Decolonising Cape Verdean Soul: Resistance, Emancipation and Identity in Corsino Fortes’ Poetry
No full textAn undeniable point of reference in Cultural Studies1,Stuart Hall (1990, p.222) states that “cultural practices of representation always imply aposition from which one speaks or writes,” which the Jamaican authorrefers to as “positions of enunciation.” The identity issue from which thesubject of enunciation, a victim of colonization, positions itself, isconstrained by the “colonial experience” (1990, p. 224). More than merelyrecovering lost time, the question of identity is related to how we positionourselves in relation to the narratives of the past (1990, p. 223).Only in this way, as Hall suggests, can we understand the traumaticnature of that experience (1990, p. 225). The European presence in Africa,with its power and domination, culturally “expropriated” the “other,”converting it into something marginal and peripheral, imposing upon it aculture that becomes a constitutive element of its identity (1990, p. 233).Here lies the ambivalence of “colonial expropriation,” resulting in adialectic of power and resistance, rejection, and recognition. Creolisationor cultural miscegenation is an example of this, manifesting itself inlanguage and cultural representations. In this sense, the African continentrepresents the great aporia of cultural identity (1990, p. 234).

Preface
No full textThe Iberian Peninsula, home to modern-day Spain and Portugal, serves as a crossroads of regional, international, and transatlantic relations. The peninsula plays a pivotal role in shaping global interactions through its cultural exchanges and geopolitical alliances. This continues to influence global politics, economics, and cultural identity, making the study of Iberia’s relationships crucial to understanding global trends. By examining its connections across Europe, Africa, the Americas, and beyond, researchers may gain insight into how the Iberian Peninsula shapes and is shaped by the world.
Regional, International, and Transatlantic Relations From the Iberian Peninsula to the World explores memory politics and historical revisionism, focusing on dictatorships, migrations and exiles, as well as cross border dialogues between communities within the Iberian Peninsula. It examines international relations, centering on the Anglo-Iberian contacts and influences in the political, historical and cultural domains, and on transatlantic studies in North and South America. This book covers topics such as diplomacy, regional development, and nationalism, and is a useful resource for business owners, historians, government officials, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and scientists
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

Get PDFEste ensaio pretende refletir sobre o imaginário e representação do Brasil em Leonardo Coimbra, problematizando, por um lado, esta área de estudo, que nas últimas décadas tem testemunhado um impulso considerável, e, por outro lado, aprofundar as efetivas relações culturais do autor com a intelectualidade
brasileira. O pensador da Renascença Portuguesa constrói uma hermenêutica utópica das terras de Vera Cruz, na sua configuração geográfica, histórica e social ao mesmo tempo que contribui, como agente cultural, para uma efetiva aproximação luso-brasileira.This essay intends to reflect on the imaginary and representation of
Brazil in Leonardo Coimbra, problematizing, on the one hand, this area of study,
which in the last decades has witnessed a considerable impulse, and, on the other
hand, to deepen the author 's effective cultural relations with the Brazilian
intelligentsia. The Renascença Portuguesa’s thinker constructs a utopian
hermeneutics of the lands of Vera Cruz, in its geographic, historical and social
configuration, while contributing, as a cultural agent, to an effective PortugueseBrazilian approach.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
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
Diálogo ibérico en torno a Don Quijote: Miguel de Unamuno y el movimiento cultural de la Renascença Portuguesa
Get PDFEn las fructíferas relaciones luso-españolas de la década de los veinte, donde se operaban redes transnacionales de conocimiento, Miguel de Unamuno se convierte en una referencia filosófica y literaria para los jóvenes republicanos, lusistas y sebastianistas portugueses del grupo de la Renascença Portuguesa (1912-1936) que buscaban un renacimiento político, cultural y literario para Portugal.
En este artículo nos ocuparemos de la imagen y recepción del quijotismo de Miguel de Unamuno en el movimiento cultural de Oporto. La interpretación unamuniana del Quijote, en Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho y en Del sentimiento trágico de la vida tendrá un profundo impacto en los ideólogos de la Renascença Teixeira de Pascoaes y Leonardo Coimbra cuyo diálogo se convertirá en un aporte inestimable para la concreción de un pensamiento intuitivo, existencial y pedagógico centrado en el perfeccionamiento del hombre ibérico y universal.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
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
