De cómo la globalización dio forma a la sociología mexicana
Get PDFEste trabajo intenta mostrar cómo la sociología mexicana contemporánea ha reproducido de manera institucional las características de la creciente fragmentación observada en la sociedad, producto de los procesos de globalización. Basamos nuestro análisis en un corpus de aproximadamente dos mil artículos publicados en las principales revistas sociológicas de México. Aquí se muestra cómo la sociología cada vez está más diversificada y polarizada. Ilustramos cómo la introducción de la globalización en la sociología está correlacionada con un viraje parcial desde el estudio de los perpetradores de los problemas sociales al de las víctimas. También demostramos cómo la globalización ha ocasionado que los sociólogos dejen de lado las discusiones más normativas acerca de cómo cambia la sociedad.
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
Introduction : Thorstein veblen : héritage et nouvelles perspectives pour les sciences sociales
Get PDFAprès une brève présentation de l’apprivoisement de l’oeuvre de Veblen dans la Francophonie au XXe siècle, nous présentons les diverses contributions de ce numéro spécial d’Interventions Économiques sur l’héritage et l’actualité de l’oeuvre de Veblen.After a brief presentation of the reception of Veblen’s works in the French-speaking world during the XXth century, we introduce the different papers included in this special issue of Interventions Économiques about Veblen’s legacy and relevance
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
La sociologie économique de Thorstein Veblen ; pertinences et impertinences d’une pensée à contre-courant
Get PDFThorstein Veblen a su développer une analyse rigoureuse et originale de la société américaine au début du XXe siècle. L’analyse véblénienne tient son originalité du regard d’étranger que pose l’auteur sur sa société ainsi que sur les sources intellectuelles diverses où il a puisé ses influences. Après avoir présenté en quoi le regard de Veblen sur le capitalisme sauvage diffère radicalement des autres auteurs de son époque, nous identifions les principales sources intellectuelles de sa pensée, soit la philosophie kantienne, le pragmatisme, l’École historique allemande, les théories évolutionnistes et le socialisme. Nous montrons ensuite comment ces influences lui ont permis de développer une théorie de l’évolution des institutions économiques, à bien des égards supérieures aux théories néo-institutionnalistes contemporaines, lui permettant de critiquer radicalement une Amérique dominée des institutions « imbéciles ».Thorstein Veblen managed to develop a meticulous and original analysis of American society in the beginning of the XXth century. The diversity of its intellectual influences and the look on his society from a stranger’s point of view are the basis of Veblen’s originality. After introducing the reasons of Veblen’s outside point of view, we identify the main intellectual sources of his thought: Kantian philosophy, pragmatism, German historical school, evolutionary theory and socialism. Finally, we show how these influences allowed him to develop an evolutionary theory of economic institutions, which remains superior to neo-intitutionalist theory on many points, in order to produce a radical critique of America as it is dominated by imbecile institutions
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
