    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” 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

    Efeito de uma operação sobre a falta : o des-fazimento das historias infantis no sonho e na fala da criança

    Orientador: Claudia Thereza Guimarães de LemosDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Estudos da LinguagemResumo: Qual a eficácia simbólica (função) das histórias infantis (contos maravilhosos) na trajetória da criança pela linguagem? Eis a questão que move essa pesquisa. Cabe esclarecer que o termo 'histórias infantis¿ está numa referência ao efeito que uma narrativa ficcional produz sobre um sujeito e que o sentido de 'infantil¿ fundamenta-se na concepção freudiana. Dentre os fenômenos nos quais é possível verificar a presença de fragmentos provenientes desse tesouro popular, dois deles foram eleitos para a investigação: o sonho e a fala da criança. O eixo do presente estudo é o sonho dos lobos, exposto no relato clínico 'História de uma neurose infantil¿ (Freud: 1914): trata-se de um sonho de infância interpretado na análise do paciente em sua maturidade (retroativamente). Na leitura do caso foi destacada a insistência do significante 'postura¿ na história do sujeito, a qual ilustra a articulação entre real do corpo (o sexual, o infantil atualizado nos sintomas da juventude) e linguagem (trata-se de um significante que ¿ retroativamente - convoca um outro significante, na cadeia). Tanto na 'de-cifração¿ do sonho quanto na narrativa da criança (independentemente de sua posição na relação com a linguagem) foi constatado que as histórias infantis foram desfeitas para serem refeitas. No entanto, não há uma equivalência entre sonho e fala da criança. As histórias infantis abrem uma janela para que o traumático (o real, o sexual) compareça e oferecem significantes chaves para a elaboração da passagem edípica, os quais não têm um significado pré-estabelecido; não se trata de um conjunto de signos que representaria alguma realidade extralingüística. O que constitui propriamente o maravilhoso é a dimensão do impossível. Nos contos maravilhosos, tudo é possível, isto é: o desejo de preencher o vazio existente entre coisas e palavras (um preenchimento da ordem do impossível) não é questionado. Tal desejo afeta a estrutura, opera sobre a falta - o impossível de simbolizar cujo traço insiste ¿ e produz como efeito o 'des-fazimento¿ das histórias (também na construção do fantasma). A literatura infantil alimenta o desejo, cuja função é situável pela linguagem: ¿[...] existe desejo porque existe inconsciente, isto é, linguagem que escapa ao sujeito na estrutura e nos efeitos [...]¿ (Safouan, 1970: 32)Abstract: What is the symbolic (function) efficacy of children¿s stories (wonderful tales) on the child¿s way through language? That is the question which directs this research. It is useful to say that the expression ¿children¿s stories¿ points to the effect of which a fictional narrative produces on the subject. Futhermore, the meaning for ¿children¿s stories¿ is based on the Freudian concept of infantile. Among the phenomena under which it is possible to show some fragments, I elected two to be examined: the dream and the child¿s speech. The pillar of the present research is the study of the dream of the wolves that is showed in "From the History of an Infantile Neurosis" (Freud 1914), that is about a childhood dream interpreted along the patient¿s analysis in his adult life (retroactively). Reading the case, I pointed out the insistency of the ¿posture¿ signifier in the history of the subject by which illustrates the articulation between the real of the body (the sexual, the infantile in the symptoms of youth) and the language (which refers to a signifier that evokes ¿ retroactively- another). It was seen that the children¿s stories were undone to be redone in the ¿de-coding¿ of a dream and in the child¿s narrative (independently of her position referred to the language). However, there is no equivalence between dream and child¿s speech. The children¿s stories open a window for the appearance of the traumatic (the real, the sexual) and offer important keys for elaborating Oedipus passage, which has no pre-established signified. That is, it is not about a group of signs that would represent any extra-linguistic reality. The dimension of the impossible is what constitutes the wonderful. Everything is possible in those wonderful stories: the desire to fulfill the emptiness that exists among things and words (a fulfilling that comes from the realm of the impossible) is not questioned. That desire affects the structure and operates over the lack- the impossible to symbolize in which the trait insists ¿ and produces and effect of ¿undoing¿ of the stories as well as in the construction of the phantom. Children¿s literature feeds the desire whose function can be spotted in the language: ¿[¿] there is desire because there is unconscious, that is, language that escapes form the subject in structure and in effects [¿]¿ Safouan (1970:32)Mestrad

    The article examines the preliminary ideas that will be part of my Master’s dissertation. The aim of this dissertation is the study of the structure and function of childhood stories in the child’s trajectory from the state of infans to that of subject-speaker. We have identified the children’s story-telling act as a privileged place to board our question. The main focus of this article is on the theme of the myth and authors on Language Acquisition, Anthropology and Psychoanalysis are discussed

    From the interdicted to "the real as the impossible" : a hypothesis on transmission in psychoanalysis

    Orientador: Cláudia Thereza Guimarães de LemosTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Estudos da LinguagemResumo: Parte-se, nesta tese, da fantasia conforme apresentada por Freud através do sonho dos lobos, no caso História de uma neurose infantil (1918[1914]). Segundo Freud, o sonho dos lobos é "ativação" da cena de coito do casal parental. Jamais lembrada, "fantasia fundamental", a cena impossível de simbolizar é "construção da análise". Freud não recua diante do não simbolizável, mas Lacan o nomeia: real. A transmissão em psicanálise é efeito do não simbolizável? O segundo capítulo trata da fantasia como narrativa e da frase da fantasia. Herói de todas as histórias, maciçamente presente na fantasia como narrativa, o "eu" está ausente na frase da fantasia de espancamento. A frase intermediária, não simbolizável - uma construção da análise - permite a reconstrução do "eu". Flagrante da cena de constituição do inconsciente, a frase possibilita uma gramática e a depreensão de uma lógica gramatical da fantasia. Por ser articulação significante, tal qual a narrativa, a frase é considerada um deslocamento de Freud na questão da fantasia. O terceiro capítulo apresenta o passo de Lacan. Com a lógica do fantasma, a frase enquanto estrutura gramatical é considerada para ser implodida. Da frase resta o objeto a, na frase da fantasia de espancamento: o olhar. O objeto a apresenta-se como corpo, mas não "corpo total": não especularizável, o objeto a é queda, aquilo que desgarra ou se afasta do corpo de que depende. A castração possibilita definir a função do objeto a em seu estatuto lógico. Na subjetivação, o sujeito ocupa o lugar do objeto a. A lógica do fantasma inclui o objeto a na lógica do significante. Uma narrativa de caso, forma de transmissão em psicanálise, é apresentada no quarto capítulo. O capítulo final, a passagem de "o impossível é o real" a "o real é o impossível", considera: enquanto o complexo de Édipo se funda no interdito - o impossível de simbolizar, nos termos de Lacan: 'o impossível é o real' - a fórmula "não há relação sexual", axioma lacaniano da castração, se funda em "o real é o impossível". Efeito de estrutura, 'o real como o impossível' faz existir a hipótese desta tese: o não simbolizável, o interdito representado pelo complexo de Édipo - 'o impossível é o real' - funda o campo freudiano e produz a transmissão em psicanáliseAbstract: This thesis is based on fantasy as Freud presented this concept in the dream about the wolves in the clinical case entitled The History of an Infantile Neurosis (1918[1914]). According to Freud, this dream was an "activation" of the scene of intercourse between the Wolf Man's parents. This "fundamental fantasy", this scene, that is never remembered and cannot be symbolized, is a "construction of analysis." Freud never backed down on the idea of non-symbolizable, but Lacan called it "real." Is transmission in psychoanalysis the effect of the non-symbolizable? The second chapter of the thesis discusses the fantasy as narrative and the phrase of the fantasy. The hero of all stories, unmistakably present in the fantasy as narrative, the "I" (or the "ego") is absent from the phrase of the fantasy of being beaten. The intermediate phrase, which is non-symbolizable - it is a construction of analysis - enables the "ego" to be reconstructed. The phrase is an instantaneous glance at the scene of the constitution of the unconscious and enables the existence of a grammar and a detachment from a grammatical logic of the fantasy. As it is a signifying articulation, as is the narrative, a phrase is considered a displacement by Freud in the question of the fantasy. The third chapter presents Lacan's advance. With the logic of the fantasy, the phrase as grammatical structure is considered for implosion. In the phrase of the fantasy of beating only object a remains: the gaze. Object a is seen as body, but not "total body": unspecularizable, object a is fall, something that comes loose from, or moves away from, the body it depends on. Castration makes it possible to define the function of object a in its status in logic. In subjectivation the subject occupies the place of object a. The logic of the fantasy includes object a in the logic of the signifier. The narrative of a case, on a form of transmission in psychoanalysis, is presented in Chapter Four. The last chapter, the passage from "the impossible is the real" to "the real is the impossible," considers that: whereas the Oedipus complex is founded on the interdicted - what cannot be symbolized, in Lacan's terms: 'the impossible is the real' - the formula "there is no sexual relationship," Lacan's axiom for castration - is founded on "the real is the impossible." As the effect of structure, "the real as the impossible" brings the hypothesis of this thesis into existence: the not-symbolizable, the interdicted represented by the Oedipus complex - "the impossible is the real" - founds the Freudian field and produces transmission in psychoanalysisDoutoradoLinguisticaDoutor em Linguístic

    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
