    Key scholarship in media literacy: David Buckingham

    No full text
    "We live in a time of unprecedented media use, much of which can be accessed by devices that fit in our pockets. Young people, in particular, make use of media on a near-constant basis. How can this media use be better understood? This text focuses on the scholarship and research of David Buckingham, a global leader in media literacy education and children's and young people's media cultures. It is not an exaggeration to state that studies and applications of media literacy education around the globe are indebted to the scholarship of Buckingham and that more nuanced understandings of how children and young people make sense of their media choices are due, in large part, to Buckingham's work. Key Scholarship in Media Literacy: David Buckingham focuses on the key contributions of Buckingham's work over his prolific career, illuminating the advances he made in the field of media literacy education and understandings of young people's media cultures. Through a close look at Buckingham's theoretical advancements, contributions to the larger field of media literacy education, and the key strains of his research - how children and young people learn, what they already know about media and pop culture before they enter classrooms, end media content about and for youth - this text delineates Buckingham's vast bibliography and will be an invaluable resource for anyone curious to know more about children, youth, and media literacy education. Analysis of Buckingham's work is drawn from his robust bibliography, exploration of scholarship he has critiqued, interpretation of contemporary social concerns through the lens of his research, and formal and informal conversations with him over the course of several years.

    Barndom i forandring, medier i forandring. Nye dagsordner inden for forskning i børns mediekultur

    No full text
    David Buckingham analyserer i artiklen de forandringer, der i de seneste årtier har karakteristisk såvel barndomsbegrebet som børns forhold til medierne. På baggrund af beskrivelser af forskningsnæssige, kulturelle og sociologiske udviklingstræk på begge områder, analyserer han hvor- ledes udviklingen på de to områder i hovedtrækkene er indbyrdes for- bundne. Denne analyse bidrager til Buckinghams mere overordnede pro- jekt, nemlig at problematisere traditionelle måder at gribe forskning i børns mediebrug an på. Han taler på baggrund af analysen for en kobling mellem forskelli ge analysemetoder således at f.eks. receptionsanalyse kobles med tekstanalyse og institutionsanalyse, og endvidere at denne mangefa- cetterede tilgang til feltet perspektiveres ved såvel at se på børn og barn- dom i et sociologisk perspektiv som i lyset af barndommens historie

    A influência dos Estudos Culturais nas pesquisas de David Buckingham sobre educação midiática

    A tradição dos Estudos Culturais britânicos na pesquisa em comunicação tem uma trajetória influente na área de mídia e educação. David Buckingham é um pesquisador inglês que utiliza esse campo de investigação para compreender a produção de sentido de crianças e jovens a partir do consumo midiático e os desdobramentos desta atuação no sistema social. Diante disso, este artigo pretende trazer um panorama sobre os Estudos Culturais britânicos e sua aplicação na produção acadêmica de Buckingham relacionada às pesquisas na área de educação midiática. Como inferências iniciais, observou-se a existência do predomínio de pesquisas qualitativas e empíricas sobre mídia que privilegiam a análise de audiência de grupos sociais ativos compostos por crianças e adolescentes, até então pouco explorados nas perspectivas dos Estudos Culturais, contribuindo para a compreensão das potencialidades da educação midiática na formação de cidadãos críticos e conscientes sobre as inter-relações da sociedade com os fenômenos culturais e comunicacionais

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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
