“A história do Makunaima”: um estudo das relações entre humanos e outros-que-humanos.: The story of Makunaima”: a study of relations between humans and other-than-humans.
No full text“A história do Makunaima”, publicada no livro Panton Piá – a história do Makunaima (2019) faz parte do corpus de narrativas que apresenta a temática da metamorfose, circula na região Circum-Roraima e foi coletada e publicada por Devair Fiorotti. A pesquisa apresenta como objetivo geral discutir como se dão as relações entre humanos e os outros-que humanos que fazem parte da narrativa Panton Piá – a história do Makunaima. Ao se referir ao perspectivismo ameríndio, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro observa que as mitologias indígenas “são povoadas de seres cuja forma, nome e comportamento misturam inextricavelmente atributos humanos e não humanos, em um contexto comum de intercomunicabilidade idêntico ao que define o mundo intra-humano atual” (1996, p. 118), vindo daí a justificativa desta pesquisa que vai ao encontro da linha de pensamento de Viveiros de Castro, uma vez que a narrativa com a qual trabalhamos mostra as interrelações entre humanos e outros seres, que a cultura ocidental conhece como não humanos, como os animais, plantas e espíritos, os quais em alguns momentos da narrativa adquirem o caráter humano. A pesquisa será de cunho investigativo bibliográfico e interpretativo, baseando-se nos estudos de Viveiros de Castro (1996-2008-2011), Devair Fiorotti e Clemente Flores (2019), Emanuele Coccia (2020), etc
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
O abandono e o desrespeito na velhice: reflexões sobre o envelhecimento na obra A máquina de fazer espanhóis
Full text linkAccording to Zimerman (2007), worldwide as the years go by the number of old people increases. With the growth of the senile population, abandonment and disrespect of the elderly by society and, often, by their own family members also intensifies. In view of this phenomenon, the present article aims to reflect on the abandonment and disrespect of “old being” in the work The Machine for Making Spaniards, by Valter Hugo Mãe. This is a bibliographic research with a qualitative approach, whose theoretical reference is supported by Simone Beauvoir (1976) and (1990), Candido 2006, Mucida (2014), Netto (2007) and Zimerman (2007).De acordo com Zimerman (2007), no mundo todo, à medida que os anos vão passando, aumentam o número de velhos. Com o crescimento da população senil, cresce também o abandono e o desrespeito a pessoa idosa pela sociedade e, muitas vezes, pelos próprios familiares. Em vista disso, esse artigo objetiva refletir sobre o abandono e o desrespeito do “ser velho” na obra A Máquina de Fazer Espanhóis, de Valter Hugo Mãe. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, com abordagem qualitativa, cujo referencial teórico ampara-se em Simone Beauvoir (1976) e (1990), Candido 2006, Mucida (2014), Netto (2007) e Zimerman (2007)
