    En este artículo se relaciona una etapa que se supone superada –por los diferentes gobiernos de la transición– después de más de 20 años de democracia, con formas de autoritarismo que en el presente la rememoran. Se propone que estas formas están presentes en símbolos y diferentes rituales y que se expresan en las relaciones sociales cotidianas, tanto en espacios públicos como privados e íntimos. Determinadas formas y relaciones del pasado no permanecen sólo como evocación y remembranza, sino que muchos aspectos del pasado se manifiestan en el presente por medio de prácticas orientadas por el sentido común y mecanismos institucionales rutinizados. La pesada herencia de un pasado ominoso sobre la cultura nacional ocluye su debate mediante mecanismos como la negación y el maniqueísmo.This article is about forms of practice and memory related to an ominous social and cultural period--the last dictatorship--that the various governments of the democratic period presume to have moved beyond. After more than twenty years of democracy, forms of authoritarianism persist in the present like reminiscences of the past. It is proposed that these forms are present in different rituals and symbols and are expressed in everyday social relations, in public, private and intimate spaces. Certain forms and relations of the past do not remain solely as evocation and remembrance; rather, some aspects of this past are manifested in the present, through practices guided by common sense and routinized institutional mechanisms.. The legacy of an ominous past weighs heavy on a national culture that occludes debate through mechanisms such as denial and Manichaeism.Fil: Isla, Alejandro Raul.

    Em várias regiões da América Latina, experiências e percepções de insegurança tornaram-se um dos epicentros a partir dos quais se configuram representações do Estado, práticas sociais e formas específicas de relação social. Com base em dados produzidos por um survey e de materiais coletados por meio de pesquisa etnográfica, analisamos esses processos de configuração a partir da observação da dinâmica de interação que têm lugar em redes sociais territoriais em enclaves urbanos pobres da Argentina e as formas como órgãos públicos e episódios de vitimização nelas se inscrevem.In several regions of Latin America, experiences and perceptions of insecurity have become one of the epicentres for forming representations of the State, social habits and specific forms of the social relation. Based on data produced by a survey and materials gathered through ethnographic research, Territorial Connections and Experiences of Insecurity in States of Uncertain Reliability analyze these processes of configuration in view of the interactive dynamic found in territorial social networks in poor urban areas of Argentina and how the public authorities and episodes of victimization become involved.Fil: Isla, Alejandro Raul.

    Rights in conflict. Diputes around the heritage of a sayaña in aymara territory

    Get PDF
    El artículo describe las prácticas de diferentes actores en un juicio centenario por una parcela en la Comunidad Originaria de Guaraya (hoy ayllu), lindera del pueblo de Tiwanaku, Bolivia. La parcela es una sayaña, un tipo de propiedad aymara que relaciona intereses colectivos (del ayllu) con intereses familiares, quienes la han ocupado, trabajado y realizado los rituales correspondientes durante generaciones. Así, el juicio revela lógicas individuales, de raigambre liberal, contrapuestas a colectivas, predominantes en la comunidad. Sin embargo, no abdican de disputar con sabiduría y astucia en espacios tribunalicios estatales, lejanos a su derecho consuetudinario. Los avatares del juicio litigioso ?cuyas raíces se remontan a fines del siglo XIX? en tribunales nacionales de diferente competencia, ámbito geográfico, atravesando todas las instancias jurídicas, demuestran formas de micro resistencia, como de adaptación, en la construcción de autonomías comunitarias frente al Estado Nación, o en sus bordes. El texto se basa en la exégesis de un expediente judicial, orientada por el trabajo etnográfico del autor en Guaraya.antropología política, articulaciones Ayllu-Estado, microrresistencias, autonomía.This article describes the practices of different actors in a 100-year long legal dispute for a plot in the Community of Guaraya (today ayllu), which adjoins the town of Tiwanaku in Bolivia. The plot is a sayaña, a type of Aymara property that relates (the ayllu's) collective interests with the interests of families, who have occupied and worked it, as well as performed the corresponding rituals in it for years. Thus, the trial reveals individual logics inspired by liberal traditions, which are in opposition to the collective ones prevalent in the community. These families, however, do not give up disputing with wisdom and ingenuity in State courts, which are alien to their customary law. The vicissitudes of the trial -whose roots go back to the late nineteenth century- in national courts of different jurisdictions, geographical scope, across all judicial instances, demonstrate forms of micro-resistance, as well as adaptation, in the construction of community autonomies before or in the margins of the Nation State. The text is based on the interpretation of a judicial file, guided by the author's ethnographic fieldwork in Guaraya.Fil: Isla, Alejandro Raul.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Cárceles y automóviles: Configuraciones del delito organizado en la Argentina

    Abordar el estudio del crimen organizado en la Argentina supone un interesante desafío inicial. La manera en que la transgresión a la norma formal se organiza en la sociedad argentina no parece asimilarse a lo que ocurre en otras sociedades en la misma región. En varias partes de América Latina el delito organizado surge en estructuras más o menos estables con expresiones públicas reconocibles...Fil: Miguez, Daniel Pedro.

    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 PDF
    We 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 PDF
    We 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
