Jorge Francisco Liernur con Pablo Pschepiurca, La red austral. Obras y proyectos de Le Corbusier y sus discípulos en la Argentina, 1924-1965, Bernal, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, 2008, 429 páginas
No full textFil: Healey, Mark Alan. University of California, Berkeley; Estados Unidos.La iniciativa que se realiza con este libro surge de la voluntad de los autores, primero de Jorge Francisco Liernur y luego de Pablo Pschepiurca, de dar cuenta de esa complejidad e ir más allá de las interpretaciones esquemáticas, simplistas, y a menudo panfletarias de la obra de Le Corbusier y sus discípulos vigentes treinta años atrás. Ellos se propusieron indagar en las fuentes primarias, empezando por los archivos de Le Corbusier, para construir una visión más compleja, sutil y convincente de la acción y las propuestas del maestro y sus discípulos rioplatenses, que se organizaron en el grupo Austral
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
"Occupy Every Road and Prepare for Combat": Mapuche and Tehuelche Leaders Face the War in Patagonia
No full textFrancisco P. Moreno, the Argentine explorer and naturalist, heard this slogan at a parliament of confederated caciques in the Indigenous Government of Las Manzanas in 1880. Taking this statement as a point of departure, this chapter reviews the history of Argentine military campaigns of national expansion in Patagonia from the perspective of Mapuche and Tehuelche caciques. We explore how they faced this defensive war, how they positioned themselves against the aggression launched on their territories and populations, and how they perceived and explained the radical violence of nation-states in their correspondence with other indigenous leaders and with military and civil authorities in Argentina and Chile. By conceiving the Conquest of the Desert in the 1870s and 1880s as a social war, or better stated as multiple overlapping wars which played out differently by region and by indigenous polity, we will identify the strategies and tactics of the major caciques or lonkos, their policies and diplomacy, and their alliances and negotiations with national states. This exploration will build on correspondence and other sources, such as ethnographic testimonies from the 19th and 20th century, which allow us to draw closer to the protagonists point of view on these genocidal wars and contrast it with canonical accounts. As a hypothesis, we argue that indigenous leaders were effective in coordinating actions, protecting their people, limiting the extent of mortality and the dismantling of social structures, and negotiating terms of subordination with the newly powerful national state.Fil: Vezub, Julio Esteban.

La ley de glaciares en la encrucijada: cuestión minera y juridificación del conflicto ambiental en Argentina
No full textDe todos los logros de dos décadas de activismo ambiental, tal vez el más resonante sea la ley 26.639, públicamente denominada Ley de Glaciares (LG). Empezó como un proyecto legislativo marginal en 2007, se volvió rápidamente una causa movilizadora y, después de una dura contienda política y parlamentaria,fue aprobada en 2010. En muy pocos años, la Argentina pasó de tener glaciares prácticamente desconocidos y sin un marco legal de protección, especialmente contra los impactos de una industria minera en expansión, a tener un instrumento específico y pionero que habilitaba un activo control con vistas a mayor protección. Tres aspectos clave de dicha ley fueron: la declaración expresa de los glaciares como bienes de carácter público pasibles de ser protegidos en tanto reservas estratégicas de recursos hídricos, la creación del Inventario Nacionalde Glaciares (ING) que por primera vez identificaría y registraría las formaciones glaciales a proteger, y la prohibición de explotación minera en áreas glaciales o periglaciales. En ese sentido, la ley y el inventario establecieron el marco para una política de protección a los glaciares inédita en el mundo.Este capítulo se propone mirar más de cerca los procesos de juridificación y las disputas hacia dentro de este conflicto ambiental. Sostenemos, junto con Azuela, que hacer cumplir la ley no es un asunto exterior al orden jurídico, es un momento más del proceso de juridificación (2006: 233). Esto se fundamenta en que la implementación de una ley supone un conjunto de procedimientos jurídicos y técnicos que lejos de ser automáticos, pueden dar lugar a resultados muy dispares y hasta aparentemente contradictorios con los fines explícitos dela ley.Fil: Martin, Facundo Damian.

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
