De la naturaleza a la biojurídica
No full textThe article proposes a recovery of the philoso- phy of nature in a metaphysical sense as the basis for a foundation of biolaw. The reference author is Francesco D’Agostino, a recently deceased Italian legal philosopher and bioethicist: his cultural heritage is put into dialogue with the thought of other masters of contemporary phi- losophy, such as Sergio Cotta and Robert Spaemann. The essential thesis that emerges from the work is that only a metaphysically open conception of human nature is able to provide biolegal reflection with a solid foundation for the correct formulation and solution of the problems and challenges that current manipulative biotechnologies pose to us, avoiding both the forward escapes of posthu- manism and the theoretical surrender to technomorphic praxis.El artículo propone una recuperación de la filosofía de la naturaleza en un sentido metafísico como base para una fundamentación de la biojurídica. El autor de referencia es Francesco D’Agostino, iusfilósofo y bioéti- co italiano recientemente fallecido: su herencia cultural se pone aquí en diálogo con el pensamiento de otros maes- tros del pensamiento contemporáneo como Sergio Cotta y Robert Spaemann. La tesis esencial que se desprende del trabajo es que sólo una concepción metafísicamen- te abierta de la naturaleza humana es capaz de dotar a la reflexión biojurídica de una base sólida para la correcta formulación y solución de los problemas y desafíos que nos plantean las actuales biotecnologías manipuladoras, evitando, tanto la fugas hacia adelante del posthumanis- mo, como la rendición teórica a la praxis tecnomórfica
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
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
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
