Ver, pensar e escrever com(o) um animal: devires do inumano na arte/literatura
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2014.Ver, pensar e escrever (com) o outro inumano é postular um pensamento em crise, no qual o homem não é mais a origem nem o fim. A literatura que evidencia essa crise e o seu diálogo com perspectivas antropológicas, estéticas e filosóficas não-antropocêntricas compõem o campo de análise provocado pela questão: pode a máquina literária (Deleuze) deter a máquina antropocêntrica (Agamben)? O percurso por uma rede de narradores de diferentes épocas busca um traço de animalidade no olhar e na escrita flâneur, desde que Restif de La Bretonne propôs, no século XVIII, a associação entre o repórter/narrador e o modo de uma ave noturna de enxergar as zonas de sombra das cidades. A constituição da categoria do narrador-coruja orienta uma cartografia denominada narrativas do escuro, que percorre diversas textualidades com a tarefa de testemunhar o desaparecimento dos povos humanos/inumanos diante dos olhos do contemporâneo (Didi-Huberman). A análise da relação privilegiada entre a escritura e o devir-animal e vegetal (Deleuze) sustenta a postulação do desaparecimento do autor (Barthes, Foucault) e do "sem-sujeito" derridiano como um lugar profícuo para a abertura ao outro inumano (Lyotard). Essa experiência é observada em uma rede de escrituras que salientam o inumano, sobretudo em Clarice Lispector, onde a instauração do it como uma pronominalidade neutra se conecta ao sentido de humanidade-todos dos povos ameríndios. O animal aparece não só como temática, mas principalmente como método, linguagem, perspectiva e plano de composição. Além dos romances clássicos da autora, a análise busca narrativas menos visitadas pela crítica literária, a exemplo do conto "A menor mulher do mundo" e das lendas indígenas brasileiras reunidas e recontadas no livro/calendário "Como nasceram as estrelas". A pesquisa aprecia o desencadeamento dos devires involutivos e minoritários e o modo fabular de narrativa, que reenvia para o mito da indiscernibilidade entre homens e animais. Também estabelece pontos de contato entre perspectivismo nietzschiano e perspectivismo ameríndio, xamanismo, antropofagia e etnologia da arte africana na análise do impacto entre corpos humanos e animais no corpo da escritura. Finalmente, postula, com Lyotard, a construção de uma sintaxe do inumano que opera no esgarçamento dos limites da linguagem e a liberta do modo frásico em que o sujeito é, desde sempre, dono do enunciado. Buscando transpor o mutismo inumano que se contrapõe como silêncio eloquente ao surdismo humano, essas narrativas remontam ao mito da indiscernibilidade entre homens e animais. Participam, dessa forma, da postulação de uma literatura do constrangimento que afirma, com Benjamin e Lévi-Strauss, um inconformismo político e estético em relação à incomunicabilidade entre os seres humanos, a natureza e as coisas.Résumé : Voir, penser et écrire lautre inhumain, c'est postuler une pensée en crise, dans laquelle l'homme n'est plus l'origine ni la fin. La littérature qui témoigne de cette crise, et le dialogue entre les perspectives anthropologiques, esthétiques et philosophiques non-anthropocentriques composent le champ d'analyse induit par cette interrogation: la machine littéraire (Deleuze) peut-elle "détraquer" la machine anthopocentrique (Agamben)? Le parcours effectué à travers un réseau de narrateurs de différentes époques cherche à mettre en évidence une dimension d'animalité dans le regard et dans l'écriture, à commencer par Restif de la Bretonne qui propose, au 18ème siècle, d'associer le reporter/narrateur à l'oiseau de nuit capable de voir l'invisible dans les zones d'ombre des villes. En constituant la catégorie du narrateur-hibou on dresse une cartographie des récits de l'obscur, qui parcourt différentes textualités en tentant de témoigner de la disparition des peuples humains/inhumains sous les yeux du contemporain (Didi-Huberman). L'analyse de la relation privilégiée entre écriture et devenir-animal et végétal (Deleuze) soutient le postulat de la disparition de l'auteur (Barthes, Foucault) et du «sans-sujet» (Derrida) comme lieu propice à l'ouverture à l'autre inhumain (Lyotard). Cette expérience est observée dans un réseau d'écritures qui mettent en relief l'inhumain, notamment chez Clarice Lispector, chez qui l'instauration du it comme pronominalité neutre est connectée à l'idée d'humanité interespèces des peuples amérindiens. Le thème de l'animal est abordé non seulement comme thématique, mais surtout comme méthode, langage, perspective et point de vue. Au-delà des romans classiques de cette auteure, l'analyse vise des récits moins visités par la critique littéraire, tel que la nouvelle «La plus petite femme au monde» et des légendes amérindiennes brésiliennes relues et racontées dans le livre-calendrier «Comment sont nées les étoiles». La recherche évalue l'enchainement des devenirs involutifs et minoritaires ainsi que le mode de la fable dans le récit qui renvoie au mythe de l'indiscernabilité des hommes et des animaux . Dans ce sens, la recherche établit également des points de contact entre le perspectivisme nietzschéen et le perspectivisme amérindien, chamanique, l'anthropophagie et l'ethnologie de l'art africain pour analyser l'impact de la rencontre des corps humains et animaux dans le corps de l'écriture. On évalue finalement la construction d'une syntaxe de l'inhumain, qui opère dans le déchirement des limites du langage et dans la libération par rapport au mode phrastique qui installe le sujet comme centre de la parole et maître du signifié. La surdité humaine en comparaison avec le mutisme animal, en tant que silence éloquent que ces récits et légendes visent à transposer, participe, avec Benjamin et Lévi-Strauss, au postulat d'une littérature de la gêne, qui affirme un non-conformisme politique et esthétique en relation avec l'incommunicabilité entre l'homme, la nature et les choses
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Estimating the spatiotemporal drivers of Hendra virus spillover in Australian flying foxes
No full textHendra virus (HeV) is a highly lethal bat-borne paramyxovirus, which emerged in
Australia in 1994 and has caused over 100 cases in horses. Spillover cases and virus
shedding from bats peak in winter, but a high variability between years and roosts have
been observed. Mechanisms and seasonal drivers responsible for inter-annual and
geographic differences in pathogen shedding this are still debated, and may include
temperature, food availability or loss of habitat.
With the present work we aim to gain further insight into viral dynamics in bat
populations and explore seasonal drivers responsible for spatiotemporal variations in
pathogen shedding. We built a set of compartmental models simulating HeV spread into
a wild bat population, and fitted them to longitudinal data of bat urine and serum
samples collected between July 2017 and September 2020 at two study roosts.
Our model provides new evidence supporting the hypothesis that bats can be
persistently infected with HeV and undergo seasonal cycles of reactivation with active
shedding. In addition, we quantify variations in key epidemiological parameters
between years and between sites. This work lays the ground for improved ability to
predict zoonotic spillover risk, providing a template for other bat-borne viruses
Découverte de la femelle et nouvelles localisations d'Osmoderma sikhotense Boucher (Coleoptera, Cetoniidae)
No full textDiscovery of the female and new places of Osmoderma sikhotense Boucher (Coleoptera, Cetoniidae). Two males and one female of Osmoderma sikhotense Boucher, 2002, are examined and compared with the unique male type. The morphological characters separating the female from the male and from the female of O. barnabita Motchoulsky, 1845, are described. New localities for O. sikhotense confirm the endemism of the species in the Mounts Sikhote-Aline (Far East Russia) and the littérature suggests a possible confusion with O. barnabita.Deux mâles et une femelle d'Osmoderma sikhotense Boucher, 2002, sont examinés et comparés au type unique mâle. Les caractères morphologiques qui séparent la femelle du mâle d'une part, et de la femelle d'O. bamabita Motchoulsky, 1845, d'autre part, sont décrits. De nouvelles localités confirment l'endémisme d'O. sikhotense aux monts Sikhote-Aline (Russie extrême-orientale) et la littérature suggère une probable confusion ancienne de l'espèce avec O. barnabita.Boucher Stéphane, Montreuil Olivier, Le Restif Alain.
