    Laying Claim to Authenticity: Five Anthropological Dilemmas

    No full text
    The introduction to this special collection examines five dilemmas about the use of the concept of authenticity in anthropological analysis. These relate to 1) the expectation of a singular authenticity “deep” in oneself or beyond the surface of social reality, 2) the contradictions emerging from the opposition of authenticity with inauthenticity, 3) the irony of the notion of invention of tradition (which deconstructs, but also offends), 4) the criteria involved in the authentication of the age of objects (with a consideration of their materiality), and 5) authenticity’s simultaneity, its contemporaneous multiple conceptualizations in context. I argue for a perspective on the study of authenticity that acknowledges the simultaneous co-existence of more than one parallel manifestation of authenticity in any given negotiation of the authentic

    Great Expectations: Imagination and Anticipation in Tourism

    No full text
    The negotiation of expectations in tourism is a complex and dynamic process – one that is central to the imagination of cultural difference. Expectations not only affect the lives and experiences of tourists, but also their hosts, and play an important part in the success or failure of the overall tourism experience. It is for this reason, the authors argue, that special attention should be given to how expectations constitute and sustain tourism. The case studies presented here explore what fuels the desires to visit particular places, to what degree expectations inform the experience of the place, and the frequent disjunctions between tourist expectations and experiences. Careful attention is paid to how the imagination of the visitor inspires the imagination of the host, and vice-versa; how tourists and host communities actively imagine, re-imagine, and shape each other’s lives. This realization, has profound consequences, not solely for academic analysis, but for all those who participate in and work within the tourism industry

    Tight Bounds for Repeated Balls-into-Bins

    No full text
    We study the repeated balls-into-bins process introduced by Becchetti, Clementi, Natale, Pasquale and Posta (2019). This process starts with mm balls arbitrarily distributed across nn bins. At each round t=1,2,t=1,2,\ldots, one ball is selected from each non-empty bin, and then placed it into a bin chosen independently and uniformly at random. We prove the following results: \quad \bullet For any nmpoly(n)n \leq m \leq \mathrm{poly}(n), we prove a lower bound of Ω(m/nlogn)\Omega(m/n \cdot \log n) on the maximum load. For the special case m=nm=n, this matches the upper bound of O(logn)O(\log n), as shown in [BCNPP19]. It also provides a positive answer to the conjecture in [BCNPP19] that for m=nm=n the maximum load is ω(logn/loglogn)\omega(\log n/ \log \log n) at least once in a polynomially large time interval. For m[ω(n),nlogn]m\in [\omega(n),n\log n], our new lower bound disproves the conjecture in [BCNPP19] that the maximum load remains O(logn)O(\log n). \quad \bullet For any nmpoly(n)n\leq m\leq\mathrm{poly}(n), we prove an upper bound of O(m/nlogn)O(m/n\cdot\log n) on the maximum load for all steps of a polynomially large time interval. This matches our lower bound up to multiplicative constants. \quad \bullet For any mnm\geq n, our analysis also implies an O(m2/n)O(m^2/n) waiting time to reach a configuration with a O(m/nlogm)O(m/n\cdot\log m) maximum load, even for worst-case initial distributions. \quad \bullet For any mnm \geq n, we show that every ball visits every bin in O(mlogm)O(m\log m) rounds. For m=nm = n, this improves the previous upper bound of O(nlog2n)O(n \log^2 n) in [BCNPP19]. We also prove that the upper bound is tight up to multiplicative constants for any nmpoly(n)n \leq m \leq \mathrm{poly}(n).Comment: Full version of STACS 2023 paper; 38 pages, 5 figure

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
