    Unions and pro-labour intellectuals have been deeply committed to a social Europe with unions as a driving force. At several moments and on various levels, these personalities have played key roles in the construction of unionist views and policies for an integrated Europe and in the establishment of the European Trade Unions Confederation (ETUC). The present chapter draws upon my studies in the archives of the Confederazione generale italiana del lavoro (CGIL) and the Nordic labour movement, alongside documents from the archives of trade union leaders and economists such as Emilio Gabaglio, Bruno Trentin and Franco Archibugi. It helps reconstruct ETUC’s development, building on the work of past scholars who have long considered the vast and groundbreaking investment plans of the European Economic Community (EEC) to have been key to the Confederation’s existence. The centrality of the EEC’s plans is so apparent that, in reconstructing the history of European integration, we must make note of the complete rejection of the plans Jacques Delors later presented to the European Commission, or those that Allan Larsson brought before the Party of European Socialists (PES). ETUC’s actions responded to the structural weakness of wages, and this is of central importance to our understanding of the nature of social dialogue and of ETUC’s practices and responses to European integration

    Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)

    No full text
    This study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
