Englund, Harri. – Prisoners of Freedom
Full text linkLe discours sur les droits de l’Homme baigne, aujourd’hui, dans un « paysage moral » modelé par des cultures séculaires du droit, des cultures de consommation et par les morales des néotraditionalismes. Dans Prisoners of Freedom, Englund décrit les dynamiques d’inégalité qui sous-tendent ce difficile équilibre entre universalisation du droit, accumulation et stratification sociale à travers une ethnographie des coulisses de la récente démocratisation au Malawi. À partir d’une observation dire..

Freedom and Insecurity; Civil Servants between Support Networks, the Free Market and the Civil Service Reform
No full textA democracy of chameleons : politics and culture in the New Malawi
No full textAfter thirty years of autocratic rule under ”Life President” Kamuzu Banda, Malawians experienced a transition to multiparty democracy in 1994. A new constitution and several democratic institutions promised a new dawn in a country ravaged by poverty and injustice. This book presents original research on the economic, social, political and cultural consequences of the new era. The book engages with a culture of politics in order to expand the purview of critical analysis from the elite to the populace in its full diversity. A new generation of scholars, most of them from Malawi, cover virtually every issue causing debate in the New Malawi: poverty and hunger, the plight of civil servants, the role of the judiciary, political intolerance and hate speech, popular music as a form of protest, clergy activism, voluntary associations and ethnic revival, responses to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and controversies over women’s rights. Both chameleon-like leaders and the donors of Malawi’s foreign aid come under critical scrutiny for supporting superficial democratization. The book ends with a rare public statement on the New Malawi by Jack Mapanje, Malawi’s internationally acclaimed writer. Dismayed at the continuation of an ”oral culture of dictatorship”, Mapanje urges Malawians to confront their past in order to have a future that is free from fear and intolerance.Anyone interested in politics and culture in sub-Saharan Africa will find this book an important source of insight and detailed analysis for a comparative understanding of Africa’s democratization.CONTENTS -- The Culture of Chameleon Politics / Harri Englund -- The Politics of Poverty Alleviation in Malawi: A Critical Review / Blessings Chinsinga -- Freedom and Insecurity: Civil Servants between Support Networks, the Free Market and the Civil Service Reform / Gerhard Anders -- Judicial Mediation in Electoral Politics in Malawi / Clement Ng’ong’ola -- Hate Speech in the New Malawi / Edrinnie Kayambazinthu & Fulata Moyo -- “Mzimu wa Soldier”: Contemporary Popular Music and Politics in Malawi / Reuben Makayiko Chirambo -- Are Malawi’s Local Clergy Civil Society Activists?: The Limiting Impact of Creed, Context and Class / Peter Von Doepp -- Ethnic Revival and Language Associations in the New Malawi: The Case of Chitumbuka / Gregory H.

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
