Variations on the Author
No full text“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

Five minutes with Timothy Gowers: “academics can publish journals of the highest quality without a commercial entity”
No full textFields Medal-winning Cambridge mathematician Sir Timothy Gowers and a team of colleagues have recently launched a new editor-owned Open Access (OA) journal for mathematics. Discrete Analysis is an arXiv overlay journal, which means articles are submitted and hosted via the preprint server arXiv first. The journal coordinates peer-review and publishes via Scholastica with no cost to reader or author. Gowers reflects here on his vision for the future of editor-owned journals
Friend-Shoring without Decoupling: How Japanese Multinational Corporations Adapt to Political Risk in China
No full textThese are the slides from a presentation given at 120th APSA Annual Meeting & Exhibition on 09/05/2024.How are multinational firms (MNCs) and the global supply chains that link them to China adjusting to the heightened political risks in the era of decoupling? Since the U.S.-China Trade War and the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Western governments have increased efforts to encourage MNCs to divert investment from an increasingly authoritarian China toward politically reliable allies and partners. Using subsidiary-level panel data on the global operations of Japanese MNCs from 2012-2022, we reconcile conflicting expectations offered by "business as usual" and "follow the flag" scholars about the degree to which these firms are decoupling or friend-shoring in response to political risks in China. We find that aggregate Japanese investment in China has continued to grow over the past decade despite heightened political risks and a slight decline in the overall share of global subsidiaries based in China, suggesting that the pace and extent of decoupling are quite limited. However, we also find a positive relationship between investment size and the strength of host country security ties at the subsidiary level. This lends support to the idea that alignment of security interests promotes greater investment and that friend-shoring is happening on the margins
Nationalist Disputes: Primers for Bilateral Cooperation? Experimental Survey Evidence from Japan
No full textHow do nationalist disputes between countries affect the foreign policy preferences ofindividuals? Nationalist disputes are often initiated when members of a state disapprove ofanother state’s behavior whether it be their foreign policy choices or over a disputed territory.Much is known about how these disputes are initiated and what economic effects they have onthe targeted state but it's unclear how these disputes affect the policy preferences of the masspublic within participating states. The conventional wisdom suggests that because of thenationalistic nature of these disputes and domestic politician’s willingness to play into themcitizens should favor more aggressive foreign policies when faced with them. I fielded a surveyexperiment in Japan where respondents were primed with a nationalist dispute that their countryis having with rival South Korea. Though this sample is proud to be Japanese and views bilateralproblems with Korea as important, they largely respond to nationalist tensions out of a desire tocooperate more with Korea rather than less. These findings challenge the conventional wisdomthat nationalism inhibits cooperation and instead suggest that individuals may potentiallyrespond to such tensions with a constructive desire to increase bilateral cooperation
