'Sempre Ajeitando' (Always adjusting):an Amazonian way of being in time<sup>1</sup>
No full textThis article argues that the modernity of caboclo societies is characterised mainly by its constant renovation of the past in the present, a strategy that has given them great reproductive (social and biological) success and that was critical for their adaptation to unstable economic and political conditions and to a scenario of socio-cultural collapse. Resilience and flexibility are, for the author, the riverine populations’ main features. In the text, Harris dialogues with two previous forms of referring to the genesis of these populations: the “caboclization” process by Eugene Parker, elaborated in the mid-1980’s, and the mercantilist theory, formalised by Stephen Nugent in the beginning of the 1990s. For him, as one imposes abstract categories and concepts with the aim of building collective entities such as caboclo “culture” or “identity”, one misses out what is richest in the analysis object: the heterogeneity, the ambivalence, the ideology of “mixture” and the “opening” before the unknown, which emerges with the analysis of specific biographies in their respective socio-economic contexts

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
