Interpretações sobre a burguesia no Brasil: as perspectivas de Celso Furtado, Florestan Fernandes, Fernando Henrique Cardoso e Ruy Mauro Marini
Full text link The aim of this article is to reconstruct the thinking of four brazilian authors -Celso Furtado, Florestan Fernandes, Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Ruy Mauro Marini- around the national bourgeoisie. In the first section, I analyze the academic production of each of the authors, and then I perform a comparative analysis in order to expose the implications of their theoretical proposals regarding the national bourgeoisie. Finally, I refer to the contemporary recovery of these lines of research, in order to map out ways of approaching the national bourgeoisie today. O objetivo do presente artigo é reconstruir o pensamento de quatro autores brasileiros -Celso Furtado, Florestan Fernandes, Fernando Henrique Cardoso e Ruy Mauro Marini- em torno à burguesia nacional. Na primeira seção, analiso a produção académica de cada um dos autores, para logo fazer uma análise comparativa com o fim de expor as implicâncias de suas propostas teóricas respeito a burguesia nacional. Por último, faz-se referência à recuperação contemporânea dessas linhas de pesquisa com o propósito de traçar um mapa sobre os tipos de abordagens da burguesia nacional na atualidade.
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
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
The Construction of Socio-Political and Symbolical Marginalization in Brazil:Reflecting the Relation between Socio-Spatial Stigma and Responses to Violence in Rio de Janeiro
Full text linkIn this article I reflect upon the construction of socio-political and symbolical marginalization of the dwellers of the favelas in Rio de Janeiro. I explore the demonization of favelas and the particular labelling of favelas’ youngsters as the usual suspects and the face of fear in the city. I argue that addressing youngsters generically as ‘drug dealers’ follows the systematic historical devaluation and humiliation of the dwellers of the favelas in the public arena. Thereby I want to show the nature of criminalization of poverty in Rio, and its consequences on youngsters’ life experiences in the city. Youngsters from favelas have been transformed into the main target of strategies of social control and spatial enclosure. Such processes unfold in a core period for Brazilian society and involve transformations in Brazilian socio-political and spatial context, where the negative effects of neoliberal agenda challenge the consolidation of democracy and social justice. This article is based on empirical research in Brazilian favelas with youngsters living under a socio-symbolical shadow (Fernandes, 2009, 2013a/b) and involved in drug trafficking (Fernandes and Rodriguez, 2009; Silva et al, 2009). It is also based on extensive reflection on concepts and theories that enable new representations on favelas and by extension, new routes for public policies addressed for marginalised groups
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
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
Armando José Fernandes, Fernando Lopes Graça e Jorge Croner de Vasconcelos
No full textUID/EAT/00472/2013No processo de institucionalização da investigação em música vários são os contributos de intelectuais e entidades que fomentam uma abertura estatal à preocupação com uma política de divulgação da língua e cultura portuguesas, por um lado, e de financiamento à produção científica, por outro. A constituição, em 1929, da Junta de Educação Nacional (JEN), órgão com autonomia administrativa tutelado pelo Ministério da Instrução Pública, vem colmatar estas duas lacunas, ainda que não de forma tão imediata como estava idealizada. Nos anos 1930-1931 começa a criar- se o Serviço de Educação Artística, proposto começar as suas actividades em 1931-1932. A 1 de Abril de 1931 é publicado o decreto que acrescenta esta secção à Junta de Educação Nacional e, mais tarde, com o Estado Novo, inicia-se um processo de financiamento para a abertura de bolsas de longa duração e um maior investimento na área. É no âmbito desta estabilização que Armando José Fernandes, Fernando Lopes Graça e Jorge Croner de Vasconcelos ganharão bolsas de aperfeiçoamento artístico no estrangeiro, em 1934, inaugurando assim o investimento no intercâmbio internacional na área de música. Interessa-nos, para este trabalho, pensar o arranque do financiamento institucional público à investigação em música a partir dos três compositores. A escassez de investigação sobre o tema leva-nos a desenvolver uma investigação que procura pensar este arranque, por um lado, do ponto de vista da Junta sobre a Musicologia como possível área intermediária no seu próprio espaço de acção, e por outro lado, da própria concepção de investigação em música, a partir dos processos dos compositores.publishersversionpublishe
