Los derechos humanos a través de la Historia
Estamos celebrando los 50 años de la Declaración Universal de los derechos humanos de la ONU. Se trata de un acontecimiento sin precedentes en la historia de la humanidad: al final de una guerra sangrienta y después de los horrores del fascismo y del nazismo, se consolida un consenso entre la mayoría de los pueblos de la tierra acerca de unos principios básicos que regulen la convivencia pacífica. Como un pequeño homenaje a esta celebración, se presentará por fascículos una breve historia de los derechos humanos, cuyo objetivo es el de esbozar la genealogía de este producto privilegiado de la modernidad, que se ha transformado de manera paulatina en un punto de referencia obligado y en un código de valores compartido por la humanidad en general. En esta primera entrega iniciamos el recorrido con las primeras formulaciones del ideal de dignidad humana en el humanismo y en el renacimiento, y con sus primeras aplicaciones prácticas en el encuentro con el nuevo mundo
Universidad, conflicto, guerra y paz
Quienes trabajan en instituciones universitarias están llamados a aportar ideas y propuestas, sustentadas en una reflexión sistemática, no meramente coyuntural, sobre conflicto, guerra y paz.

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
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
