Violência, ordem democrática e direitos humanos na América Latina Violence, democratic order and human rights in Latin America
No full textExamina-se, da perspectiva das organizações não-governamentais, como devem ser consideradas as diversas formas de violência que têm impacto sobre os direitos humanos na América Latina, com destaque para a violência estatal e paraestatal, das guerrilhas, do narcotráfico e da criminalidade comum. O autor argumenta que a idéia da violação dos direitos humanos deve ser reservada à ação de agentes públicos. Violências praticadas por agentes não estatais devem ser vistas sob uma ótica distinta.The question of how to take account of the various forms of violence with an impact on human rights in Latin America is asked from the standpoint of non-governmental organizations. The author argues that the idea of violation of human rights should be restricted to the action of public agents. Violence inflicted by non-state agents should be viewed from a different angle
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Justicia básica procedimental: herramienta de transición hacia sociedades mínimamente decentes
Full text linkFrom the reconstruction of the approaches of Rodrigo Uprimny, Rajeev Bhargava and Stuart Hampshire on transitional justice models, it will be posed that the minimally decent society concept, coined by the second author, sheds new lights on the discussions about better model to be implemented in societies with humanitarian crises. Intertwine the arguments of these authors could allow us extend the scope of application of transitional justice to diverse contexts, say from dictatorship to democracy, from war to peace, or from barbaric society to minimally decent one.A partir de la reconstrucción de los planteamientos de Rodrigo Uprimny, Rajeev Bhargava y Stuart Hampshire sobre los modelos de justicia transicional, se planteará que el concepto de Sociedad mínimamente decente, acuñado por el segundo autor, arroja renovadoras luces sobre la discusión del mejor modelo a implementar en sociedades con crisis humanitarias. Entrelazar los argumentos de estos autores podría permitirnos extender el alcance de aplicación de la justicia transicional a diversos contextos, dígase de la dictadura a la democracia, de la guerra a la paz, o de una sociedad bárbara a una mínimamente decente
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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

We Want What’s Ours : Learning from South Africa’s Land Restitution Program.
No full textEn el libro ¡Queremos lo nuestro!, la profesora Bernadette Atuahene desarrolló por primera vez, de manera sistemática, los que se han convertido en sus aportes conceptuales más relevantes en la literatura relacionada con el tema de las expropiaciones y lo referente al movimiento de derecho y sociedad en Estados Unidos. Se trata de los conceptos «expropiación de la dignidad» y «restauración de la dignidad». La autora usa un amplio y detallado trabajo de campo en ciudades de Sudáfrica y logra mostrar que la expropiación de la que fueron víctimas miles de personas durante el apartheid, además de despojarlas de su propiedad, las privó de su dignidad. Aunque múltiples regímenes constitucionales amparan las expropiaciones que llevan a cabo los Estados con el objetivo de alcanzar fines importantes y legítimos, cuando estas deshumanizan o infantilizan a quienes las padecen, debe otorgarse un remedio que permita restaurar la dignidad «expropiada». Dicho remedio, de acuerdo con la profesora Atuahene, debe ir más allá de la compensación económica y permitirle a la persona despojada convertirse en parte de la comunidad política con voz y agencia [Rodrigo Uprimny y Diana Esther Guzmán].CONTENIDO: Prólogo.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
