram: realizar um debate sobre a construção da categoria gênero e a evolução até os estudos da transgeneridade; analisar os debates sobre a transgeneridade e as religiões afro-brasileiras, dentro dos autores considerados clássicos e dentro de um estado da arte; abordar a transfobia religiosa dentro das religiões afro-brasileiras, bem como as violências que as/os adeptas/os sofrem; analisar as trajetórias e transvivências nos terreiros e as resistências das pessoas transgêneras na religião. A relevância da pesquisa se alicerça na escassez de trabalhos debatendo transgeneridade nas religiões afro-brasileiras, principalmente dentro da área de Ciências da Religião, que apesar de ter análises sobre gênero e religião, ainda estão, na grande maioria, dentro de concepções binárias e feministas. Ao final, pretendeu demonstrar que a inserção dos corpos trans* dentro das ritualísticas pode ocorrer a partir do conceito de Butler (2018) de performance corpórea e a reinvindicação do espaço pela simples presença dos corpos, independentemente de verbalizações. Assim, as transvivências nos terreiros são uma manifestação silenciosa de reivindicações de pertença e espaço, combatendo as cisnormas nos terreiros e transfobias religiosas dentro da religião e da ritualística, local em que seus corpos devem ser respeitados, bem como as suas identificações de gênero
Dar “close” nas romarias: percursos de vidas transexuais e travestis nas peregrinações e devoções a Padre Cícero
Full text linkThe first pilgrimages to the village of Joaseiro date from 1889, when there was a displacement
of people from the municipality of Crato to the village, after the disclosure of the miracle of the
hóstia that involved Father Cicero and Beata Maria de Araújo. This fact fomented devotional
practices within popular Catholicism, which at the time was opposed by the Romanization
movement of Catholicism, with changes in this scenario after the Second Vatican Council. The
priest's charism with the sertanejos, together with the hierophanies resulting from the bloody
handkerchiefs of the blessed, gave motivation to a flow of constant displacements of subjects
who sought and seek in the city of Juazeiro the sacred, considering it the "new Jerusalem", a
land of conversion and penance. The history of Juazeiro, as well as that of the pilgrimages, runs
through a process of invisibilization of gender, initially with the Beata Maria de Araújo, and
nowadays, with the transgender population in their devotional practices. This research seeks to
understand the insertion of transgender subjects in popular Catholic practices, especially in
Padre Cícero pilgrimages, based on the stories of the lives of these individuals, using the
ethnographic perspective, which allows a greater insertion in the field for understand the flow
of pilgrimages. The category of pilgrim is fluid and in constant construction from the realities
of the subjects that compose it. In this panorama, the transgender population reaffirms popular
practices, especially through the insertion of their bodies in the pilgrimages, trying to
experience a Catholicism in the measure that is allowed.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESAs primeiras romarias ao povoamento de Joaseiro datam de 1889, quando houve um
deslocamento de pessoas do município do Crato para o povoado, após a divulgação do milagre
da hóstia que envolvia o padre Cícero e a Beata Maria de Araújo. Esse fato fomentou as práticas
devocionais, dentro do catolicismo popular, que na época era combatido pelo movimento de
romanização do catolicismo, havendo mudanças nesse panorama após o Concílio Vaticano II.
O carisma do padre com os sertanejos em conjunto com as hierofanias decorrentes dos lenços
ensanguentados da beata, deram motivação para um fluxo de deslocamentos constantes de
sujeitos que buscavam e buscam na cidade de Juazeiro o sagrado, considerando-a a “nova
Jerusalém”, uma terra de conversão e penitência. A história de Juazeiro, bem como a das
próprias romarias, perpassa por um processo de invisibilização de gênero, inicialmente com a
beata Maria de Araújo, e na atualidade, com a população transgênera nas suas práticas
devocionais. A presente pesquisa busca compreender a inserção dos sujeitos transgêneros nas
práticas católicas populares, em especial, nas romarias de padre Cícero, partindo dos relatos das
histórias de vidas desses indivíduos, utilizando para tal, a perspectiva etnográfica, que permite
uma maior inserção no campo para compreender o fluxo das romarias. A categoria de romeiro
é fluida e em constante construção a partir das realidades dos sujeitos que a compõem. Nesse
panorama, a população transgênera ressignifica as práticas populares, em especial, através da
inserção dos seus corpos nas romarias, tentando vivenciar um catolicismo na medida que é
permitido
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
O CORPO QUESTIONADO: CONSIDERAÇÕES ACERCA DA PARTICIPAÇÃO DE TRANSGÊNERAS/OS NAS RELIGIÕES AFRO-BRASILEIRAS
Full text linkDentre os estudos de gênero e sexualidade já são consolidadas as distinções e autonomias entre o sexo biológico, as sexualidades e as expressões de gênero, todavia, no meio popular existem distorções acerca da temática. No âmbito das religiões afro-brasileiras verifica-se, em alguns casos, a corelação entre sexo biológico e a participação na ritualística afro, bem como a não distinção entre gênero e sexualidade. Dessa forma, a população transgênera pode sofrer exclusões em algumas casas/terreiros por não terem reconhecidas as suas expressões de gênero, sendo considerado somente o sexo biológico. Ou seja, mesmo reivindicando o gênero feminino, as mulheres transgêneras não podem exercer papeis/cargos destinados às mulheres ditas cisgêneras. Não existe uma compreensão uníssona sobre a participação da população transgênera nas religiões afro mas, em determinados casos, verifica-se um processo de exclusão e invisibilidade dessas pessoas. Assim, necessário se faz o debate dessa temática para compreender o processo de inclusão/exclusão dessa população na religião
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
