Guaíra Publishing House in the Brazilian editorial market (1939-1961)
No full textEsta investigação propõe um estudo sobre os propósitos comerciais e culturais que nortearam o desenvolvimento de duas coleções de livros da Editora Guaíra Ltda., de Curitiba, ao longo dos anos 40 do século XX: a Coleção Estante Americana, composta por romances escritos por autores hispano-americanos e estadunidenses; e a Coleção Caderno Azul, de livros de pequeno formato e que abrangiam vários gêneros literários, desde pesquisas e ensaios até textos ficcionais. Pretende-se, assim, fazer o levantamento do repertório de textos colocados em circulação nos dois projetos. Antes disso, será realizada uma análise sobre as propostas editoriais fomentadas pelo jurista Oscar Joseph de Plácido e Silva, na capital paranaense, e que culminaram na fundação da Guaíra, nos últimos meses de 1939, e sobre o funcionamento da editora ao longo dos seus mais de vinte anos de atividade, para que se possa compreender como se deu a entrada da empresa no mercado brasileiro de livros e quais foram as transformações sofridas por esse projeto ao longo dos anos.This research aims to investigate the commercial and cultural aspirations that guided the creation of two book collections by Guaíra Ltd. Publishing House, from Curitiba, during the 1940s: the Estante Americana Collection, composed by novels written by Hispano-Americans and North-Americans writers; and the Caderno Azul Collection, consisting of pocket books that contained different literary genres, such as research, essays and fictional texts. Therefore, the intention is to provide a gathering of the repertoire of texts put in circulation with these two projects. However, to begin with, it will present an analysis about the editorial guidelines promoted by Oscar Joseph de Plácido e Silva, a jurist from the capital of Paraná, which led to the foundation of Guaíra Publishing House during the last months of 1939; and also about the functioning of the publishing house during more than twenty years of activity, in order to understand how the company was able to enter the Brazilian editorial market and the transformations to which the project was subjected throughout the years
Uma “arqueologia do boom” na Estante Americana, da Guaíra: romances hispano-americanos publicados por Jorge Amado e De Plácido e Silva
Get PDFThis article aims at shedding light on the conduits of circulation of cultural goods opened by Jorge Amado after his travel by the American countries in 1937 and which were reflected in the Estante Americana, an editorial collection created in 1940 by Editora Guaíra, Brazilian publisher founded in 1939 with headquarters in Curitiba. The main points addressed in this article refer to the analyses made by Amado about the continent's publishing markets and the works of the Hispanic American writers published in the editorial collection. The dissemination of the Pan American ideals and their reinterpretations during the period of the Estado Novo (1937-1945) will be also discussed. Finally, the specificities of the Hispanic American books published in the editorial collection, the place occupied by these works in their countries and their reception in Brazil will be presented.Este artigo lança luz sobre os canais de circulação de bens culturais abertos por Jorge Amado após sua viagem, em 1937, pelos países americanos e que se refletiram na criação, em 1940, da coleção Estante Americana, da Editora Guaíra, de Curitiba. Os principais pontos abordados neste texto se referem às análises feitas por Amado acerca dos mercados editoriais do continente e seu papel na escolha das obras de autores hispano-americanos que seriam publicadas na coleção. Em um segundo momento, são discutidas a disseminação dos ideais pan-americanos e suas reinterpretações durante o Estado Novo.

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
