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
Arrumar a forma?
Full text linkComo Cristo pelas estações da Via Crúcis, a que a paixão do título A paixão segundo G.H. faz referência, a protagonista de Clarice Lispector se desloca por vários aposentos de seu apartamento até chegar ao quarto da empregada, onde para. Seu percurso se interrompe diante da falta do que arrumar no ambiente limpo, iluminado e organizado de Janair. Se “arrumar é achar a melhor forma”, quase como “desgasta[ndo] pacientemente a matéria até gradativamente encontrar sua escultura imanente”, que forma ela pode extrair do que vê como um “vazio seco”
Life is but a dream: navios fantasmas e comunidades incomuns em Opisanie świata = Life is but a dream: ghost ships and uncommon communities in Opisanie świata
Full text linkEste ensaio visa refletir sobre minha própria produção ficcional, tendo como fio condutor a noção de “comunidades incomum”, tema do encontro da APSA em 2016, onde originalmente apresentei este texto como um dos keynotespeakers do evento. A ideia é centrarme no romance Opisanie świata, publicado em 2013, e examinar como os personagens ali constituem o que poderíamos chamar não tanto uma comunidade incomum, mas uma comunidade de incomuns, uma comunidade que tem como único ponto de contato o fato de todos estarem em trânsito, isto é, de todos estarem fora de seus lugares de origem. Ou seja, aquilo que os aproxima não é algo da ordem da identidade, mas do não-pertenciment
Parangolés and dancing gazes
Full text linkAbstractIn this article, we analyse a photograph of Hélio Oiticica taken by the anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro during the filming of Ivan Cardoso’s documentary about Oiticica. In this photograph, on first sight, the scene from Ivan Cardoso's film is quite unlike Viveiros de Castro's photograph in that the former integrates with community and environment whereas the photo does not. While Cardoso focuses on Oiticica himself (it was no coincidence that titles of his short films came from the latter's name) or on people wearing parangolés, as a way to draw attention to the “internalization of experience” – to borrow a formulation from Guy Brett –, Viveiros de Castro aims to place the artist in this relation and in a certain sense underscores the “externalization of experience”. ResumoNeste artigo, parte-se da análise detalhada de uma fotografia de Hélio Oiticica feita pelo antropólogo Eduardo Viveiros de Castro durante as filmagens do documentário H.O., de Ivan Cardoso, em que há, à primeira vista, uma nítida diferença entre a cena do filme de Cardoso e a fotografia de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. É pela integração da comunidade e do entorno que esta se distancia daquela. Enquanto Ivan Cardoso centra-se na figura de Oiticica (não por acaso, os títulos de seus curtas derivam do nome do artista) ou nas daqueles que vestem os parangolés, chamando a atenção para a “interiorização da experiência” – para tomarmos emprestada uma formulação de Guy Brett –, Viveiros de Castro preocupa-se em colocar o artista em relação, enfatizando, em certo sentido, a “exteriorização da experiência”
Retratos dentro da morte: a Série Trágica de Flávio de Carvalho
No full textIn April, 19th, 1947, Flávio de Carvalho was in the Farm Capuava, in Valinhos, and received an urgent call to go to São Paulo. His mother, Ophélia Crissiúma de Carvalho, who suffered from a very painful cancer, was agonizing in her home, lying in bed. Seeing his mother’s agony, Flávio, her only son, grabbed pen and paper and begun to record her last instants in life. In the beginning of the afternoon, she finally died. The sketches the artist held became nine drawings of coal on paper, known as A Série Trágica – Minha mãe morrendo (The Tragic Series – My Mother Dying). The present essay intends to examine how a narrative is constituted by means of the nine drawings, and what such a narrative calls into play.Em 19 de abril de 1947, Flávio de Carvalho estava na Fazenda Capuava, em Valinhos, e foi chamado às pressas a São Paulo. Sua mãe, Ophélia Crissiúma de Carvalho, que padecia de um câncer extremamente doloroso, agonizava em sua casa, confinada a uma cama. Diante do estertor da mãe, Flávio, filho único, tomou papel e caneta e passou a registrar os últimos instantes de sua vida. No início da tarde, a agonia chegara ao fim. Os croquis que o artista tinha em mãos se transformaram em nove desenhos a carvão sobre papel, conhecidos como A série trágica – Minha mãe morrendo. Neste ensaio, pretende-se examinar o modo como se constitui uma narrativa por meio dos nove desenhos e o que esta narrativa coloca em jogo
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
