Projeções do romantismo negro de Edgar Allan Poe no gótico contemporâneo de Tim Burton
No full textO principal objetivo desta tese é demonstrar como um autor do século XIX
influenciou uma narrativa cinematográfica contemporânea. Para o estudo da influência
de Edgar Allan Poe sobre Tim Burton será utilizado um método de abordagem
interdisciplinar que privilegia a relação inter-artes, associando Literatura e Cinema.
Serão ainda tratados alguns contextos históricos e conceitos artístico-literários, como o
Gótico e o Grotesco, que influenciaram a criação da obra do autor do séc. XIX e do
cineasta contemporâneo. De forma a possibilitar uma adequada compreensão das obras
ficcionais e cinematográficas em estudo, tornou-se necessário recorrer à abordagem
destas tendências estético-literárias que desencadearam o seu surgimento; ABSTRACT: Projections of Edgar Allan Poe's Dark Romanticism
in Tim Burton's Contemporary Gothic
The main purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate how a 19th century author
influenced a contemporary cinematographic narrative. To study the influence of Edgar
Allan Poe on Tim Burton, we will use an interdisciplinary approach method that
privileges the relationship between different arts, combining Literature and Cinema. We
will also select some historical contexts and artistic-literary concepts, such as the Gothic
and the Grotesque, which influence the work of an author from the 19th century and a
contemporary film director. In order to allow a complete understanding of the works to
be studied, this kind of approach is the most adequate to associate these aestheticliterary tendencies that originated these fictional and cinematographic productions
Evaluating Citebase, an open access Web-based citation-ranked search and impact discovery service
No full textCitebase is a new citation-ranked search and impact discovery service that measures citations of scholarly research papers which are openly accessible on the Web, i.e. papers that are assessable continuously online. Other services, such as ResearchIndex, have emerged in recent years to offer citation indexing of Web research papers. In the first detailed user evaluation of an open access Web citation indexing service, Citebase has been evaluated by nearly 200 users from different backgrounds. The paper details the procedures used in the evaluation, and analyses the results of this study, which took place between June and October 2002. It was found that within the scope of its primary components, the search interface and services available from its rich bibliographic records, Citebase can be used simply and reliably for the purpose intended, and that it compares favourably with other bibliographic services. It is shown tasks can be accomplished efficiently with Citebase regardless of the background of the user. More data need to be collected and the process refined before it is as reliable for measuring citation impact of indexed papers. Better explanations and guidance are required for first-time users. Coverage is seen as a limiting factor, even though Citebase indexes over 200,000 papers from arXiv. Non-physicists were frustrated at the lack of papers from other sciences. The principle of citation searching of open access archives has thus been demonstrated and need not be restricted to current users. Since the evaluation, Citebase has become a featured service of the ArXiv physics eprint archives
Ecocriticism and “thinking with writing”: an interview with Tim Ingold
No full textOver the course of an influential career spanning several decades, Tim Ingold, Professor Emeritus at the University of Aberdeen, has established himself as a preeminent voice in the field of Social Anthropology. Author of studies including “The Perception of the Environment” (2000), “Being Alive” (2011) and “The Life of Lines” (2015), this interview was inspired by the potential of his wide-ranging scholarship to unearth some fascinating avenues for research in literary studies. The breadth of his writing on habitation, perception and skilled practice, suggests myriad applications for his thinking beyond the purely anthropological, and particularly for bridging the concerns of literary and environmental studies. The philosophical depth of his work, apparent in his analyses of processes of growth and formation in both biological and socio-cultural domains (indeed questioning the supposed divisions between these fields), proves that his scholarship provides a refreshing counter-narrative to many prevailing schools of thought in current literary theory, especially to much of the discourse of New Materialism and Speculative Realism. In addition, this interview contains his views regarding certain emerging issues in literary studies, such as the material practices of reading, and the ascendency of the computer screen over the printed book, areas where his anthropological perspective is both stimulating and revealing. As a renowned scholar who has recently surveyed the changes in the academy and in disciplinary relationships throughout his long career, his observations provide valuable insights into the capability of the arts to guide us into a wider, more interconnected world. Crucially, his responses also speak to the world of academia, and how we can foster a practical awareness of ecological issues within the often-rarefied spheres of academic research and practice.A lo largo de varias décadas de influyente trayectoria, Tim Ingold, profesor emérito de la Universidad de Aberdeen, se ha consolidado como una de las voces más importantes del campo de la antropología social. El autor de obras como “The Perception of the Environment” [La percepción del ambiente] (2000), “Estar vivo” (2011) y “La vida de las líneas” (2015) accedió a esta entrevista, inspirada en el potencial de sus amplios escritos, la cual pretende desvelar algunas posibilidades de investigación fascinantes en lo que a los estudios literarios se refiere. La amplitud de sus escritos sobre los asentamientos, la percepción y las habilidades prácticas sugiere una infinidad de usos para sus reflexiones que van más allá de lo meramente antropológico y que se refieren, en especial, a su relación con las cuestiones de los estudios literarios y medioambientales. La profundidad filosófica de su obra, que resulta evidente en sus análisis de los procesos de crecimiento y formación, tanto en ámbitos biológicos como socioculturales (y que, de hecho, cuestionan la supuesta separación entre ambos campos), demuestra que sus estudios ofrecen una novedosa contranarrativa a las corrientes de pensamiento predominantes en la teoría literaria actual, sobre todo frente a gran parte del discurso del nuevo materialismo y del realismo especulativo. Además, esta entrevista incluye sus opiniones sobre determinadas cuestiones emergentes en los estudios literarios, como las prácticas de lectura y la mayor relevancia de las pantallas frente a los libros impresos, ámbitos con respecto a los cuales su perspectiva antropológica resulta tanto estimulante como reveladora. Al tratarse de un académico de prestigio que ha examinado los cambios en el ámbito académico y en las relaciones interdisciplinarias durante su dilatada trayectoria, sus observaciones sobre la capacidad de las artes para guiarnos hacia un mundo más amplio e interconectado resultan de gran valor. Asimismo, y de forma fundamental, sus respuestas se dirigen al mundo académico y se refieren a cómo fomentar una concienciación práctica sobre los problemas ecológicos en las rarificadas áreas de la investigación y la práctica académicas

Journal publishing and author self-archiving: Peaceful Co-Existence and Fruitful Collaboration
No full textThe UK Research Funding Councils (RCUK) have proposed that all RCUK fundees should self-archive on the web, free for all, their own final drafts of all journal articles reporting their RCUK-funded research, in order to maximise their usage and impact. ALPSP (a learned publishers' association) now seeks to delay and block the RCUK proposal, arguing that it will ruin journals. All objective evidence from the past decade and a half of self-archiving, however, shows that self-archiving can and does co-exist peacefully with journals while greatly enhancing both author/article and journal impact, to the benefit of both. Journal publishers should not be trying to delay and block self-archiving policy; they should be collaborating with the research community on ways to share its vast benefits
Ensaio bibliográfico - O que é um humano? Variações da noção de domesticação em Tim Ingold
No full textThis article reviews the reflections about the relationship between humans and animals in the work of the British anthropologist Tim Ingold by focusing on the different uses of the concept of domestication. We analyze here the seven major works of the author that comprise four phases of his thought. Initially a tool used by Ingold to approach interspecific relationships between humans and the reindeer, domestication is reconsidered as a way of repositioning the relationship between humans and animals in terms of evolution. It is then reconsidered in the context of a critique of the industrial society, and, ultimately, it has its value as a concept dissipated by the idea of an omnipresent life.Este ensaio bibliográfico resenha o tratamento da relação entre humanos e animais na obra do antropólogo britânico Tim Ingold, por meio do enfoque nos usos variados da noção de domesticação. São analisadas aqui as sete obras autorais de Ingold, que compõem quatro fases de seu pensamento. De ferramenta para uma aproximação das relações interespecíficas entre humanos e renas, a domesticação passa a figurar como um modo de reposicionar a relação entre humanos e animais no plano da evolução, em seguida é repensada no âmbito de uma crítica à sociedade industrial e, por fim, tem seu valor enquanto conceito dissipado pela ideia de uma onipresença da vida
Acceptance conditions in automated negotiation
No full textIn every negotiation with a deadline, one of the negotiating parties has to accept an offer to avoid a break off. A break off is usually an undesirable outcome for both parties, therefore it is important that a negotiator employs a proficient mechanism to decide under which conditions to accept. When designing such conditions one is faced with the acceptance dilemma: accepting the current offer may be suboptimal, as better offers may still be presented. On the other hand, accepting too late may prevent an agreement from being reached, resulting in a break off with no gain for either party. Motivated by the challenges of bilateral negotiations between automated agents and by the results and insights of the automated negotiating agents competition (ANAC), we classify and compare state-of-the-art generic acceptance conditions. We focus on decoupled acceptance conditions, i.e. conditions that do not depend on the bidding strategy that is used. We performed extensive experiments to compare the performance of acceptance conditions in combination with a broad range of bidding strategies and negotiation domains. Furthermore we propose new acceptance conditions and we demonstrate that they outperform the other conditions that we study. In particular, it is shown that they outperform the standard acceptance condition of comparing the current offer with the offer the agent is ready to send out. We also provide insight in to why some conditions work better than others and investigate correlations between the properties of the negotiation environment and the efficacy of acceptance conditions.MediamaticsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
