    Este artículo se propone analizar, en el marco del proyecto de investigación Pistas electrónicas: djs, música y baile, las relaciones entre música electrónica y consumo de éxtasis a partir de considerar que las mismas constituyen técnicas del placer que permiten procurarse ciertos disfrutes e intensidades ligados a la interacción de los cuerpos en movimiento. En primer lugar, se traza un breve panorama histórico de la droga conocida como éxtasis y sus diferentes usos. Luego, se describen algunas características de la música electrónica de baile, sus géneros, la función del DJ, etcétera. En tercer lugar, se analizan las formas del placer e interacción que surgen de la conjunción entre baile, música electrónica y droga. Finalmente, se indican algunas ideas que permiten comprender esos placeres como una suerte de neo-hedonismo, cuya principal característica es producir desplazamientos en la experiencia corporal y sexual.This article aims to analyze, the relationship between electronic music and ecstasy after considering that these are techniques that give pleasure and joy linked to the interaction of moving bodies, within the framework of a research project called Electronic Dancefloors: DJ, music and dance. Firstly, there is a brief historical overview of the drug known as ecstasy and its different uses. Secondly, we describe some characteristics of electronic dance music, its traits, its genres, the role of the DJ, etcetera. Thirdly, we analyze the ways of interaction and pleasure arising from the conjunction of dance, electronic music and drugs. Finally, we suggest some ideas that allow us to understand such pleasures as a sort of neo-hedonism, which main feature is to produce shifts in the body and sexual experience.Fil: Lenarduzzi, Victor.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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

    Arte y tecnologismo : el imaginario técnico en el discurso de la música electrónica en la década del 90

    No full text
    El trabajo pretende abordar la cuestión del imaginario técnico, analizando los discursos generados alrededor de la música electrónica a mediados de los 90, en la escena global y trazando puntos de contacto con la experiencia local. \n\nEsta tesina partirá de una idea desplegada por varios autores, la cual sostiene que la mentalidad de una época puede leerse en sus productos culturales como los objetos de arte, las publicidades, la vestimenta, la oferta multimedia y el lenguaje. De este modo el trabajo estudia una expresión artística particular y los discursos que ésta genera sobre sí misma, y busca evidenciar la forma en que ese imaginario relacionado con la técnica moderna se manifiesta. \n\nEsta investigación se desarrollará bajo dos supuestos principales.\n\nA- Es la música electrónica de la década del 90 donde el imaginario técnico se consolida con su mayor potencia, con características distintivas muy marcadas respecto a otras décadas.\n\nB- Tal mentalidad hace que las concreciones culturales alrededor de la música electrónica conciban al cuerpo humano y a la naturaleza como objetos híbridos, codificables y perfeccionables artificialmente en un futuro siempre próximo.\n\nEstas líneas de investigación me llevarán a plantear otra serie de preguntas y acciones para entender las causas y los motivos por los cuales este fenómeno crece exponencialmente en ese momento y no antes o después. Será necesario abordar el contexto histórico en el que se desarrolla este imaginario, así como sus condiciones de producción, es decir aquellos discursos anteriores que posibilitaron su manifestación. Un estudio qué pretenda articular tecnología, discurso e industrias del entretenimiento debe realizar una serie de preguntas refractarias: ¿qué tipo de arte produce la técnica?, ¿qué modelos de técnica subyacen en cada arte?; ¿qué imágen del artista traza la técnica?, ¿qué tipo de relación organizan los artistas con la técnica?; y finalmente ¿cómo se relaciona el arte con el entramado técnico; se acopla, lo utiliza o es utilizado?Fil: Reynoso, Salvador Francisco.
