Tupan in the works of Indianism: A literary myth
No full textFirst regarded as being without faith, the Indigenous people of Brazil were endowed with a God of Tupi origin now famous, Tupan. Tupan has become a reference in terms of indigenous beliefs. Many texts, anthropological or literary, refer to Tupan. After the Independence of Brazil, the Indians are in fashion. They make it possible to create this affiliation to the continent which Brazilians need to get rid of the Portuguese yoke. Indianism is used for the imperial construction project of the State of Dom Pedro II. Attracted by Indigenous autochthony, the Brazilian romantics create native fictional characters to draw a national identity and endow Brazil with a clean and original literature. There is, of course, a major gap between the life of the Indigenous people in the Brazilian territory and the fictional writings that represent them. The use of tupi words and notions in the literature adds to the descriptions of the lush nature of Brazil and are part of a project to build a national literature. The arrival of Tupan in literature fits into this line of creation of a Brazilian national literature.D’abord considérés comme étant sans foi, les Indigènes du Brésil ont été dotés d’un Dieu d’origine tupi aujourd’hui fameux, Tupan. Tupan est devenu une référence en terme de croyances indigènes. Nombreux sont les textes, anthropologiques ou littéraires, qui font référence à Tupan. Après l’Indépendance du Brésil, les Indigènes sont à la mode. Ils permettent de créer cette filiation au continent dont les Brésiliens ont besoin pour se défaire du joug portugais. L’indianisme sert au projet impérial de construction de l’Etat de Dom Pedro II. Attirés par l’autochtonie des Indigènes, les romantiques brésiliens créent des personnages fictionnels indigènes pour dessiner une identité nationale et doter le Brésil d’une littérature propre et originale. Bien entendu, il y a un fossé majeur entre la vie des Indigènes sur le territoire brésilien et les écrits fictionnels qui les représentent3 . L’utilisation de mots et de notions tupi dans la littérature s’ajoute aux descriptions de la nature luxuriante du Brésil et s’inscrivent dans un projet de construction d’une littérature nationale. L’arrivée de Tupan dans la littérature s’insère alors dans cette ligne de création d’une littérature nationale brésilienne
Semiotics Analysis in Tupan Cafe Menus
Full text linkThis study attempts to explain and describe the semiotic process and the message implied in Tupan Cafe menu. Semiotics approach from Pierce is applied to identify and analyze the data which focus on Representament, Object, and Interpretant. The method of this study is descriptive qualitative because the writer collected the data in the form of written words which produces descriptive information. There are six Tupan Cafe menus that were analyzed in this study. Those are the menus;Classic Orange Panacotta, Legendary Volcano & Pitbull, Trilogy Chicken ala Cordon Bleu, Crisp Fried John Dory Cheese, Coffee V60, and Bloody Jean. The writer is interested in analyzing them because those menus have hidden message that sometimes the viewers can not understand the message of menus well. The results of the study showed that all the menus have an aim to persuade the readers to know the meanings of the menus although the signs in each menu are different
Paterae on Io: Geologic Mapping of Tupan Patera and Experimental Models
No full textPaterae cover approximately 2% of the surface of Io, Jupiter’s volcanically active moon. To understand the formation of these volcano-tectonic depressions we created a geologic map of a key region and compared this map with experimental models for Io paterae. Our mapping region is Tupan Patera, a patera that has experienced recent activity and is a detected hot spot. We identified four primary types of geologic materials: plains, patera floors, flows, and diffuse deposits. We constructed an experimental model to test previous suggestions that paterae may form as volatiles in the silicate crust are vaporized by rising magma, creating instability, and subsequent collapse. The apparatus is a scaled model that uses sand (silicate crust analog), ice or snow (volatile analog), a hotplate (magma chamber analog), and a moveable paddle (to simulate extension). Our experimental collapse features exhibit many characteristics of paterae on Io, such as “islands,” terraces, straight margins, and steep scarps. Our model suggests that the role of volatiles in Io’s crust is a significant part of paterae formation.Comparative studies between our map and model show it is possible Tupan is an emerging lava lake or one in a state of quiescence. Our studies have also culminated in the completion of a theoretical cross section for the geologic history of Tupan Patera. This cross section displays a sequence of events including the rise of magma as it preferentially volatilizes sulfurous layers in the crust, subsequent thinning, instability, and collapse, the likelihood of the patera floor sinking as a stoped block, and the more recent flow and diffuse deposits. This study gives some insight to the general formation of paterae on Io
DAS CARTAS DE IG. A OS FILHOS DE TUPAN, GÊNESE DE IRACEMA: RESÍDUOS E MENTALIDADES EM J. D’ALENCAR
Full text linkEm 1855, Gonçalves de Magalhães apresenta o poema Confederação dos Tamoyos. Pouco tempo depois, surgem cartas publicadas em periódicos com críticas a esse poema, assinadas por Ig. Essas cartas levam a uma polêmica literária. Atingido seu objetivo e com a notoriedade alcançada, em 1856, esse crítico lança as cartas em um livro intitulado Cartas sobre a Confederação dos Tamoyos, e se apresenta como J. d’Alencar. Havendo criticado o poema de Magalhães, Alencar decide publicar, noperiódico A Reforma, seu poema Os Filhos de Tupan, que viria a ser a gênese de Iracema. O presente artigo tem o propósito de refletir sobre as mentalidades desse período, que vai de 1855, ano em que Magalhães apresentou seu poema, a 1872, ano em que Alencar publicou a segunda edição de Iracema. Como fundamentação teórica, utilizaremos os princípios da Teoria da Residualidade Literária e Cultural, sistematizada e desenvolvida por Roberto Pontes, visto que essa teoria nos permite demonstrar tanto a presença de traços residuais remanescentes entre várias culturas quanto as mentalidades num tempode longa duração. A abordagem metodológica começa com comentários sobre o poema Confederação dos Tamoyos, de Magalhães, e sobre as cartas de Ig./ J. d’Alencar. Traz, em seguida, trechos do poema Os Filhos de Tupan e comentários sobre o romance Iracema. Posteriormente, reflete sobre as mentalidades existentes tanto no período assinalado quanto nos mitos indígenas que aparecem n\u27Os Filhos de Tupan. Finaliza apresentando o termo “piguara” usado por Alencar, e que representa sua luta pela construção de um projeto nacionalista para a literatura brasileira
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
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
