Fany Mpfumo: migration, discography, and the concept album Nyoxanini
No full textThis paper presents partial results of a systematic survey of the discography of the Mozambican historical musician and composer Fany Mpfumo (1929–1987). Based on the premise that Fany Mpfumo, due to his music and popularity, is an artist widely known in Mozambique, especially among the musical community, the following question arises: in which way did the migrant condition of Fany Mpfumo contribute to the lack of knowledge about his production record within the Mozambican music community? During his musical career, Fany lived in Johannesburg, South Africa, between 1947 and 1973, where he achieved musical success having recorded for EMI-His Master’s Voice. He returned to Mozambique in 1973, and until his death, he recorded for important Mozambican recording companies at the time, such as Vidisco Moçambique, Radio Moçambique and Produções 1001. Drawing on approaches to discography and the concept album by Alessandri (2011), Burns (2016), Shuker (2014) and Ulhôa (2007), I analyse Fany Mpfumo’s discography with special focus on his first compact disc called Nyoxanini. The present work is methodologically based on bibliographical and archival research with a focus on qualitative analysis.publishe
Práticas musicais e a indústria da música em Maputo: o caso da Marrabenta e do Pandza
Get PDFO terceiro caso centra-se em Moçambique e nos processos contemporâneos de recrudescimento do pandza. Herdeiro da marrabenta um género que foi, no passado colonial, um instrumento de resistência política à tentativa de apagamento de práticas musicais tribalistas, o pandza tem vindo a adquirir um papel central na disseminação de músicos moçambicanos no país e no mundo, ambicionando um
lugar nos corredores de um novo império: o da indústria da música.publishe
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
Moçambique em Portugal: estudo etnomusicológico sobre os músicos migrantes
Get PDFO histórico de migrações entre Portugal e Moçambique iniciou no século XVI com a descoberta da costa oriental africana pelos portugueses. Com a Independência de Moçambique em 1975, o fluxo migratório alterou o sentido e a migração passou a ser no sentido de Moçambique para Portugal. Neste novo processo migratório, vários são os músicos moçambicanos que se decidem pela migração para Portugal como forma de desenvolverem a sua actividade musical e encontrarem novas perspectivas pessoais e profissionais. Assim, o objectivo deste trabalho é contribuir para a divulgação da música moçambicana feita por músicos migrantes moçambicanos residentes em Portugal, através da compreensão dos processos de integração artística, estatuto profissional e relação com a música moçambicana. Procuro perceber as motivações que conduziram à migração dos músicos moçambicanos para Portugal, se estes estão organizados em rede e como é que ela contribui para a divulgação da música moçambicana e entender os processos através dos quais a experiência migratória opera transformações na performance destes músicos.The history of migrations between Portugal and Mozambique started in the 16th century with the discovery of the western african coast by the portuguese. With the independence of Mozambique in 1975, the migratory flow changed its direction and migration began to move from Mozambique to Portugal. In this new migratory process, several Mozambican musicians decide to migrate to Portugal as a way to develop their musical activity and find new personal and professional perspectives. Thus, the objective of this work is to contribute to the dissemination of Mozambican music made by Mozambican migrant musicians residing in Portugal, through the understanding of the processes of artistic integration, professional status and relationship with Mozambican music. I try to understand the motivations that led to the migration of Mozambican musicians to Portugal, if they are organized in a network and how this network contributes to the dissemination of Mozambican music and understood the processes through which the migratory experience operates transformations in the performance of these musicians;Mestrado em Músic
FANY MPFUMO: migração, discografia e o álbum conceptual Nyoxanini
No full textThe objective of this work is to present the partial results of the systematic survey of the discography of the Mozambican musician and composer Fany Mpfumo (1929 - 1987). Starting from the following discussion: It is possible to affirm that the migrant experience of the musician Fany Mpfumo contributed to the lack of knowledge of your musical discography at national and international level? Fany, during his musical career, lived in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa between 1947 and 1973, where he achieved musical success having recorded for EMI-His Master Voice. He returned to Mozambique in 1973 and until the date of his death he recorded for the main Mozambican record labels of the time, namely, Vidisco Mozambique, Radio Mozambique and Produções 1001. The record labels Vidisco Mozambique and Radio Mozambique launched, posthumously, in the 1999 Fany Mpfumo's first compact disc, Nyoxanini. Drawing on the approaches of Alessandri (2011), Burns (2016) Shuker (2014) and Ulhôa (2007) on discography and conceptual album, I analyse the discography and conceptual album Nyoxanini by Fany Mpfumo. The present work is methodologically guided by bibliographic and documentary research with a focus on qualitative analysis.Neste trabalho são apresentados os resultados parciais do levantamento sistemático da discografia do histórico músico e compositor moçambicano Fany Mpfumo (1929 – 1987). Partindo da premissa que Fany Mpfumo, pela sua música e popularidade é um artista largamente conhecido em Moçambique, muito especialmente junto da comunidade musical, estabelece-se a seguinte questão: de que modo a condição migrante de Fany Mpfumo contribuiu para o desconhecimento da sua produção discográfica no seio da comunidade musical moçambicana? Fany, durante a sua carreira musical residiu na cidade de Joanesburgo, África do Sul entre 1947 e 1973, onde atingiu o sucesso musical tendo gravado para a EMI-His Master Voice. Regressou a Moçambique em 1973 e até a data da sua morte gravou para as principais gravadoras moçambicanas da época, a Vidisco Moçambique, a Radio Moçambique e a Produções 1001. As gravadoras Vidisco Moçambique e a Rádio Moçambique lançaram, a título póstumo, no ano de 1999 o primeiro disco compacto de Fany Mpfumo, Nyoxanini. Apoiando-me das abordagens sobre discografia e álbum conceitual de Alessandri (2011), Burns (2016) Shuker (2014) e Ulhôa (2007) analiso a discografia e o álbum conceitual Nyoxanini de Fany Mpfumo. O presente trabalho pauta metodologicamente pela pesquisa bibliográfica e documental com enfoque em análise qualitativa
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
