«Per arrivare a Esteban Montejo. I cammini del Cimarrόn»
No full textMiguel Barnet's unpublished text reflects on the path that led him to write Cimarron. Of particular interest in the text is the author's reflection on the quality of the ethnographic practice carried out ‘with’ the fugitive slave Esteban Montejo. This relation of mutual encounter between the anthropologist and Cimarron is emphasised as a ‘rapport’ that provides insight into deep changes in Cuban societ
«La calvizie la portarono a Cuba gli spagnoli o della pratica di cittadinanza del cimarronaje»
No full textThe postface reflects on the history of Cuban slavery by focusing on the practices of resistance, creativity, and of interdependence between man and nature narrated by the fugitive slave Esteban Montejo. The reflection focuses on the value attributed to the cimarronaje in the system of forces of the Cuban colony and its meanings as a practice of citizenship in opposition to the state of exception established in the space of the plantation. A fundamental part of this contribution is the attention brought to a more hidden dimension of Barnet's book that nonetheless constitutes a constant subtext: the knowledge, care practices and sexual practices of enslaved women, which testify to an integral and creative way of life, beyond domination
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
Mulier ludens. Bellezza e immagini della mulatta cubana
No full textThis study of the aesthetics of the mulatez focuses on reifying sexualising representations, pervasive visual registers and the perspectives of women who call themselves mulata. The narrative reiterated of the appeal of the sensual Cuban mulata, dangerous because she is 'almost white', is explored as an antiphon with contradictory functions: on the one hand, being a warning against attempts to racially contaminate the dominant order of blancura and masculinity; on the other hand, being a metaphor for the possibility of the rupture of this same order and of a liberal ethos, claiming new forms of citizenship within colonial society.
The author concentrates on the habitus of an ostentatious vanity: a tactic of making oneself visible in order to guarantee one's existence in the slave system of forces through the irruption of beauty. Mulier ludens, the mulata must negotiate her own subjectivity with the oppressive weight of a visuality that fixes her as available and passive: woman of sugar, made from the cane cultivated by her black slave ancestors, sweet, to be eaten. What do women describing themselves as mulatas make of this bitter history? How is beauty being 'made' in Havana today? Narratives of menear - the body technique of hips -, of the aesthetic practices of caring for the frizzy hair disparagingly called 'pasa' and of the quality of 'sandunga' reveal beauty as a doing rather than a being; a performative style critical of the tragic and passive representational tradition of the mulata built into the colony's system of forces
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
