Deidealized Models
No full textThis chapter analyzes how highly idealized theoretical models canbe deidealized. He argues that idealized models are built with a definite purpose andfor that reason, the advantages and disadvantages of idealizing depend essentially onthe specific purpose for which a given model is designed. As a consequence, evenwhen deidealization may be feasible, a cost–benefit analysis may suggest avoidingit. He exemplifies those circumstances with a study of deidealized models of theSolar System and physical pendula. He concludes that deidealization has not tobe conceived of as an end in itself, or as aiming at a veridical representation of thephenomena, but rather as ameans to other ends, such as obtaining better explanationsor predictions, or more generally, improving the expediency of our models to solvethe problems that originated their construction.Fil: Cassini, Alejandro Pablo F..

Theories, Models, and Scientific Representations
No full textAlejandro Cassini and Juan Redmond offer an elementary but fairly complete and extensive introduction to the present state of the philosophy of scientific models. It was written with the purpose of providing the readers an accessible account of the main topics that have been discussed and elaborated on by the most distinguished philosophers of science in the last two decades. It also provides a brief historical narrative of the rise and the early development of the philosophy on scientific models since the middle of the twentieth century.Fil: Cassini, Alejandro Pablo F..

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
