A antiga indústria têxtil algodoeira portuense. O resgate da memória de um património industrial desaparecido
No full textO Património Industrial é hoje uma categoria patrimonial valorizada em muitos âmbitos,
desde o museológico ao turístico, sendo o reuso adaptativo a prática mais recomendada
para a sua salvaguarda, no caso de edifícios fabris desativados. Mas, quando o edifício
produtivo já despareceu, tem sentido resgatar a sua memória? E como fazê-lo para além do
âmbito museológico? Esta tese tem como objeto de estudo a antiga indústria têxtil
algodoeira portuense, representada neste trabalho por sete conjuntos fabris instalados no
Porto entre 1850 e 1907. Esta indústria, pioneira, desenvolveu um papel fundamental no
processo de industrialização da cidade e da região Noroeste do país. Foi nesta região que,
ao longo do século XX, a indústria têxtil urbana se deslocalizou, consolidando o núcleo
preexistente, que evoluiu num importante polo têxtil. Os antigos estabelecimentos fabris
algodoeiros portuenses continuaram em função, empregando milhares de operários; a sua
presença, ao longo de aproximadamente 150 anos, influenciou o crescimento urbano,
configurando uma paisagem industrial que já em 1866 tinha proporcionado ao Porto o
apelativo de “Manchester portuguesa”. Hoje, não há mais vestígios destas fábricas, à
exceção de um conjunto que, reconvertido num centro empresarial, manteve quase
inalteradas as características do antigo estabelecimento fabril. Desativadas a partir da
década de 1950, e sucessivamente demolidas, deixaram espaço para novas urbanizações,
algumas das quais tornaram-se ícones da paisagem do Porto contemporâneo. Canceladas
do espaço da cidade, caíram no esquecimento, vivendo apenas na memória de quem as
vivenciou diretamente ou indiretamente. O objetivo desta tese é reconstruir as suas
histórias, fundamentando-as cientificamente para o seu reconhecimento enquanto
património industrial da cidade, construindo uma entre as tantas narrativas possíveis. Esta e
outras narrativas, que se espera possam surgir em futuro, permitirão divulgar o
conhecimento deste património, até hoje invisível, abrindo uma reflexão sobre possíveis
caminhos para o resgate da sua memória; - The former Porto’s cotton textile industry. Rescuing the memory of a lost industrial
heritage
ABSTRACT:
Industrial heritage is today a valued heritage category in many areas, from museums to
tourism, and adaptive reuse is the recommended practice for its safeguarding, for
deactivated plants. But when the production building have already disappeared, does it
make sense to rescue its memory? And how to do it beyond the museum context? This
thesis has as its object of study the old cotton textile industry in Porto, represented by
seven factory complexes installed between 1850 e 1907. This pioneer industry played a
fundamental role in the industrialization process of the city and of the Northwest
Portuguese region. It was here that, throughout the 20th century, the urban textile industry
relocated, consolidating the pre-existing nucleus that evolved into an important textile hub.
The large cotton manufacturing establishments in Porto continued to evolve, employing
thousands of workers; its presence, over 150 years, influenced urban growth, creating an
industrial landscape that, in 1866, had given Porto the title of “Portuguese Manchester”.
Today, there are no traces of these factories, with the exception of a complex that,
converted into a business centre, has maintained the characteristics of the old factory
complex almost unchanged. Deactivated from the 1950s onwards, and successively
demolished, they left space for new urbanizations, some of which have become icons of
the landscape of contemporary Porto. Cancelled from the city space, they fell into oblivion,
living only in the memory of those who experienced them directly or indirectly. The
objective of this thesis is to reconstruct their stories, scientifically, for their recognition as a
city's industrial heritage, constructing one of the many possible narratives. This and other
narratives, which we hope may emerge in the future, will make possible to disseminate
knowledge of this heritage that, nowadays invisible, opening up a reflection on possible
ways to rescue its memory
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
