David Machado: um passaporte para o sonho
Full text linkMestrado em Línguas, Literaturas e CulturasEsta dissertação tem como principal objetivo uma análise sistemática da obra infanto-juvenil de David Machado, inserida no contexto da literatura portuguesa contemporânea de potencial recetor infantil.
O presente estudo irá contemplar, assim, uma pequena biografia e uma breve contextualização do autor e da obra. Analisar-se-á um corpus composto pelas suas cinco obras escritas para a infância, explorando as diferentes categorias da narrativa, salientando os aspetos oníricos que as percorrem e far-se-á, num segundo momento, uma análise crítica das ilustrações que acompanham cada conto.
A partir da análise desse corpus serão retiradas as conclusões que permitirão identificar o sonho como o tema que percorre toda a obra do escritor, uma esécie de passaporte mágico para ultrpassar os limites da existência e as fronteiras da realidade.
Será ainda possível identificar as características e o estilo do autor que contrói argumentos narrativos que combinam, de forma hábil, o universo realista com o maravilhoso, explorando as vertentes da fantasia e da imaginação.This thesis aims at a systematic analysis of children's literature authored by David Machado, in the context of contemporary Portuguese literature for potential children readers.
This study will thus provide a short biography and a brief background of the author and his work. A corpus made up of his five works written for children will be analysed, exploring the different narrative categories, and emphasizing the dreaming aspects that run through them all. Subsequently, a critical analysis of the illustrations that accompany each tale will also be presented.
After the analysis of this corpus, conclusions will be drawn identifying dreming as the main theme that runs through the entire writer's work, as if it is a magical passport which allows one to go beyond all existence and reality boundaries.
The characteristics and style of the author who builds his narrative arguments so skilfully, combining the realistic with the wonderful universe, and exploring fantasy and imagination facets will also be identified
As "invenções" de David Machado: uma leitura das suas narrativas vocacionadas para a infância
No full textNeste ensaio, revisitam-se quatro narrativas para a infância assinadas por David Machado (Lisboa, 1978). Sublinha-se a originalidade dos seus enredos e do seu discurso, sendo, ainda, proposta uma leitura da composição visual dos quatro volumes.CIEC - Centro de Investigação em Estudos da Criança, IE, UMinho (UI 317 da FCT), Portugalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
