Nós e os outros humanos, os animais de estimação
Full text linkTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social.A humanização dos animais, especialmente aqueles de estimação, é tema corrente em nossos dias. Ela é motivo de reportagens, debates envolvendo economistas, psicólogos, juristas, médicos, religiosos, filósofos ou antropólogos, como também o é para a expansão de mercados, para investimentos políticos ou para inspiração artística. Mas como é produzida a humanidade desses animais? Quando ou até onde eles são humanos? O objetivo dessa tese é de fazer aparecer essas negociações e limites, sustentando que o que tratamos por humanização dos animais não se nutre simplesmente da equivalência de elementos culturais - como os nomes humanos, as roupas, os cuidados, o fato de viverem nos mesmos lares ou de motivarem discussões sobre alguns direitos e moralidades. Igualmente, ela se nutre daqueles elementos que imputamos ao domínio da natureza, como alguns instintos que precisam ser modulados ou uma biologia equivalente que permite o diagnóstico de problemas orgânicos e a sua medicalização. Assim, as reflexões que aqui se apresenta, resultam de uma etnografia que inclui desde a literatura antropológica sobre o lugar ou estatuto dos animais e suas relações com os humanos, até um trabalho de campo que consistiu em seguir médicos veterinários no seu exercício profissional, a partir de uma pet shop com clínica veterinária.The animal humanization, of pets in particular, is a current topic today. It is the subject of broadcasts, debates involving economists, psychologists, lawyers, doctors, clergy, philosophers and anthropologists, and has became a driver for the expansion of markets, investment policy and artistic inspiration. But how is the #humanity# of these animals produced? When or how far are they human? The aim of this thesis is to bring up these negotiations and limits, arguing that what we address as humanization of animals is not only nurtured of the equivalence of cultural elements - such as human names, clothing, care, the fact that they live in the same households or for motivating discussions on some rights and morals. Likewise, it#s nurtured of those elements that we attribute to the field of nature, as some instincts that need to be modulated or an equivalent biology that allows the diagnosis of organic problems and their medicalization. Thus, the reflections presented here are result of an ethnography that ranges from the anthropological literature regarding the location or status of the animals and their relationships with humans, to a fieldwork consisted of following veterinarians in their professional endeavors, in pet shops comprising veterinary clinics
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
Covid-19 en Améfrica Ladina: desigualdad social y pandemia
Full text linkLo que hace que la pandemia de COVID-19 no tenga precedentes no es el virus, sino las políticas que se implementaron para contener los contagios (traducción propia de Caduff, 2020: 476). Considerando la escala de propagación y letalidad entonces estimada de la enfermedad, así como la magnitud del pánico y el alcance de las respuestas necesarias, la lectura que se impuso, en momentos de alto dramatismo, fue que la salud global dependía de que cada estado afrontase la situación fronteras adentro. Al punto que Ecks (2020) ha planteado el nacimiento de una biopolítica radical, en la que se requirió en consenso moral supranacional mundial que los estados copiaran entre sí estrategias más o menos temerarias de control sobre la circulación y la vida social en colectivo (Ferguson et al., 2020). A pesar de que estrategias basadas en el testeo masivo y rastreo de contactos estrechos fueron valoradas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud, las opciones por “intervenciones no farmacológicas”, como los lockdowns, se propagaron entre países. Ello ocurrió, sin evidencias científicas suficientes y sin considerar sus consecuencias sociales, políticas y económicas; cuestión que tendió a agravar la situación con la implementación de versiones nacionales de las políticas de prevención en sociedades altamente desiguales como las que nos ocupan (Caduff, 2020: 470).Fil: Mastrangelo, Andrea Veronica.

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
