Encomienda, poder y mestizaje. Aproximación a la trayectoria de dos encomenderos mestizos del Nuevo Reino de Granada en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI
Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la trayectoria de dos mestizos neogranadinos que llegaron a ocupar el cargo de encomendero en la provincia de Tunja en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, con el fin de conocer mejor el perfil de la élite social mestiza neogranadina y comprender las modalidades de acceso de esa categoría social a la encomienda, a partir del estudio de una documentación proveniente del AGN de Bogotá. Este trabajo pretende centrarse en los aspectos pragmáticos y concretos que permitían a un mestizo convertirse en encomendero, más allá de las cuestiones jurídicas. Así, se podrá dar más visibilidad a esa categoría social poco conocida y mostrar cómo algunos de ellos lograron ocupar posiciones de poder
Los primeros mestizos americanos: ¿un grupo social marginado? Defensa del protagonismo socio-político de la primera generación de mestizos del Nuevo Reino de Granada, siglos XVI-XVII
La historiografía americanista, todavía en fechas muy recientes, ha solido considerar que la trayectoria de los primeros mestizos americanos se caracterizaba frecuentemente por formas de marginalización. Sin embargo, en nuestro estudio de fondo realizado sobre el caso del Nuevo Reino de Granada entre 1537 y 1615, hemos comprobado que la tendencia dominante no correspondía necesariamente a esa visión tradicional, y que, al revés, su actuación socio-política se había caracterizado por un fuerte protagonismo en el siglo XVI. En el presente trabajo nos dedicamos a mostrar en qué consistió aquel protagonismo, para así matizar dos lugares comunes que se asocian a los mestizos: la idea de que no estaban bien integrados al grupo hispano-criollo, y la idea según la cual se mantuvieron por lo general en posiciones subalternas, desempeñando un papel histórico secundario. Por lo tanto, sostenemos aquí, al contrario de lo que se ha dicho, que los mestizos fueron auténticos miembros del grupo hispano-criollo y de sus redes de sociabilidad, llegando a ejercer mucho poder e influencia, principalmente por la posición intersticial que ocupaban.Americanist historiography, even very recently, has tended to consider that the trajectory of the first American mestizos was often characterized by forms of marginalization. However, in our in-depth study of the case of the New Kingdom of Granada between 1537 and 1615, we have found that the dominant tendency did not necessarily correspond to this traditional view, and that, on the contrary, their socio-political performance was characterized by a strong protagonism in the sixteenth century. In the present work we will show what that protagonism consisted of, in order to qualify two common places associated with the mestizos: the idea that they were not well integrated into the Hispanic-Creole group, and the idea that they were generally kept in subordinate positions, playing a secondary historical role. Thus, we show here, on the contrary, how they were generally authentic members of the Hispanic-criollo group and its sociability networks, and how they came to exert great power and influence due to the interstitial position they occupied
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
We 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
We 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
