Manuela Sáenz en varios textos
No full textThis report is an attempt to analyze the narrative discourse order in the novel “La esposa del Dr. Thorne” (Dr. Thorne’s Wife) of the Venezuelan writer Denzil Romero, in the light of ¨Las cuatro estaciones de Manuela” (“The Four Seasons of Manuela”) of the American author Víctor W. von Hagen, and of “Manuela. Sus diarios perdidos y otros papeles”, (Manuela. Lost Diaries and Other Papers) of the Ecuadorian Carlos Álvarez Saá. This paper is a risky comparison between a book of fiction, presumably based on real facts, where Manuela’s eroticism is the central theme in Romero, the large literary chronicles issued by von Hagen and the compilation and discovery of alleged original and historic texts (letters and diaries) produced by Álvarez Saá. It is also a research exercise where, whimsically, what the official discourse says, as it may be viewed by the school of Venezuela or that of Quito, is mixed with the fictionalization of that discourse. It is, too, a possible vindication of Manuela Sáenz as a person and/or predominant character in the fights for the independence of America beyond her ¨circumstantial¨ relationship with Simón Bolívar. It is, to a certain extent, a look into how literary texts and the perceptions of history about a character (Manuela) tend to a “rearrangement” in present times and how there has been an attempt to consolidate the figure of Manuela Sáenz as a heroine, awarding a victory to what von Hagen calls “the school of Quito”.Si prese l’analisi dell’ordine discorsivo narrativo del romanzo dell’autore venezuelano Denzil Romero, La sposa del Dott.re Thorne, attraverso le comparazioni delle opere dell’autore statunitense Víctor W. Von Hagen, Le quattro stagioni di Manuela e dell’ autore ecuadoregno Carlos Álvarez Saá, Manuela, i suoi diari persi ed altre carte. È una comparazione azzardadata tra un libro di finzione, forse basato in fatti reali, dove l’erotismo della donna (Manuela) costituisce la tematica centrale, nell’opera di Romero, con la lunga cronaca letteraria che fa von Hagen e la compilazione e la scoperta di supposti testi originali e storici (lettere, diari) che fa Álvarez Saá. È un esercizio di ricerca dove si mescolano, in modo capriccioso, il campo d’attività del Venezuela o quello del Quito, e la finzione di quello ufficiale. È anche la rivendicazione possibile di Manuela Sáenz come persona e/o personaggio preponderante nelle lotte indipendentistiche dell’America che era aldilà della relazione congiunturale con Simón Bolívar. Si vuole vedere, fino a un certo punto, come i testi letterari e le percezioni della storia su un personaggio (Manuela) tendono a sistemarsi con i tempi attuali e come si ha voluto affiancare la figura eroica di Manuela Sáenz, concedendole il trionfo, forse secondo la tesi di von Hagen: quella che lui definisce la scuola di Quito.Se pretendeu analisar a ordem discursivo-narrativa do romance do venezuelano Denzil Romero, “La esposa del Dr. Thorne”, à luz das obras do americano Víctor W. von Hagen, ¨Las cuatro estaciones de Manuela” e do equatoriano Carlos Álvarez Saá, “Los diários perdidos de Manuela Sáenz y otros papeles”. Este trabalho é a comparação arriscada entre um livro de ficção, baseado aparentemente em fatos reais, no qual o erotismo da mulher (Manuela) é o tema central, em Romero, com a extensa crônica literária que lhe faz von Hagen e a recopilação e a descoberta de aparentes textos originais e históricos (cartas, diários) que faz Álvarez Saá. Também é um exercício de pesquisa em que, de maneira especial, se mistura o que diz o discurso histórico oficial, segundo seja visto pela escola da Venezuela ou a de Quito, com a visão dada pela ficção a esse discurso. É, ao mesmo tempo, um pouco a possível reivindicação de Manuela Sáenz como pessoa e/ou personagem preponderante nas lutas de independência da América que chegavam além do seu ¨controvertido¨ relacionamento com Simón Bolívar. É ver, de certa forma, como os textos literários a as percepções da história sobre uma personagem (Manuela) têm tendência a ¨se readaptar” nos tempos atuais e como se quis dar força à figura de heroína de Manuela Sáenz, dando uma vitória a ela na que, tal vez, von Hagen denomina “a escola de Quito”.Se pretendió el análisis del orden discursivo narrativo de la novela del venezolano Denzil Romero, “La esposa del Dr. Thorne”, a luz de las obras del estadounidense Víctor W. von Hagen, ¨Las cuatro estaciones de Manuela” y del ecuatoriano Carlos Álvarez Saá, “Manuela.

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.
