Between image and discourse: magic and science at the Museu do Ipiranga
No full textEsta tese enfocou o Museu do Ipiranga (nome popular do Museu Paulista), museu mais antigo da cidade de São Paulo, e seu processo de readequação institucional para reabertura após fechamento em 2013 por problemas estruturais. A pesquisa o desafio de parte das equipes do museu em evitar o encantamento provocado pelo edifício-monumento e pelo eixo monumental. O acompanhamento dos preparativos para a readequação do museu e, posteriormente, dos espaços expositivos com as exposições em cartaz e a circulação de visitantes permitiu uma compreensão geral de alguns processos. A tese argumenta que o Museu do Ipiranga tem um caráter mágico por ter sido concebido como um monumento à Independência. Contudo, é atualmente um museu de história especializado em cultura material, de modo que o desafio contínuo é comunicar aos públicos as intenções curatoriais, baseadas em pesquisas acadêmicas, a despeito do encantamento provocado pela arquitetura e ornamentação. Além disso, há um esforço das equipes curatoriais e educativas para contextualizar a narrativa visual constituída para o Centenário da Independência (1822-1922) que buscou enaltecer a figura do bandeirante e conferir um papel central à cidade de São Paulo tanto no período de colonização quanto processo de independência. A pesquisa etnográfica foi desenvolvida durante participações de eventos entre 2018 e 2020 quanto o museu estava fechado para reformas e entre 2022 e 2024 com as novas exposições já em cartazThis thesis focused on the Museu do Ipiranga (popularly known as the Museu Paulista), the oldest museum in the city of São Paulo, and its process of institutional readjustment for reopening after being closed in 2013 due to structural problems. The research addresses the challenge faced by some of the museum\'s teams in avoiding the enchantment caused by the building-monument and the monumental axis. The monitoring of the preparations for the museum\'s readjustment and, later, the exhibition spaces with current exhibitions and the circulation of visitors allowed for a general understanding of some processes. The thesis argues that the Museu do Ipiranga has a magical character because it was conceived as a monument to Independence. However, it is currently a history museum specialized in material culture, so the ongoing challenge is to communicate the curatorial intentions, based on academic research, to the public despite the enchantment caused by the architecture and ornamentation. Additionally, there is an effort by the curatorial and educational teams to contextualize the visual narrative created for the Centennial of Independence (1822-1922), which sought to praise the figure of the bandeirante and give a central role to the city of São Paulo both in the colonization period and the independence process. The ethnographic research was conducted during participation in events between 2018 and 2020 while the museum was closed for renovations and between 2022 and 2024 with the new exhibitions already on displa

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
Culture and sociability at the Art Museum: ethnography of the visitors of Pinacoteca do Estado
No full textEsta pesquisa analisa, do ponto de vista etnográfico, os visitantes da Pinacoteca do Estado, em São Paulo. Embora seja o museu de arte mais antigo da cidade, a Pinacoteca se encontra, junto a outras instituições culturais da região da Luz, no meio de processos de revitalização por meio da cultura. Tais processos fazem parte de fenômenos urbanos globais que vêm redefinindo o papel dos museus no contexto urbano e relacionando-os com processos econômicos mais abrangentes. No entanto, a presente pesquisa busca um afastamento das análises que entendem os museus como parte de uma cultura de consumo e vê seus frequentadores apenas como consumidores. Contudo, não se propõe aqui uma antropologia do consumo, que em que pese a notável superação de uma abordagem moral do tema se baseia numa ruptura entre sujeito e objeto e compreende as relações materiais apenas como formas de representação de classificações e divisões culturais mais profundas de grupos sociais. Tenta-se, na verdade, compreender o comportamento dos visitantes da Pinacoteca em suas formas de sociabilidade, bem como a relação desses visitantes com os objetos de arte tendo como base uma perspectiva antropológica da arte e da cultura material. Tal perspectiva permite conceber as obras de arte como pessoas, o que dinamiza e complexifica as relações com objetos materiais. Assim, analisa-se, situacionalmente, as relações dos visitantes da Pinacoteca de modo que, por meio das obras de arte e dos laços de sociabilidade, as interações sociais possam ser ampliadas e, em vez de ocasião para distinção simbólica e social, a visita possa ser entendida como oportunidade de construção pessoal.This research analyzes, from an ethnographic point of view, the visitors of Pinacoteca do Estado, in São Paulo. Although it is the oldest art museum in the city, the Pinacoteca is, along with other cultural institutions in the region of Luz, amid processes of revitalization through culture. These processes are part of global urban phenomena that come redefining the role of museums in the urban context and relating them to broader economic processes. However, this research seeks a departure from the analyses that understand museums as part of a culture of consumption and see their visitors only as consumers. Nevertheless, it is not proposed here an anthropology of consumption in spite of the remarkable overcoming of a moral approach to the subject which is based on a split between subject and object and understands the material relations only as forms of representation of deeper classifications and cultural divisions of social groups. Actually, we try to understand the behavior of Pinacotecas visitors in their forms of sociability, as well as the relationship of these visitors with the objects of art based on an anthropological perspective of art and material culture. This perspective allows conceiving artworks as people, which dynamizes and complexifies relations with material objects. Thus, we analyze, situationally, the relationship of the Pinacotecas visitors so that by works of art and the bonds of sociability, social interactions can be expanded and instead of occasion for symbolic and social distinction, the visit can be understood as an opportunity for personal construction
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
