A morte do "anjo do lar" : as vidas (in)visíveis das mulheres ousadas de Martha Batalha
Get PDFOrientador: Prof. Dr. Lúcia Osana Zolin.Dissertação (mestrado em Letras) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá, 2024Mulheres foram por séculos definidas a partir da figura masculina e submissas aos padrões do patriarcado, isoladas dentro de casa ou escravizadas, sendo feitas reféns da ideia de "Anjo do Lar", expressão que ficou conhecida na fala de Virginia Woolf (1931) como um fantasma que impede mulheres de realizarem atividades consideradas como "não femininas" e que as relembra de se colocarem no seu "devido lugar". Segundo a escritora, a única forma de poder se libertar das amarras que esse fantasma traz é matando-o e conquistando à força a paz de espírito necessária para ser dona de si. Assim, a partir desse contexto, a presente pesquisa visa refletir sobre os papéis construídos para as mulheres na literatura brasileira de autoria feminina, bem como sobre as formas como elas reagem face ao desejo de se subjetivarem tendo em vista a opressão a que estiveram expostas ao longo da história. De modo especial, o principal objetivo desse trabalho é analisar as obras da escritora Martha Batalha: A vida invisível de Eurídice Gusmão (2016), Nunca houve um castelo (2018) e Chuva de papel (2023) com foco no modo de representação do sujeito mulher. Considerando que, no âmbito da tradição literária brasileira, às mulheres não foi dada a chance de participarem ativamente da construção da identidade do país, o foco na voz dessas mulheres - autoras e personagens - falando de si, de seu mundo interior, da sociedade em que se encontram inseridas, das intersecções de suas dores advindas de séculos de colonização, das relações de gênero etc., se torna essencial para alargar os horizontes do campo literário, incluindo aí a perspectiva feminina. A hipótese levantada é a de que, nas obras de Martha Batalha, o espaço das mulheres é legitimamente ocupado por elas, no entanto, há que se entender os artifícios literários que permitem que esse fenômeno aconteça. O aporte teórico do trabalho é o feminismo crítico, com enfoque nas reflexões acerca do trabalho doméstico feminino como um trabalho invisível e advindo das amarras capitalistas, embasado por Federici (2017, 2019), Davis (2016) e Fraser (2009). Além destas, também Beauvoir (1967), Tiburi (2018), Bonnici (2019), Spivak (2010) e Muzart (1995, 2008) aparecem para dar aporte teórico nas questões relacionadas aos papéis femininos nas sociedades pós-coloniais e patriarcais, como um todo, e na importância de se ouvir e ler mulheres. No que tange a escrita como resistência e no questionamento de padrões pré-estabelecidos culturalmente, os conceitos de Zolin (2011, 2012, 2021) e Woolf (2013, 2014) são empregados.For centuries, women were defined by male figures and submissive to patriarchy standards, isolated within their houses or enslaved, being held hostage to the idea of the "Angel in the House". This expression became known in Virginia Woolf's words (1931) as a ghost that prevents women from carrying out activities considered "unfeminine" and that reminds them to put themselves in their "proper places". According to the writer, the only way to free oneself from the constraints of this ghost is to kill it and forcibly gain the peace of mind needed to be one's own person. Thus, from this context, this research aims to reflect on the roles constructed for women in Brazilian literature written by women. Furthermore, it also focuses on contemplating how these women act on the desire to subjectivise themselves, given the oppression to which they have been exposed throughout history. In particular, the main aim of this work is to analyse the works of the writer Martha Batalha: A vida invisível de Eurídice Gusmão (2016), Nunca houve um castelo (2018) e Chuva de papel (2023) with a focus on how the female subject is represented. Given that the Brazilian literary tradition has not given women the opportunity to actively participate in the construction of the country's identity, it is essential to focus on the voice of these women - authors and characters - who speak about themselves, their inner world, the society in which they are embedded, the intersections of their pain arising from centuries of colonization, gender relations etc., to broaden the horizons of the literary field, including the female perspective. The hypothesis raised is that, in Martha Batalha's works, female space is legitimately occupied by them, however, it is necessary to understand the literary artifices that allow this phenomenon to happen. The theoretical basis of this work is critical feminism, with a focus on reflections on women's domestic work as invisible labour and as a result of capitalist constraints, based on Federici (2017, 2019), Davis (2016) and Fraser (2009). In addition to these, Beauvoir (1967), Tiburi (2018), Bonnici (2019), Spivak (2010), and Muzart (1995, 2008) also provide theoretical support on issues related to women's roles in post-colonial and patriarchal societies, as a whole, and the importance of listening to and reading women. The concepts of Zolin (2011, 2012, 2021) and Woolf (2013, 2014) are used in relation to writing as resistance and challenging culturally established norms.114 f
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.
