La infancia arrebatada. La figura del menor víctima del terrorismo en el cine y la literatura en torno a ETA
Full text linkETA killed 21 minors, injured at least 172 others, and destroyed the childhood or adolescence of thousands more. Their stories seem to have a significant impact on the perception of ETA and its victims and, consequently, on the narrative about terrorism. Intuition says that those cases could be particularly useful in delegitimizing violence. This article reviews the representation of the minor victim of terrorism in film and literary production about ETA, which also contributes to the narrative about terrorism. We look at the image of the child victim it describes, at its relationship with historical reality, and we wonder what the children’s gaze and its cinematographic and literary representation can bring to the story about terrorism.ETA asesinó a 21 menores de edad, dejó heridos al menos a otros 172 y destrozó la infancia o la adolescencia de miles más. Sus historias parecen tener una capacidad de impacto importante en la percepción sobre ETA y sus víctimas y, en consecuencia, en el relato acerca del terrorismo. Por ello, se intuye que sus casos podrían ser especialmente útiles en la deslegitimación de la violencia. Este artículo repasa la representación del menor víctima del terrorismo en la producción cinematográfica y literaria en torno a ETA, que contribuye también al relato. Nos preguntamos qué imagen de los menores víctimas describe, qué relación tiene con la realidad histórica y qué pueden aportar la mirada infantil y su representación cinematográfica y literaria al relato sobre el terrorismo
Las víctimas en el cine tras el cese definitivo del terrorismo de ETA (2012-2017): memoria, reconciliación y humor
Full text linkThis article explores the representation of the victims in feature films about terrorism in Euskadi released after the announcement of the definitive cessation of the “armed activity” of ETA in 2011. Cinema, as witness and agent of history, has transmitted new concerns, debates and perspectives about past and future in the Basque Country that have emerged or have consolidated in recent years. Many of them allude to the victims or have them as protagonists. As these pages will show, filmmakers have transmitted through their work a certain image of this collective and their memory and have assigned them different roles, more or less active, for the future.Este artículo explora la representación de las víctimas en los largometrajes cinematográficos en torno al terrorismo en Euskadi estrenados tras el anuncio del cese definitivo de la “actividad armada” de ETA en 2011.

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
More than a novel. Representation and reception of the world in Fernando Aramburu’s Patria
Full text linkLa representación de mundos literarios de ficción contribuye a la configuración de la visión que tenemos de la realidad actual. Desde ese punto de partida, analizaremos seis tribunas de opinión –representativas del espectro ideológico y mediático español y regional vasco– en busca de indicios que muestren en qué medida la recepción de Patria (Aramburu 2016) –directa e indirecta– ayuda a comprender lo ocurrido en las últimas décadas en el País Vasco y puede reactivar un sistema de vigencias en desuso o desconocido. Partiendo de nociones procedentes de la pragmática ficcional y la crítica, a través del análisis del discurso de los textos estudiaremos si la obra se considera más que una novela, un relato que supone una referencia complementaria para aquellos que no vivieron o que han olvidado este periodo de la historia reciente.The representation of fictional literary worlds contributes to the configuration of the vision we have of current reality. From this starting point, we will analyse six opinion forums –representative of the Spanish and regional Basque ideological and media spectrum– in search of clues that show how the reception of Patria (Aramburu 2016) –directly and indirectly– helps to understand what has happened in recent decades in the Basque Country and can reactivate a disused or unknown system of validity. Drawing on notions from fictional pragmatics and criticism, through the discourse analysis of the texts we will study whether the work is considered more than a novel, a story that provides a complementary reference for those who did not live through or have forgotten this period of recent history
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
