DEBATENDO A TERRA NA ÁFRICA: UMA ANÁLISE DOS IMPACTOS DO COLONIALISMO E NEOLIBERALISMO NA TRANSIÇÃO AGRÁRIA DE GUINÉ-BISSAU
Get PDFThe present article presents and problematizes the agrarian question in the African continent in general - correlated with the specific experience of Guinea-Bissau from the neoliberal period. An attempt was made to present a historical radiography that marked the land debate on the continent and continues today, mobilizing several authors from different regions of Africa and confronting them with the cabralist perspectives (Amílcar Cabral) on how agriculture and industry should stimulate each other, in balance and harmony, also considering the issue of gender/work, to leverage the African peasantry. Constituting an ongoing research, we mobilized some authors for the debate but without exhausting their thinking. Our analytical stance sought to adopt a more introductory and less complex approach to discussions, incurring all the risks that this methodical strategy presents. However, we hope to have provided the input for understanding the debate on land in Africa.O presente artigo apresenta e problematiza a questão agrária no continente africano em geral – correlacionada com a experiência específica da Guiné-Bissau a partir do período neoliberal. Tentou-se apresentar uma radiografia histórica que marcou o debate fundiário no continente e que segue nos dias de hoje, mobilizando diversos autores de variadas regiões da África e confrontá-los com as perspectivas cabralistas (Amílcar Cabral) sobre como a agricultura e a indústria deveriam estimular-se mutuamente, em equilíbrio e harmonia, considerando também a questão do gênero/trabalho, para o alavancamento do campesinato africano. Constituindo uma pesquisa em andamento, mobilizamos alguns autores para o debate mas sem esgotar o seu pensamento. A nossa postura analítica procurou adotar uma abordagem mais introdutória e menos complexa das discussões, incorrendo todos os riscos que essa estratégia metódica apresenta. Contudo, esperamos ter oferecido os subsídios para o entendimento do debate sobre a terra na África
ENTRE A VONTADE DE CONSERVAR E O DESEJO CONSUMISTA: O ANTROPOCENO NAS ILHAS UROK
No full textO trabalho ora apresentado se propõe a problematizar uma das múltiplas possibilidades que se têm apresentado neste “momento da bifurcação histórica” em relação ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Referimo-nos a crença atual que consiste na promoção de “ações isoladas ou particulares” para atingir um “todo”. Nossa provocação aqui tem um propósito disruptivo, sobretudo dessa ideia de “agir localmente e pensar globalmente” – tão difundido nos lides ambientalistas que, como se vê, reduz a ação ao local. A nossa postura vem reforçar, empiricamente, tomando a sociedade Bijagó de ilhas Urok como exemplo, a crítica do Porto Gonçalves em relação à “ingenuidade” dessa ideia de “ações locais” que acabam por não ganhar a proporção “global” na prática, e tenta dividir a “responsabilidade desse caos ambiental” com os povos “não ocidentais” que pouco têm contribuído para a mudança ambiental em larga escala
The narrative disputes around the images of Emperor Shaka kaSenzangakhona and the Zulus in South Africa
No full textEste trabalho se propõe a problematizar e descortinar os movimentos analítico-historiográficos que acompanham as disputas de narrativas em torno das diferentes imagens do mais conhecido imperador zulu, Shaka kaSenzangakhona. Sabe-se que os discursos sobre o Império Zulu e o legado de Shaka, inicialmente, emergiram dos relatos de viajantes e administradores coloniais, depois, utilizados por historiadores exógenos e brancos que, nas suas formulações centrais, interpretaram a figura de Shaka como um déspota irracional e sedento por sangue. No entanto, por outro lado, o texto problematiza, também, as percepções contemporâneas sobre a figura de Shaka, recuperando a narrativa de como os historiadores e os movimentos sociais e intelectuais políticos da África do Sul passaram a se dedicar à “questão nativa”, descontruindo e reconstruindo os relatos sobre a história do Império zulu.This work proposes to problematize and unveil the analytical-historiographical movements that accompany the narrative disputes around the different images of the best-known Zulu emperor, Shaka kaSenzangakhona. It is known that the discourses about the Zulu empire and Shaka’s legacy, initially, emerged from the accounts of travelers and colonial administrators, later, used by exogenous and white historians who, in their central formulations, interpreted the figure of Shaka as an irrational and bloodthirsty despot. However, on the other hand, the text also problematizes contemporary perceptions about the figure of Shaka, recovering the narrative of how historians and the social movements and political intellectuals in South Africa started to dedicate themselves to the “native question,” deconstructing and reconstructing the accounts of the history of the Zulu empire.Le travail présenté ici propose de problématiser et dévoile les mouvements analytiques-historiographiques qui accompagnent les disputes narratives auteur des différentes images de l\u27empereur zoulou le plus connu, Shaka kaSenzangakhona. On sait que les discours sur l\u27empire zoulou et l\u27héritage de Shaka, initialement, ont émergé des récits de voyageurs et d\u27administrateurs coloniaux, plus tard, utilisés par des historiens exogènes et blancs qui, dans leurss centrales, ont interprété la figure de Shaka comme un despote. irrationnel et sanguinaire. , d\u27autre part, le texte problématique également les perceptions contemporaines de la figure de Shaka, récupérant le récit de la fazon dont les historiens, les mouvements sociaux et les intellectuels politiques en Afrique du Sud Cependant ont commencé à consacrer à la « question indigène », déconstruisant et reconstructisant les récits. de l\u27histoire de l\u27empire zulu
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
