Representação política e democratização da comunicação: um estudo de caso sobre a Associação Brasileira de Radiodifusão Comunitária
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia Política, Florianópolis, 2013.Nas últimas décadas, incrementou-se a participação de organizações civis na arena política brasileira. Na luta pela democratização da comunicação, diversas entidades representativas surgiram, principalmente a partir dos anos 1990, com o objetivo de defender interesses de setores excluídos nas políticas de comunicação. Entre elas, umas das mais atuantes é a Associação Brasileira de Radiodifusão Comunitária (Abraço). Presente em todos os estados da federação, a Abraço tem atuado como representante das emissoras comunitárias perante esferas decisórias, seja por intermédio de lobbies, reivindicações, participação em instâncias deliberativas ou através de parcerias com agentes estatais. O presente trabalho buscou compreender de que forma a relação da Abraço com as rádios comunitárias brasileiras fornece elementos para discutir os novos contornos da representação política. Ciente de que as representações exercidas por organizações civis configuram-se de maneira distinta da representação eleitoral institucional, o estudo de caso busca inferir como a atuação de organizações civis pode trazer novos significados para o próprio conceito de representação política. A pesquisa retoma estudos clássicos e contemporâneos da categoria para mapear em que medida há aproximação ou distanciamento entre a Abraço e as rádios comunitárias. Com a aplicação de questionários a 154 emissoras e entrevistas com cinco coordenadores da Associação, foi possível indicar uma significativa participação dos representados na entidade, por meio de mecanismos de accountability e Autorização como filiação, eleições de lideranças, eventos deliberativos e contatos pessoais. A pesquisa constata que a ampla maioria das rádios consideram a Abraço como sua representante legítima, mesmo que as taxas de filiação e participação não sejam tão expressivas. Tais descobertas reiteram teses recentes sobre democracia comunicativa, como as de Iris Young.Abstract : In recent years, there was an increase of civil organizations participation at the Brazilian political arena. In the struggle for democratization of communication, since the 1990s, several entities with the goal of representing marginalized sectors in communication policies have emerged. Among them, one of the most active is the Brazilian Association for Community Broadcasting (in Portuguese, Abraço). Present in all states of the federation, Abraço has acted as representative of the community radios facing with decision making layers, through lobbying, claims, participation in deliberative spheres or through partnerships with state sectors. This study sought to understand how the performance of the Association provides new elements to discuss the contours of political representation. Aware that the representations carried by civil organizations are configured differently from the electoral-institutional representation, the analysis of the entity sought to perceive how the role of civil organizations can bring new meaning to the concept of political representation. The research incorporates classical and contemporary studies of the category to map the extent of the closeness or distance between the representatives and their constituents, as to say, Abraço and the community radios. By making use of questionnaires to 154 stations and five interviews with coordinators of the Association, it was possible to indicate a significant participation of the radios in the entity, through mechanisms of accountability and authorization, as membership, leadership elections, deliberative events and personal contacts. The research also shows that the vast majority of radios considers Abraço as their legitimate representative. These analyzes confirm recent theories about communicative democracy, such as Iris Young
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
