ICONOGRAFIA E HISTÓRIA NA LITERATURA DE DEREK WALCOTT
No full textConsiderado um autor regional até pouco tempo antes de ganhar o Prêmio Nobel em 1992, com o épico de poesias Omeros, Derek Walcott, autor creole do Caribe Britânico, foi beneficiado pela globalização, após produzir uma obra literário-poética e pictórica significativa do imaginário do século XX, fragmentado por incursões pós-modernas, exigindo leituras para além dos “binarismos” primários de poder (Homi Bhabha). O estudo iconográfico que pretendemos, utilizando como ponto de partida seu livro Omeros e suas pinturas produzidas entre os anos de 1990 e 2006, busca ultrapassar a limitação da pesquisa iconográfica e iconológica, detectada nos últimos anos, por autores como Peter Burke, não só para reexaminar e reavaliar o imaginário de nossa época, como para evidenciar uma espécie de síntese humanística voltada para o diálogo entre os povos, em meio a outras abordagens. O entrecruzamento de fontes orais, pictóricas e literárias, visando a ampliação de perspectivas, tão bem defendido por Michel Vovelle, denota tanto a presença de alguns paradigmas e métodos conflitantes na abordagem da imagem e da linguagem, como justifica a pesquisa diante da escassez de trabalhos históricos nessa área, sugerindo novas análises.

Resumen
Derek Walkott fue considerado un autor regional hasta obtener el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1992 con su obra Omeros. El estudio que proponemos pretende trascender la investigación Iconográfica, aunque está apoyado en sus pinturas producidas entre 1990 y 2006. Se trata de contrastar fuentes pictóricas y literárias enfrentando paradigmas y utilizando variados métodos en la búsqueda de uma ampliación de perspectivas de la propia Historia.

Abstract
Considered a regional author until he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1992 for his epic poetry Omero, Derek Walcott, a Creole writer and painter, benefited from globalization after producing a significant literary-poetic and artistic work about the twentieth-century imaginary, fragmented by post-moderns influences, demanding interpretations beyond primary ‘binarisms’ of power (Homi Bhabha). The iconography study that we propose, using as starting-point his book Omero and his paintings produced between 1990 and 2006, attempts to go beyond the iconographic and iconological research of the recent years, conducted by Peter Burke; it aims not only to re-examine and re-evaluate the imaginary’s epoch, but also to give evidence of a kind of humanistic synthesis directed to the dialogue between peoples, among other approaches. The intertwining of oral, pictorial and literary sources, with the aim to increase perspectives, as it has been supported by Michel Vovelle, denotes the presence of some paradigms and conflicting methods with the aim to increase perspectives, conflictive methods in the approach of image and language. The lack of historical studies in this area justifies the proposed research, with the proposal of new analyses.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
AS IMAGENS-MUNDO EM DEREK WALCOTT
No full textO livro Omeros do poeta Derek Walcott – Prêmio Nobel de 1992 – é analisado neste breve texto como iconografia emblemática da literatura e de um pensamento pós-moderno. A riqueza de imagens fotográficas do ambiente tropical da ilha de Saint Lúcia, no Caribe britânico, serve a uma nova versão da epopeia de Ulisses, na Odisséia de Homero, agora metamorfoseado na figura de um pescador negro solitário em busca de sua subsistência. Considerado por seus pares o maior poeta que a língua inglesa tem hoje, a literatura de Walcott contribui para a ampliação do diálogo inter e intra cultural na perspectiva da pesquisa histórica/literária/antropológica/sociológica.

Abstract
The book Omeros by poet Derek Walcott – 1992 Prize Nobel – is analyzed in this short text as an emblematic iconography of post-modern literature and reflection. The richness of pictures of tropical Saint Lucia Isle environment, in the West Indies, serves as a new version of epic poem Odyssey by Homero, which Ulysses is now metamorphosed in the character of a lonely black fisherman in search of his own-surviving. Considered by his pairs the most important poet of the English language nowadays, Walcott’s literature contributes to spread the inner- and outer-cultural dialogue in the historical/antropological/sociological research perspective.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
