Mente, consciência e imagem: contribuições de Steven Mithen e David Lewis-Williams para a compreensão da origem das imagens.
Get PDFO objetivo deste texto é abordar como os conceitos de mente e consciência tratados, respectivamente, por Steven Mithen e David Lewis-Williams formam a base para suas hipóteses sobre as origens das imagens e o surgimento do pensamento simbólico no Homo sapiens. Os autores recorrem às ciências da psicologia e neurociência para apoiá-los em suas investigações. Enquanto a argumentação de Steven Mithen é sustentada pelas hipóteses de que a mente humana opera por fluxos cognitivos e de que a ontogenia recapitula a filogenia, a argumentação de Lewis-Williams apoia-se na ideia de que as imagens são originadas por estados alterados de consciência, condição possibilitada porque o humano moderno possui uma consciência de alta ordem
Mente, consciência e imagem: contribuições de Steven Mithen e David Lewis-Williams para a compreensão da origem das imagens.
No full textThis paper aims to address how the concepts of mind and consciousness treated by Steven Mithen and David Lewis-Williams form the basis for their hypotheses about the origins of images and the emergence of symbolic thinking in Homo sapiens. The authors turn to the sciences of psychology and neuroscience to support them in their investigations. While Steven Mithen's argument is supported by the hypotheses that the human mind operates by cognitive flows and that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, Lewis-Williams's argument rests on the idea that images are originated by altered states of consciousness, condition made possible because the modern human has a high order consciousness.O objetivo deste texto é abordar como os conceitos de mente e consciência tratados, respectivamente, por Steven Mithen e David Lewis-Williams formam a base para suas hipóteses sobre as origens das imagens e o surgimento do pensamento simbólico no Homo sapiens.

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
