No full textLos países de la región ante la guerra civil en El Salvador y ante la crisis centroamericana
No full textEl capítulo argumenta en torno de la importancia del contexto internacional durante la guerra civil en El Salvador y durante la crisis centroamericana, en la década de 1980. Se subraya la relevancia, particularmente, de tres momentos: el de la declaración franco-mexicana, el del acuerdo multilateral de Contadora y el pronunciamiento firmado también por diversos países de la región en la ciudad guatemalteca de Esquipulas.Fil: Villacorta Zuluaga, Carmen Elena.

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
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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Arena, fmln y los sucesos del 5 de julio del 2006 en El Salvador: violencia e imaginarios políticos
No full textGraves disturbios ocurrieron el día 5 de julio del 2006 en El Salvador. La violencia política más grave de la posguerra salvadoreña hasta esa fecha se pagó con dos policías muertos, varios heridos y decenas de detenidos. Después de estos hechos, se produjo otra batalla: explicar lo sucedido y encontrar a los culpables. Ese 5 de julio marcó la culminación en la polarización política entre el partido de derecha Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (Arena), partido de gobierno en ese momento; y el de izquierda, el Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (fmln), entonces principal partido de oposición. A través de una reconstrucción longitudinal, el presente artículo analiza lo que los hechos –así como las interpretaciones y manipulaciones– pueden enseñarnos sobre la dinámica política de la posguerra salvadoreña. Llama la atención la vigencia de imaginarios políticos asociados a la utilización de los métodos conspirativos y con claros antecedentes en el conflicto armado salvadoreño y la Guerra Fría.Serious riots occurred in El Salvador on July 5, 2006. The country’s worst postwar political violence until then resulted in two dead policemen, several wounded people and dozens of arrests. After these events, a different battle should be fought: to explain what happened and to find the culprits. July 5th marked a climax in the political polarization between right-wing Arena party (at the time in government) and the leftist fmln, the main opposition party then. Through a longitudinal reconstruction, this article analyzes the facts –as well as interpretations and manipulations to which they were subjected– that can teach us about the political dynamics of postwar in El Salvador. Particularly striking is the validity of political imaginaries associated with the use of conspiratorial methods and with clear lineage to the Salvadoran armed conflict and the Cold War.Des troubles graves se sont produits le 5 juillet 2006 à El Salvador. Cette violence politique, la plus grave depuis l’après-guerre salvadorienne, s’est soldée par la mort de deux policiers, de nombreux blessés et des dizaines de détenus. Suite à ces évènements, une autre bataille s’est produite : celle qui consiste à expliquer ce qui s’est passé et à rechercher des coupables. Le 5 juillet a marqué l’aboutissement de la polarisation politique entre le parti de droite, Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (Arena), à l’époque au pouvoir, et le parti de gauche, Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (fmln), alors premier parti d’opposition. Au travers d’une reconstruction longitudinale, le présent article analyse ce que les faits – tout comme les interprétations et manipulations – peuvent nous enseigner sur la dynamique politique d’après-guerre salvadorienne. Nous sommes frappés par la pertinence des imaginaires politiques associée à l’utilisation de méthodes conspiratives, qui font clairement écho au conflit armé salvadorien et à la Guerre Froide
Memory work in Central America: Five heuristic proposals concerning the wars in El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua
No full textThis article presents a comparative exploration of contemporary memory work related to the wars of the second half of the twentieth century in three Central American countries: El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua. It identifies five different heuristic proposals forwarded the explain the essential features of these wars (including their main causes and consequences). I refer to these heuristic proposals respectively as “imposed oblivion,” “war between brothers,” “revolution,” “anti-communism,” and “disillusionment.” Linked to specific political and historical sectors, these heuristic proposals have different levels of traction in each country. Their study allows to visualize the political arena of memory work in each country, while also providing input for an analysis of similarities and differences in war-related memory work between the three countries. Focusing on memory work as a contentious and relatively fragmented political process, the present article contributes to weighing the contemporary impact of war-related memory work in the Central American societies in question
