Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Gilbert-Charles Picard (1913-1998) et les Religions de l'Afrique Antique
No full textThis article analyses, from a historiographic
perspective, the most important aspects of
Charles-Gilbert Picard’s work on the religious
world of the populations inhabiting the Maghreb
during the Punic and Roman periods, with
special emphasis on his magnum opus on the
subject, Les religions de l’Afrique Antique. In doing so, I have attempted to explain the evolution
in thought of an author who was one of the most
prominent scholars of the ancient religions in
North Africa between the end of the Second
World War and the process of decolonisation of
the Maghreb.This contribution is a product of the synergy between two different projects, EPIDI: Epítetos divinos: experiencia
religiosa y relaciones de poder en Hispania (HAR207-84789-C2-2-P), funded by the Spanish Ministry
of Science, Innovation and Universities, at University Carlos III of Madrid, and RomanIslam – Center

Producción científica y visibilidad de los investigadores de la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid en las bases de datos del ISI, 1997-2003
No full textLos objetivos planteados en esta tesis son conocer los hábitos de publicación de los investigadores adscritos a un conjunto de áreas/departamentos de la UC3M, durante el período 1997-2003, en las bases de datos del Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), identificando la calidad de las publicaciones recogidas (documentos propios y citas recibidas), medida ésta en términos de impacto y visibilidad, y relacionando esta calidad con los hábitos de publicación obtenidos.
La metodología utilizada en el trabajo ha requerido la aplicación conjunta de técnicas estadísticas (univariantes, bivariantes y multivariantes), y del análisis de redes sociales, para la construcción de indicadores bibliométricos unidimensionales y multidimensionales, tanto de la producción científica identificada como de las citas recibidas por la misma.
Entre las conclusiones del estudio destaca que tanto la producción como las citas recibidas en todas las áreas/departamentos analizados tienen una tendencia ascendente, que los trabajos se realizan habitualmente en colaboración, así como que las temáticas con mayor producción son Física y Matemáticas, que gran parte de la investigación se publica en revistas situadas en el primer cuartil del Journal Citation Reports (JCR), y que esta actividad investigadora recibe normalmente citas de revistas con igual o mejor posición en el JCR en función de su Factor de Impacto
