Is First, They Killed My Father a Cambodian testimonio?
No full textIn his article Is First, They Killed My Father a Cambodian testimonio John T. Maddox discusses aspects of the testimonial. Dialoguing with leading Latin Americanists, Maddox argues that Cambodian writer Loung Ung\u27s First, They Killed My Father (2000) challenges this uniqueness and opens studies on the testimonio to new possibilities for intellectual reflection and political activism. In Maddox\u27s view, the continued use of the term testimonio would serve as a reference to this long-standing tradition of writing and thinking about political violence in Latin America. After a discussion of the debate of the definition and function of testimonio and a synopsis of Ung\u27s work, Maddox argues that the ongoing intellectual debates regarding the testimonio, its form, its place in the literary canon, and its role in politics among Latin Americanists can also be applied to the work
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Uma filosofia do futuro? Robert James Maddox e a sua perspectiva sobre a bomba atômica
No full textQual a função e o sentido do “futuro” na História? Esta pergunta pode ser respondida neste artigo a partir da perspectiva historiográfica de Robert James Maddox. Esse historiador ortodoxo estadunidense dedicou boa parte de sua vida acadêmica aos estudos sobre a bomba atômica e a descontruir os “mitos” daqueles que contestavam o uso das bombas nucleares por parte dos EUA. Argumentando que Maddox opera num sentido que tenta ver uma unidade no passado estadunidense frente a um presente ainda mais fragmentado, a função que o futuro passa a exercer em sua narrativa é de justificativa. Neste sentido, pode-se pensar que o fazer historiográfico de Robert Maddox e a sua tentativa de comprovar (empiricamente e retoricamente) a necessidade do uso das bombas atômicas fez com que ele usasse o futuro como uma categoria que permitisse justificar as ações do passado. Neste sentido, mostrarei as formas e a relação entre o pensamento do autor em questão com a questão da disciplinarização da História.
