No full textPeople with disabilities
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a series of significant and complex impacts on the lives of people with disabilities. A disproportionate number of people with disabilities have become ill and died; established inequalities in health and social care provision have been highlighted and exacerbated. The periods of ‘lockdown’ and ongoing restrictions have meant fewer social contacts and reduced care provision for many people with disabilities living independently, with impacts on physical and mental wellbeing. Telephone and online communication has been very effective for many, opening up new opportunities for social activities and receipt of care; for some, availability of and accessibility to technology have been challenging. Many community-based activities used by people with disabilities have been suspended, with concerns for provision in the longer-term. People with disabilities will be significantly affected by the economic and employment fallout of COVID-19; for some, the switch to working from home has meant more opportunities. COVID-19 has transformed social environments; mask wearing and social distancing, and one-way systems and restricted parking, present challenges for some people with disabilities. Geographers can make a significant contribution to the study of the impact of COVID-19 on people with disabilities, and the building of an equal and inclusive post-pandemic future
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
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
