La enseñanza de la antropología en carreras de historia: análisis curricular y propuestas didácticas.
Get PDFEl presente trabajo fue realizado para finalizar una adscripción docente en el Instituto de Educación Superior Nº 29 “Galileo Galilei”, instituto público y estatal, de la provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina. La adscripción se realizó en la materia Fundamentos de Antropología y Sociología de la carrera de Profesorado de Historia. Es una materia del primer año, ubicada en el campo de la formación general del plan curricular. La particularidad de la experiencia fue que la profesora titular estuvo de licencia durante el primer año de la adscripción, y al inicio del segundo se reincorporó, modificando el programa académico.
El objetivo de esta ponencia es analizar las propuestas curriculares que realizaron las dos profesoras. El anclaje profesional de cada una dio un tinte teórico diferente a las clases, en tanto una es profesora de antropología y la otra profesora de historia. La respuesta a la pregunta acerca de qué es la antropología fue abordada, en un caso, desde la historia de la disciplina y, en el otro caso, desde el devenir histórico. Para dar cuenta de las diferencias se hará un análisis comparativo de las propuestas curriculares.
Como último paso del análisis, se hará un breve aporte pedagógico y personal a la didáctica interdisciplinaria de la antropología y la historia, de modo que resulte en herramientas para los docentes de ambas carreras.Fil: Shapiro,Judith.

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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
Mao's war against nature: Politics and the environment in revolutionary China
No full textMost environmental problems have roots in human relationships and are ultimately social, political, and cultural. Maoist China is an extreme example of human interference in the natural world during an era in which human relationships were unusually distorted. The period provides a transparent illustration of the relationship between human exploitation and environmental degradation, exemplifying the tragedy of this interface under extreme conditions.The environmental dynamics of Mao-era China illustrate a congruence between abuse of human beings and abuse of nature. Mao's "war against nature," revealed through interviews, newspaper and magazine articles, scholarly monographs, and books in Chinese and English, rested on four core themes around which this study is thematically and chronologically organized: political repression, utopian urgency, dogmatic uniformity, and forcible relocations. The study shows how each of four corresponding political campaigns---the Anti-rightist movement, the Great Leap Forward, the movements to "take grain as the key" and to "learn from Dazhai" in agriculture, and the relocation of youths to frontier areas to "open the wilderness"---damaged the natural world and caused human suffering.Studying the confluence of poor inter-human relations and poor human-nature relations in Maoist China has value for broader understanding of the relationship between social and environmental activity. Repression of expression and other intellectual freedoms, urgency to achieve progress, application of models that ignore local traditions or conditions, and disruption of connections to the land exacted an enduring toll on China's human and natural worlds. The negative example of the Mao years points toward the importance of political participation, public deliberation and oversight, intellectual freedom and rule of law, respect for regional variation and local wisdom, and land tenure systems that provide a sense of shared future with the land. These principles may not in themselves be sufficient to shift China or any other nation off a self-destructive path. Nevertheless, free speech, participation in land-use decision-making, civil protections and enforceable regulatory frameworks, and respect for learning and information are all necessary to foster environmentally responsible behavior and sustainable development.Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 60-07, Section: A, page: 2666.Advisors: Paul Wapner.Ph.D. American University 1999.Englis
