Ethnography and Embodiment
No full textThe paradigm of embodiment helped redefining the very way cultural processes are conceptualized and investigated in social sciences. By placing the analysis at the level of lived experience, embodiment has emerged as a productive way to relate perceptions and sensations to broader socio-historical dynamics. Such a shift, tough, did not focus merely on the issues of the cultural construction of the body and the senses, it rather allowed to appreciate the very process of actors’ engagement in the production of meaning, i.e. in the practical embodied production of culture. Within this broader theoretical scenario, ethnography has been profoundly reframed as an embodied practice as well. This contribution aims at placing such a theoretical issues at the very core of ethnographic practice, showing how embodiment can help us to extend the practice of reflexivity to: 1) the ethnographers’ role in the constitution of the reality they research on; 2) the embodied ground of ethnographers’ understanding of social reality; 3) the nature of ethnography in terms of a participatory production of meaning characterized by proximity and mutual engagement
Politics Within Anthropology
No full textt was only in 1957, during the decolonization period, that one finds such signs (although weak). For example, Peter Worsely (1957) placed at the very centre of his ethnography in New Guinea the oppression of local people (which found expression in millenarianisms). According to Worsely, the “great truth” was that anthropologists had not been studying backward and primitive peoples but colonial peoples, and that the only characteristic that states like those of the barotse and baganda and societies like those of the bushmen and veddas had in common is that they were all subjected to colonial domination (Worsely 1957).
This was the finding, not, as I already said, of political anthropology, a field of study that Evans-Pritchard and Fortes had already inaugurated (Evans-Pritchard and Fortes 1940), but of “politics within anthropology,” the recognition that anthropology cannot be a neutral “science” in the sign of objectivity, but is an engaged “knowledge” because of the subjectivity and temporality that pervades it (Fabian 2000)
Introduction
No full textIn the last three decades, more or less, ethnography, that was long thought to be simple, turned into a complicated concept. At least for anthropologists, as is clearly demonstrated by the dense reflection and the vivid discussion that emerged about ethnography inside the anthropological academic community. Ethnographic practice, ethnographic theory, and ethnographic writing are not at all an easy and epistemologically plain activity. The Introduction aims to underline the common line of this edited volume that ethnography is strongly connected with a sophisticated theoretical reflection and strongly linked with cultural and social anthropology. Outside this frame, ethnography is nothing, and worthless are also the forms of knowledge one may expect to obtain by a naive use of a so-called “ethnographic method.
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
