Ep. #002 - Anna Tsing
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cultures of Energy Podcast is now on iTunes! Stitcher soon! We celebrate Anna Tsing, Professor of Anthropology at the University of California Santa Cruz, one of the world’s greatest analysts of globalization and the environment and the author (most recently) of The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins. Then (6:16) Cymene and Anna talk about feminist legacies, more-than-human anthropology, capitalist ruins and how to think with weeds and mushrooms

Uma antropologia que dança: algumas notas sobre paisagens de conceitos em Anna Tsing
Get PDFO presente ensaio busca tecer alguns comentários acerca dos artigos presentes no livro Viver nas ruínas: paisagens multiespécies no Antropoceno (2019), de Anna Tsing. Ao oferecer um panorama dos principais conceitos e linhas de força que atravessam o pensamento da autora, por meio de um percurso entre fungos, relações multiespecíficas e plantations, discuto as principais contribuições de sua obra para a teoria antropológica bem como a importância dos conceitos de paisagem, assembleia e coordenação para as técnicas de descrição etnográfica no Antropoceno. Em paralelo, apresento algumas críticas de Tsing à reificação do excepcionalismo humano na antropologia e esboço possíveis diálogos entre suas reflexões e a teoria social contemporânea.This essay is a commentary on the Brazilian collection of papers by Anna Tsing, presented in the book Viver nas ruínas: paisagens multiespécies no Antropoceno (2019). By offering an overview of the main concepts and lines of strength that cross the author’s thought, through a path among fungi, multispecies relations, and plantations, I discuss the contributions of Tsing’s work to the anthropological theory, as well as the importance of the concepts of landscape, assembly, and coordination to the techniques of ethnographic description in the Anthropocene. In parallel, I present some of Tsing’s critiques on the reification of the human exceptionalism in anthropology, and finally possible dialogues between the author’s thinking and the contemporary social theory

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
