    Por uma moral da ambiguidade: a liberdade como fundamento ético em Simone de Beauvoir

    No full text
    Esta monografia tem como centralidade a ética de Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986), filósofa francesa existencialista, romancista, ateia, intelectual e teórica feminista. Especificamente no que diz respeito à liberdade, Beauvoir traz em seu livro por uma moral da ambiguidade [1947] o cerne de suas investigações, o texto está inserido na primeira fase de sua filosofia. A tese central deste livro, qual é o objeto de estudo desta pesquisa, já nos dá indícios do que pretende Beauvoir em sua ética, que é o de afirmar que há uma ligação do eu-outro, e afirmar essa ligação permite com que se criem leis que abarquem suas subjetividades dentro do coletivo. A liberdade que a autora buscou não só teorizar, mas vivê-la, tem como pressuposto primeiro a ideia de ambiguidade: a condição humana. A autora procura esmiuçar o que entende por essa ambiguidade, o que é necessário para conquistar a liberdade através da aceitação dessa condição humana, os próprios limites que tanto a ambiguidade quanto a liberdade possuem e qual o papel de conquistar a liberdade em um mundo mergulhado na má-fé, na realidade dada e na tentativa de transferir a responsabilidade das ações para o plano metafisico. A transcendência de si no mundo é justamente a aceitação da ambiguidade dessa condição humana que se firma no solo do desvelamento do Ser e do Mundo, tudo isso para que possa viver numa vida autêntica e livre sendo este o fim último de sua filosofia

    This dissertation investigates the historical, political, and intellectual trajectories through which the concept of intersectionality has been received and debated in Brazil. Anchored in the methodology of Intellectual History (Tarcus, 2018), combined with quantitative bibliometric approaches (Ribeiro, 2017; Chueke & Amatucci, 2015; Medeiros & Vitoriano, 2015), the research maps the agents, publications, and academic journals that have contributed to the incorporation of this concept into Brazilian Social Sciences over the first two decades of the 21st century.It is argued that the social issues named by the term "intersectionality" predate its formal introduction by Kimberlé Crenshaw (1959–) in 1989, both in the United States and in Brazil. The hypothesis advanced is that the enactment of Brazil’s affirmative action law (Law 12.711/2012) fostered a broader use of the concept, as it enabled the entry and consolidation of new political subjects within public institutions. This dynamic, in turn, has influenced epistemological shifts within universities and shaped the ways in which the concept has been translated and re-signified in the Brazilian academic context (Cruz, 2024; Areco & Aliaga, 2023).Empirical data reveal a marked increase in the use of "intersectionality" in articles published in Brazilian academic journals from 2014 onward, especially among researchers in the field of Social Sciences. The concept remains subject to ongoing debate, particularly as scholars engage with the specificities of the Brazilian context — including critiques advanced by Black feminists and intellectuals regarding the myth of racial democracy and its role in sustaining exclusionary stereotypes.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESA presente dissertação tem por objetivo averiguar como ocorreu o processo histórico, político e intelectual de recepção do conceito de interseccionalidade no Brasil, a partir da metodologia da História Intelectual (Tarcus, 2018) atrelada à metodologia quantitativa bibliométrica (Ribeiro, 2017; Chueke; Amatucci, 2015; Medeiros; Vitoriano, 2015), analisando por quais agentes, obras e periódicos ele passou a ser discutido nas Ciências Sociais brasileiras nas primeiras duas décadas do século XXI. Defendemos que o “problema” que a interseccionalidade nomeia tanto nos Estados Unidos, quanto no Brasil, é anterior ao ano de 1989, ano que foi elaborado por Kimberlé Crenshaw (1959-), jurista, feminista e estudiosa da teoria crítica de raça norte-americana. Afirmamos a hipótese de que a partir da lei de cotas 12.711 de 2012 houve um aumento no uso do conceito, e que isso tenha ocorrido pela inserção e expansão de novos agentes políticos nas instituições públicas que reverberou, em certa medida, nas transformações das epistemologias dentro da universidade e que impactou na tradução (Cruz, 2024; Areco; Aliaga, 2023) do conceito no país. Os dados mostram que a partir de 2014 houve um aumento do uso da interseccionalidade nos artigos publicados nos periódicos brasileiros feitos por pesquisadoras (es) das áreas de atuação das Ciências Sociais e que o mesmo apresenta-se em disputa. Esses pesquisadores trazem aspectos da realidade brasileira, tais como a perspectiva das feministas e intelectuais negras sobre o mito da democracia racial que as afeta de modo particular na construção de estereótipos excludentes

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    No full text
    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
