En La Montaña Mágica: enseñar Derecho Internacional Público
Full text link"Simpson, Gerry, On the Magic Mountain: Teaching Public International Law, in European Journal of International Law, vol. 10 (1999), p. 70. Translated into Spanish by Brian Frenkel and Milton Fellay. The editors wish to thank the author and the original publishers for their generosity in allowing the translation and reproduction of the article." -- In this essay, the author identifies a malaise in the teaching of International Law stemming from the fear of being confined to the academic periphery. This fear grows from the feeling that lawyers who practice International Law are considered neither "real" lawyers by some of our colleagues in law schools, nor sufficiently knowledgeable about global realities according to some international relations scholars. The response to these fears entails a series of compromises between "legalism" and "realism." The consequences of these compromises include theoretical incoherence and the depoliticization of the subject matter. These theoretical shortcomings lead professors to a mode the author calls "romantic." The romantic mode is attractive but also superficial and ultimately threatens to further empty international law of its political content. The author suggests three possible solutions to these problems. The first is to adopt a more comprehensive theoretical approach to teaching international law. The second is to embrace a more explicit political method in which the teaching of international law becomes an imaginative act of dissent. Finally, the author suggests a way of teaching context that avoids what is described in this work as the romantic malaise.Fil: Simpson, Gerry. Australian National University. Facultad de Derecho.

Este temor crece de la sensación de que los abogados que se dedican al Derecho Internacional no son considerados ni como "verdaderos" abogados por algunos de nuestros colegas en las escuelas de leyes, ni lo suficientemente conocedores de las realidades globales de acuerdo a algunos académicos de las relaciones internacionales. La respuesta a estos miedos lleva consigo una serie de compromisos entre el "legalismo" y el "realismo." Las consecuencias de estos compromisos incluyen la incoherencia teórica y la despolitización del objeto de estudio. Estas fallas teóricas llevan a los profesores a un modo al cual el autor denomina "romántico." El modo romántico es atractivo pero a su vez superficial y finalmente amenaza con vaciar aún más al Derecho Internacional de su contenido político. El autor sugiere tres posibles soluciones a estos problemas. La primera, es adoptar un abordaje teórico más integral al enseñar el Derecho Internacional. La segunda, es abrazar un método político más explícito en donde la enseñanza del Derecho Internacional sea capaz de ser un acto imaginativo de disidencia. Finalmente, el autor sugiere una manera de enseñar el contexto que evita lo que se describe en este trabajo como el malestar romántico
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
