    David A. Field founded the University of Maryland Gymkana troupe in 1946. Gymkana is a gymnastics troupe whose members formally pledge to remain drug, tobacco, and alcohol free, and to promote that lifestyle to their audiences. This collection consists of five photographs of David Field, including two from Gymkana's 50th Anniversary Homeshow in 1996. Also included are three memorabilia items from the 50th Anniversary commemoration -- a Gymkana t-shirt, a patch, and the plaque presented to Field on that occasion

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Third nature: making space and time in the Great Limpopo Conservation Area

    No full text
    In Southern Africa’s “Great Limpopo Transboundary Conservation Area,” potential nature, envisioned as ideal habitats for wildlife, may outweigh actual nature. I refer to this notion of conditional biodiversity as “third nature,” distinguishing it from the equally anthropogenic, but tangible, second nature (“nature” as including human habitation). Conservationists and investors are inventing nature on a new scale that crosses national boundaries in elaborate ventures to develop ecotourism in the Great Limpopo zone. They now imagine a continentwide field for (white) tourists to be created by fencing out local populations of (black) peasants. Few observers appreciate the structural racism involved in the profound material consequences of these dreams of third nature.Peer reviewedThis is the final author version of the article published in Cultural Anthropology.
