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
Surcar la moral. Delirio de Laura Restrepo
Get PDFEste ensayo argumenta que en la novela Delirio (2004) de la escritora colombiana Laura Restrepo (1950), quien delira es el cuerpo social mismo y no el individuo y su psiquis —en el personaje de Agustina—. Para ello despliega tres ideas: el secreto como algo visible o sentido común; la ceguera moral de sus personajes como impotencia autoimpuesta, y el encierro como técnica social de sometimiento. Usa la pragmática literaria para proponer una lectura inmanente de la novela, es decir, interpreta el delirio desde el delirio mismo. A su vez, para describir a los personajes,recupera la tipología del esclavo de Nietzsche
Carlos Rincón y la crítica de la voluntad de verdad. Una pragmática de la crítica literaria
Get PDFEl artículo traza un panorama del estilo de trabajo desarrollado por el crítico colombiano Carlos Rincón. Sitúa su trabajo bajo una ética pluralista: el pragmatismo. La singularidad de la crítica literaria de Rincón radica en que está centrada en las operaciones y no en las esencias, propósitos o intenciones del sujeto; en los efectos y no en las causas de lo que acontece. Asimismo, la trayectoria intelectual de Rincón expresa una artesanía de la conjunción entre palabras, cosas y experiencias dispares, tejido que problematiza cualquier posibilidad de la verdad del sujeto y del texto como revelación o eternidad
Orlando Fals Borda: la conmoción del rostro de las ciencias sociales
Get PDFEl artículo presenta un retrato antibiográfco del sociólogo colombiano Orlando Fals Borda (1925-2008), enfocado, principalmente, en los efectos sociales de su pensamiento. Evita capturar su experiencia bajo el signo del “maestro”, con una herencia por legar.Por el contrario, inserta esa experiencia en procesos anónimos y colectivos, y narra un segmento de la transformación del semblante de las ciencias sociales en Colombia y parte de América Latina en el siglo XX
O desmoronamento da verdade social na Colômbia de Camilo Torres(ou, o sujeito como exceção)
Get PDFExiste algum momento em que não se sucumba à insinuação do Estado? Ou em termos mais precisos, é possível encontrar anomalias em processos tão avassaladores como o desejado advento do Estado secular? Em particular, no debate sobre a secularização e a socialização liberal do indivíduo, nos países da margem, predominam versões que postulam ditos processos como registros de tendências econômicas e avanços materiais e do movimento da consciência que conduzem à experiência “moderna”. Nossa inquietude, pelo contrário, é se é possível rastrear ali campos de experiência nos quais se abram possibilidades para a constituição subjetiva, distintas à unidade individual. Em suma, perguntamo-nos pela existência de práticas que, em países como o nosso, fazem que seja possível cumprir com o lema tão apreciado pelo indivíduo: “faz-te apreciar por teu amo o sufi ciente para que ele te liberte”
José Revueltas y Roberto Bolaño: Formas genéricas de la experiencia
Get PDFMy dissertation investigates the ways in which José Revueltas (México, 1914-1976) and Roberto Bolaño (Chile, 1953-2003) strive to communicate anti-humanistic social experiences in Chile and Mexico through three episodes: the Mexican Revolution; the 1968 revolts in Mexico; and the 1973 Chilean coup. I argue that Revueltas and Bolaño share a common project of recovering experiences, forgotten or ostracized, stigmatized as marginal to the history of nation-state consolidation often because of their cruelty. Both writers challenge us to confront these abject histories as a way of reimagining Latin American societies without self-indulgence or pity, signaling the exit from perennial debates about originality and deficit. In short, Revueltas and Bolaño offer an anti-exceptionalist literature for re-thinking Latin America in a global context. Each chapter of the dissertation is guided and modeled by a problem, and the criteria used for the texts chosen is hinged on their relationship to each problem. My inquiry was based on six problems: generic and non-territorial sovereignty; images of thought; right to cruelty and the arts of memory in Revueltas´ texts; non-psicological memory and thought; fascism and sadism; the transition from the letrado to the calculista, in Bolaño´s case
En el corazón de la modernidad: nihilismo en La vorágine de José Eustasio Rivera
Get PDFEste ensayo se distancia de las interpretaciones que presentan La vorágine de José Eustasio Rivera como novela de la tierra, o como síntoma del arcaísmo de la periferia. Sostengo que la novela de Rivera, lejos de inscribirse en las expresiones telúricas de la “novela terrígena,” o en los despotismos de lo arcaico al margen de lo civil, lo hace en los nervios de la experiencia moderna misma. Por ende, la vida de su personaje central, Arturo Cova, es el recorrido de la consumación del nihilismo
