Tiempo, subjetividad y dominación social en las sociedades contemporáneas: de la dominación abstracta a la ética neoliberal del tiempo
Get PDFIn this article I intend to address the problem of time in contemporary societies from a dialogue between the theoretical constructions of Moishe Postone and Hartmut Rosa, and the work of Michel Foucault. The first two have focused on explaining how temporality has become a type of abstract, impersonal and quasi-objective domination based on concepts such as temporal densification, acceleration or hybridization. Foucault, on the other hand, conceives time under the prism of neoliberal political rationality, by which time becomes a resource that must be managed by subjects in business terms and that ends up configuring a neoliberal ethic of time management. This dialogue exemplifies in a privileged way the tension between coercion or temporal pressure and the strategic administration of time typical of contemporary societies. En este artículo me propongo abordar el problema del tiempo en las sociedades contemporáneas desde un diálogo entre las construcciones teóricas de Moishe Postone y Hartmut Rosa y el trabajo de Michel Foucault. Los dos primeros se han centrado en explicar cómo la temporalidad se ha convertido en un tipo de dominación abstracta, impersonal y cuasiobjetiva a partir de conceptos como la densificación temporal, la aceleración o la hibridación. Foucault, en cambio, concibe el tiempo bajo el prisma de la racionalidad política neoliberal, por la cual el tiempo pasa a ser un recurso que debe gestionarse por los sujetos en términos empresariales y que termina por configurar una ética neoliberal de la administración del tiempo. Este diálogo ejemplifica de manera privilegiada la tensión entre la coacción o la presión temporal y la administración estratégica del tiempo propia de las sociedades contemporáneas
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
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

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
Espectáculo, alienación positiva y subjetividad inmanente
Get PDFEste artículo da cuenta de la especificidad de la propuesta teórica de Guy Debord, en concreto, de sus conceptos de espectáculo, alienación y subjetividad. Se abordará un análisis comparado a partir de las novedosas lecturas de Marx, lo que permite revisar la obra de Debord, señalando sus tensiones internas y sus potencialidades teóricas. En primer lugar, el análisis multilateral del concepto de espectáculo permite una aproximación novedosa y sofisticada de la propuesta elaborada por Debord incidiendo en su complejidad y en su polisemia. Además, la impugnación del trabajo como actividad humana transhistórica, planteada por Postone, permite una revisión tanto de una noción negativa de alienación, como la de una subjetividad trascendente. Finalmente, esta revisión crítica de los principales conceptos aportados por Debord permite una redefinición históricamente situada de las nociones de subjetividad, alienación y de conflicto social liberando al pensamiento crítico de la necesidad de un sostén ahistórico.This article accounts for the specificity of Guy Debord's theoretical proposal, in particular his concepts of spectacle, alienation and subjectivity. Through the lens of the new readings of Marx, I analyze comparatively Debord's work in order to point out his internal tensions and theoretical potentialities. First, I argue that a multilateral analysis of the concept of spectacle focusing on its complexity and polysemy allows for a novel and more sophisticated approach to Debord's proposal. In addition, following Moishe Postone's challenge of the idea of labour as a transhistorical human activity, I discuss Debord's negative notion of alienation and his transcendent concept of subjectivity. Finally, I argue that this critical review of Debord's main concepts allows a historically situated redefinition of the notions of subjectivity, alienation and social conflict that liberates critical thinking from the need of an ahistorical foundation
