"Jaida," a novel : the queer possibilities of "Jaida," an exegesis
No full textThis thesis is a hybrid thesis; that is, a combination of a creative work (the novel, "Jaida") and an academic exegesis of the various theoretical underpinnings that informed the writing of this middle grade novel. In the following exegesis, I detail and reflect upon some of the critical thought processes that provided a backdrop to the creation of the creative work, and highlight certain themes from the primary text in relation to contemporary research in the fields of queer theory and children’s literature.Arts, Faculty ofGraduat
The essence of beauty: um estudo sobre a construção racial de Jaida Essence Hall na 12º temporada de RuPaul's Drag Race
Full text linkConsiderando as representações raciais na mídia, esta pesquisa visa a investigação da construção racial de Jaida Essence Hall na 12ª temporada do reality show RuPaul’s Drag Race. O estudo se constrói, principalmente, a partir dos conceitos de raça, performatividade de gênero e estereótipos. O trabalho se baseia na lógica qualitativa para melhor compreensão dos fatos, utilizando as técnicas da pesquisa bibliográfica e a análise de imagens em movimento. O embasamento teórico foi elaborado a partir de Judith Butler, bell hooks e Stuart Hall, Richard Miskolci, Achile Mbembe, Kabengele Munanga e Erving Goffman. A temporada do programa foi assistida e seus trechos foram categorizados em dois pilares para a análise: “Jaida sobre si mesma” e “Outros sobre Jaida”. O resultado dessa análise mostra que Jaida tem como suas maiores inspirações e referências mulheres brancas, o que acaba por permear como a drag se constrói durante a temporada. Em suas falas, montações e trejeitos, Jaida se utiliza de aspectos da performatividade de gênero a partir da hegemonia branca, distanciando-se da visão da mulher negra “real”. Esses aspectos são percebidos pelos outros, mas a análise mostrou que, mesmo com essas ações, Jaida segue sendo racializada e vista como negra numa visão estereotipada.Considering racial representations in the media, this research aims to investigate the racial construction of Jaida Essence Hall in the 12th season of the reality show RuPaul’s Drag Race. The study is built mainly from the concepts of race, gender performativity, and stereotypes. This piece has qualitative nature for a better understanding of the facts, using the techniques of bibliographical research and the analysis of moving images. The theoretical basis was drawn, mostly, from Judith Butler, bell hooks, and Stuart Hall, which worked together with Richard Miskolci, Achile Mbembe, Kabengele Munanga, and Erving Goffman. The season of the program in question was watched three times and excerpts were categorized into two pillars for analysis: “Jaida about herself” and “Others about Jaida”. The results of this analysis show that Jaida has white women as her inspirations and references, which ends up permeating the way she behaves and builds itself during the season. Furthermore, in her speeches, montages, and gestures, Jaida uses aspects of gender performativity based on white hegemony, distancing herself from the vision of a “real” black woman. These aspects are perceived by others, but the analysis showed that, even with those actions, Jaida continues to be racialized and seen as black with a stereotyped view
Choosing Jaida
No full text85 p.When I first started working on this project, I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted it
to be. I told my advisor, Marin, that I wanted to write about my daughter Jaida. She was a year
and a half old at the time and had become my entire world since I got pregnant. I knew that if I
hadn't had her I would still be in the position of working on my Senior Individualized Project,
but everything else about college, particularly studying creative nonfiction, would have been
different. Not only had she guided most of my decisions through college and my life outside of
college, but she was the most interesting thing that had ever happened to me. I never imagined
myself choosing to keep a child while I was still in school, and at a school like Kalamazoo
College, I stood out in both positive and negative ways. My experience and writing nonfiction
through the past few years made me very aware of the results of that choice to keep her. I felt
obligated to write that story; I just wasn't sure how to focus it
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
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
