The Mexican Independence Historiography: a regional view
No full text[EN]This article focuses on the main historiographical trends on the Mexican process of independence since the middle of last century. In addition, a study of case is included to show the historiographical innovations because the interest woken up by local history. Concretely, we studied the case of Puebla in order to demonstrate that its participation in the process was tied not only to a longing of strengthening the local power opposite to the capital of the monarchy, but also for its opposition to the viceroyalty[ES] En este artículo se presentan las principales tendencias historiográficas que desde mediados del siglo pasado hay sobre el proceso de independencia mexicano. Además se incluye un estudio de caso para ejemplificar las innovaciones que se han producido en la historiografía gracias al interés despertado por la historia local. Concretamente, se estudia el caso de Puebla para demostrar que su participación en el proceso estuvo ligada no sólo a un anhelo de fortalecer su poder local frente a la capital de la monarquía sino también por su rivalidad frente a la capital del virreinatoPeer reviewe
Conflictos ambientales y conflictos ambientalistas en el México porfiriano / Environmental Conflicts and Environmentalist Conflicts in Porfirian Mexico
No full textEn estas páginas vamos a hablar de conflictos ambientalistas en perspectiva histórica. Se presentarán dos estudios de caso en torno al servicio público o privado del agua en la Ciudad de México y al abastecimiento de la misma desde el Desierto de los Leones durante el porfiriato. Las partes en el conflicto serán: los empresarios particulares, el gobierno del Ayuntamiento de la Ciudad de México, el gobierno del Distrito Federal y el poder central. Presentaremos el conflicto como una parte del enfrentamiento entre el poder local y el poder central en un momento crítico de la historia mexicana previo a la Revolución, e introduciremos en el debate la preocupación del momento por cuestiones ambientales. Producto de este enfrentamiento fueron las primeras leyes de protección ambiental entendidas como defensa de un “proyecto nacional” en el que se considera la defensa del medio ambiente como defensa del patrimonio de la nación. AbstractThis paper discusses environmentalist conflicts in a historical perspective. Two case studies will be presented on public and private water service in Mexico City and water supplies from Desierto de los Leones during the time of Porfirio Díaz. The parties in the conflict include: private entrepreneurs, the Mexico City Town Hall government, the Federal District government and central power. The conflict is presented as part of a confrontation between local and central power at a critical point in Mexican history prior to the Revolution and the debate will include environmental concerns of the time. This confrontation led to the first laws of environmental protection, understood as the defense of a “national Project” in which the defense of the environment is regarded as the defense of the nation’s heritage.</jats:p
El liberalismo, la creación de la ciudadanía y los Estados nacionales en el espacio atlántico (1787-1880)
No full textEste volumen recoge parte de los textos que se han discutido en el proyecto de investigación El liberalismo, la creación de ciudadanía y los estados nacionales occidentales en el espacio atlántico 1787 – 1880.
Los textos que aquí se publican tienen como misión realizar una reflexión en torno a los distintos países que conforman el área atlántica a fin de analizar las conexiones mutuas y recíprocas que se dieron entre ellos, para superar las visiones parceladas nacionales que hasta ahora han primado. Algunos lo hacen mediante una comparación de largo alcance y otros ocupándose de realidades geográficas concretas, pero siempre procurando tener en cuenta que formaban parte de un todo y que, por tanto, compartían experiencias y expectativasPeer reviewe
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
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
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
