A questão da organização: Examinando o itinerário conceitual de Lukács para a mudança social
Get PDFCem anos após sua publicação, História e consciência de classe continua sendo um guia indispensável para a mudança social. Contribuindo para a discussão mais ampla sobre Lukács e a teoria crítica atual, este artigo explora aspectos da contribuição de Lukács para uma filosofia do partido, sua abordagem singular da prática política e sua defesa de uma alternativa. Com base em releituras contemporâneas de sua obra, os conceitos de reificação, totalidade e mediação são explorados, destacando a importância do ensaio final do livro, muitas vezes negligenciado, sobre uma metodologia do problema da organização. Além disso, chama a atenção para Reboquismo e dialética e o conceito de Augenblick (“momento”), lançando luz sobre a compreensão de Lukács acerca da complexa relação entre fatores objetivos e subjetivos no curso do desenvolvimento histórico. A discussão acima está situada na atmosfera do início da década de 1920 e nos dilemas e novos desafios impostos pela revolução de outubro de 1917. Ao mesmo tempo, ao longo de sua vasta e muitas vezes contraditória obra, Lukács oferece conceitos, metodologias e ferramentas para enfrentar os desafios teóricos e políticos cruciais do século 21. Até o fim de sua vida, Lukács dedicou todos os seus esforços ao renascimento do marxismo e permaneceu comprometido com a causa mesmo nas condições mais desfavoráveis. Assim, este artigo conclui com algumas reflexões sobre o potencial renascimento de Lukács e seu significado para as perspectivas emancipatórias, argumentando que, em uma era de derrota política e becos sem saída estratégicos aparentemente insuperáveis, há muito a aprender com seu legado.One hundred years after its publication, History and Class Consciousness remains an indispensable guide to social change. Contributing to the broader discussion about Lukács and critical theory today, this article explores aspects of Lukács’s contribution to a philosophy of the party, his distinctive approach to political practice and his defence of the alternative. Drawing from contemporary re-readings of his work, the concepts of reification, totality, and mediation are explored highlighting the importance of the book’s often-overlooked final essay towards a methodology of the problem of organisation. Further, it draws attention to Tailism and the Dialectic and the concept of Augenblick (“moment”), shedding light on Lukács’s understanding of the complex relation between objective and subjective factors in the course of historic development. The above discussion is situated within the atmosphere of the early 1920s and the dilemmas and new challenges posed by the 1917 October revolution. At the same time, throughout his vast and often contradictory work Lukács offers concepts, methodologies, and tools to address the crucial theoretical and political challenges of the 21st century. Until the end of his life Lukács devoted all his efforts to the renaissance of Marxism and remained committed to the cause even in the most unfavourable conditions. Thus, this article concludes with some reflections on Lukács’s potential revival and its significance for emancipatory perspectives arguing that in an era of political defeat and seemingly insurmountable strategic dead-ends, there is a lot to learn from his legacy
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
