El poder de la construcción. Una etnografía sobre masculinidad y clase en varones del movimiento sindical.
Full text linkLa presente investigación es una etnografía que analiza la construcción de masculinidades en
el ámbito de la militancia sindical de trabajadores de la industria de la construcción en la ciudad
de Montevideo, Uruguay. El objetivo fue comprender la producción de subjetividades y
performances masculinas de varones adultos a través de sus trayectorias de militancia sindical,
partiendo de entender al género y la clase como categorías analíticas indisociables. Los
principales hallazgos dan cuenta de que la masculinidad como dispositivo de poder se nutre de
caracteres necesarios para la conformación de liderazgos sindicales, como el capital intelectual,
la capacidad de persuasión política y una performance pública adecuada que denote
racionalidad y autocontrol de las emociones. Tales caracteres, junto con dosis justas de
violencia legitimada, son cualidades que condensan a un buen dirigente, confeccionando así un
ideal de masculinidad con una épica de subalternidad que se presenta como un patrón de
prácticas hegemónicas para este contexto.The present research is an ethnography that analyzes the construction of masculinities within
the realm of union activism among construction industry workers in the city of Montevideo,
Uruguay. The objective was to understand the production of male subjectivities and
performances of adult men through their union activism trajectories, considering gender and
class as inseparable analytical categories. The main findings reveal that masculinity as a power
mechanism is enriched by characteristics necessary for the formation of union leadership, such
as intellectual capital, political persuasion ability, and an appropriate public performance that
denotes rationality and emotional self-control. These characteristics, along with a fair amount
of legitimized violence, are qualities that define a good leader, thus creating an ideal of
masculinity with an epic of subalternity that is presented as a pattern of hegemonic practices in
this context
La construcción de trayectorias sexo-afectivas de adolescentes a través del género y la clase
Full text linkA raíz del trabajo de campo realizado con adolescentes de distintas instituciones educativas de Montevideo, el objetivo de esta investigación es mostrar cómo las condiciones materiales y simbólicas de existencia que englobaremos bajo la categoría de clase y de género se entrecruzan constituyendo trayectorias afectivas y sexuales diferenciales. Entendemos a lo afectivo-sexual como una esfera de la subjetividad indisociable de las condiciones antes mencionadas, pero que también es actuada y negociada por los sujetos a medida que sus trayectorias se desenvuelven. Se verán los modos en cómo la clase social, entendida de forma amplia, propicia trayectorias sexuales particulares. La investigación se desarrolló desde una perspectiva antropológica y a través de un enfoque esencialmente etnográfico. La información fue recabada a través de entrevistas en profundidad a los y las jóvenes, y observación participante. Las principales conclusiones intentan establecer que los discursos sobre sexualidad están mediados por las trayectorias educativas, territoriales, sanitarias, de género y familiares. En los discursos de los y las jóvenes aparece constantemente una moral y una práctica de sí (Foucault, 2011) a la que es deseable amoldarse para distinguirse de otros. En el caso de jóvenes pertenecientes a capas socioeconómicas más favorecidas y con un perfil intelectual e ideológico asociado a la izquierda, esta moral y práctica de sí está asociada a una búsqueda hedonista de las experiencias que tiene en muchos casos finalidades políticas. Sin embargo en jóvenes de capas socioeconómicas bajas esta moral y práctica de sí (Foucault, 2011), trabaja en favor de distinguirse de contextos sociales desfavorecidos o proyectos vitales truncos.Fil: Gandolfi, Fernanda.

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
