Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
DEU NO POST: blogs como nova categoria de webjornalismo: um estudo de caso sobre o Blog do NOBLAT.
No full textBusca-se investigar se o jornalismo de blogs constitui-se como nova categoria para o webjornalismo fazendo-se um estudo de caso sobre o Blog Noblat. Pretende-se descobrir o que o uso dos blogs pode acrescentar de novo à prática cotidiana do jornalismo. Faz-se uma análise textual qualitativa a partir de uma análise documental e de uma entrevista individual aberta e semi-estruturada com o jornalista. Analisa-se como Ricardo Noblat apropria-se profissionalmente do blog, uma nova tecnologia para produção de conteúdos on-line, observando como explora as potencialidades que esta oferece. A partir de uma observação sistematizada, selecionam-se dez aspectos do webjornalismo presentes no blog que são abordados segundo três perspectivas: a) blogs e a relação entre os meios noticiosos; b) blogs e a relação entre jornalismo/blogueiro e os leitores internautas; c) blogs e o 'ser jornalista' ou 'fazer jornalismo'. Como resultado tem-se que os blogs podem se constituir como uma nova categoria de webjornalismo genuinamente surgida a partir da internet: apresentam um novo modelo de organização do conteúdo rompendo com um padrão jornalístico predominante durante décadas nas diversas mídias noticiosas. Possibilitam uma nova relação entre jornalistas e leitores onde o diálogo é mais constante e as trocas entre os interagentes do processo comunicativo são facilitadas, ocorrendo de forma mais ágil. Podem tornar o jornalista mais humilde perante seu público e instigam-no a uma auto-reflexão mais constante devido à maior confrontação com opiniões dos leitores. Conclui-se que os blogs permitem que o jornalista atue com mais autonomia e liberdade frente aos chefes e empresas jornalísticas e que, ao mesmo tempo, assegurem seu status como mediador da realidade perante a sociedade, ainda desempenhando a função de intermediário no processo de apreensão do mundo factual.Dissertação (Mestrado em Comunicação e Novas Tecnologias) - Faculdade de Comunicação Social, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro
The Medellín Cartel and Pablo Escobar in the Maranhão Press (1984 – 1993)
No full textThis monograph analyzes how the Maranhão press (newspapers O Estado do
Maranhão and O Imparcial) approached the formation, performance and dismantling of the
Medellin Cartel in Colombia and the trajectory of its main leader, Pablo Escobar from 1984 to
1993. We assume that The approach in the Brazilian press about the Colombian government's
struggle against the Medellin Cartel and Pablo Escobar contributed to the legitimation of
representations and a social imaginary about Colombia as a place in Latin America dominated
by drug trafficking. For the development of this hypothesis, we try to understand how the
newspapers of great circulation contribute to the consolidation of social imaginary about Latin
America and, particularly, about Colombia in Brazil.Esta monografia analisa como a imprensa maranhense (jornais O Estado do Maranhão
e O Imparcial) abordou a formação, atuação e desmantelamento do Cartel de Medellín na
Colômbia e a trajetória do seu principal líder, Pablo Escobar, entre 1984 a 1993. Partimos da
hipótese de que a abordagem na imprensa brasileira sobre a luta do governo colombiano
contra o Cartel de Medellín e Pablo Escobar contribuiu para a legitimação de representações
de um imaginário social sobre a Colômbia como um local da América Latina dominado pelo
narcotráfico. No desenvolvimento do trabalho, procuramos demonstrar como os jornais de
grande circulação contribuem para a consolidação de imaginários sociais sobre a América
Latina e, particularmente, sobre a Colômbia no Brasil
“For thy kingdom is past not away, / Nor thy power from the place thereof hurled”: Martianus Capella and a Prophylactic Oracle of Apollo
No full textThe chapter provides a reconsideration of a section in Martianus Capella’s Book 1, dedicated to the ‘failure of the oracles’ and culminating in a quotation of a prophylactic Apollinean oracle, attributed to Alexander of Abonouteichos. The author tries to reconstruct some possible lines of transmission of this oracle, at the same time highlighting how its allegorical framework helps to shed light on some aspects of the ongoing controversy between pagans and Christians, which took into account the thaumaturgical and therapeutic capabilities of the gods
