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
Readers, writers and new technologies: Kids, Facebook and Violetta
Get PDFLa relación de los niños y niñas con las nuevas tecnologías es compleja y asume diferentes formas y variantes que se modifican cotidianamente. En este artículo nos proponemos abordar la relación de los niños y niñas con las nuevas tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación a la luz de una dimensión que consideramos central: las interacciones a través de las plataformas y espacios 2.0, dado que la participación en las nuevas plataformas se organiza, en gran medida, a través de intervenciones, de construcciones conversacionales, que ficcionalizan el contacto. Los dispositivos alientan una forma de interacción entre las partes involucradas que desplaza el peso de la conexión hacia la conectividad (Van Dijck, 2013); así, el análisis mostrará que estar conectados no es equivalente a estar comunicados. La observación de los comentarios de los niños y niñas en la página Facebook de la serie televisiva Violetta confirma la hipótesis de una “participación simbólica” (Reich, 2011) o “ficcionalización de la participación” (Duek, 2013), especialmente en los dispositivos que se articulan alrededor de la producción de comentarios. Si el comentario sintetiza el vínculo entre lectores y escritores en las tecnologías participativas (Calabrese, 2016), este no deja de ser por momentos perfectamente monológico.Children are developing a complex relationship with new technologies, which forms and variables are constantly changing. In this paper, we address the relationship between children and new technologies through interactions, given that participation in social media lies to a great extent on a conversational behaviour that fictionalizes communication. Social media encourage a form of participation that focuses on connectivity over connectedness (Van Dijck, 2013); the analysis shows that being connected does not necessarily entail communication. The observation of children’s comments in the Facebook page of the TV series Violetta confirms the hypothesis of the “symbolic participation” (Reich, 2011: 99) or the “fictionalization of participation” (Duek, 2013), especially in those media that are organized around the production of on line comments. If comments synthesize the relationship between the readers and writers in collaborative technologies (Calabrese, 2016), it remains, generally, perfectly monologic.Fil: Calabrese, Laura.

La Argentina agroexportadora : contradicciones de la clase dominante
No full textA fines del siglo XIX se constituye en la Argentina una clase dominante con alcance nacional y relativamente unificada bajo la hegemonía de la fracción terrateniente. Este trabajo se propone identificar los diferentes componentes o fracciones de esta burguesía, y explicar las contradicciones y coincidencias que tienen entre sí desde su conformación hasta la fractura marcada por la crisis del treinta.At the ends of the XIX Century it is constituted in the Argentina a dominant
class with national reach and relatively unified under the hegemony of the fraction
landowner. This work intends to identify the different components or fractions
of this bourgeoisie, and to explain the contradictions and coincidences that have
to each other from its conformation until the fracture marked by the crisis of
the thirty.Fil: Inda, Graciela.

On the historical efficiency of ideas : the protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism
No full textMax Weber desarrolló gran parte de su obra en diálogo con Marx, como lo han insinuado varios autores y lo hemos estudiado detenidamente en otra parte. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar cómo se desarrolla ese “diálogo" (explícito o implícito) con la concepción materialista de la historia -que para Weber es sinónimo de “interpretación económica de la historia"-, en una de las obras más célebres del
pensador alemán: “La ética protestante y el espíritu del capitalismo". A la vez, mediante un repaso de la literatura secundaria, se intenta observar cómo ha sido interpretada esta obra a lo largo de la historia de la teoría sociológica, desde el punto de vista de la tensión materialismo / idealismo.Max Weber developed great part of his work in dialog with Marx, as several authors have insinuated it and we have studied it in another moment. The aim of this work is to determine how this "dialog" (explicit or implicit) develops with the materialistic conception of history - that for Weber is synonymous of " economic interpretation of the history "-, in one of the most famous works of the German thinker: “The Protestant ethics and the spirit of the capitalism". Simultaneously, by means of a revision of secondary literature, we try to observe how this work has been
interpreted along the history of sociological theory, from the point of view of the tension materialism / idealism.Fil: Duek, Celia.
