Extremidades em rede: a conexão e a formação de comunidades em ambiente digital
Get PDFThis research aims to know the languages of the social network platform Instagram that,
we believe, can distinguish it from other communication media. The investigation is anchored
in the hypotheses that the platform's features can contribute to Instagram's creates it’s own
language; and that it’s own users also collaborate in the language formation process, based on
their appropriations and uses of the platform. The investigation is based on the hypothesis that
the platform's features can contribute to the formation of Instagram's own language; and that its
own users also collaborate in the language formation process, based on their appropriations and
uses of the platform. We started our theoretical path with the understanding of the media context
in which the research is inserted, anchored in an ecological approach to the media in which
human and non-human elements inhabit this environment and, thus, collaborate with each other.
In a second moment, we delve deeper into the investigation of Instagram, considering its own
socio-technical structure as a possible stimulus to the process of language formation; and we
assess how remediation and radical mediation may be related, too, to such process. In sequence,
we turn our gaze to the Instagram user himself, seeking to identify the languages mobilized by
them. We took as object the profile @bonitadepele, described as a vehicle of beauty and selftitled a virtual community. In order to know the communicational dynamics of the profile and
understand how Bonita de Pele appropriates Instagram, we make a case study and resort to the
approach of the extremities (abordagem das extremidades), which suggests a reading bias that
allows us to take a critical look at the profile and, consequently, from the platform itself. Thus,
we seek to identify the movements of deconstruction, contamination and sharing that, we
believe, may be related to the formative processes of languages on Instagram. At the end of our
investigation, we concluded that the hypotheses can’t be standed. Instagram can be understood
as a radically mediated medium, which radically remediates and mediates the properties of its
competitors. And users, in turn, make use of these features to produce their content, which is
also based on the features and possibilities that the platform offers. Thus, there is no singular
language, specific to Instagram There is, therefore, no specific language, specific to Instagram.
On the other hand, we did identify singularities in the platform: its radically remedied
languages, which enable the formation of virtual communities. These communities can also be
understood as emerging elements of Instagram, where there is a stimulus for connection through
the production of content and exchange of messages using such radically remedied languages.
Finally, we conclude: the specific emerging element of Instagram is not the languages, but the
resignification and reconfiguration of languages in virtual communities, which leads to
connection.Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo conhecer as linguagens presentes na plataforma de
sociabilidade Instagram que, acreditamos, podem distingui-lo dos demais meios
comunicacionais. A investigação se ancora nas hipóteses de que as funcionalidades da
plataforma podem contribuir para a formação de uma linguagem própria do Instagram; e que
seus próprios usuários também colaboram no processo de formação de linguagens, a partir de
suas apropriações e usos da plataforma. Iniciamos nosso caminho teórico com a compreensão
do contexto midiático no qual a pesquisa está inserida, ancoradas em uma abordagem ecológica
das mídias em que elementos humanos e não-humanos habitam esse ambiente e, assim,
colaboram entre si. Em um segundo momento, nos aprofundamos na investigação sobre o
Instagram, considerando sua própria estrutura sociotécnica como um possível estímulo ao
processo de formação de linguagens; e avaliamos como a remediação e a mediação radical
podem estar relacionadas, também, a tal processo de formação de linguagens. Em sequência,
voltamos nosso olhar ao próprio usuário do Instagram, buscando identificar as linguagens
mobilizadas por eles. Tomamos como objeto o perfil @bonitadepele, descrito como veículo de
beleza e autointitulado uma comunidade virtual. Para conhecer as dinâmicas comunicacionais
do perfil e entendermos de que modo a Bonita de Pele se apropria do Instagram, fazemos um
estudo de caso e recorremos à abordagem das extremidades, que sugere um viés de leitura que
nos possibilita um olhar crítico do perfil e, consequentemente, da própria plataforma. Assim,
buscamos identificar os movimentos de desconstrução, contaminação e compartilhamento que,
acreditamos, podem estar relacionados aos processos formativos de linguagens no Instagram.
Ao final de nossa investigação, concluímos que as hipóteses não se sustentam. O Instagram
pode ser entendido como um meio radicalmente mediado, que remedia e media radicalmente
as propriedades de seus concorrentes. E os usuários, por sua vez, se valem dessas características
para produzirem seus conteúdos, que igualmente são baseados nas funcionalidades e
possibilidades que a plataforma oferece. Não há, assim, uma linguagem específica, própria do
Instagram. Por outro lado, identificamos, sim, singularidades na plataforma: suas linguagens
radicalmente remediadas, que possibilitam a formação das comunidades virtuais. Comunidades
estas que podem ser entendidas também como elementos emergentes do Instagram, onde há o
estímulo para conexão através da produção de conteúdo e troca de mensagens utilizando tais
linguagens radicalmente remediadas. Finalmente, concluímos: não são linguagens o elemento
específico emergente do Instagram, mas sim a ressignificação e a reconfiguração de linguagens
em comunidades virtuais, o que leva à conexão.CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superio
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.
