    Larger than Our Biologies: Identity and Consciousness in Contemporary Fiction

    No full text
    "Neurocultures" offers "glimpses" into an expanding universe of knowledge, beliefs and practices characterized by the conviction that human activity is governed by the structure and functioning of the brain. The book explores this universe in a broad range of fields, including neuroethics, psychoanalysis, cinema and literature. The impact of "neuroculture" on contemporary literature is analyzed in "Larger than Our Biologies: Identity and Consciousness in Contemporary Fiction". Valeria Gennero's essay focuses the emergence of "cerebral subjectivity" as a crucial feature of postmodern culture (and as a plot device) in recent novels by Richard Powers, David Lodge and Jonathan Franzen

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

El trabajo de campo a realizar es una actividad grupal que se propone múltiples objetivos. Por un lado, pretende favorecer la integración contenidos teóricos y su aplicación al abordaje e interpretación de una situación de la realidad. Asimismo, apunta a propiciar el desarrollo de competencias transversales muy requeridas en el mercado laboral de los profesionales en ciencias económicas, tales como el trabajo en equipo, la gestión de proyectos, las capacidades de análisis, síntesis y de comunicación, tanto oral como escrita.Fil: Jones, Carola.

Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas; Argentina.En el año 2015 se implementó por primera vez la "Guía para el Trabajo de Campo deTecno1". Se trata de un material didáctico sistematizado que tuvo un doble objetivo: por un lado, ofrecer un mayor andamiaje a los alumnos en la realización de un trabajo grupal que se desarrolla hace tiempo en la asignatura, y por otro lado, propiciar una mejor organización de tiempos y cargas de trabajo asociadas al seguimiento y evaluación del trabajo de campo entre las diferentes comisiones de prácticos. Para contar esta experiencia resumimos aquí los trabajos presentados en las Jornadas de Docentes Universitarios de Tecnologías de Información (DUTI) 2015 y 2016, en los cuáles analizamos la primera implementación de la Guía, describiendo los motivos por los que decidimos hacer la guía, los puntos que consideramos al elaborarla, cómo la implementamos y algunos de los resultados obtenidos.https://rdu.unc.edu.ar/handle/11086/6472Fil: Aronica, Sandra Fabiana.

    Variations on the Author

    “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 PDF
    We 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

    Get PDF
    We 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
