Rice as self: food, history and nation-building in Japan and Malaysia
No full textWherever rice is the traditional staple, people assume that eating rice, or growing rice, makes them who they are. The belief that their physical constitutions, mental aptitudes, social institutions or political formations are profoundly shaped by their dependence upon rice is sometimes expressed in everyday maxims and vernacular habits, sometimes formally elaborated by politicians, historians or scientists into theories of identity – as in the classic case of Japan, documented by Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney in Rice as self.Rice today is food to half the world, its history inextricably entangled with the emergence of colonialism, the global networks of industrial capitalism and the modern world economy. Native to Asia and West Africa, where it had been the major staple for centuries, as the modern world took shape rice sustained the slave trade, was one of the main plantation crops of the post-Conquest New World, and fed Europe’s new colonies. New ways of thinking about rice as self developed along with new circuits of commerce, imperial or post-colonial structures of political control, the rise to prominence of different academic disciplines and the growth and spread of international networks of science and development.Stimulated by Jack Goody’s rethinking of modes of production in Technology, tradition and the state, and of modes of consumption in Cooking, cuisine and class, here I borrow his tactic of radical comparison, setting the histories and historiographies of Eurasia against those of Africa and the Atlantic region, to illuminate some key questions about the relations between rice and identity, and between rice and history
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
