    El desastre y el resto. Testimonio y orden reproductivo en Señor del vértigo, de David Preiss

    Full text link
    This study examines the Chilean poet David Preiss’ first book, entitled Señor del vertigo (Lord of Dizziness; Santiago, 1973), in order to present the ways in which subjectivity is constituted, arising from the possibility of witnessing the disaster that Shoah means for the Jewish people, and in what discursive ways the possibilities of meaning and representation of “the poetic” and “the human” in this context articulate. It also explains how the subject takes over the divine/paternal command presiding personal and collective memory, as well as the incidences of negativity and individuation that produce particular forms of leakage from these requirements. At the same time, this paper attempts to draw a parallel between the forms that masculinity acquires facing the paternal constitutive mandate of the carnal, linguistic and symbolic reproduction. Este trabajo pretende dar cuenta de qué maneras en el primer libro del poeta chileno David Preiss (Santiago, 1973), titulado Señor del vértigo, la subjetividad se constituye a partir de la posibilidad de testimoniar el desastre que significa la Shoá para el pueblo judío, y de qué modos se articulan discursivamente las posibilidades de sentido y representación de “lo poético” y “lo humano” en este contexto, haciéndose cargo el sujeto del mandato divino/paterno que preside esta memoria personal y colectiva, al mismo tiempo que las incidencias de la negatividad y la individuación que elaboran formas particulares de fuga a partir de estos requerimientos. Al mismo tiempo, este trabajo intenta establecer un paralelo con las formas que adquiere la masculinidad ante el mandato paterno constitutivo de la reproducción carnal, lingüística y simbólica

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    "Nuestro lugar en el mundo está fuera del mundo pero cerca de ti". Una aproximación a Bocado, de David Preiss

    No full text
    Resulta clave en Bocado, el más reciente poemario de David Preiss, el verso que reza"la muerte prepara a la muerte" (Preiss 11). Se trata de una aporía que esconde, pese a suapariencia circular, cerrada, un desarrollo en el pensamiento y un desplazamiento que no seve aplazado, paradoja que los textos del libro articulan en múltiples instancias, encarnadaen diversas formas, y que subyace a la totalidad del conjunto. En el imaginario de Preiss,la muerte, el fin de la vida, se reproduce, persiste más allá de toda constatación, ya nosolo en el sentido en que, en el contexto de la Shoá, la memoria y el orden simbólico yreproductivo son experimentados como un abuso, una asfixiante imposición divina para elsujeto testigo -como intenté observar en un trabajo anterior (Bello 2012) sobre Señor delvértigo, el primer libro del autor (Preiss 1992, 1994 )-, sino en un sentido anterior, quepuede llegar a resignificar, desde aquí, aunque sea parcialmente, las contradicciones dela subjetividad y la masculinidad enfrentadas al mandato del testimonio. La persistenciade la muerte trata aquí de la condición inseparable de vida y muerte, dos fuerzas queen el inconsciente de la escritura aparecen complementarias, pero que son leídas comoopuestas por la conciencia objetual y referencial

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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
