A ameaça da democracia: um percurso de Platão a Ranciére
Full text linkEste artículo explora el rechazo a la democracia como forma de gobierno desde la teoría política clásica hasta la teoría política moderna, y cómo ese rechazo ha resultado en versiones más o menos elitistas que tienden a distanciar la universalidad de la condición de electores con relación a las restricciones que operan sobre los elegidos. Se exploran las versiones de republicanismo restringido, desde Aristóteles hasta Maquiavelo, como solución a los problemas de la demagogia y que ilustran los debates sobre el populismo. También se explora el potencial revolucionario del ideal de la igualdad política, tal como fue planteado por Aristóteles, Tocqueville y Rousseau. Finalmente, el trabajo cierra con el debate de Rancière en referencia a Platón sobre el «odio a la democracia».This article explores the rejection of democracy as a form of government from classi-cal to modern political theory, and how this rejection has resulted in more or less elitist versions that tend to distance the universality of the condition of electors in relation to the restrictions that operate on those who are elect. Versions of restricted republicanism, from Aristotle to Machiavelli, are explored as a solution to the problems of demagogy, and which illustrate the debates on populism. The revolutionary potential of the ideal of political equality, as formulated by Aristotle, Tocqueville, and Rousseau, is also explored. Finally, the work closes with Rancière’s debate in relation to Plato, about the «hatred of democracy».Este artigo explora a rejeição da democracia como forma de governo desde a teoria política clássica até a teoria política moderna, e analisa como essa rejeição resultou em versões mais ou menos elitistas que tendem a distanciar a universalidade da condição de eleitor em relação às restrições que operar sobre os eleitos. Versões do republicanismo restrito são exploradas, de Aristóteles a Maquiavel, como solução para os problemas da demagogia, e que ilustram os debates sobre o populismo. O potencial revolucionário do ideal de igualdade política, conforme proposto por Aristóteles, Tocque-ville e Rousseau, também é explorado.

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
Political right, religious actors and conservative project in Uruguay: the agenda anti gender at the core
Full text linkUruguay, al igual que otros países de la región, experimentó una regresión política conservadora luego de quince años de gobiernos progresistas, con un gobierno de corte neoliberal, que ha impulsado una estrategia provida, y con una presencia inédita de personalidades vinculadas a los ámbitos religiosos y militares. Los movimientos y políticas antifeministas en Uruguay cobraron nuevo ímpetu con el cambio de gobierno en 2020, logrando impulsar cambios discursivos y legales. En el centro del discurso y las propuestas aparece el fortalecimiento de la familia tradicional, la masculinidad hegemónica y la limitación de los derechos referidos a la salud sexual. El artículo examina la implantación del proyecto conservador en Uruguay en dos niveles de acción: en la promoción de normativa legal con contenido antifeminista, y en la legitimación de discursos antigénero por un lado. Por otro, se estudia la articulación de actores sociales, políticos y religiosos que se produce en torno a esta agenda, a nivel nacional y en su articulación transnacional. Ambos niveles de acción se articulan en políticas públicas que se impulsan desde el Poder Ejecutivo en ministerios claves como salud pública y desarrollo social.Uruguai, assim como outros países da região, experimenta uma regressão política conservadora após quinze anos de governos progressistas, com um governo neoliberal, que promoveu uma estratégia pró-vida, e com uma presença sem precedentes de personalidades ligadas aos campos religioso e militar. Os movimentos e políticas antifeministas no Uruguai ganharam impulso com a mudança de governo em 2020, promovendo mudanças discursivas e jurídicas. No centro do discurso e das propostas aparecem o fortalecimento da família tradicional, a masculinidade hegemônica e a limitação de direitos relacionados à saúde sexual. O artigo examina a implementação do projeto conservador no Uruguai em dois níveis de ação: na promoção de regulamentações legais com conteúdo antifeminista, e na legitimação de discursos antigênero, por um lado. Por outro lado, estuda-se a articulação de atores sociais, políticos e religiosos que ocorre em torno desta agenda, a nível nacional e na sua articulação transnacional. Ambos os níveis de atuação estão articulados em políticas públicas promovidas pelo Poder Executivo em ministérios-chave como saúde pública e desenvolvimento social.Uruguay, like other countries in the region, experienced a conservative political regression after fifteen years of progressive governments, with a neoliberal government, which has promoted a pro-life strategy, and with an unprecedented presence of personalities linked to the military and religious arena. Anti-feminist movements and policies in Uruguay gained new impetus with the change of government in 2020, managing to promote discursive and legal changes. At the center of the discourse and proposals appears the strengthening of the traditional family, hegemonic masculinity and the limitation of rights related to sexual health. The article examines the implementation of the conservative project in Uruguay at two levels of action: in the promotion of legal regulations with anti-feminist content, and in the legitimization of anti-gender discourses on the one hand. On the other hand, the articulation of social, political and religious actors that occurs around this agenda is studied, at the national level and in its transnational articulation. Both levels of action are articulated in public policies that are promoted by the Executive Branch in key ministries such as public health and social development
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
