Ideologías del Contacto Lingüístico en la ciudad de Oaxaca, México
No full textThe aim of this thesis was to understand how the uses, practices and performances of speakers of different linguistic codes (at least 16 indigenous languages, Spanish and English) come together and negotiate their space in the city of Oaxaca; which as the political capital of the state with the same name in Mexico, becomes a contact zone. In 1991, Mary Louise Pratt introduced the concept of the ‘contact zone’ to frame the studies of social spaces where people cultural, political, social and economic separated collide and create ongoing relationships marked by unequal power. This concept has proved its effectiveness in colonialist and postcolonial studies.Through the collection and analysis of biographical accounts, linguistic landscapes, articles in the media and field observations; it was possible to understand how the different linguistic codes gain their values under the lens of linguistic superdiversity (Blommaert and Rampton, 2011b), a frame that offers openness to different and varied expressions of the linguistic contact. The coexistence of a strong ideology of homogenization along a new one of diversity is the central part of the negotiation in this context. Inside this coexistence, there are sub-ideologies of hygiene (Cameron, 1995), standardization (Paffey, 2012) and territoriality (Heller, 2008) intersecting, naturalizing and normalizing the older ideologies by coercion and creation of imaginaries; in which the media and written forms appear to play a fundamental part. This thesis has been written in Spanish.Key words: Contact zone, Linguistic ideologies, Linguistic Superdiversity, Oaxaca, Mexico.En 1991, Mary Louise Pratt propuso el concepto de “zona de contacto” para enmarcar los estudios sobre espacios sociales en donde personas separadas cultural, política, social y económicamente colisionan y establecen subsecuentes relaciones marcadas por la asimetría de poder. Este concepto ha manifestado su pertinencia en situaciones de colonialismo y sus legados. El Objetivo de esta tesis fue comprender como los usos, prácticas y performatividades de los hablantes de los diferentes códigos lingüísticos que se dan cita en la ciudad de Oaxaca (por lo menos 16 indígenas, español e inglés) conviven y negocian su espacio dentro de estaAbstractciudad; que, al ser la capital política del estado del mismo nombre en México, se convierte en una zona de contacto.A través de la captura y análisis de relatos biográficos, paisajes lingüísticos, artículos en medios de comunicación masiva así cómo observaciones de campo, estoy tratando de demostrar que el despliegue de usos, prácticas y performatividades encontradas son producto de las ideologías existentes, analizadas bajo el lente de la superdiversidad lingüística (Blommaert and Rampton, 2011b); un referente que ofrece apertura a las muy distintas y variadas expresiones del contacto lingüístico. La coexistencia de una fuerte ideología de homogeneización lingüística junto a una reciente de diversidad es la parte central de la negociación que se da en este contexto. Dentro de esta coexistencia se encuentran inmersas sub-ideologías de estandarización (Paffey, 2012) y formas higiénicas (Cameron, 1995) así como de territorialidad (Heller, 2008) que se intersectan, naturalizan, normalizan y dan fuerza a ideologías más antiguas mediante la coerción y creación de imaginarios; en los que los medios de comunicación y formas impresas parecen jugar un papel muy importante. Esta tesis fue escrita en español.Términos clave: Zona de contacto, Ideologías, Superdiversidad Lingüística, Oaxaca, México
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
