L’économie des conventions dans les études agroalimentaires anglophones : filiations avec l’école française, circulation et nouvelles perspectives
No full textEmmanuelle Cheyns, Stefano Ponte (2017) In : Transformations et transitions dans l’agriculture et l’agroalimentaire, G. Allaire et B. Daviron (éds.), QUAE, Collection Synthèse. Introduction. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, l’économie des conventions a influencé différents courants de recherche dans le domaine agro-alimentaire. Cette influence se repère dans le champ des sciences sociales anglophones (Wilkinson 1997; Raikes et al. 2000; Biggart et Beamish 2003; Stark 2009; du Gay et Mor..
Voluntary Sustainability Standards
No full textEmmanuelle Cheyns (2024) In Rainer Diaz-Bone & Guillemette de Larquier (eds.), Handbook of economics and sociology of conventions. Cham: Springer, Online first Abstract. Growing social and ecological criticism of industrial agriculture in the early 2000s led to the increasingly frequent use of voluntary certification schemes to guarantee standardized sustainable or ecological production. Multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) have emerged to set these voluntary standards of sustainability for ..
Convention Theory in Anglophone agri-food studies: French legacies, circulation and new perspectives
No full textEmmanuelle Cheyns & Stefano Ponte (2019) In Allaire, G. (Ed.), Daviron, B. (Ed.). (2019). Ecology, Capitalism and the New Agricultural Economy. London: Routledge, pp. 71-94. Abstract. The French school of Convention Theory (CT) has influenced various branches of agri-food studies in the past two decades, as part of a wider trend in the Anglophone social sciences (Wilkinson, 1997; Raikes et al., 2000; Biggart and Beamish, 2003; Stark, 2011; Diaz-Bone, 2012; du Gay and Morgan, 2013; Ba..
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
Question de goûts
No full textPeut-on parler de consommateurs urbains indifférenciés ? La viande congelée vaut-elle la viande fraîche ? La richesse des préférences alimentaires et gustatives des africains que nous laisse entrevoir Emmanuelle Cheyns montre à souhait qu'à la froide logique des marchés internationaux (ici la viande) s'oppose la chaleur toute particulière du savoir-faire qui permet à la ménagère de bien choisir ses ingrédients pour fabriquer sa sauce. Les exigences de rentabilité et d'abaissement des coûts auront-elles raison des goûts culinaires, éléments constitutifs parmi d'autres de toute culture ? Des éléments de réponse dans cet article
