Ethnozoology in the mountains. What does the cognitive salience of wild animals tell us?
Full text linkIn recent times, ethnobiology has revived interest in cognitive aspects of humans' communities. A concept commonly used in this area is cognitive salience. In this paper we assess the wild animal salience meaning for the rural people from an area of the mountain range of the Cordoba province (Argentina). We also analyzed the relationship of cultural and ecological factors over wild animal domain salience. The values of cognitive salience, perception and cultural value were obtained by means of free lists to 16 collaborators, while semistructured interviews were used to inquire about local ecological knowledge and ease of observation about wild animals. The interdependence between the five variables elaborated was analyzed through a Principal Components Regression. The results show a qualitative relationship between Cognitive Salience and Cultural Value and a significant correlation between Cognitive Salience and Local Ecological Knowledge. Ease of Observation did not correlate with Cognitive Salience, but show a significant relationship with the Perceived Abundance. The results suggest a complex network of factors that are modeling the cognitive salience and local perceptions over wild animals. In our findings, highlight the Cultural Value given to harmful animals which reflects an increasing pattern in the region, the conflict between rural people and wild animals. In turn a mutual influences and causal feedback loops between cognitive salience and an ecological factor, the Perceived abundance, is proposed. Investigations over cognition and about how people perceived nature can give us an idea of how they act in it, a compelling factor when it comes to cultural and biological conservation issues.Fil: Wajner, Matias.

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
"O javali espalhou-se por aqui": conhecimentos locais associados a espécies exóticas e invasoras nos territórios das salinas de Ambargasta, Córdoba (Argentina)
Full text linkLa introducción de un animal "exótico" a un sitio es el marco para re-pensar como diferentes perspectivas (académicas y locales) disputan significados, y ponen en juego diversas emocionalidades y formas de actuar frente a lo novedoso. En el presente trabajo se busca desmenuzar los vínculos existentes entre la comunidad local de un sitio del Chaco Árido de Córdoba Argentina y el jabalí, quien recientemente ha llegado a la zona. Utilizando herramientas etnográficas nos proponemos poner en tensión ideas, conceptos y prácticas académicas y locales en torno al jabalí. Para la comunidad local, el jabalí da lugar a múltiples representaciones; resulta un atractivo y un desafío para los cazadores de la zona, es fuente de abundante alimento, es catalogado como un animal perjudicial al afectar actividades productivas (e.g. cría de cerdos) y al mismo tiempo un animal peligroso. Por otro lado, las relaciones entre este animal y la comunidad local están atravesadas por emociones y sentimientos como miedo, desafío, felicidad, tristeza, admiración y curiosidad. Los resultados presentados nos dan lugar a pensar que el jabalí es considerado una ´especie novedosa´ para los/as pobladores/as locales, lo que difiere significativamente del concepto de ´especie exótica invasora´ utilizado en ámbitos científicos académicos. A pesar de las diferencias en torno a los significados que tiene el jabalí para los diferentes grupos sociales, proponemos que tanto académicos/as como pobladores/as locales podrían ser potenciales aliados si se emprende la misión de mitigar los daños causados por este animal.The introduction of an "exotic" animal to a site is the framework for re-thinking how different perspectives (academic and local) dispute meanings and bring into play various emotions and ways of acting in the face of novelty. In the present work, we seek to analyze the existing links between the local community of a site in the Arid Chaco of Córdoba, Argentina, and the wild boar, which has recently arrived in the area. Using ethnographic tools, we intend to put in tension ideas, concepts, and academic and local practices regarding the wild boar. For the local community, the wild boar gives rise to multiple representations; it is an attraction and a challenge for hunters in the area, it is a source of abundant food, it is catalogued as a "harmful" animal as it affects productive activities (e.g. pig breeding) and at the same time as a dangerous animal. On the other hand, the relationship between this animal and the local community is marked by emotions and feelings such as fear, challenge, happiness, sadness, admiration, and curiosity. The results presented give us reason to believe that the wild boar is considered a novel species by local people, which differs significantly from the concept of invasive alien species used in academic scientific circles. Despite the differences in the meanings of the wild boar for different social groups, we propose that both academics and local people are potential allies if the mission to mitigate the damage caused by this animal is undertaken.A introdução de um animal “exótico” num sítio é o enquadramento para repensar como diferentes perspetivas (acadêmicas e locais) disputam significados, e põe em jogo diversas emoções e modos de agir face à novidade.

Utilizando ferramentas etnográficas, pretendemos colocar em tensão ideias, conceitos e práticas acadêmicas e locais em torno do javali. Para a comunidade local, o javali origina a múltiplas representações; é considerado uma atração e um desafio para os caçadores da região e uma fonte de alimento abundante, é catalogado como um animal prejudicial, uma vez que afeta as atividades produtivas como a criação de porcos, e perigoso. Por outro lado, a relação entre este animal e a comunidade local é marcada por emoções e sentimentos como medo, desafio, alegria, tristeza, admiração e curiosidade. Os resultados apresentados permitem pensar que o javali é considerado uma espécie inovadora pôr a população local, o que difere significativamente do conceito de espécies exóticas invasoras utilizado nos círculos científicos acadêmicos. Apesar das diferenças nos significados do javali para diferentes grupos sociais, propomos que tanto os acadêmicos como a população local poderiam se tornar potenciais aliados se a missão de mitigar os danos causados por este animal for empreendida.Fil: Wajner, Matias.

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
Commoning social-ecological networks through the lens of relational ontologies and other economies: how ecologists can diversify their notions of human-non-human relationships
No full textThe study of social-ecological networks (SENs) has mainly approached nature through a modern and functional to capitalism conception, i.e. a matrix over which human societies develop. Such a conception neglects interdependencies among human and non-human entities and therefore between “culture” and “nature” reproduction, assumes the existence of many cultures but only one nature, understands nature as a pool of resources, goods or services that can be exploited, appropriated or enclosed, and has been pointed out as one of the main causes of the current biodiversity crisis. Based on the work of sociologists and communitarian feminist
scholars, here, we propose to conceive social-ecological systems (SES) as the common, i.e. systems that need to be produced through communal political practices that consider human-non-human interdependencies. In this vein, we introduce two frameworks related with the production of the common, relational ontologies and other economies, and present two examples applying them. One example helps rethinking the so-called “humans-wildlife conflicts”, by illustrating the emerging relational role of the “cabrero” (a livestock guardian dog) as a “mediator” of such conflicts, through the lens of ethnobiology.. The other example analyzes human and non-human co production of SESs that produce (and are produced by) honey, honeybees and beekeepers’ Social and Solidarity economies. We think such perspectives may diversify ecologists’ understanding on human-human and human-non-human relationships and thus ecologists’ ideas about the representation of SENs and the reproduction of SESs as the common.EEA San JuanFil: Astegiano, Julia.

“El cabrero” guardián de las cabras en el Chaco árido
Full text linkLos perros protectores del ganado han cobrado una reciente atención debido a su potencial utilidad para disminuir los conflictos entre productores y fauna silvestre. En este trabajo nos propusimos documentar las prácticas y conocimientos asociados a los perros protectores en el Chaco árido del norte de Córdoba. Y a su vez, conocer desde las narrativas de las personas productoras locales, el rol que ocupan los perros cabreros en las formas de vida campesina. Los colaboradores y colaboradoras brindan información detallada sobre la utilidad, características, formas de crianza y agencia de los perros cabreros. En la sociabilidad de “la costa”, los cabreros pueden ser considerados intermediarios, una especie de mediadores entre humanos y animales no humanos. Este lugar los define como entidades clave para mitigar los conflictos asociados al encuentro de intereses de humanos y no humanos en el territorio. Las prácticas locales que promueven la coexistencia de distintos seres en el territorio son fundamentales para conservarlos, sin reducirlos a partes o fracciones no interactuantes entre sí.Livestock guardian dogs have become recently important because of their potential use to reduce conflicts between producers and wildlife. In this study, we aim to document the practices and knowledge related to livestock guardian dogs in the arid Chaco of north of Cordoba. Also, we want to know, from local producers’ narratives, the place that livestock guardians’ dogs take in their live form. The collaborators provied detailed information about the usefulness, characteristics, breeding forms and guardian dog´s agency guardian’s dogs. In the sociability of “la costa”, guardian dogs could be considered intermediaries, a kind of mediator between humans and non-human animals. This place defines them as key entities that help to mitigate the conflicts associated with the encountering of human and nonhuman interests in the territory. Local practices that promote the coexistence of different beings in the territory are fundamental to conserve them, without reducing them to parts or fractions that do not interact with each other.Fil: Marquez, Victoria.

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
