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
Argentina y negritud: desde la otredad radicalizada hacia discursos más igualitarios
No full textLa primera sección de este artículo recupera y analiza tanto el clima académico como la estructura de sentimientos emergentes en la última década del siglo XX que contribuyeron a la expansión de los estudios sobre la afroargentinidad hasta el momento presente. En la segunda parte apunto a la lógica negadora, fundamental para el principio constructivo del imaginario de la identidad nacional argentina y ejemplifico su aplicación en el mismo nombre del país. Destaco el valor de los capitales simbólicos perdidos con una de las primeras grandes figuras históricas de la tradición borrada (Joaquín Lenzina) y con una de las últimas (Gabino Ezeiza)

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
Imperialismo y representación: anotaciones en torno al "Coloquio re-pensar el imperialismo" (Buenos Aires, 2000) y Culturas imperiales
No full textEdificaciones reveladoras. Monumentos y « lugares de memoria » : configuraciones urbanas de conflictos latinoamericanos del siglo XXI
No full textAl tornarse hechos de « sentido común » el fin de la « Guerra Fría » y su promulgada caída de las mega-narrativas, los estudios culturales se abrieron al análisis de objetos y espacios extra-discursivos y ampliaron su densidad investigativa al momento de enfocar las disposiciones espaciales urbanas. El entramado citadino pasó a entenderse como un texto en el que podría leerse no solamente la condensación de las subjetividades ciudadanas locales y nacionales, sino también las identidades configuradas a escala global. El presente estudio se centra en los avatares político-ideológicos y las conformaciones estéticas que pueden cuestionarse a partir del reciclado del « Penal de Punta Carretas » como « Punta Carretas Shopping Mall » (Montevideo, 1994) ; el reemplazo del monumento a Cristóbal Colón por el de la heroína libertadora Juana Azurduy (Buenos Aires, 2015) y la articulación de la « Plaza de la Transparencia » (San Salvador, 2017).By becoming «common sense» the end of the «Cold War» and its promulgated fall of mega-narratives, Cultural Studies opened up to the analysis of extra-discursive objects and spaces and expanded their investigative density when focusing on urban spatial arrangements. The urban framework came to be understood as a text in which one could read not only the condensation of local and national citizen subjectivities, but also the identities configured on a global scale. The present study focuses on the political-ideological ups and downs and the aesthetic conformations that can be questioned from the recycling of the «Punta Carretas Prison» as «Punta Carretas Shopping Mall» (Montevideo, 1994); the replacement of the monument to Christopher Columbus for that of the heroine liberator Juana Azurduy (Buenos Aires, 2015) and the articulation of the «Plaza de la Transparencia» (San Salvador, 2017)
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
