    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

    Este artigo tem como objetivo mais amplo evidenciar a centralidade e as ressonância de “The Brazilian family”, de autoria de Antonio Candido (1918-2017), no interior de parte significativa de sua obra, seja no campo da sociologia, seja no dos estudos literários. Para tal, apresento e discuto os principais argumentos do artigo à luz da sondagem dos condicionantes familiares e sociais de Candido, do exame das injunções profissionais e acadêmicas com as quais ele se defrontou e, por fim, da possível atualidade de seu conteúdo.  The major aim of this article is to highlight the centrality and resonance of “The Brazilian family”, authored by Antonio Candido (1918-2017), within a significant part of his work, be it in the field of sociology or literary studies. To this end, I present and discuss the main arguments of the mentioned article in the light of Candido\u27s probing into family and social conditions, the examination of the professional and academic injunctions with which he was faced and, finally, the possible timeliness of its content

    Orientador: Heloisa Andre PontesTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências HumanasResumo: Esta tese tem como objetivo discutir as possíveis intersecções entre crítica literária e ciências sociais no conjunto da produção intelectual de Antonio Candido. Embora bastante comentada - ainda que, na maior parte das vezes, com intuito desqualificador -, são poucos os estudos que avançam na análise substantiva das implicações, efeitos e repercussões dessa estreita convivência entre as áreas de atuação, reflexão e pesquisa em que ele se dividiu ao longo de sua trajetória. Nesse sentido, pretendo contribuir para a ampliação de uma linha investigativa que pouca atenção despertou, mas que nos últimos anos vem recebendo contribuições significativas: a sondagem das conexões temáticas e desafios analíticos comuns que atravessam o conjunto da obra de Candido. Para tanto, selecionei parcela representativa de sua produção, no esforço mais geral de aprofundar-lhe a leitura e interpretação a partir de informações procedentes, de um lado, de sua experiência social e familiar, filiação política e percurso institucional, e, de outro, dos principais debates acadêmicos e intelectuais nos quais ele participou. Sua estrutura encontra-se dividida em duas partes: na primeira, o enfoque recai sobre os rodapés literários assinados por Candido na grande imprensa paulista, bem como parte expressiva dos livros deles derivados. Na segunda, a atenção se volta para dois de seus principais estudos literários, averiguando as repercussões no estudo analítico de clássicos do romance brasileiro de certas teses sociológicas defendidas pelo autor em seus escritos na área das ciências sociaisAbstract: This thesis aims at discussing the possible intersections between literary criticism and social sciences throughout the intellectual production of Antonio Candido. Although well commented - though, in most cases, in a rather disqualifying manner - there are few studies that advance in the direction of a substantive analysis of the implications, effects and impacts of this close interaction between the fields, reflections and researches to which he was dedicated along his trajectory. Accordingly, I intend to contribute to the expansion of a line of investigation that evoked scarce attention, but in recent years has been receiving significant contributions: a survey of the thematic connections and common analytical challenges that are found throughout the work of Candido. Therefore, I selected a representative portion of his production, in a broader effort to deepen its reading and interpretation, departing from information coming from his social and familial experiences, his political affiliation and institutional path, and, on the other side, major academic and intellectual debates in which he participated. This thesis is divided into two parts: first, the focus is on the literary footnotes signed by Candido in the main newspapers of São Paulo as well as a significant portion of his books thereof. In the second, the attention turns to two of his main literary studies by examining the effect of certain sociological theses defended by the author in his writings in the area of social sciences in the analytical study of classic Brazilian novelDoutoradoAntropologia SocialDoutor em Antropologia Socia

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We 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
