Giuliano Bobba, Nicolas Hubé (dirs), Populism and the Politicization of the Covid-19 Crisis in Europe
Full text linkLa crise sanitaire actuelle a-t-elle eu un impact sur l’agenda politique des partis politiques populistes européens ? Comme le remarquent Giuliano Bobba et Nicolas Hubé au début d’un récent ouvrage traitant cette question, il semble indéniable que la pandémie de Covid-19, qui continue à sévir à l’heure actuelle, a supposé une crise globale, sans précédent depuis environ un siècle. Cela dit, de quoi parle-t-on lorsqu’on se réfère à la pandémie comme à une « crise » ? Dans leur introduction, le..
Charisma and mimicry: an essay on the political anthropology of Roger Caillois
No full textTesis inédita de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de Filosofía, Departamento de Historia de la Filosofía, leída el 28/09/2016Esta tesis doctoral trata de ahondar la relación entre las nociones de carisma y mímesis en la obra del filósofo francés Roger Caillois. Inscribiendo su obra en continuidad con la de Marcel Mauss, vemos en Caillois una peculiar etnología de la división epistemológica del pensamiento occidental. En este sentido, esta investigación, de composición ensayística, interpreta el conjunto de la obra de éste como una crítica antropológica, en tanto que mueve las coordenadas de aparición del ámbito humano, de algunos de los fundamentos de la mitología política de nuestros tiempos. Poniendo en perspectiva la economía del poder que acompañó la generalización de la guerra como último tiempo sagrado de las sociedades occidentales, las teorías de Roger Caillois descentraron los grandes actores de la religión política mesiánica de la Modernidad: el amigo y el enemigo político como singularidades existenciales. La destrucción de la multiplicidad e inabarcabilidad de los fenómenos sagrados al paso de la especialización de las ciencias, a la vez que evacuó posibles lógicas del sentido autónomas de la racionalidad técnico-capitalista, confortó un tipo de autoridad al compás de aquel ritmo escatológico del mesianismo progresista: el poder carismático. Alejándose después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial de la retórica guerrera de sus años de juventud, Caillois pensaría la representación como mímesis y no como metaforización, en ruptura con el régimen estético carismático – la identificación y el reconocimiento – y uno de los pilares de su antropología política – la lucha a muerte entre el amo y el esclavo. Ambas habrían propiciado la teología política como salida privilegiada a la crisis del proyecto ilustrado. Negándose a articular un dualismo entre naturaleza y cultura para pensar el advenimiento de un mundo post-revolucionario, Caillois buscó más bien un principio de unidad capaz de vencer la imposición de la soberanía humana frente a la naturaleza, palpable en la doctrina del arte puro o en la extensión del género literario fantástico. Cuestionando las bazas de esta autonomía moderna humana frente al mundo, Caillois permitiría interpretar su aislamiento de la naturaleza como corolario de su cada vez más general enajenación de toda vida sagrada distinta de la identificación con un absoluto (llamémoslo el dios, el soberano, el amo o simplemente una autoridad trascendental). La conformación del individualismo moderno, entonces, habría propiciado la generalización del carisma como autoridad y como estética...This doctoral thesis explores the relationship between notions of charisma and mimicry in the work of French philosopher Roger Caillois. If we read his work as a continuation of Marcel Mauss, we find a peculiar ethnology of the epistemological division of western thought. In this respect, this research interprets the entirety of Caillois’s work as an anthropological critique insomuch as it shifts the coordinates of human appearance of some of the foundations of political mythology in our times. In the context of the economy of power that arose with the generalisation of war as the last sacred era in western societies, Roger Caillois’s theories displaced the main actors in the messianic political religion of Modernity: the political friend and foe as existential singularities. The destruction of the multiplicity and inaccessibility of sacred phenomena with the rise of specialisation in science ruled out the possibility of autonomous “logics of sense” of the technical-capitalist rationale, while it also revived an authority that was in step with the scatological rhythm of progressive messianism: charismatic power. After World War II, distancing himself from the warrior rhetoric that characterised his youth, Caillois perceives representation as mimicry and not metaphorisation, breaking with the charismatic aesthetic regime – identification and recognition – and one of the pillars of his political anthropology – the death struggle between master and slave. Both favoured political teleology as a privileged escape from the crisis of the enlightenment project. Refusing to adhere to the nature–culture divide in his approach to the advent of the post-revolutionary world, Caillois sought a principal of unity that was capable of overcoming the imposition of human sovereignty on nature, evident in the doctrine of pure art and the extension of the fantasy literary genre. In his questioning of the achievements of this modern human autonomy in the face of the world, Caillois interprets its isolation from nature as a corollary of its increasing alienation from all sacred life that differs from an identification with the absolute (whether god, the sovereign, the master or simply a transcendental authority). The structure of modern individualism at the time favoured the generalisation of charisma as authority and aesthetic...Depto. de Filosofía y SociedadFac. de FilosofíaTRUEunpu
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
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
