Globale Krise – globale Streikwelle? Zwischen den ökonomischen und demokratisch-politischen Protesten herrscht keine zufällige Gleichzeitigkeit
Get PDFThe world wide economic crisis since 2007 is followed by a wave of protests, revolts, riots and movements. In many parts of the world strikes, expecially general strikes or political mass strikes, are part of these movements. But is this already an indication for a global strike wave? In a first step, the article describes the various statistical problems that are associated with this question. Beyond the quantitative question it also has to be asked if and how the different strikes and social movements are related to each other. The article differentiates economic strikes, political mass strikes and strikes with direct influence on the political and democratical protests. In conclusion, the article suggests to see a renewed relation between social and political protest claiming the traditions of labor movement and the new social movements since the 1970s that shows a new quality in the actual uprising against the consequences of the crisis
Das Fehlen der Fabriken - Kritik des Klassismusbegriffs
Get PDFDie Intention der Einführung des Klassismus-Begriffs in die wissenschaftliche Debatte ist eine kritische, es geht um den Abbau von Diskriminierungsmustern. Ohne die Bedeutung dieses kritischen Anspruchs herunterzuspielen, hat der Begriff jedoch einige ‚Geburtsfehler’, die in diesem Beitrag thematisiert und diskutiert werden sollen. Die Hauptkritikpunkte sind dabei die Aspekte, ob nicht (a) der Begriff des Klassismus habituelle Zuschreibungen sogar verstärkt, (b) die Klassismuskritik lediglich individuelle, aber keine kollektiven Lösungsmöglichkeiten anbietet, (c) die Betonung eines Opferstatus einem Empowerment entgegensteht und letztlich (d) der Klassismusbegriff zumindest theoretisch nicht zwischen einer Diskriminierung ‚unterer’ und ‚oberer’ Klassen unterscheiden kann. Diese Unschärfen in der Kritik resultieren u.a. daraus, dass die Klassismus-Kritik einen äußerst schwammigen Klassenbegriff verwendet, der – zumindest in der deutschsprachigen Literatur - vor allem ökonomische Aspekte meist ausblendet. Dennoch endet dieser Beitrag mit einem kurzen Ausblick darauf, wie der Begriff des Klassismus in der wissenschaftlichen wie auch in der politisch oder sozial engagierten Praxis produktiv genutzt werden kann
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
"Wilder" Streik als Praxis der Bürgerschaft: Arbeit und Migration in Mannheim um 1973
Get PDFDen Blick auf kollektive Strategien ergänzen Maria Diedrich und Torsten Bewernitz durch eine historische Aufarbeitung der sogenannten "wilden Streiks" in Mannheim um 1973. Diese vorrangig von migrantischen Beschäftigten betriebenen Arbeitsniederlegungen zielten auf die Bearbeitung von rassistischen Hierarchisierungen der Arbeits- und Lebensbedingungen, die wiederum - so die Analyse- auch für die begrenzte Reichweite dieser Proteste mit verantwortlich waren. Auch dass diese nur begrenzt Einzug ins kollektive Gedächtnis der Gewerkschaften und Aktivist*innen gefunden haben, sei als Effekt einer stark institutionalisierten und regulierten Arbeiterbewegung in Deutschland zu verstehen

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
