    El idioma del mundo. Sobre David Lorente Fernández, El cuerpo, el alma, la palabra. Medicina nahua en la Sierra de Texcoco

    This review by Pedro Pitarch discusses David Lorente Fernández’s book on Nahua medicine in the Sierra de Texcoco. Drawing from an ethnographic perspective, the author explores how illness and healing serve as a language to understand social, political, and spiritual relationships in peri-urban Indigenous communities. The review emphasizes the book’s innovative focus on domestic and maternal medicine, and the interplay between traditional knowledge and biomedicine, highlighting the persistence of an Indigenous cosmopolitics that interprets the world through the body and illnessEsta reseña, escrita por Pedro Pitarch, analiza el libro de David Lorente Fernández sobre la medicina nahua en la Sierra de Texcoco. A partir de una perspectiva etnográfica, el autor examina cómo las enfermedades y sus tratamientos constituyen un lenguaje para comprender las relaciones sociales, políticas y espirituales en comunidades indígenas periurbanas. La reseña destaca la originalidad del enfoque en la medicina doméstica femenina y la interacción entre saberes tradicionales y biomedicina, subrayando la persistencia de una cosmopolítica indígena que interpreta el mundo a través del cuerpo y la enfermedadInstituto de Investigaciones Históricas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Méxic

    This review discusses the volume Etnografía y trabajo de campo, coordinated by David Lorente Fernández, which brings together contributions from leading anthropologists addressing the epistemological, methodological, and ethical foundations of contemporary ethnographic research. The book, the result of nearly a decade of collective reflection, explores the decolonization of knowledge, the role of reflexivity, tensions between theory and practice, and the importance of the emic perspective in knowledge construction. Through case studies in Mesoamerican and Andean contexts, it advocates for a critical, situated, sensory, and engaged ethnography that challenges grand narratives and traditional disciplinary categoriesEsta reseña analiza el volumen Etnografía y trabajo de campo, coordinado por David Lorente Fernández, que reúne contribuciones de reconocidos antropólogos en torno a los fundamentos epistemológicos, metodológicos y éticos de la investigación etnográfica contemporánea. El libro, fruto de casi una década de reflexión colectiva, aborda la descolonización del conocimiento, el papel de la reflexividad, las tensiones entre teoría y práctica, y la importancia del punto de vista emic en la construcción del saber. A través de estudios de caso en contextos mesoamericanos y andinos, se propone una etnografía crítica, situada, sensorial y comprometida, que cuestiona las grandes narrativas y las categorías tradicionales de la disciplinaUniversidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    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
