Pederastia clerical o el retorno de lo suprimido
Full text linkCuando la actividad sexual efectiva se manifiesta a cielo abierto en el caso de los que se presentan ante los ojos de los demás como célibes y castos (y por lo tanto diferentes de la mayoría de sus seguidores), la investidura sacralizada se desconfigura. Entonces aparece no el sujeto consagrado de tiempo completo a su Dios, sino sólo el actor que pretende representar ese papel que en medio de la obra muestra la fractura que se despliega entre su mensaje, el personaje y los actos.
Tal discordancia agujera el mensaje, que tiende a emitirse de manera performativa: decir es hacer. Entonces el simulacro muestra sus entrañas en toda su crudeza. Y al hacerlo, tiende a igualar al consagrado con quienes no optaron por su elección de vida. Sin embargo, esta caída de la sacralidad no es tan evidente, ya que en el sacerdocio católico abundan los expertos en administrar un tipo de invisibilidad que se muestra a vistas entre otros lugares, en la alba hostia que pretende no sólo representar, sino contener el cuerpo real de Cristo, después de que el oficiante emite las palabras de la consagración. Cuando desde la primera infancia se ha sido educado en este hábitus creyente, la sacralidad resiste.
Y en el caso de la pederastia clerical hay incluso un segundo bastión que apoya el edificio: la ficción de un sujeto también ataviado con indumentaria blanca que en el vértice de la estructura pretende mantenerse por encima de estos terrestres avatares, sin develar que desde esa investidura se emitió la orden de mantener en secreto tal tipo de relación violenta de poder sexualizada. El presente libro aborda sin cortapisas los temas señalados
Cuando un futuro se disuelve: de identidades trastocadas y radicalizaciones no previstas
No full textEste libro revisa las trayectorias de algunos jóvenes católicos que decidieron tomar las armas en México a principios de los años setenta, pero intenta ir más allá de las motivaciones y las doctrinas que los llevaron a hacerlo. Busca analizar, asimismo, el momento en que asumieron posturas que quizás algunos de ellos no hubieran querido, como torturar a través del acto mismo de secuestrar a una persona —lo que sin duda afectaba a las víctimas— o asesinar sin enfrentamientos de por medio.
Se analizan, particularmente, dos casos que motivaron en ellos una reflexión ética acerca de si debían o no asesinar al secuestrado. En uno de estos casos pasaron al acto, mientras que en el otro liberaron al retenido. No obstante, tiempo después se intenta disculpar este y otros crímenes al llamar-los “ajusticiamientos”, lo que equivale a considerar que el acto fue realizado por “asesinos buenos”, para alcanzar el reino de la igualdad y la justicia, y demuestra que estos jóvenes no estaban exentos de contradicciones flagrantes en su lucha contra el enemigo absoluto: el supremo gobierno y la burguesía explotadora.
De esta forma, un futuro se disolvió, y con el tiempo el país entró a trompicones en una larga y vulnerable transición a la democracia con la colaboración de algunos de ellos, en un México pleno de desigualdades y tumbas
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
Institutional Reform for Irrigation and Drainage : Proceedings of a World Bank Workshop
No full textThe report consists of an introduction,
and three separate, but inter-related parts. The
introduction provides an overview of the workshop
discussions, arguing that the irrigation sector is blamed
for many environmental problems, suggesting to set the right
incentives, and regulations, including stakeholders
involvement, and partnerships to overcome sector obstacles.
The first part looks at the institutional diversity in
irrigation, and drainage sectors, reviewing institutional
changes within components of the Bank's portfolio of
irrigation, and drainage projects. It addresses the extent
to which the Bank's major policy documents of the 1990s
have shaped the portfolio, and suggests recommendations to
promote institutional changes, and the introduction of
alternative solutions, such as private sector involvement,
to increase competition, service contracts, and
intergovernmental agreements. The second part reviews the
irrigation regulatory framework, arguing that participation
of Water Users Associations (WUAs) in the management of
irrigation systems, is likely to increase systems
efficiency, including improved collection of charges for
irrigation infrastructure operation, and maintenance, as
well as water charges. Legal instruments are further
analyzed, to establish adequately functioning WUAs,
including institutional issues for the potential
privatization of irrigation management facilities. Also
discussed is the legal pluralism, and its effect on water
rights, highlighting interactions between multiple legal
orders, and the fact that all such orders can provide bases
for claiming property rights, suggesting the recognition of
multiple bases for claims, regarding property rights as
negotiated outcomes. The third part examines the
benchmarking system, economic incentives, and pricing,
discussing the role of economic incentives in improving
water use efficiency, the benefits of benchmarking
irrigation systems to sustain agricultural production,
emphasizing on institutional, and structural reforms to
overcome sector problems
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
