    Urban music, youth and resistance : a journey through some underground sounds of Latin America

    No full text
    Música urbana, juventud y resistencia analiza algunos sonidos underground que resisten y coexisten en diferentes contextos geopolíticos urbanos de Latinoamérica. A partir de la realidad de América Latina, se sostiene que las culturas juveniles han construido y les han dado significado a los sonidos underground, en espacios colonizados donde las desigualdades de género, raza y clase se muestran de diferentes maneras. Aunado a ello, las diversas perspectivas de este libro revelan las luchas contra el capitalismo y el neoliberalismo que se dan a través de la música, en concreto a partir de las escenas musicales y la consolidación de procesos de resistencia juvenil. Así, se postula la música como una herramienta política que permite a las juventudes construir territorios geopolíticos y afectivos, que conllevan transformaciones culturales y generacionales. En definitiva, se trata de espacios en los que se realizan denuncias sociales que visibilizan problemáticas contextuales específicas.Bogot

    A cantar e a viver sem medo no México: entrevista com Vivir Quintana

    No full text
    Vivir Quintana, trought her musical creative process, tells us about her experience in the Mexican music industry and her insertion into current feminist. Above all, her reflection leads us like a mirror to think about feminist activism, music as a political tool, and the importance of collective work to build bridges that allow to denounce and make visible the reality that women experience every day in a country like Mexico. At the end, she shares with us a bit of the creative process that frames “Canción sin miedo”, but above all, it is possible to see the importance of collective work, one of the most fundamental characteristics of current feminisms. In this interview, conducted remotely through the Zoom platform due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Vivir shares a little bit of her life, her experience and the creative process that allowed her to acknowledge her feelings, emotions and thoughts about the context of violence and the high rates of femicides that are experienced in Mexico. This interview, rather than just a series of questions as a traditional way to do an interview, is the result of a dialogue with a female artist. We held a sensitive dialogue about her experience as a northerner, a way of identifying ourselves as originating from a state that is in the north of the country, living in Mexico City and as daughters of normalist (rural teachers’ college) parents. As an extra note, I must share that much of her experience was a mirror of the feelings and experiences that women live in this country.Vivir Quintana, a través de su proceso creativo musical, nos cuenta su experiencia en la industria de la música mexicana y su inserción en los feminismos actuales. Sobre todo, su reflexión nos lleva como espejo a pensar el activismo feminista, la música como una herramienta política y la importancia del trabajo colectivo para construir puentes que permitan denunciar y hacer visible la realidad que las mujeres cotidianamente experimentan en un país como México. Nos comparte al final un poco del proceso creativo que enmarca “Canción sin miedo”, pero sobre todo es posible ver la importancia del trabajo colectivo, una de las características fundamentales de los feminismos actuales. Mediante una entrevista realizada vía remota (por la plataforma Zoom) -debido a las condiciones de pandemia Covid-19 por las que actualmente pasamos en todo el mundo-, Vivir nos comparte un poco de su vida, de su experiencia y del proceso creativo que le permitió dar a conocer sus sentires, emociones y pensamiento sobre el contexto de violencia y los altos índices de feminicidios que se viven en México. El presente escrito, más que una serie de preguntas en un sistema de entrevista tradicional, es el resultado de un diálogo con una mujer artista. Sostuvimos un diálogo sensible sobre su experiencia como norteña, una manera de identificarnos como originaria de un estado que se encuentra al norte del país, viviendo en la Ciudad de México y como hija de padres normalistas, profesores de educación básica como profesión. Como una nota extra, debo compartir que mucha de su experiencia fue un espejeo de los sentires y las experiencias que las mujeres vivimos en este país. Vivir Quintana, através do seu processo musical criativo, fala-nos da sua experiência na indústria musical mexicana e da sua inserção nos feminismos actuais. Acima de tudo, a sua reflexão leva-nos como um espelho a pensar no activismo feminista, na música como instrumento político e na importância do trabalho colectivo para construir pontes que nos permitam denunciar e tornar visível a realidade que as mulheres experimentam diariamente num país como o México. No final, ela partilha connosco um pouco do processo criativo que enquadra "Canción sin miedo", mas acima de tudo é possível ver a importância do trabalho colectivo, uma das características fundamentais dos feminismos actuais. Através de uma entrevista realizada remotamente (através da plataforma Zoom) - devido às condições da pandemia de Covid-19 que estamos actualmente a viver em todo o mundo - Vivir partilha connosco um pouco da sua vida, da sua experiência e do processo criativo que lhe permitiu dar a conhecer os seus sentimentos, emoções e pensamentos sobre o contexto de violência e os elevados índices de feminicídio no México. Este artigo, mais do que uma série de perguntas num sistema tradicional de entrevistas, é o resultado de um diálogo com uma mulher artista. Tivemos um diálogo sensível sobre a sua experiência como norteña, uma forma de nos identificarmos como natural de um estado do norte do país, vivendo na Cidade do México e como filha de pais normalistas, professores do ensino básico como profissão. Como nota extra, devo partilhar que grande parte da sua experiência foi um espelho dos sentimentos e experiências que as mulheres vivem neste país

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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 PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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
