Drawing facing calligraphy: surface, subject and Su Shi
No full textThis article explores how the search for an attribution of meaning to the marks on a surface promotes the irruption of language in drawing, and its consequent stiffening. In contrast to western culture, Chinese calligraphy, to which the trace of drawing belongs, unfolds the rhythm contained in its characters and removes the mere search for meaning from the relationship with writing and, in turn, with drawing. The poetry, paintings and calligraphy of Su Shi, master of the Sung dynasty, are presented in dialogue with the contemporary graphic work of Rebeca Font, in order to detach drawing from its ‘skin’. In this way, drawing unfolds in an unthinkable space, alluding to Foucault, and reveals an implicit multiplicity, which contains in itself the human being, and which in constant movement manifests its need of being in heterotopia
The multiplicities of drawing. An investigation through practice
No full textThis thesis approaches the edges of the skin of drawing as the sum of the marks that signify it, revealing its active and constantly transforming nature, and displacing the assumption of the surface as the meeting place and occurrence of drawing.In order to undertake this research, the thesis is developed along three fundamental axes: certain debates that have been sustained in post-structuralist thought; artistic and architectural references relevant to this study; and my personal practice as an artist and architect, carried out in a wide variety of contexts, supports, tools and technologies. To this end, on the one hand, the encounter between calligraphy and drawing is explored, from which arise the concepts of rhythm and the importance of the path of the trace. On the other hand, the limit between writing and drawing is questioned, revealing the eminently relational and insubstantial character of drawing, the need to consider the intersection between parts rather than the search for a totality, and the interruption of the trace's journey by name and significance. Time is also revealed as a constituent of drawing, leading to the experience of drawing through the assimilation of its non-presence and the synchronic drift to which the overlapping of its rhythms leads us. In this way, drawing is understood as the superimposition of differences that can only coexist in an unthinkable space, which is not that of order or surface, but that of heterotopia. Having introduced these specificities of the traces, which determine the eminently relational and insubstantial character of drawing, this thesis moves on to unfold the multiplicity of drawing. It explains how the skin of drawing, understood so far in terms of the two-dimensionality of the traces on the surface, expands its thickness in a spatio-temporal multiplicity that responds to the diversity of traces produced by the whole body and to the interaction with other contextual agents beyond those of the unconscious human body. Finally, the thesis focuses on a visual approach to the multiplicities of drawing, based on an understanding of the mobile grammar of its traces, considered as a sum of particles in perpetual movement, collision, and constant regeneration in their interaction with the world.<br/
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
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
