    Trabajo de Fin de Grado curso 2022/23[ES] Las fiestas de Moros y Cristianos son eventos tradicionales arraigados en la cultura hispana, que tienen como objetivo conmemorar y recrear episodios históricos relacionados con la Reconquista española. El objetivo general del presente trabajo es analizar los juicios y procesos de negociación en una discusión grupal sobre un tema polémico en la memoria histórica nacional, como es la celebración anual de la fiesta de Moros y Cristianos. Para fundamentar teóricamente este trabajo, se han utilizado estudios tanto clásicos como contemporáneos sobre la memoria colectiva y la psicología cultural. El análisis de esta celebración se centra en cómo se construye y consume la memoria colectiva, así como en las representaciones históricas y la formación de identidades nacionales. Los datos son obtenidos a través de un grupo de discusión formado por sujetos mayores de 55 años pertenecientes al Programa Interuniversitario de la Experiencia, y son analizados mediante un análisis crítico del discurso. El análisis reveló que las narrativas históricas influyen en la representación de las identidades en estas festividades. Es esencial reflexionar sobre el uso de terminología y representaciones, evitando estereotipos y fomentando un lenguaje inclusivo. Las opiniones divergentes y la disposición a cuestionar las representaciones tradicionales demostraron que las narrativas no son estáticas, y que la memoria colectiva se forma a través de representaciones compartidas transmitidas por narrativas y símbolos culturales. [EN] The Moors and Christians festivals are traditional events deeply rooted in Hispanic culture, aiming to commemorate and recreate historical episodes related to the Spanish Reconquista. The general objective of this study is to analyse judgments and negotiation processes in a group discussion about a controversial topic in national historical memory, such as the annual celebration of the Moors and Christians festival. This work's theoretical foundations draw upon classical and contemporary studies on collective memory and cultural psychology. The analysis of this celebration focuses on how collective memory is constructed and consumed, as well as on historical representations and the formation of national identities. Data is gathered through a focus group composed of individuals over 55 years old, who are part of the Interuniversity Program of Experience, and it is analysed through critical discourse analysis. The analysis revealed that historical narratives influence the representation of identities in these festivities. It is essential to reflect on the use of terminology and representations, avoid stereotypes and promote inclusive language. Divergent opinions and a willingness to question traditional representations demonstrated that narratives are not static, and collective memory is formed through shared representations transmitted by narratives and cultural symbols

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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
