A política como profissão: trajetória de políticos do poder legislativo catarinense
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Psicologia, Florianópolis, 2015.O trabalho se constitui como fenômeno central no processo de viver dos indivíduos, possuindo contornos peculiares à conjuntura contemporânea, caracterizada por muitas mudanças em todo o tecido social e produtivo, inclusive no que concerne à produção das identidades. Nesse contexto, torna-se relevante compreender aspectos psicológicos envolvidos nas escolhas de carreira e na construção das trajetórias profissionais, já que estes são elementos determinantes no processo de constituição identitária dos sujeitos. Tomando por base essas questões e esse contexto, a investigação que originou esta dissertação teve como objetivo caracterizar a trajetória profissional de políticos que exercem mandatos no poder legislativo. O estudo foi desenvolvido por meio de abordagem qualitativa, do tipo multicasos, e os dados foram levantados por meio de uma entrevista semiestruturada junto a oito deputados estaduais que compõem a Assembléia Legislativa do Estado de Santa Catarina, sendo quatro do Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (PMDB) e quatro do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT). Os participantes tinham idades situadas entre 42 e 72 anos, sendo que apenas um deles era do gênero feminino. O processo de análise dos dados foi feito por meio de análise de conteúdo, a partir de transcrições literais das entrevistas realizadas. Desse processo de análise resultou uma sistematização do perfil sociodemográfico dos sujeitos, bem como de seus respectivos percursos na carreira política. A análise efetuada junto aos dados possibilitou ainda a identificação de três categorias: recrutamento político, carreira política e identidade profissional, cada qual com duas subcategorias. A respeito do recrutamento político evidenciou-se que a trajetória profissional desses sujeitos iniciou-se a partir das suas experiências anteriores à carreira política, dentre as quais o envolvimento com a militância estudantil e/ou social, a representação de um determinado setor produtivo ou ainda o elevado poderio econômico. O recrutamento se concretizou por meio da escolha pelo partido, a qual se deu pelos próprios indivíduos, em alguns casos, ou por iniciativa do partido, em outros. A carreira política dos parlamentares se estruturou e vem se consolidando por meio das atividades desenvolvidas em seu cotidiano de trabalho, de acordo com suas ambições e também aquelas dos partidos, sendo que a participação em Comissões Parlamentares de Inquérito (CPIs) e as visitas às bases eleitorais foram destacadas com relevância dentre essas atividades. A influência dos meios de comunicação também foi ressaltada na carreira política, por seu caráter decisivo em conferir visibilidade à imagem do político frente a seus eleitores. A identidade profissional dos entrevistados se encontra consolidada, uma vez que todos já cumpriram diversos mandatos políticos sucessivos, tendo abandonado, na maioria dos casos, sua profissão de origem. Os significados atribuídos ao ser político se relacionam com ideais políticos que defendem e pelos quais avaliam que trabalham. A trajetória profissional desses sujeitos se caracteriza, portanto, pelo exercício da política como profissão e que se confunde com sua própria vida; trata-se de um  caminho sem volta , pois todos estão no mínimo em seu terceiro mandato e pretendem a ascensão nessa carreira. Ser político e estar ocupando um cargo nesse contexto se estabelece, assim, como uma dialética na qual os deputados constroem sua própria epopéia, por meio de seu passado, presente e desejos de futuro.Abstract : This work is a central phenomenon in the process of living of individuals, having peculiar outlines the contemporary situation, characterized by many changes in the entire social and productive fabric, including as regards the production of identities. In this context, it is important to understand psychological aspects involved in career choices and the construction of professional careers, as these are key elements in the identity construction process of the subjects. Based on these issues and that context, the investigation that led to this thesis aimed to characterize the career politicians who hold any office in the legislature. The study was conducted through qualitative approach, the multi-case type, and the data were collected through a semi-structured interviews with eight state deputies that compose the Assembleia Legislativa de Santa Catarina, four of the Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (PMDB) and four of the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT). Participants with 42 and 72 years old, and only one was female. The process of data analysis was done through content analysis, from literal transcriptions of the interviews. From this process of analyzing resulted a systematization sociodemographic characteristics of the subjects, as well as their respective paths in the political career. The analysis carried out with the data also allowed the identification of three categories: political recruitment, political career and professional identity, each with two subcategories. Regarding the political recruitment showed that the career of these subjects began from their experiences prior to the political career, among which the involvement of the student militancy and/or social, the representation of any productive sector or the high economic power. The recruitment was achieved by choosing the party, which is given by individuals themselves, in some cases, or on the initiative of the party on the other. The political career of parliamentarians was built and is being consolidated through activities in their daily work, according to their ambitions and also those of the parties, and participation in Comissões Parlamentares de Inquérito (CPI) and visits to bases election were highlighted with relevance among these activities. The influence of the media was also highlighted in the political career, for his decisiveness in giving visibility to the political front image to their voters. Professional identity of the interviewees is consolidated, since all have served several successive political mandates, having abandoned, in most cases, their original profession. The meanings assigned to to political being relates to political ideals that defend and for which assess working. The career of these subjects is characterized, therefore, by the exercise of politics as a profession and to be confused with his own life; it is a "path of no return" because everyone is at least in his third term and want to rise in this career. Be political and be occupying a position in this context is established, as well as a dialectic in which deputies build their own story, through his past, present and future desires
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
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
