No full textThis special issue of Quaternary International, entitled “Origins
and evolution of Modern Humans Behaviour: a view from North Africa”',
is the result of the A22 Session organised by Nick Barton,
Abdeljalil Bouzouggar and Nabiha Aouadi for the XVII world UISPP
Congress in Burgos (Spain).
The session A22 was focused on the general theme of the
concept of Modern Behavior and his origin and development in
North Africa, with a special focus on Maghreb. Among the oral communications
presented during the session, six authors have agreed
to present a paper on this Quaternary International Special Issue
"David Lubell (ed.), Holocene Prehistory in the Telidjene Basin, Eastern Algeria: Capsian Occupations at Kef Zoura D and Ain Misteheyia." (2017):
No full textThis important Volume assembled and edited by David Lubell represents a significant contribution to the understanding of human settlements in the Maghreb during the Holocene. Specifically, the focus of the book is the Capsian, a cultural horizon spread in Northern Africa along the Mediterrenean coast and the immediate inland area from Morocco to Libya, where it appears alongside the local variant called Libyco-Capsian (McBurney 1967)
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
