Eduardo L. Holmberg en la escena científica argentina. Ideas y acciones entre la década de 1870 y el fin-de-siglo
Get PDFDesde 1870, Eduardo L. Holmberg (1852-1937) pensó el rol de las instituciones y de los científicos que ocupaban lugares centrales en la Argentina. Tempranamente, el Museo Público y Germán Burmeister fueron parámetros para evaluar una realidad que transcendía a esta figura y a la institución que comandaba. Desde la perspectiva de Holmberg, los hombres de ciencia que habían convocado los políticos en tiempos de la división entre la Confederación y Buenos Aires para modernizar instituciones y lograr así dar despliegue y prestigio científico a la Argentina no siempre habían cumplido con este objetivo. Desde diferentes registros –artículos científicos, textos de ficción e informes para censos y otros documentos oficiales– esbozó inquietudes y trató de dar respuesta a tres preguntas que lo inquietaban.Palabras clave: Eduardo L. Holmberg, Argentina, historia de la ciencia, progreso.ABSTRACTSince 1870, Eduardo L. Holmberg (1852-1937), analyzed the role of the major scientific institutions and the scientists in Argentina. In his early days, the Museo Público and German Burmeister were the parameters to evaluate a reality more complex and beyond this institution and this figure. According to Holmberg, the men of science arrived to Argentina in times of the division between the Confederation and Buenos Aires, had had an erratic performance in his goals: modernize the scientific institutions and improve the scientific prestige. From different perspectives –scientific articles, fiction, censuses records, and official documents-, Holmberg, according to his interests, tried to give response to three major problems.Key words: Eduardo L.

Eduardo L. Holmberg
Get PDFEduardo L. Holmberg fue un hombre múltiple. Su genio proteico se desparramó en muchos aspectos de las ciencias y de las letras, y en verdad no tiene parangón entre los que han sido en el medio intelectual argentino. Pero sí mucho hizo en asuntos tan dispares como la descripción científica de abejas y de arañas, de moluscos, batracios, reptiles, aves y mamíferos, como en tratar temas de botánica, arqueología, en proyectar edificios, en ser periodista, traductor de Dickens, autor de un voluminoso poema en verso, políglota, cuentista y divulgador de las ciencias, publicista y ensayista, no menos verdad es que, lo hizo bien.Conferencia pronunciada el 6 de mayo de 1944 por LS11 Radio Provincia de Buenos Aires.Fundación Museo La Plat

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
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
Literatura policial e ficção científica na Argentina do século XIX: Eduardo L. Holmberg
Get PDFEste artigo propõe apresentar a figura excêntrica do escritor argentino Eduardo L. Holmberg especialmente através das suas obras de final do século xix – que se podem incluir na ficção científica e/ou no policial – e relacioná-las tanto com as especificidades argentinas como enfocá-las à luz dos estudos mais recentes sobre biopolítica e controlo social. Numa primeira parte, iremos apresentar retrospetivamente o cânone da ficção científica e do policial que para Ricardo Piglia se institui na Argentina com a obra de Jorge Luis Borges (ou seja, nos anos 30 ou 40 do século xx). Numa segunda parte, faremos a análise teórica do papel do Estado, através dos estudos sobre biopolítica de Foucault, Agamben e Esposito, e a gestão do conhecimento científico pelo poder que as obras “Horacio Kalibang o los autómatas” e La bolsa de huesos mostram.The purpose of this article is to portray the eccentric figure of the Argentinean writer Eduardo L. Holmberg, focusing in particular on two of his late 19th century works - which can be classified as science fiction and detective stories - and relating them to distinctive features of Argentina, while also framing them against the background of the most recent studies on biopolitics and social control. First of all, we will retrospectively analyze the canon of science fiction and detective stories that, according to Ricardo Piglia, began in Argentina with the writings of Jorge Luis Borges (i.e., between the 1930s and 1940s). Later, we will dwell on the theoretical analysis of the role of the State, through the studies of biopolitics by Foucault, Agamben and Esposito, and the management of scientific knowledge by the ruling power depicted in “Horacio Kalibang o los autómatas” and La bolsa de huesos
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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 PDFWe 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
