Pretensiones desvergonzadas y preguntas abominables : la historia intelectual como juicio del pasado
No full textFil: Jay, Martin. University of California, Berkeley; Estados Unidos.Preferiría responder al reto planteado a la historia intelectual en su totalidad por la crítica adorniana a la “pretensión desvergonzada” de superioridad en virtud de posteridad y la “pregunta abominable” por el significado del pasado enteramente “para nosotros”. En otras palabras, ¿es posible evitar en esta época de política identitaria y posiciones de sujeto abiertamente reconocidas la presión de adoptar una historiografía de perspectivas finitas y situadas? ¿Podemos encontrar una salida que nos aleje de esas arenas movedizas que David Simpson llamó el “posicionamiento, o por qué seguimos diciendo de dónde partimos?”
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
La crisis de la experiencia en la era pos-subjetiva.
No full textFil: Jay, Martin. University of California; Estados Unidos.“El desvanecimiento de la experiencia”, como lo denominó Theodor Adorno, “en última instancia se remonta al atemporal proceso tecnificado de la producción de bienes materiales”. En otro lugar agrega: “podría decirse que la experiencia es la unión de la tradición con un expreso anhelo de lo que es ajeno. Sin embargo, es la misma posibilidad de la experiencia la que está en peligro”. El lamento de Adorno sobre la amenazadora atrofia de la experiencia fue compartido por muchos intelectuales de su generación. Lo que su amigo Walter Benjamin definió como “la pobreza de la experiencia” pareció asolar a muchos pensadores que sufrieron los shocks traumáticos de la historia del convulsionado siglo XX. En el año 1978 el filósofo italiano Giorgio Agamben escribía: “La cuestión de la experiencia sólo puede ser abordada en la actualidad si se reconoce que ya no es accesible para nosotros. En la medida en que el hombre moderno ha sido privado de su biografía, también le fue expropiada su experiencia y de hecho, su incapacidad para tener experiencias y comunicarlas es acaso una de las pocas certezas que pueden afirmarse”
Trabajo de campo y teorización en la historia intelectual : una réplica a Fritz Ringer.
No full textFil: Jay, Martin. University of California, Berkeley. Department of History; Estados Unidos.Como acompañamiento del reciente renacer del interés en la historia intelectual se ha suscitado una vigorosa discusión, de creciente sofisticación teórica, sobre sus métodos y fundamentos teóricos. Gracias a la asimilación de lecciones de la filosofía, la antropología, la crítica literaria, la sociología y otros campos relevantes, historiadores como Quentin Skinner, Hayden White, Dominick LaCapra, James Clifford y Roger Chartier se han convertido en legítimos participantes de los debates culturales más amplios de nuestros días. Es particularmente gratificante ver a Fritz Ringer unirse a ellos, pues desde hace mucho se lo reconoce como un magistral representante del oficio del historiador intelectual. Quienes han tenido la suerte de estudiar con él, como fue mi caso a mediados de la década de 1960, así como aquellos que sólo lo conocen a través de sus libros ejemplares, The decline of the german mandarins y Education and society in modern Europe, no pueden sino dar la bienvenida a su intervención
