Desapariciones forzadas en América Latina y México: evolución del fenómeno y rol del crimen organizado
Get PDFLa grave crisis de inseguridad y derechos humanos del México contemporáneo exige a la academia un análisis profundo del fenómeno del crimen organizado, informado por experiencias internacionales y sensible a su naturaleza dual en tanto fenómeno con fuerte arraigo local que, simultáneamente, es indisociable de los flujos de la economía global. Sobre ese trasfondo, en marzo de 2023 se celebró en El Colegio de México el seminario “Diálogos desde las fronteras del crimen organizado. Crimen organizado, derechos y pobreza educativa”, con la colaboración de la Universidad de Milán, la Embajada de Italia en México, la Pontificia Academia Mariana Internacional, el Instituto Mexicano para la Justicia y el Museo Memoria y Tolerancia.
En el seminario, académicos, analistas y funcionarios examinaron la penetración del crimen organizado en la vida política, social y económica de México y de otros países latinoamericanos, con especial atención a los paralelismos y aprendizajes que se desprenden de la experiencia italiana. En Italia, como hoy en México, la histórica imbricación del fenómeno criminal en las relaciones económicas y sociales ha confrontado al Estado, a las elites políticas y a la sociedad civil con la necesidad de poner en marcha procesos extraordinarios de memoria, verdad, impartición de justicia y reconstrucción institucional.
Por la vigencia del tema tratado y la introducción de perspectivas analíticas útiles para estudiar la dinámica criminal y sus implicaciones, se reproducen, a continuación, tres ponencias presentadas en el seminario. En la primera, Nando dalla Chiesa, destacado sociólogo, intelectual, profesor de la Universidad de Milán y figura emblemática del movimiento contra la mafia italiana, presenta tres formas de aproximarse al estudio de la dinámica criminal a nivel internacional, incluyendo el proceso de multiplicación de organizaciones criminales a nivel global, la proliferación de ejércitos mercenarios y fuerzas paramilitares y la creciente interconexión entre el crimen y el terrorismo político. Dalla Chiesa agrega a ellas una reflexión sobre las dificultades al tratar de distinguir la actividad criminal del resto de la interacción económica y social. Fenómenos como el lavado de dinero vuelven cada vez más permeables las fronteras entre sociedad y crimen, economía formal e informal, empresarios y criminales, legalidad e ilegalidad.
En la segunda ponencia, Annaclara De Tuglie reflexiona sobre los niveles de análisis en el estudio del crimen organizado, desde un enfoque “macro” que aborda los componentes geopolíticos y transnacionales del fenómeno (como la migración, los flujos de capital hacia paraísos fiscales, entre otros) hasta el nivel “micro”, que se concentra, en cambio, en las experiencias individuales y locales frente al crimen y las condiciones que facilitan su reproducción. Finalmente, aprovechando las herramientas analíticas discutidas en las otras ponencias, Thomas Aureliani ofrece un retrato del fenómeno de desaparición de personas en México, a partir de su propio trabajo de campo y de testimonios de familiares de víctimas de un delito que expresa, con toda crudeza, la crisis de estatalidad y derechos humanos que ensombrece al país
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
Posizionamento e metodologia della ricerca nelle scienze sociali emancipanti : Una riflessione a partire dalla ricerca sul campo con i familiari di desaparecidos in Messico
No full textIl saggio mira ad analizzare, in una prospettiva riflessiva, il posizionamento del ricercatore sociale a partire da un’esperienza concreta di lavoro sul campo con i familiari di desaparecidos messicani.
Facendo riferimento teorico ai concetti di «ricercatore-amico» (Snow et al. 1986) e «approccio empatico» (Cataldi 2012), nel testo si descrivono le diverse dimensioni emancipative individuate nell’iter di ricerca e i passaggi principali che hanno contribuito ad accorciare le distanze tra il ricercatore e i familiari delle vittime, considerati una categoria particolarmente vulnerabile dato il trauma subito a causa della sparizione forzata di un proprio caro
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
