Dancing made easy,
No full textThis is an expanded version of Coll's book that was originally published c. 1919. Beginning with an account of dance history ranging from the ancient Greeks to late nineteenth-century dance, Coll declares that some of "most up to the minute dances" include the Carter Waltz and the Schottisch Espagnole. The author also discusses foxtrot variations and the Virginia Reel, and provides some cotillon figures (also known as the German). The dances described by Coll were long out of fashion by 1922

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
Gabriel Coll i Mulet, mestre Guillemet
No full textSe presenta la biografía del maestro Guillemet, que fue maestro de Santa Eugenia entre 1929 y 1936, desarrollando una tarea extraordinaria para elevar la formación y la cultura no tan sólo del alumnado sino también de la población adulta de la localidad. Era un hombre dedicado, ilusionado por mejorar la educación y la cultura de sus conciudadanos pero sufrió la amargura de la incomprensión y la intolerancia, pues la injusticia de la depuración del servicio y la cárcel, a causa de la Guerra Civil, lo apartaron de la enseñanza, a la que no volvió posteriormente. El volumen se inicia con el contexto histórico y pedagógico, las raíces y la formación pedagógica de Gabriel Coll. A continuación se relatan los primeros destinos y valoraciones a cargo de la Inspección Educativa, la enseñanza en Santa Eugenia antes de 1929 y la tarea que él desarrolló. Se comenta la existencia de un protector, Pere Coll Bibiloni y, en el plano personal, su matrimonio con Magdalena Pons i Palou, también maestra e igualmente depurada. Se analiza la práctica docente desarrollada por este maestro a partir del cuestionario escolar a antiguos alumnos y los recuerdos actuales de éstos. Se describe también el proceso para dar el nombre de este profesional a la escuela de la localidad. El volumen incluye un annexo documental.ES
