    No full text
    O objetivo desta dissertação é realizar uma análise das representações sobre a Nação e sobre si elaboradas por Capistrano de Abreu em sua produção intelectual entre 1907 e 1927, data de sua morte. Dada a articulação que empreende, por contraste na narrativa histórica entre presente e passado, no livro Capítulos de História Colonial, tenciono analisar, em um primeiro instante, o impasse entre a herança colonial e uma específica ética da conduta - montada no elogio da constância - em um texto elaborado com uma coerência explicativa própria, manifestada na superação do transoceanismo e no povoamento do território. Em um segundo instante, a abordagem se desloca para a análise de sua epistolografia. Assim, as representações antes suscitadas dialogam em um outro terreno; busca-se, agora, compreender como o autor exercita sua "auto- modelagem" enquanto a afirmação, em sua própria escrita de si, dos valores exaltados naquele elogio da postura diferenciada frente à sensação do provisório e do inacabamento da Nação. A ausência de resposta acerca da formação ou dissolução.The aim of this dissertation is examine the representation about the Nation and the self created by Capistrano de Abreu. By the articulation that employ between present and past, by the contrast in the historic narrative in the book Chapters of Colonial History, the intent is examine the impasse between the colonial inheritance and the specific ethics of the behavior - mounted in the compliment of the constancy - in a text elaborated with a proper explicative coherence, revealed in the overcoming of the transoceanismo and the populates of the territory. In as an instant, the boarding if dislocates for the analysis of his correspondence. Thus, the representations before excited dialogue in another terrain, one searches to understand as the author exercises his self-fashioning while the affirmation, in his proper writing of itself, of the values in that compliment of the differentiated position front the sensation of the provisory one and the unaccomplished of the nation. The question about formation and dissolution

    Renovar votos com o futuro: nostalgia e escrita da história

    No full text
    Com este ensaio, viso estudar o conceito de nostalgia em um duplo movimento de entender mudanças na historiografia e de indagar a experiência do tempo atual. Apresento, em um primeiro momento, as abordagens que relacionam a nostalgia ao seu nascimento moderno e sua crítica, à experiência do tempo da modernidade historicista. Em um segundo instante, percebo uma mudança na perspectiva teórica da história que relaciona a nostalgia ao ataque ao realismo histórico por meio da conjunção entre memória e História. Por fim, correlaciono a nostalgia como cena literária com a experiência do tempo atual.</jats:p

    Esse ensaio tenciona analisar romances contemporâneos que lidam com a memória fora do referencial teórico do denominado realismo traumático. Inicio tratando de uma das versões mais destacáveis do trauma dentro da produção contemporânea em artes, a relação entre realismo traumático e arquivo. Depois, lido com o tema da nostalgia em dois romances: o Nostalgia de Mircea Cărtărescu e o The Return de Hisham Matar. Por fim, enfatizo a questão da temporalidade e da relação com a literatura contemporânea.

    Os nomes do nome: o caso da assinatura Alejo Carpentier

    No full text
    Este texto parte do problema do falseamento da assinatura Alejo Carpentier para analisar sua trajetória intelectual e a intenção de controlar lugares de leitura de sua obra. Utiliza-se a troca epistolar com Roberto González Echevarría como um momento privilegiado desse controle por meio de sua escrita de si e da assinatura Alejo Carpentier. Ao fim, utiliza-se do tema da dupla assinatura com o fito de ponderar acerca das relações entre memória, escrita de si e engajamento político

    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

    Grasping the scale of events: Voices from Chernobyl between the historical and the monumental

    Get PDF
    The paper discusses the significance new forms of literary narration can have on the representation of groundbreaking historical events. Based initially on Hayden White’s work and his term modernist event, we argue that new kinds of events need new ways of writing history. However, neither has White given any concrete persuasive examples of how his paradigmatic historical work might look like nor have his critics given enough attention to his considerations on the matter. By focusing our analysis on Svetlana Alexievich’s literary work and specifically on her book Voices from Chernobyl, we try to achieve exactly this: to analyze the innovative literary features that Alexievich develops in the testimonial narratives she builds and to highlight the importance they have for representing the past. For this purpose, we take a closer look at the thematic connection of the testimonies and the sense of non-linearity they create; comment on her success to approach in this way the ‘unseen event’ and bring the reader closer to the horrific and confusing reality that the witnesses describe; and show how literary techniques like the use of parataxis can efficiently grasp and mediate the differences in the temporal scale of hard-to-comprehend historical events and their consequences. Especially examining how Alexievich deals with this temporal particularity in her narrative, the paper suggests new ways to deal with the complex temporalities and discontinuities that go beyond modern historical thinking
