Art and Nature: Frans Krajcberg\'s sculpture
No full textO presente trabalho aborda parte da vida e a obra do artista Frans Krajcberg (1921, Polônia - 2017, Brasil), judeu não ortodoxo, que atuou como soldado combatente durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e posteriormente, no Brasil, tornou-se um artista ambientalista. O tema escolhido para a presente tese origina-se na busca pela compreensão da importância da produção de Frans Krajcberg a partir de troncos, raízes, cascas e partes de árvores calcinadas. O objetivo geral desta tese é demonstrar a importância da produção escultórica de Frans Krajcberg como instrumento de conscientização da civilização contemporânea na conservação do bioma Amazônia. Tem como objeto de estudo o conjunto de esculturas expostas na 32ª Bienal de São Paulo, analisado do ponto de vista da estética. A trajetória percorrida para chegar ao objeto de estudo teve por base a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, para o levantamento de dados históricos com início na década de 1950 até a década de 1980, período que revela a importância do encontro de Frans Krajcberg com a paisagem natural do Brasil amazônico e para o seu desenvolvimento como artista ambientalista e que culminou com a produção das esculturas expostas na 32ª Bienal de São Paulo.This work addresses the life and work of the artist Frans Krajcberg (1921, Poland - 2017, Brazil), an unorthodox Jew, who served as a combatant soldier during World War II and later, in Brazil, became an environmental artist. The theme chosen for the present thesis originates in the search for understanding the importance of Frans Krajcberg\'s production from trunks, roots, barks and parts of calcined trees, as an instrument to awaken the environmental awareness of humanity especially directed to the conservation of the Amazon biome, focusing on the set of sculptures exhibited at the 32nd Bienal de São Paulo, this set of sculptures being the object of study of this thesis to be analyzed from the point of view of aesthetics and politics. The trajectory to reach the object of study was based on bibliographic and documentary research, for the collection of historical data from the 1950s to the 1980s, because it is the period that reveals the importance of Frans Krajcberg\'s meeting with the natural landscape of Amazonian Brazil and for its development as an environmental artist that culminated in the production of sculptures exhibited at the 32nd Biennial of Sao Paulo

Get PDFO presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar um levantamento quantitativo e qualitativo das obras escultóricas a céu aberto, que integram o universo do património do campus \"Armando de Salles Oliveira\", também conhecido como campus Butantã, da Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Foram levantadas informações a respeito do local onde se encontram estas obras e, em seqüência, situada a escultura no panorama histórico como uma das possíveis representações da manifestação artística. Após a realização da catalogação das obras escultóricas a céu aberto existentes no campus, deu-se início a organização dessas informações para a apresentação de um inventário referente a esse acervo. As obras escultóricas localizadas no campus podem ser identificadas como a materialização de um pensamento modernista ou pós-modemista de ocupação do espaço externo pela arte, revelando as relações entre as obras escultóricas, o espaço onde se encontram e como estão sendo cuidadas pela atual administração do campus.This work\'s purpose is to show our study about the quantity and the quality of the sculptural art placed outside the buildings of the campus \"Armando de Salles Oliveira\", also known as campus Butantã of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP). We collected Information about the places where these works are placed and then, we situated the sculptures\' informations in the historical background as one possible representation of the artistic expression. After we catalogued the sculptural works existing in the campus, we organized these data for a presentation of an inventory about the collection. The sculptural works in the campus might be identified as a materialization of a modemist or even postmodemist thought that occupied the externai space for the art, revealing the relation between these sculptural works, the space where they were placed and the care they have been receiving from the campus administration
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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 PDFWe 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
