    Cassandra Rios: divinas profanações

    No full text
    This paper aims to investigate the origins and developments of Cassandra Rios\u27 publishing and writing career, a writer known for the high number of works censored during the Brazilian military dictatorship. To that end, a brief overview of the book censorship activity during the military period was presented, as well as a closer look at the writer\u27s biography and cultural context. The main sources used to assess the reception of her work were articles published by journalists and newscasters in the newspapers O Pasquim, Correio da Manhã, Correio Braziliense and Diário de Pernambuco, O Dia and Correio Paulistano, among others. Lastly, the article proposes a reading of her 1980 novel Eu sou uma lésbica (I am a lesbian). Structured around the themes of child sexuality, podolatry, fetishism, pedophilia, incest and, of course, homoaffectivity, this novel was the last of her works to gain market circulation and offers important keys to reading the author\u27s work and reception throughout her career.Este trabalho se dedica a investigar as origens e os rumos da trajetória editorial de Cassandra Rios, pseudônimo de Odette Pérez Rios, escritora conhecida pelo alto número de obras censuradas durante o período da ditadura militar brasileira. Para tal, fez-se necessário apresentar um breve panorama da atividade censória de livros no período militar, e lançar um olhar mais detido sobre a biografia e o contexto cultural da escritora. Para avaliar a recepção de suas obras, consultou-se sobretudo a crítica expressa por periodistas e noticiaristas dos jornais O Pasquim, Correio da Manhã, Correio Braziliense e Diário de Pernambuco, O Dia e Correio Paulistano. Por fim, propôs-se uma leitura de Eu sou uma lésbica (1980), romance que, por ter sido o último de sua autoria a adquirir circulação mercadológica e estruturar-se em torno do tema da sexualidade infantil, da podolatria, do fetichismo, da pedofilia, do incesto e, claro, da homoafetividade, oferece importantes chaves de leitura para a obra e a recepção da autora ao longo de sua trajetória

    Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    The authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
