Fulton, Bruce. "Social Gatekeeping, the Serendipitous Tie and Discovery: Authors Connecting Readers to Books through Social Media Outreach." Diss., The University of Arizona, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/301549.
Full textAbstract:
In 2011, over 1.5 million new book titles were published in the United States, a 400% increase in just five years compared to 2006. In the same time period, the market share for eBooks increased dramatically and now comprises 20% or more of sales from many of the biggest publishing companies. This hyper-abundance of titles in an increasingly heterogeneous market place has made it difficult for consumers to connect to books they might want to read. This is the discovery problem. It is compounded by the continuing decline of traditional gatekeepers and sources of discovery such as mass media reviews and advertising, as well as the decline of traditional bookstores where people often find books through browse. Authors and publishers therefore have turned to social media to spread the word about their titles. Social gatekeeping, an extension of traditional gatekeeping theory, is proposed as the framework for understanding how author participation in social networks initiates a flow of the diffusion of information over the web and other computer mediated communication channels, and through individuals and social networks to potential readers. Serendipitous browse and discovery is a key strategy for readers to find titles of interest, and the serendipitous tie is proposed as a social mechanism through which individuals discover new titles and bring it back to their social networks to share. To explore these concepts, a random sample of new eBook titles published during the first week of April, 2012 was generated and analyzed in three phases. The first phase of research classified books and authors according to facets such as traditional or self-published, use of social media and other factors. The second phase used multiple regression to establish an association between the use of social media by authors and a title's sales and presence on the Web. The third phase reviewed selected titles for new approaches to social media use and evidence of the serendipitous tie. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that author web presence predicts discoverability and sales.

Full textAbstract:
Altmetrics is a movement that aims to capture new and previously invisible types of impact of scholarly publications on social web platforms such as news sites, Wikipedia, blogs, microblogs, social bookmarking tools and online reference managers. This thesis aimtries to explore the suitability and reliability of two altmetrics resources: Mendeley, a social reference manager website, and Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia, written collaboratively by the people who use it. At present, Wikipedia is the largest online encyclopedia.
The main objectives of this thesis are to explore the use of reference management software and Wikipedia to estimate the readership of academic literature and to compare the evolution in the coverage of LIS literature by altmetric sources and by citation indexes.
To reach these objectives, three different studies were designed. The general method to achive toobtain the initial data set was to search is that we used the Social Sciences Citation Index to retrieve articles and reviews published and indexed in the category “Information Science & Library Science”. Each record was then searched in Mendeley to obtain the number of bookmarks of the paper and the academic status of the users. Additonally, we performed a fifteen-month longitudinal study of the evolution of bookmarks in Mendeley. Afterwards, we searched for each of these articles in Wikipedia, and retrieved all the entries in which they were cited.
The Results results of these studies show that the correlation between bookmarks and citations was moderate and the overlap between the most frequently bookmarked and the most frequently cited papers increased over time. A significant share of the bookmarks were made by students and professionals, although the shares of bookmarks made by different categories of users changed as time went by. Reviews were bookmarked more frequently than articles, and papers in English had more bookmarks than papers in any other language.
Also results reveal severe limitations in the use of Wikipedia citations for research evaluation. Lack of standardization and incompleteness of Wikipedia references make it difficult to retrieve them. The number of Wikipedia citations is very low, A significant number of references are cited in biographical entries about the authors of the articles, resulting in a phenomenon of accumulated advantage. Nearly one-third of the Wikipedia citations link to an open access source, although this result is probably an underestimate of open access availability, given the incompleteness of Wikipedia citations.<br>Altmetrics es un movimiento que tiene como objetivo capturar nuevos tipos de impacto, antes invisibles, de las publicaciones académicas en las plataformas de la web social, tales como sitios de noticias, Wikiped ia, blogs, microblogs, herramientas de marcadores sociales y gestores de referencias en línea. Esta tesis pretende explorar la pertinencia y fiabilidad de dos recursos altmétricos: Mendeley, un sitio web de gestión de referencia social, y Wikipedia, una enciclopedia online gratuita escrita en colaboración por las personas que la utilizan. Actualmente, Wikipedia es la mayor enciclopedia en línea. Los principales objetivos de esta tesis son investigar el uso del software de gestión de referencia y de Wikipedia para estimar el número de lectores de literatura académica y comparar la evolución en la cobertura de la literatura de Ciencias de la Información y Biblioteconomía (Library and Information Science, por sus siglas en inglés), según fuentes altmétricas y por índices de citas.
Para alcanzar estos objetivos, se diseñaron tres estudios diferentes. El método general para acceder al conjunto de datos consistía en utilizar el Social Sciences Citation Index para recuperar revisiones y artículos publicados e indexados en la categoría «Information Science & Library Science». Se buscó cada registro en Mendeley para obtener el número de marcadores del documento y el estatus académico de los usuarios. De manera adicional, realizamos un estudio longitudinal durante quince meses para estudiar la evoluci ón en el número de marcadores. Posteriormente, buscamos cada uno de estos artículos en Wikipedia y recuperamos todas las entradas en las que fueron citados.
Los resultados de estos estudios muestran que la correlación entre los marcadores y las citas era moderada y la coincidencia entre los documentos guardados en marcadores con más frecuencia y los más citados aumentó con el tiempo. Una parte significativa de los marcadores los habían hecho estudiantes y profesionales, aunque el número de marcadores hechos por diferentes categorías de usuarios cambiaron con el paso del tiempo. Las revisiones se guardaban en marcadores con más frecuencia que los artículos, y los documentos en inglés tenían más marcadores que los documentos en cualquier otro idioma.
Los resultados también revelan severas limitaciones en el uso de citas de Wikipedia para la evaluación de investigación. La falta de estandarización y el carácter incompleto de las referencias de Wikipedia dificultan su recuperación. El número de citas de Wikipedia es muy bajo, y un número significativo de referencias se citan en las entradas biográficas dedicadas a los autores de los artículos, lo que supone una ventaja acumulada. Cerca de un tercio de las citas de Wikipedia se vinculan a una fuente de acceso abierto, aunque probablemente este resultado sea una subestimación de la disponibilidad de acceso a estas fuentes, dado que las citas de Wikipedia están incompletas.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the following thesis is to examine if the ideology behind the copyright laws of today poses a threat to creativity and the cultural heritage. The organizations Association of American Publishers and Authors Guild are subject to an ideology- analysis which seeks to examine their ideological views on copyright and the possible threat to creativity such a view brings. The conflict between the two organizations and Google Book Search is used as a context where the ideology is being brought to light. Stanford Law School professor, Lawrence Lessigs work is used as theory and an alternative to the examined view on copyright. The result suggests that the organizations see copyright as the only effective incentive to creation and therefore they think stronger intellectual property laws are needed. They are also engaging in the process of equalising intellectual property with material property, to build a system that defends the old against the new rather than a system that promotes progress. This constitutes an ideology which fully developed might harm the environment for creativity and restraint the publics access to the cultural heritage.<br>Uppsatsnivå: D

Holm, Rikke Heimdal. "Is an Authors Arguments on Reconciliation affected by his background? : Abductive Study on Patterns in Reconciliation Literatur." Thesis, Linnéuniversitetet, Institutionen för samhällsstudier (SS), 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:lnu:diva-54130.
Full textAbstract:
The field of reconciliation literature has grown substantially since the 1990s, and the concept of reconciliation is now associated with many different definitions and actions in the peace building process. In the diverse field of literature on reconciliation authors highlight different aspects as most important which complicates the knowledge of what a successful reconciliation process really is. To have a better understanding of the field of reconciliation and what affects an author, to argue for their specific theory this study will, through the approach of abductive reasoning, research whether the background of an author affects what they research. To represent the field of reconciliation literature an expert sampling of five authors who are all highly referenced and influence the field will be used. To answer the research objective an analytical frame work together with a hermeneutic text analysis will be applied to each authors text to highlight their arguments. Finally the authors arguments and background will be analyzed to find patterns in the texts which could be compared with possible connections or patterns in the authors background. Based on this study the result shows that authors with a background, which is not only academic might have another approach to understanding the reconciliation process but their arguments show no clear patterns which can be connected to the authors background, however understanding why an author argues is important to understand what kind of people are affecting the actions of reconciliation. This study looked at five authors who all represent a very similar background and arguments which can show a tendency in reconciliation literature that the most distinguished authors all share the same background and therefore might not provide any new insight to the field.

Full textAbstract:
Using a corpus-based methodology, this thesis reports a study into how non-native Ghanaian academic authors of English in the disciplines of Sociology, Economics and Law deploy epistemic modality devices as rhetorical features of argumentation in their research articles (RAs) published in journals based in Ghana. The study focuses on understanding the ways in which the use of these rhetorical features by Ghanaian authors compare with their use in international RAs written by native academic authors of English. Based on the aims of the study, two sets of corpora of RAs for the Ghanaian and international authors were created and analysed to compare the use of epistemic modality features between the two groups of authors in terms of: depth of use, diversity of use, linguistic types of epistemic markers, phraseological patterns of notable epistemic markers and degrees of epistemic strength. The quantitative aspects of the comparisons relied mainly on frequency counts of epistemic markers which were supported by Log-likelihood tests to determine significant differences of epistemic use across disciplines and between the two groups of authors. The qualitative aspects (e.g., phraseological pattern analysis) focused mainly on a close inspection of concordance lines for comparisons. The findings of the study revealed that while Ghanaian writers seem to be generally aware of the most important epistemic devices used for academic writing, as they used as wide a range of epistemic devices as their international counterparts, they tended to use these devices significantly less in their RAs. A few cases of overuse and misuse of epistemic modality by Ghanaian writers were also observed. It was found also that many of the disciplinary variation patterns of epistemic use observed in the international RAs did not match with the patterns revealed in the RAs written by the Ghanaian authors. A further important finding was that whereas the international writers generally preferred medium and weak level epistemic markers over strong ones, the Ghanaian writers favoured the use of medium and strong level epistemic markers over weak ones. It also became apparent that the significant underuse of epistemic rhetorical features by the Ghanaian writers could be attributed to the way rhetorical features are represented in academic writing course materials in Ghanaian universities. The findings reported in this thesis suggest that there is the need for Ghanaian academic authors to make language adjustments to their academic writing if their writing practices are to fully adhere to international disciplinary norms and conventions.

Full textAbstract:
In a comparison of two novels, Ways of Dying (1995) and Black Diamond (2009), this dissertation examines Zakes Mda's ongoing use of fiction in presenting incisive social commentary in the post-apartheid literary context. Mda's debut novel is a complex magic realist tale of Toloki, the professional mourner, who journeys from the village to the urban township. It is markedly different from his post-millennial satire, which invokes the social realist form, constructing a rapidly unfolding plot of urban gangsters, crime and sex, in which the characters are more representational than well-developed. While Ways of Dying has been praised as Mda's thought-provoking novel of the transition, Black Diamond has sometimes been criticised as being less able to comment significantly on the state of post-millennial South Africa. Subsequently, this dissertation evaluates the potential of Mda's most recent fictional portrayal of post-apartheid society to provide a meaningful interpretation of and commentary on post-apartheid South Africa, alongside his earlier novel.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Política Social<br>Esta investigação incide sobre o estudo das vulnerabilidades dos autores em Portugal, tendo por base um projeto mais amplo sobre Políticas da Cultura e Planeamento Cultural. Como resultado da literatura é proposto um modelo heurístico para a pesquisa de vulnerabilidades dos autores que considera as dimensões contextuais, subjetivas e objetivas, resultantes, respetivamente, de fatores histórico-contextuais, internos e externos. Recorrendo a uma metodologia qualitativa foram entrevistados onze autores de diversas áreas da autoria em Portugal. Com os resultados obtidos foi possível propor um modelo indutivo. Este modelo é caracterizado por 8 categorias, constituídas por 23 elementos, de vulnerabilidades enfrentadas pelos autores em Portugal. É em parte justificado por os autores serem ‘invisíveis’ aos olhos do sistema político e da sociedade. Identificámos 8 estratégias de superação e a fragmentação das opiniões em relação à criação de um Estatuto do Autor. Foi ainda possível construir um quadro de propostas de intervenção a discutir para uma melhoria das condições de vida dos profissionais do sector e, porventura, corporizar a Cultura como pilar fundamental da sustentabilidade.<br>This investigation focuses on the study of the vulnerabilities of Portuguese authors, with its basis being a wider project about Culture Politics and Cultural Planning. As a result of the reviewed literature, we propose a heuristic model, which researches the authors’ vulnerabilities considering the contextual, subjective, and objective dimensions, of the historical-contextual, internal, and external factors, respectively. Using a qualitative methodology, eleven authors from various authorship backgrounds were interviewed. Therefore, with the results gathered, an inductive model was proposed. This model is comprised of 8 categories, constituted by 23 elements, regarding the vulnerabilities faced by the authors in Portugal. These are partly justified by the authors’ ‘invisibility’ at the eyes of the society and political system. Furthermore, 8 overcoming strategies were identified, as well as the split opinions regarding the creation of an Author’s Constitution. A set of interventional propositions was also produced, with the intent of discussing the improvement of the sector professionals’ living situation, and possibly embody Culture as a fundamental mainstay of sustainability.<br>N/A

Allen, Melanie. "The Short Fiction of Bobbie Ann Mason: Exposing the Problems in American Society & Searching for Some Solutions." TopSCHOLAR®, 1990. https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/2113.
Full textAbstract:
Bobbie Ann Mason uses her fiction to portray the problems in American society. She devotes most of her time to average persons who are suffering from the rapid changes that society is going through. These characters at times seem lost and helpless, but ultimately they do not give up hope for a brighter future. Through social problems such as divorce, lack of communication, loss of identity and place, obsession with the past, submersion in rock music and TV, loss of ritual, proliferation of objects, lack of education, and the need to face mortality, these characters still seem to have hope and strength. There are serious problems to deal with, but there is also a future that can possibly bring better times if the problems can be solved successfully.
But Mason's world is not completely pessimistic and not all of her characters are miserable. Many of them take advantage of the changes in society, and improve their lives. Also, there are still positive values left. They are not as obvious, but they are still there if a person takes the time to look. Not everything has changed for the worse. For example, Mason seems to suggest later marriages. Early marriages lead to discontentment and more
than an abundance of problems, and most of Mason's characters who married younp. are very dissatisfied with their lives. Mason also stresses the fact that most people have the freedom of choice since people no longer have to behave in a certain manner, and society is more accepting than it once was. Mason also points out the peace and contentment that can be found with the land. She says as well that simplicity many times is preferable to the "technological advances" that have driven people to large cities where everyone seems the same, and she Insists that there are still small towns and contented people who inhabit them. Other positive qualities are the fact that we have the opportunity to receive an education, and we still have humor. We can look at the mistakes we have made and find humor in them as well as learn from them. Mason also seems to retain the hope that changes will keep occurring, that people still care enough to fight for a better, less problem-filled life. In subtle ways, Mason's fiction is optimistic.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has investigated the life and publications of Mary Wollstonecraft. The thesis is divided in to three chapters the first chapter explores the political and social context of late Eighteenth century England in which Wollstonecraft lived the majority of her life. It then moves on to discuss the 'Revolution Controversy' and Wollstonecraft's contribution to that debate. Giving specific attention to A Vindication of the Rights of Man as it is Wollstonecraft's first political publication, and was the first published response to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France. Without first publishing A Vindication of the Rights of Man, Wollstonecraft could not have published her most famous work. Next the second chapter investigates Eighteenth century education, and how Wollstonecraft ideas on changing the nature of education would help reform society in her eyes. Education was recognized as having special significance by many Enlightenment philosophers, this thesis looks at the contribution of John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau to educational theory, and they ways in which Wollstonecraft responded to their ideas. In the final chapter the inclusive nature of Wollstonecraft's gender theory is considered. Wollstonecraft is widely recognised as publishing what became for many the founding document of modern western feminism. What is given less recognition is that Wollstonecraft was in fact interested in broad social reform, similar to many other Enlightenment philosophers, Wollstonecraft's social theory included changing education and socialisation for both women and men. Society could not be reformed without changing social and educational practices with regard to both II men and women. Wollstonecraft furthered the contemporary debate on the rights of man to include the rights of woman. Wollstonecraft criticised the unnatural distinctions of gender and class, setting out in both Vindications the negative consequences for the character of both men and women. Another less recognised aspect of Wollstonecraft's philosophy which this thesis has highlighted is the vital role that religion played, and its implications for her ideas. This aspect of Wollstonecraft's thought has tended to be over looked by many Wollstonecraft scholars, who try to place Wollstonecraft in some kind of political and social continuum which I think misses the revolutionary and far sighted nature of Wollstonecraft's philosophy. In taking a historicist approach or understanding to Wollstonecraft, by reading Wollstonecraft in the terms of the political and social environment of the late eighteenth century, it becomes easier to understand the radical nature of Wollstonecraft's ideas, and the personal hardships she faced as both a woman and a member of the lower middle class.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this study is an investigation of cross-channel exchanges represented in travelogues, historical works, journalism, letters and journals written by English women Frances Trollope, Lady Margaret Blessington, George Eliot and Julia Kavanagh on France and by French women Flora Tristan and Marie Dronsart on England. The work is based on the view that narratives about another culture betray preconceptions and beliefs and are never innocent descriptions. Nineteenth-century English descriptions of France, for instance, are not only marked by the stereotype of the gregarious French bon vivant but also by the often tense political relationship and economical concurrence between the two countries. French descriptions of England reflect the consciousness of England's superiority in the domains of economy, industry and colonialism as well as the stereotype of the boring, monosyllabic, haughty, egoistic and often xenophobic Englishman. Given that writings on the other culture are marked by practices and belief systems as well as notions of superiority and inferiority like texts emerging from a colonial context, ideas which have been developed in this field by scholars such as Sara Mills and Reina Lewis have been used as a basis for this investigation. I argue that the women whose texts I analyse strategically employ 'discourses of difference' (to use Sara Mills' term), or alignment and 'othering' in regard to nation, class, and political opinion, in order to gain positions which allow them to challenge contemporary ideologies of femininity. They take advantage of their positions in very different ways, according to their personal, class and economic situations, their agenda, and their gendered position within society which changes significantly during the century. The English women Frances Trollope, Lady Margaret Blessington, George Eliot and Julia Kavanagh construct themselves as part of the tradition of French salonnières from the seventeenth century to the present, while the French women Flora Tristan and Marie Dronsart align themselves with English travel writers, particularly Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Through a careful construction of these foremothers, which often differed from other representations of them, they criticise gender politics in their own country and endeavour to normalise their own activities as intellectuals and writers, in the case of Tristan as a socialist and feminist activist. This strategy is complemented by 'othering' with regard to nation, class and political convictions which confers on the women an authoritative authorial voice and / or allows them to support their argument. They endorse ideologies of gender, nation and class at the same time as they reject some aspects of them. This study reveals new aspects of nineteenth-century discussions of the so-called 'woman question' through a broader approach which encompasses not only the parameters of gender, class and political orientation but also cross-cultural experience.

Hur kokböckers utformning och innehåll har förändrats är ett område som inte har undersökts i större utsträckning. Kokböcker är en del av kulturers måltidshistoria vilket kan ge en insyn till vem maten lagades samt vilken mat som tillagades. Uppsatsen handlar om hur kokböcker förändrats från 1755–1951 sett till design, struktur och innehåll. Fem kokböcker med cirka 50 års mellanrum har studerats för att se likheter och skillnader. Metoden bygger på en innehållsanalys på de fem böckerna där förorden samt recept har sammanställts, analyserats och jämförts mot varandra för att se hur de har förändrats under denna tidsperiod. Resultatet visar att det finns skillnader i böckerna men även en del likheter. Framförallt kan vi se att den tekniska utvecklingen har påverkat böckernas innehåll sett till de råvaror och tillagningsmetoder som användes. Däremot har målgruppen inte förändrats under denna tidsperiod.<br>How cookbooks' design and content have changed is an area that has not been investigated to a greater extent. Cookbooks are part of cultures culinary history, which allows you to understand who the food was cooked for and which food was cooked. The essay is about how cookbooks changed from 1755-1951 in terms of design, structure and content. Five cookbooks with about 50 years intervals have been studied to see similarities and differences. The method is based on a content analysis of five books where the foreword and recipes have been compiled, analyzed and compared to each other to see how they have changed during this time period. The result shows that there are differences in the books but also some similarities. In particular, we can see that technical developments have influenced the contents of the books due to the raw materials and cooking methods that were used. By contrast, the target group has not changed during this period.

Previous issue date: 2013-04-15<br>O objetivo desta pesquisa é apreender os significados de violência atribuídos por
oito mulheres (duas mães, quatro esposas ou companheiras, uma filha e uma irmã)
afetivamente envolvidas com autores de violência sexual (AVS) contra crianças e
adolescentes. As mulheres participantes da pesquisa não são as vítimas da violência,
elas foram indicadas pelos AVS por terem um vinculo afetivo com eles. Os AVS que
indicaram essas mulheres eram atendidos pelo Programa Repropondo do Projeto
Invertendo a Rota (Proinvert) do Centro de Estudos Pesquisas e Extensão Aldeia
Juvenil (Cepaj) do Instituto dom Fernando (IDF) da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de
Goiás (PUC Goiás). Tendo como base a psicologia sócio-histórica, e por meio da
pesquisa qualitativa, norteada pelo método dialético, esta dissertação buscou, com base
nas falas das mulheres, apreender os sentidos que elas atribuíam à violência por eles
praticada. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram divididos em três partes: a) Pesquisa
bibliográfica no Portal da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento Pessoal de Nível Superior
(capes) período 2000 a 2011, com o intuito de conhecer o panorama da literatura sobre o
tema; b) pesquisa documental realizada com o grupo do Proinvert, por meio dos
processos que se encontravam no cartório da Penitenciária Odenir Guimarães; os
processos foram analisados, e identificados todos os sujeitos que cumpriam pena por
violência sexual. Após essa análise, alguns AVS foram convidados para atendimentos
psicoterapêuticos oferecidos pelo projeto e os que aceitaram indicaram uma mulher
significativa em suas vidas. No total, oito mulheres foram entrevistadas nesta pesquisa.
c) Pesquisa empírica, ou seja, as entrevistas semiestruturadas, foram realizadas em
dezesseis encontros, dois com cada mulher. Pretendeu-se buscar o diálogo necessário
para se entender o fenômeno da violência sexual, retirando a violência do silêncio, dos
segredos familiares. As falas, muitas vezes embargada pelo choro, apresentaram-se
como um território repleto de contradições. Contudo, por meio delas pôde-se apreender

internalizaram os papéis sociais e de gênero, atribuídos à mulher ao longo de suas vidas.
O cuidado, o acúmulo de funções e a subordinação foram alguns dos sentidos

Full textAbstract:
De familia de clase media acomodada, Margarita Nelken pudo recibir clases del pintor Eduardo Chicharro, en cuyo taller coincidió, a inicios de la primera década del siglo, con María Blanchar y Diego Rivera, con quien andando el tiempo se había de reencontrar en México. Ahora bien, durante las dos largas décadas de intensa labor de crítica de arte en dicho país no pudo ocuparse de la obra muralista de Diego Rivera por motivos políticos.
A Nelken se la debe el prestigio, no reconocido, de ser una de la primeras críticas de arte que darán a conocer fuera de nuestras fronteras el arte español, que desde Goya había quedado ignorado en los círculos artísticos europeos.
Por otra parte, y adelantándose de nuevo a su tiempo, Margarita Nelken fue una intelectual comprometida a clarificar el papel que le correspondía a la mujer en la sociedad. En su novela La trampa del arenal se constata, a través de una realidad recreada, la denuncia de la marginación social de la mujer. Además, realizó un excelente estudio sobre el papel de la mujer como autora literaria desde la Edad Media hasta Emilia Pardo Bazán en la obra Las escritoras españolas. Resulta significativo la atención que dedica a dos figuras relevantes de mujer: Isabel Rebeca Correa, erudita judía del siglo XVI y la insigne doctora Teresa de Jesús.
En 1931 la Nelken es elegida diputada a Cortes por la provincia de Badajoz, cargo que ocupará en las tres legislaturas. Mujer apasionada y vehemente, se dedicará plenamente a la defensa del campesinado extremeño que sobrevivía en ínfimas condiciones. Es en el llamado “bienio negro” cuando se agravan sus sentimientos de impotencia como diputada parlamentaria, cuando sus letanías sinceras sobre la brutalidad de la represión rural sólo obtenían las respuestas poco serias del ministro de la Gobernación Rafael Salazar Alonso. A raíz del fracaso de la Revolución de Octubre, Nelken acusada de incitar y promover las huelgas campesinas de Badajoz, marcha primero a Francia, en donde contacta con Henry Barbusse. Viaja posteriormente a la Unión Soviética en donde su ideología se impregna de un romanticismo revolucionario.
En esta segunda etapa de la trayectoria vital de Nelken se dará por azar y necesidad una dedicación plena y casi exclusiva a la labor periodística y de crítica de arte. En febrero de 1939 se daba por terminada la contienda y comenzaba el exilio, la salida desde Figueras hasta la frontera, el paso a Francia. Es el paso ya indefectible hacia el exilio definitivo.
Las colaboraciones de Margarita Nelken se encuentran difundidas en gran número de publicaciones mexicanas. Una de ellas es Tribuna Israelita, la revista editada mensualmente por la comunidad judía de México, y que trata de temas políticos y culturales. Desde 1946 hasta 1966 Nelken publicará con regularidad artículos sobre arte de pintores judíos, o sobre el arte en relación con la cultura hebrea. También colaboró con el influyente periódico Excélsior, en el que publicó semanalmente un artículo sobre arte desde principios de los años cuarenta, hasta final de los sesenta.
En resumen, durante casi treinta años Nelken se ocupó sin interrupción (excepto la impuesta por su viaje a Europa en 1948) del arte mexicano. Analizó en su justa medida la pintura femenina, que adquiere en esos años un notable valor, con figuras como Remedios Varo, Frida Kahlo, Alice Rahón, Marysole Wornez, Leonora Carrigton, Lillia Carrillo y María Izquierdo. Y en su vasto panorama crítico comentará con lucidez, a través de premios y exposiciones internacionales, las trayectorias artísticas de pintores españoles como Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Antoni Tapies y Joan Miró.
A lo largo de su trayectoria vital, Margarita Nelken nos dejó tras de sí una intensa labor literaria, periodística y de crítica de arte, en la que no luchó menos que en el campo de la política o el reconocimiento de la mujer. Por tanto, sus análisis del panorama artístico más destacado de la España del primer tercio de siglo y del México del tercio siguiente, hechos con firme y agudo criterio, resultan hoy de un gran interés y utilidad al historiador.<br>Margarita Nelken painter.

Nascemos em uma sociedade analógica e passamos rapidamente para uma sociedade digital, onde a convivência ganha novas formas e a demanda profissional exige cada vez mais experiência. Nesta nova sociedade, o software se torna cada vez mais necessário, uma vez que se trata de uma programação necessária para o funcionamento da maioria das ferramentas hoje disponibilizadas. Surgem então, movimentos onde desenvolvedores trocam conhecimento e compartilham seus trabalhos por meio de comunidades virtuais. As comunidades atuais que se mostram voltadas ao idealismo do software livre, não se mostram preocupadas com o colaborador enquanto pessoa individual com necessidades financeiras, bem como a disponibilização de avisos legais numa linguagem acessível que orientem e esclareçam seus colaboradores e usuários quanto aos respectivos direitos e deveres. Além disso, há uma carência de software educacional acessível à grande massa, ou seja, geralmente são software proprietários com custo relativamente oneroso para algumas instituições, ou mesmo para o usuário final. Neste trabalho, foram realizadas entrevistas e pesquisa de doutrina, de comunidades existentes e respectivos modelos de negócios, a partir das quais foi gerada uma comparação qualitativa entre comunidades existentes. Este trabalho apresenta a proposta de um ambiente para a gestão de projetos de desenvolvimento colaborativo de software educacionais por meio de um modelo de remuneração pela distribuição de recursos obtidos na comunidade (por patrocínios, doações e ou microtarifação pelo serviço de download dos software), bem como a orientação sobre os aspectos legais no próprio ambiente, por meio de documentos e avisos legais durante a navegação do usuário. Busca-se incentivar a atuação de jovens talentos em computação e de profissionais de educação no desenvolvimento de software educacionais. Um protótipo do ambiente proposto foi implementado e disponibilizado para testes preliminares e respectiva avaliação.<br>We had born in an analog society and moved rapidly towards to a digital society, where the coexistence wins new ways and demand requires more professional experience. In this new society, the software becomes increasingly necessary, since this is a programming necessary for the functioning of most of the tools available today. There then emerge where developers exchange knowledge and share their work through virtual communities. The communities that are working today aimed to idealism of free software, and they are not worried about the users as an individual contributor, and the provision of legal notices in plain language that direct and clarify its employees and users about their rights and duties. Moreover, there is a lack of educational software available to the mass, which is usually proprietary software, with cost relatively costly for some institutions, or even to the end user. In this work, and interviews were conducted search of doctrine, communities and their existing business models, from which it was generated a qualitative comparison between existing communities. This paper presents a proposal for an environment for the management of development projects collaborative educational software through a model of remuneration for the distribution of funds obtained in the community (for sponsorships, donations and micro rate or by the service of software downloading) and such as guidance on the legal tool in itself, through documents and legal disclaimer during navigation of the user. Search is to encourage the performance of young talent in computing and professional education in the development of educational software. A prototype of the proposed environment has been implemented and made available for preliminary testing and its evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to explore Marcus Tullius Cicero's awareness and
interpretation of contemporary political events as reflected in his private correspondence
during the last years of both the Roman republic and his own life. Cicero's
correspondence gives a detailed view of current political events in Rome and constitutes,
with Caesar's own narrative, our major contemporary evidence for the circumstances of
the civil war of 49 BC.
The dissertation takes as Leitmotiv Cicero's own judgement of the state as 'sacrificial
victim' to the ambitions of individual politicians, with as metaphor his examination of a
'dying' body politic in the manner of a haruspex inspecting the entrails of a sacrificial
animal. It poses the question whether Cicero understood the message of political decline
signalled by the 'entrails' of the 'carcass' of the res publica, and whether this ability in its
turn enabled him to anticipate future political development in Rome.
In what follows, the theoretical input of Cicero's predecessors, their perceptions of
constitutional development, and of Roman politics in particular, as well as Cicero's own
perception of their political theories will be considered in order to determine the extent of
Cicero's awareness of a larger pattern of political events, and how consistent he was in
his analyses of such patterns, that is, to what extent Cicero may be considered seriously
as a political analyst.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die oogmerk van die verhandeling is om vas te stel of Marcus Tullius Cicero met reg
daaop kan aanspraak maak dat hy eietydse politieke gebeure sinvol kon interpreteer as die
manifestering van 'n nuwe politieke stroming wat die voorkoms van die toekomstige
Romeinse politieke toneel sou bepaal.
Cicero se waarneming en begrip van eietydse politieke gebeure in die laaste paar jaar van
die Romeinse Republiek en sy eie lewe word tekenend weerspieël in sy persoonlike
briefwisseling uit die tydperk 51 tot 43 v.C. As historiese dokument bied hierdie
korrespondensie, as primêre bronmateriaal, naas die behoue kontemporêre beriggewing
van Julius Caesar, die enigste ander kontemporêre getuienis vir die uitbreek en nadraai
van die burgeroorlog van 49 v.C.
Die sentrale tema van die verhandeling is Cicero se persepsie van die Romeinse staat as
die 'slagoffer' van magsugtige politieke rolspelers. Cicero se rol as waarnemer en
politieke analis word uitgebeeld deur die metafoor van 'n haruspex (profeet) wat die
'ingewande' van die 'karkas' van die gestorwe Romeinse Republiek ondersoek. Die
kernvraag wat gestel word is, of Cicero inderdaad daartoe in staat was om die boodskap
van politieke verandering raak te lees, die implikasies daarvan te begryp en daarvolgens
'n beredeneerde toekomsprojeksie van die Romeinse politieke toneel te maak.
Om te bepaal of Cicero meriete verdien as 'n politieke analis, word die volgende kriteria
as toetsstene gebruik: die teoretiese insette van Cicero se voorgangers en sy beheersing
van sodanige politieke teoretisering, die mate waarin hy konsekwent en objektief kon
oordeel, en die mate waarin hy teorie en die praktiese werklikheid van die Romeinse
politieke situasie kon integreer.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines the socio-cultural issues in the praise poems of three Xhosa chiefs,
namely, Nkosi Whyte Lent Mbali Maqoma of the amaJingqi, Nkosi Doyle Mpuhle Jongilanga
of Dushane of Ndlambe and Nkosi Sipho Mangindi Burns-Ncamashe of amaGwali of
Tshiwo. What comes out clear in the poems of these chiefs is that they experienced power
problems after and before 1994. Their poetry protests about these political influences and
calls for the restoration of the dignity of the chieftancy.
The socio-cultural aspects of the praise poems of each chief are devoted to a chapter:
Nkosi Whyte Lent Mbali Maqoma in Chapter 2, Nkosi Doyle Mpuhle Jongilanga in Chapter
3, and Nkosi Sipho Mangindi Burns-Ncamashe in Chapter 4. Attention is paid to each
chiefs genealogy, praise names, names of oxen because of traditional significance in the
life of the chief, the chiefs mother, and place names which have historical importance in
the life of the chief.
As part of the theoretical framework of praise poetry, praise poetry theory is handled in
Chapter 1 of the study.
It is concluded in Chapter 5 that Xhosa paramount chiefs still play and will playa crucial
socio-cultural role in their communities. They are not only concerned about being
custodians of culture but also with the development of their nations.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek sosio-kulturele vraagstukke in die prysgedigte van drie Xhosa

Mangindi Burns-Ncamashe van die amaGwali groep van die Tshiwo. Die beeld wat na
vore kom na aanleiding van 'n analise van die opperhoofde se prysgedigte dat hulle 'n
magsprobleem ondervind het sowel voor as na 1994. Deur hulle poesie teken hulle protes
aan oor bepaalde politieke invloede en hulle doen 'n beroep daarop dat die waardigheid
van die hoofmanskap herstel word.
Die sosio-kulturele vraagstukke wat na vore kom in die prysgedigte van elke opperhoof
word behandel in individuele hoofstukke. Hoofstuk 2 ondersoek die prysgedigte van
opperhoof Whyte Lent Mbali Maqoma, Hoofstuk 3 die prysgedigte van opperhoof Doyle
Mpuhle Jongilanga, en Hoofstuk 4, die prysgedigte van opperhoof Sipho Mangindi Burns-

die name van beeste, op grond van hulle tradisionele betekenis in die lewe van 'n
hoofman, die opperhoof se moeder, asook plekname wat 'n historiese belang het in die
lewe van die opperhoof.
As deel van die teoretiese raamwerk vir die studie word die teorie van die prysgedig
behandel in Hoofstuk 1.
Hoofstuk 5 gee 'n samevatting van die belangrikste aspekte van die studie en motiveer die
gevolgtrekking dat opperhoofde steeds 'n essenstele sosio-kulturele rol speel en ook in die

Full textAbstract:
[EN] The possibility of knowing people traits on the basis of what they write is a field of growing interest named author profiling. To infer a user's gender, age, native language or personality traits, simply by analysing her texts, opens a wide range of possibilities from the point of view of forensics, security and marketing.
Furthermore, social media proliferation, which allows for new communication models and human relations, strengthens this wide range of possibilities to bounds never seen before. Idiosyncrasy inherent to social media makes them a special environment of communication, where freedom of expression, informality and spontaneous generation of topics and trends, enhances the knowledge of the daily reality of people in their use of language. However, the same idiosyncrasy makes difficult, or extremely costly, the application of linguistic techniques.
In this work we have proposed EmoGraph, a graph-based approach with the aim at modelling the way that users express their emotions, and the way they include them in their discourse, bearing in mind not only their frequency of occurrence, but also their position and relationship with other elements in the discourse. Our starting hypothesis is that users express themselves and their emotions differently depending on their age and gender, and besides, we think that this is independent on their language and social media where they write. We have collaborated in the creation of a common framework of evaluation at the PAN Lab of CLEF, generating resources that allowed us to verify our hypothesis achieving comparable and competitive results with the best ones obtained by other researchers on the field.
In addition, we have investigated whether the expression of emotions would help to differentiate among users of different varieties of the same language, for example, Spanish from Spain, Mexican and Argentinian, or Portuguese from Portugal and Brazil. Our hypothesis is that the variation among languages is based more on lexical aspects, and we have corroborated it after comparing EmoGraph with representations based on word patterns, distributed representations and a representation that uses the whole vocabulary, but reducing its dimensionality to only 6 features per class, what is suitable for its application to big data environments such as social media.<br>[ES] La posibilidad de conocer rasgos de una persona a partir únicamente de los textos que escribe se ha convertido en un área de gran interés denominada author profiling. Ser capaz de inferir de un usuario su sexo, edad, idioma nativo o los rasgos de su personalidad, simplemente analizando sus textos, abre todo un abanico de posibilidades desde el punto de vista forense, de la seguridad o del marketing.
Además, la proliferación de los medios sociales, que favorece nuevos modelos de comunicación y relación humana, potencia este abanico de posibilidades hasta cotas nunca antes vistas. La idiosincrasia inherente a estos medios sociales hace de ellos un entorno de comunicación especial, donde la libertad de expresión, la informalidad y la generación espontánea de temáticas y tendencias propician el acercamiento a la realidad diaria de las personas en su uso de la lengua. Sin embargo, esa misma idiosincrasia hace que en muchas ocasiones la aplicación de técnicas lingüísticas de análisis no sea posible, o sea extremadamente costoso.
En este trabajo hemos propuesto EmoGraph, una representación basada en grafos con el objetivo de modelar el modo en que los usuarios expresan sus emociones, y el modo en que las articulan en el marco de su discurso, teniendo en consideración no sólo su frecuencia, sino también su posición y relación con y respecto a los elementos del mismo. Nuestra hipótesis de partida es que los usuarios se expresan y expresan sus emociones de manera diferente dependiendo de su edad y sexo, y además, pensamos que esto es así independientemente de su idioma y del medio donde escriban. Hemos colaborado en la creación de un marco común de evaluación en el laboratorio PAN del CLEF, generando recursos que nos han permitido verificar nuestra hipótesis y conseguir resultados comparables y competitivos con los mejores resultados obtenidos por los investigadores del área.
Además, hemos querido investigar si la expresión de emociones permitiría diferenciar entre hablantes de diferentes variedades de una misma lengua, por ejemplo españoles, mexicanos o argentinos, o portugueses y brasileños. Nuestra hipótesis es que la variación entre lenguas se basa más en aspectos léxicos, y así lo hemos corroborado tras comparar EmoGraph con representaciones basadas en patrones, representaciones distribuidas y una representación que toma en consideración el vocabulario completo, pero reduciendo su dimensionalidad a únicamente 6 características por clase y que se erige idónea para su aplicación en entornos big data como los medios sociales.<br>[CAT] La possibilitat de conèixer trets d'una persona únicament a partir dels textos que escriu s'ha convertit en una àrea de gran interès anomenada author profiling. Ser capaç d'inferir d'un usuari el sexe, l'edat, l'idioma nadiu o els trets de la seua personalitat tan sols analitzant els seus textos, obre tot un ventall de possibilitats des del punt de vista forense, de la seguretat o del màrketing.
A més, la proliferació dels mitjans socials, que afavoreix nous models de comunicació i de relació humana, potencia aquest ventall de possibilitats fins a cotes que no s'han vist fins ara. La idiosincràsia inherent a aquests mitjans socials en fa d'ells un entorn de comunicació especial, on la llibertat d'expressió, la informalitat i la generació espontània de temàtiques i tendències propicien l'aproximació a la realitat diària de les persones en l'ús que fan de la llengua. Tanmateix, aquesta idiosincràsia fa que en moltes ocasions no es puguin aplicar tècniques lingüístiques d'anàlisi, o que fer-ho resulti extremadament costós.
En aquest treball hem proposat EmoGraph, una representació basada en grafs que té l'objectiu de modelar la manera en què els usaris expressen les seves emocions, i la manera com les articulen en el marc de llur discurs, considerant-ne no només la freqüència sinó també la posició i la relació amb i respecte als elements del discurs. La nostra hipòtesi de partida és que els usuaris s'expressen i expressen llurs emocions de manera diferent depenent de l'edat i el sexe, i a més, pensem que això és així independentment de l'idioma i del mitjà en què escriguin. Hem col·laborat en la creació d'un marc comú d'avaluació al laboratori PAN del CLEF, generant recursos que ens han permès verificar la nostra hipòtesi i aconseguir resultats comparables i competitius amb els millors resultats obtinguts pels investigadors de l'àrea.
A més, hem volgut investigar si l'expressió d'emocions permetria establir diferències enre parlants de diferents varietats d'una mateixa llengua, per exemple espanyols, mexicans o argentins, o portuguesos i brasilers. La nostra hipòtesi és que la variació entre llengües es basa més en aspectes lèxics, i així ho hem corroborat després de comparar EmoGraph amb representacions basades en patrons, representacions distribuïdes i una representació que considera el vocabulari complet, però reduint-ne la dimensionalitat només a 6 característiques per classe i que s'erigeix de manera idònia per a aplicar-la en entorns big data com els mitjans socials.<br>Rangel Pardo, FM.

Previous issue date: 2015-03-30<br>The main theme of this thesis has its center in the analysis of social representations about the victims of sexual violence in the conception of twenty-six authors of sexual violence (AVS) against children and adolescents, imprisoned in Prison Coronel Odenir Guimarães (POG), in the city of Aparecida Goiânia, State of Goiás, Brasil. The qualitative approach methodology leads the investigative task and the theoretical support searches the knowledge of Social Sciences and the Social Representation Theory, which rise the reflection beyond the individual, considering the conceptual, historical, scientific, media, legal and institutional contexts. The presentation of the interviewees is based on two perspectives: the prison institution, through documentary research in the records of the AVS and the interviewees from sixty-one personal contacts "interviewer-interviewees", mixed by the formal conduct characterized by the filling of the standard questionnaire and dialogues, both purposely targeted the themes: life history, sexualities (for themselves and their victims), children and adolescents, practiced and suffered sexual violence, victims of sexual violence, among others, like the moments of encouragement to free events and narratives of AVS. The result of the interviews showed two constants among AVS, from the empirical field: most categorize people who practice sexual violence as monsters, sick or abnormal and the different facets between denying and assuming the violence. From the perspective of the author of this document, the analysis of the AVS´s social representations about the victims elected three units of meaning: victims and victims of sexual violence, children/adolescents and sexuality (of victims and AVS). The main findings indicate that respondents recognize children and adolescents who experience sexual contact with adults as victims, relation named as a violence and a morally reprehensible act; list harmful consequences of sexual violence for the victims and also for themselves, showing their inseparability; present contradiction between not distinguishing categories as children and adolescents (both represented as biological immature, mental and emotional) and rank crimes from age category; nominate children and adolescents in sexual interaction with adults as innocent, seductive and co-authors, but always victims; show that sexual desire, if any, is directed only to the victims of the violence they committed, and not to other children and adolescents; show crystallization of the role as an author and victim of violence from the gender category; report various negative emotions about themselves in relation to the sexual violence they practiced and the caused consequences in the lives of their victims, such as repentance, disgust, anger, guilt, shame, self-image of monstrosity. Their representations are similar with the three concepts parameters adopted and with those produced and reproduced by common sense, media, law, literature and institutional discourses. The findings shown in this work and the analytical approach used inquire the assertion of part of the international literature on the fact that the AVS fail to recognize the emotional needs of their victims, because they would present empathy deficits toward them, explaining the problem in a strictly intrapsychological bias. Finally, and based on authors of the areas of Social Sciences, appears as necessary the exercise of a new interpretation that links between individual and social experience of AVS to the dominant psychosocial theories, as a contribution to the field of specialized Brazilian studies on the AVS, as well as provide professionals the minimum knowledge to the treatment in the legal field, and treatment in the field of physical and mental health of AVS, in here seen beyond the stereotypes that are charged on them before being on trial.<br>O tema principal desta tese tem como centro a análise das representações sociais sobre as vítimas de violência sexual na concepção de vinte e seis autores de violência sexual (AVS) contra crianças e adolescentes, encarcerados na Penitenciária Coronel Odenir Guimarães (POG), situada na cidade de Aparecida de Goiânia, Estado de Goiás, Brasil. A metodologia da abordagem qualitativa conduz a tarefa investigativa e o amparo teórico busca os saberes das Ciências Sociais e da Teoria das Representações Sociais, que suscitam a reflexão para além do indivíduo, considerando os contextos conceitual, histórico, científico, midiático, jurídico e institucional. A apresentação dos entrevistados tem como fundamento duas perspectivas: a da instituição prisional, por meio da pesquisa documental nos prontuários dos AVS e a dos entrevistados, a partir de sessenta e um contatos pessoais “entrevistador-entrevistados”, mesclados pela conduta formal caracterizada pelo preenchimento do questionário padrão e pelos diálogos, tanto os propositadamente direcionados aos temas: história de vida, sexualidades (de si próprios e de suas vítimas), crianças e adolescentes, violência sexual praticada e sofrida, vítimas de violência sexual, dentre outros, como os momentos de estímulo às manifestações livres e narrativas dos AVS. O resultado das entrevistas evidenciou duas constantes entre os AVS, a partir do campo empírico: a maioria rotula como monstros, doentes ou anormais as pessoas que praticam violência sexual e as diferentes facetas entre negar e assumir a violência. Sob a ótica da autora deste documento, a análise das representações sociais dos AVS sobre as vítimas de violência sexual elegeu três unidades de significação: vítimas e vítimas de violência sexual, crianças/adolescentes e sexualidade (das vítimas e dos AVS). As principais conclusões indicam que os entrevistados reconhecem crianças e adolescentes que experimentam contato sexual com adultos na condição de vítimas, relação esta nomeada como uma violência e um ato moralmente condenável; elencam consequências maléficas da violência sexual para as vítimas e também para si próprios, evidenciando sua indissociabilidade; apresentam contradição entre não realizar distinção entre as categorias crianças e adolescentes (ambas representadas como imaturas biológica, psíquica e emocionalmente) e hierarquizar crimes a partir da categoria idade; nomeiam crianças e adolescentes em interação sexual com adultos como inocentes, sedutoras e coautoras, mas sempre vítimas; manifestam que o desejo sexual, quando existente, está direcionado apenas às vítimas das violências que cometeram, e não a outras crianças e adolescentes; demonstram cristalização dos lugares de autor e de vítima de violência a partir da categoria gênero; relatam diversas emoções negativas sobre si próprios em relação à violência sexual praticada e às consequências provocadas nas vidas de suas vítimas, tais como arrependimento, nojo, raiva, culpa, vergonha, autoimagem de monstruosidade. Suas representações estão em consonância com os três conceitos parâmetros adotados e com aquelas produzidas e reproduzidas pelo senso comum, mídia, legislação, literatura especializada e discursos institucionais. Os achados evidenciados neste trabalho e a abordagem analítica empregada indagam a asserção de parte da literatura especializada internacional quanto ao fato de que os AVS não conseguem reconhecer as necessidades emocionais de suas vítimas, pois apresentariam déficits de empatia para com elas, explicando o problema sob um viés estritamente intrapsicológico. Finalizando, e com base em autores das áreas das Ciências Sociais, surge como necessário o exercício de uma nova interpretação que vincule entre a experiência individual e social dos AVS às teorias psicossociais dominantes, como forma de contribuir para o campo dos estudos brasileiros especializados sobre os AVS, como também proporcionar aos profissionais da área, a tranquilidade e o conhecimento mínimos para o trato, no campo jurídico, e para o tratamento, no campo da saúde física e mental dos AVS, aqui vistos para além dos estereótipos que lhes são imputados antes mesmo de serem julgados.

Full textAbstract:
Following recent critical work on writers' representations of sociability in Romantic literature, this thesis examines in detail the textual strategies (such as allusion, acts of address, and the use of 'coterie' symbols or references) which writers used to seek to establish a friendly or sympathetic relationship with a particular reader or readers, or to create and define a sense of community identity between readers. The thesis focuses on specific relationships between pairs and groups of writers (who form one another's first readers), and examines 'sociable' genres like letters, manuscript albums, occasional poetry, and periodical essays in a diverse series of author case-studies (Anna Barbauld, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Charles Lamb, John Keats and Leigh Hunt). Such genres, the thesis argues, show how manuscript and print culture could frequently overlap and intersect, meaning that writers confronted the demands of two co-existing audiences - one private and familiar, the other public and unknown - in the same work. Rather than arguing that writers used manuscript culture practices and produced 'coterie' works purely to avoid confronting their anxieties about publishing in the commercial sphere of print culture, the thesis suggests that in producing such 'coterie' works writers engaged with and reflected contemporary philosophical and political concerns about the relationship between the individual and wider communities. In these works, writers engaged with the legacy of eighteenth-century philosophical ideas about the role (and limitations) of the sympathetic imagination in maintaining social communities, and with interpretative theories about the best kind of reader. Furthermore, the thesis argues that reading literary texts in the specific, material context in which they are 'published' to particular readers, either in print, manuscript, or letters, is vital to understanding writer/reader relationships in the Romantic period. This approach reveals how within each publication space, individual texts could be placed (either by their writers, by editors, or by other readers) in meaningful relationships with other texts, absorbing or appropriating them into new interpretative contexts.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I explore the significance of the publication of Betty Friedan�s The Feminine Mystique (1963) to the emergence of the second wave Women�s Liberation Movement in the US in the late 1960s. To this end, I deploy key concepts provided through social movement theory (eg collective identity, collective action frames, social problem construction). I also incorporate Max Weber and Antonio Gramsci�s insights on the indispensable role played by leaders who demonstrate a clear and effective political will. Weber�s three part model of pure charisma is used as a general template for understanding the impact of Friedan�s text. I critique aspects of Weber�s theory of charisma, in particular his failure to appreciate that the written word can mark the initial emergence phase of charisma rather than its routinisation. I augment Weber�s insights on charismatic leadership by attending to Gramsci�s emphasis on the necessity of winning the �war of ideas� that must be waged at the level of civil society within advanced capitalist societies. I examine Gramsci�s understanding of the power available to the organic intellectual who is aligned with the interests of subaltern groups and who succeeds in revealing the hegemonic commitments of accepted �common sense�. In the latter part of this thesis, I apply these many useful concepts to my case study analysis of Betty Friedan�s The Feminine Mystique. I argue that Friedan�s accessible, middlebrow text gave birth to a new discursive politics which was critically important not only for older women, but for a younger generation of more radicalised women. I emphasise how Friedan�s text mounted a concerted attack on the discursive construction of femininity under patriarchal capitalism. I question Friedan�s diagnostic claim that the problems American women faced were adequately captured by the terminology of the trapped housewife syndrome. I conclude by arguing that social movement researchers have to date failed to appreciate the leadership potential of the charismatic author-leader who succeeds in addressing and offering a solution to a pressing social problem through the medium of a best-selling, middlebrow text.

Full textAbstract:
The task of analyzing a text of interest in order to find demographicinformation of an unknown author based on how the text is written,called author profiling, has become a problem of growing interest.Author profiling can for instance be used in crime investigations togain more information about a possible suspect, which could forexample be a potential violent lone actor that reveals an intentionof committing targeted violence. Machine learning algorithms offers an efficient approach to performauthor profiling. Previous work in author profiling have mostly usedtraditional machine learning algorithms where features are manuallyextracted, which the algorithms base their prediction on. However,in this thesis we compare two different approaches towards authorprofiling, one where the features are manually extracted using thelearning algorithms Support Vector Machine and Feed-Forward NeuralNetworks and one where the features are learned from raw datausing the learning algorithms Convolutional Neural Networks and LongShort-Term Memory. These learning algorithms were used to predictthe gender, age and native language from a text of an unknown author.Also, to get an understanding of how well author profiling works inthe wild, we tested our models on a different domain than they weretrained on. The results showed that in our setting, manually extracted featuresworked better for author profiling. Also, applying learning algorithms toa different domain than they were trained on significantly decreased theperformance. In addition, the results showed that the characteristics ofthe datasets and the chosen hyperparameters for each learning algorithmwere essential for the performance.

Full textAbstract:
<p>This exploratory study applies social network analysis techniques to existing, publicly available data to understand collaboration patterns within the co-author network of a federally-funded, interdisciplinary research program. The central questions asked: What underlying social capital structures can be determined about a group of researchers from bibliometric data and other publicly available existing data? What are ways social network tools characterize the interdisciplinarity or cross-disciplinarity of co-author teams? The names of 411 grantees were searched in the Web of Science indexing database; author information from the WoS search results resulted in a 191-member co-author network. Research domains were included as attribute data for the co-author network. UCINet social network analysis software calculated a large 60 node component and two larger components with 12 and 8 nodes respectively, the remainder of the network consisted of smaller 2-5 node components. Within the 191-node co-author network the following analyses were performed to learn more about the structural social capital of this group: Degree and Eigenvector centrality measures, brokerage measures, and constraint measures. Additionally, ten randomly selected dyads and the five 4-node cliques within the 191-node network were examined to find patterns of cross-disciplinary collaboration among researcher and within award teams. Award numbers were added as attribute data to five 4-node cliques and 10 random dyads; these showed instances of collaboration among interdisciplinary award teams. Collaboration patterns across disciplines are discussed. Data from this research could serve as a baseline measure for growth in future analyses of the case studied. This method is recommended as a tool to gain insights to a research community and to track publication collaboration growth over time. This research method shows potential as a way to identify aspects of a research community?s social structural capital, particularly within an interdisciplinary network to highlight where researchers are working well together or to learn where there is little collaboration.

Full textAbstract:
As Ciências Sociais e Humanas (CSH) vêm enfrentando problemas para ter sua produção acadêmica integralmente reconhecida pelos sistemas de avaliação em todo o mundo. Tanto o processo de avaliação por pares quanto a mensuração por dados cientométricos possuem características distintas que afetam a maneira como a pesquisa é avaliada, mas a utilização de indicadores de citação de bases de dados internacionais como a Web of Science (WoS) em sistemas nacionais de avaliação têm sido especialmente desfavorável às CSH, devido às suas características singulares de publicação. Objetivo: apresentar uma síntese da literatura sobre avaliação da produção científica das CSH para compreender como os especialistas neste tema tratam das questões atuais já mencionadas. Metodologia: revisão de literatura. Um corpus composto de 107 artigos de periódicos foi recuperado por busca livre na WoS e na produção científica disponível na rede científica Research Gate, passando posteriormente por seleção final a partir de critérios qualitativos. Procedeu-se em sequência uma análise bibliométrica e uma análise qualitativa do corpus. Resultados: em termos geográficos e institucionais, a principal produção do corpus é oriunda da Espanha (CSIC), Bélgica (Universidade da Antuérpia) e Holanda (Universidade de Leiden). As publicações mais frequentes foram Scientometrics, Research Evaluation e Journal of American Society of Information Science and Technology, sendo que 43% dos periódicos do corpus são de Ciência da Informação. A avaliação quantitativa das CSH está presente em 81,3% do corpus, a avaliação qualitativa, em 42,1% e a mista, em 15%. As pesquisas empíricas formam 80,4% do corpus. Estudos reflexivos e propositivos formam 9,3% do corpus, são na maioria pesquisas empíricas (80%) e tendem a abordar a avaliação das CSH como um processo ao mesmo tempo quantitativo e qualitativo (70%). Conclusões: a literatura recuperada sobre avaliação da produção das CSH encontra-se em fase intermediária de desenvolvimento, apontando algumas alternativas, propostas e estudos aplicados para adequação dos instrumentos de avaliação. A Ciência da Informação emerge como disciplina proeminente na análise deste objeto em consolidação. Apesar de se identificar uma tendência ao uso de instrumentos que combinem aspectos quantitativos e qualitativos da produção, indicadores voltados à avaliação das CSH ainda estão por ser criados e não existe um modelo avaliativo que se possa apontar como consensual.<br>Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) are facing problems to have their scholar output fully recognized by evaluation systems worldwide. Both peer review and scientometric data have different characteristics that can influence the way the research is evaluated, but the usage of citation indicators in international databases such as Web of Science (WoS) for national evaluation systems has been especially harmful to SSH, due to their peculiar characteristics of publication. Aim: present a synthesis of the literature on evaluation of the SSH output and perceive how specialists deal with these current questions. Methods: literature review. A corpus composed of 107 journal articles was retrieved by direct search in WoS and also from the output available in the scientific network Research Gate. A final selection was made based on qualitative criteria. A bibliometric analysis and a qualitative analysis were carried out in sequence. Results and discussions: geographic and institutional distribution show that the main output of the corpus comes from Spain (CSIC), Belgium (University of Antwerp) and The Netherlands (University of Leiden). The most frequent publications were Scientometrics, Research Evaluation and Journal of the American Society of Information Science and Technology, and 43% of journals belong to the Information Science area. The quantitative evaluation of SSH is present in 81.3% of the corpus; the qualitative evaluation, in 42.1% and the mixed evaluation, in 15%. Empirical studies form 80.4% of the corpus. Reflective and propositional studies form 9.3% of the corpus, and they are mostly empirical research (80%) and also tend to approach the evaluation of SSH as a process both quantitative and qualitative (70%). Conclusions: the literature on evaluation of SSH output is in an intermediate stage of development, in which some alternatives, proposals and applied studies to the adequacy of evaluation instruments are pointed out. Information Science emerges as a prominent discipline in the analysis of this object, which is in consolidation. Although there is a tendency to use tools that combine quantitative and qualitative aspects of the output, an indicator for SSH evaluation has not yet been created and there is no assessment model that can be identified as consensual.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med uppsatsen var att ta reda på vilka bloggstrategier några av Sveriges framstående bloggskribenter använt/använder för att nå framgång med sin blogg, hur de skapat sig ett framgångsrikt personligt varumärke via bloggen, samt vad de tror motiverar företag att använda deras blogg som marknadsföringskanal. Bloggskribenternas syn kompletteras med två företags perspektiv på fenomenet, dels ett företag som arbetar som annonsförmedlare mellan företag och bloggare, dels ett modeföretag som har god vana av denna marknadsföringskanal. För få frågeställningarna besvarade har en kvalitativ studie genomförts med hjälp av en webbenkät med totalt elva respondenter. Resultatet visade att bloggskribenterna själva anser att de inte använder några utstuderade bloggstrategier för att nå framgång. Vidare visade resultatet att skapandet av ett personligt varumärke via en blogg möjliggörs av en utav bloggaren utmärkande personlighet och bloggstrategier. I sin tur motiveras företagen att använda bloggen som marknadsföringskanal främst av tre orsaker – bloggens totala räckvidd, möjligheten till ökad målgruppsträff och bloggskribentens trovärdighet gentemot läsarna. Företagen är ute efter en marknadsföringskanal där de lättare når sin målgrupp via viral marknadsföring från en ur läsarnas perspektiv trovärdig person. För att bloggaren ska lyckas behålla sin trovärdighet gentemot läsarna måste denne sälja in företagens produkter på ett förtroendeingivande sätt. Alla bloggskribenter har inte en utmärkande personlighet, ett starkt personligt varumärke, fungerande bloggstrategier och talangen samt finessen att marknadsföra produkter vilket leder till att enbart en minoritet når framgång med sin blogg.<br>The purpose of this paper was to find out which blog strategies some of Sweden's leading blog writers used / are using to achieve success with their blog, how they created a successful personal brand through their blog, and what they think motivates companies to use their blog as a marketing channel. Blog writers view is complemented by two corporate perspective on the phenomenon, one company working as an advertising intermediary between companies and blog authors, and one fashion company that have good experience of this marketing channel. To get the questions answered a qualitative study was used, with the help of a web survey eleven respondents participated. The results showed that the blog writers themselves believe that they are not using any special blog strategies for reaching success. Furthermore, results showed that the creation of a personal brand through a blog is made possible by the bloggers’ distinctive personality and blog strategies. Corporations are motivated to use the blog as a marketing channel for three main reasons- the blogs overall range, the possibility of increased target hit and the blog writer's credibility towards the readers. Corporations are looking for a marketing channel where they easier reach their main audience through viral marketing from a, out of the readers' perspective, trustworthy person. For the blogger to retain credibility towards the readers, they must sell the products in trustworthy manner. All blog writers do not have a distinctive personality, a strong personal brand, functioning blog strategies and the talent and finesse to market products, which results in a minority of bloggers reaching success with their blog.

A verificação de intertextualidade entre os contos Branca de Neve e Chapeuzinho Vermelho , dos irmãos Grimm e A menina enterrada viva e A menina dos brincos de ouro , de Câmara Cascudo, dá indícios de uma tradução cultural específica do Nordeste brasileiro, a qual, além de atualizar arquétipos e interditos sociais, está adequada aos objetivos do Movimento Regionalista do Nordeste, projeto cultural idealizado por Gilberto Freyre em 1926, em prol da valorização daquela região. Um estudo, baseado no Manifesto Regionalista do Nordeste, possibilita a verificação da prática cotidiana de tradução cultural, na adaptação das narrativas populares, feita primeiramente por homens ordinários, dado o espaço de circulação dos contos. Posterior a isso, mas sem precisar o início do segundo momento da tradução, verifica-se, no trabalho do auctor social Luís da Câmara Cascudo, adepto do Movimento freyreano, a intenção de tornar essas narrativas também registros do patrimônio nacional, visto que elas foram publicadas na obra intitulada Contos tradicionais do Brasil, editada pela primeira vez em 1946.<br>Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-21T17:13:32Z

Previous issue date: 2013<br>CNPq<br>Este trabalho teve como objetivo compreender e analisar os sentidos e significados da internação para os adolescentes autores de ato infracional, delineando a trajetória dos adolescentes no envolvimento em ato(s) infracional(is) e sua relação com os aspectos da medida socioeducativa de internação, bem como sua percepção e seus sentimentos em relação a estas medidas enquanto socioeducativas e/ou punitivas. Utilizou-se, como aporte teórico, a Psicologia Histórico-Cultural, que concebe a construção social da pessoa em uma relação dialética e historicamente situada. A técnica do fotovoz e a entrevista narrativa foram os instrumentos utilizados para a coleta de dados, com a participação de seis adolescentes, autores de ato infracional, que cumpriam medida socioeducativa de internação (MSEI). Os adolescentes receberam, individualmente, máquinas fotográficas descartáveis e foram instruídos a fotografar o que significava a medida socioeducativa de internação. Após a revelação das fotos, foram realizados encontros para que os adolescentes pudessem falar sobre as imagens. Nestes encontros os jovens também contaram suas trajetórias até o momento da internação. A análise dos dados pautou-se no discurso dos sujeitos sobre as fotografias e sobre suas histórias de vida. A apresentação dos resultados apresenta-se em sete grandes áreas temáticas, subdivididas em categorias que se dividem em imagens e falas que: 1) fazem alusão a como as pessoas julgam as unidades de privação de liberdade e os adolescentes autores de ato infracional; 2) remetem a MSEI ao seu caráter punitivo (pagar pelo que fez) e ao seu caráter prisional (grades, muros, guaritas); 3) referem-se ao sentido de proteção; 4) remetem aos momentos de reflexão sobre os erros e sobre si mesmo (autoconhecimento); 5) mencionam as relações e interações estabelecidas na internação (regras de convivência e os espaços físicos de convivência religiosa, familiar e de lazer, eventos comemorativos e relações/interações estabelecidas com profissionais); 6) fazem referência a oportunidades de aprendizagem e profissionalização, e as expectativas em relação ao futuro. A análise destes dados permitiu perceber que a medida socioeducativa de internação tem significados tanto punitivos quanto socioeducativos e que, no caso da unidade pesquisada, os aspectos socioeducativos se sobressaem, proporcionando aos adolescentes o desenvolvimento de expectativas positivas em relação ao futuro em liberdade. A instituição de privação de liberdade, e suas nuances, garante a estes jovens o acesso aos direitos antes não vivenciados, além de oportunizar a reflexão sobre suas trajetórias e vislumbrar uma vida distante da vivência infracional. Os resultados indicam que é possível o envolvimento desses jovens com a escola e a profissionalização e apontam, assim, a necessidade urgente de se pensar Políticas Públicas que visem à formação de crianças e adolescentes, de modo a evitar seu envolvimento infracional, através da garantia de direitos.
This study had the purpose to understand and analyze the senses and meanings of deprivation of liberty for adolescents authors of criminal offenses, outlining the trajectory of the adolescents’ involvement with criminal offense (s) and their relationship with the social-educational measure of deprivation of liberty, as well as their perception and feelings regarding these measures as being social-educational and/or punitive. The theoretical approach of Cultural-Historical Psychology was used, inasmuch as it conceives the construction of subjectivity as the result of a dialectic relationship between the subject and his/her social-historical context. The photo voice technique and narrative interview were instruments used for data collection. The participants were six adolescents, authors of criminal offenses, who were under social-educational measures of deprivation of liberty in a facility located in Salvador, State of Bahia. Data analysis was based on the subjects' discourses about the photographs and their life histories. Results are presented according to seven major areas, subdivided into categories assorted into images and speeches, which: 1) allude to how people judge the units of deprivation of liberty and adolescents authors of criminal offenses; 2) relate to MSEL in its punitive aspect (pay for what one did) and to its prison aspect (railings, walls, watchtowers); 3) refer to the sense of protection; 4) refer moments of reflection regarding mistakes they made and regarding themselves (self-knowledge); 5) mention the relationships and interactions established during the period of deprivation of liberty, as the rules of coexistence and the physical spaces of religious, family and leisure conviviality, celebratory events and relationships / interactions established with professionals; 6) refer to opportunities, involving learning and professionalization, and their expectations about the future. Analysis of these data enabled the understanding that the participants have both punitive and social-educational meanings regarding the social-educational measure of deprivation of liberty, in a way that social and educational aspects stand out, providing them development of positive expectations about their future in freedom. The institution of deprivation of liberty, and its nuances, ensures that these youngsters have access to rights not previously experienced, and may allow them to reflect on their careers and envision a life detached from the infraction experience. Results indicate the urgent necessity to think about Policies for the assistance of children and adolescents, in order to prevent their involvement in crime by ensuring rights and the possibility of drawing up plans for their lives away from violence and crime; in addition to policies aimed at monitoring the adolescents who served in the social-educational system, so the expectations created within the social-educational facilities are not lost in face of an uncertain future, which is far from what was experienced and perceived by these subjects during the period they were in the social-educational facility.<br>Salvador

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with how hybridity is created and interpreted by Herman Charles Bosman in his fiction and non-fiction. Bosman was a gifted writer and raconteur who captured the historical, socio-political context of his time by translating Afrikaans culture for the edification and pleasure of an English readership. Hennie Aucamp summed up this linguistic and cultural translation by pointing out that Bosman was a writer who acted as a “verbindingsteken” or hyphen (65) between Afrikaans and English. His texts contain many voices, and are therefore essentially hybrid. Firstly, by drawing on aspects of postcolonial theory, the terms ‘hybridity’, ‘culture’ and ‘identity’, are discussed. Homi Bhabha’s notion of ‘hybridity’ is the conceptual lens through which Bosman’s texts are viewed, and aspects of Mikhail Bakhtin’s cultural theory also serve the same function. Thereafter, biographies of Bosman are discussed in an effort to understand his hyphenated identity. Following this, specific attention is paid to a selection of Bosman’s essays, short stories, and a novel. Scholarly opinions aid interpretation of levels of hybridity in Bosman’s work. In analysing Bosman’s texts critically, it becomes clear that he believed in a united South Africa that acknowledged and accepted all races. However, analysis also reveals that there are some inconsistencies in Bosman’s personal views, as expressed particularly in his essays. His short stories do not contain the same contradictions. Critical analysis of the novel Willemsdorp attests that cultural hybridity is not always viewed as celebratory. It can also be a painful space where identities are split, living both inside and outside their environment, and subsequently marginalized. Bosman’s texts, although published decades ago, remain relevant today in post-apartheid South Africa as much of his writing can be seen as a record of historical events. His short stories and novels capture a confluence of languages, people and cultures. His essays illustrate a deep commitment to promoting South African culture and literature. When reading Bosman one is constantly reminded that differences are not only to be acknowledged, but embraced, in what he prophetically imagined as a hybrid, post-apartheid South African society.
