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
A cosmopolítica e o self dialógico
Full text linkCosmopolitics is growing as an alternative to identity battles, a critical form of cosmopolitanism. This contribution claims that such an alternative will only be feasible with individuals as dialogical selves. Ethnographic interviews with Muslims and Christians of different generations yield insights into their notions of personhood. Different notions of person are then checked against the new predicament of cosmopolitics in urban settings. The traditional notion of ‘full person’ can be distinguished from that of ‘partial persons’, subjacent to the views of the dialogical self. Educational and social benefits of the ‘partial person’ concept are outlined. Qualitative research into the perception of the person as a ‘partial person’ opens the way to an appreciation of the dialogical self approach, especially in the context of an ever more urbanized humanity. Against that background, cosmopolitics is being re-discussed as a possible avenue for a global society.Keywords: cosmopolitics, dialogical self, intercultural learning.A cosmopolítica, como uma forma crítica do cosmopolitismo, está crescendo como uma alternativa às lutas identitárias. Trata-se de uma alternativa que só será viável se os indivíduos se entenderem como selfs dialógicos. As entrevistas etnográficas realizadas com muçulmanos e cristãos, de diferentes gerações, forneceram insights sobre suas noções de personhood. Verificam-se noções inovadoras de pessoa diante da nova situação da cosmopolítica em ambientes urbanos. A noção tradicional de “pessoa plena” pode ser diferenciada da de “pessoas parciais”, subjacente às visões do self dialógico. No texto, é delineada a produtividade para os campos educacional e social do uso do conceito de “pessoa parcial”. A pesquisa qualitativa sobre a percepção da pessoa como “pessoa parcial” abre possibilidades para uma apreciação da abordagem dialógica do self, especialmente no contexto de uma humanidade cada vez mais urbanizada. Em oposição a esse cenário, a cosmopolítica volta a ser discutida como uma possível via para a sociedade global.Palavras-chave: cosmopolítica, self dialógico, aprendizagem intercultural
