Every early modern author has his ideosyncracies, no two books translate into the digital format alike. But the experience in converting the seven print volumes of Luis de Molina’s De Iustitia et Iure into a digital edition (still a work in progress)

Love Your Data blog series explains the main concepts of research data management (RDM) and their practical application to legal historical research. In the previous blog posts we discussed what RDM is, what is isn’t, and what advantages it can bring to your research project. We have also talked about the research data life cycle and how RDM comes into play at each stage. This post will explain the importance of metadata and FAIR principles with examples from legal history. Let’s dive in

    Dissertação de mestrado em European Master in LexicographyThe problem of gender bias in dictionaries has been lately getting more and more attention in the public as well as academic discourse, as numerous examples of gender stereotypes found on dictionary pages have been reported and discussed not only in the academic communities, but also in newspapers, social media and other news outlets. However, this problem has hardly been researched in Russian lexicography. This master dissertation aims at analysing major monolingual dictionaries of Russian, published during 20th – 21st centuries to detect the presence of any gender bias in them and describe it by comparing the representation of woman and man in the corresponding dictionary entries. The analysis results show an abundance of gender stereotypes in the dictionaries as well as certain patterns in the depiction of female and masculine gender roles. The problem of biased gender representation in monolingual dictionaries of Russian requires a more profound critical evaluation and research. Moreover, it is necessary to revise dictionary lexicographic data to eliminate any gender stereotypes present there.O problema do viés de género nos dicionários tem vindo a receber cada vez mais atenção do público, bem como do discurso académico, uma vez que numerosos exemplos de estereótipos de género encontrados em páginas de dicionários têm sido relatados e discutidos não só nas comunidades académicas, mas também em jornais, meios de comunicação social e outros meios de comunicação. Porém, este problema quase não foi estudado na lexicografia russa. O objetivo desta dissertação de mestrado é analisar os principais dicionários monolingues de russo, publicados durante os séculos XX - XXI para detetar a presença de qualquer preconceito de género nos mesmos, e analisá-la comparando a representação da mulher e do homem nas entradas correspondentes dos dicionários. Os resultados da análise mostram uma abundância de estereótipos de género nos dicionários, assim como determinados padrões na representação dos papéis de género feminino e masculino. O problema do viés de género nos dicionários monolingues de russo requer uma avaliação e uma investigação mais profundas e críticas. Além disso, é necessário rever os dados lexicográficos dos dicionários para eliminar quaisquer estereótipos de género presentes nos mesmos

    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
