No full textMehr als Menschen essen – mehr als menschliches Essen. Perspektiven nicht-anthropozentrischer Nahrungsgeographien
Get PDFDass ‚Essen‘ (als Tätigkeit) nicht nur eine soziale, sondern eine materielle Praxis ist, lässt sich aufgrund der unmittelbaren Beziehung zum menschlichen Körper (Einverleibung) nicht übersehen. Auch die Beziehung zur Natur, insbesondere zu Tieren und Pflanzen, sowie zu Technologien, ist beim ‚Essen‘ (als Nahrungsmittel) unübersehbar, wenn sich die Frage nach der Herkunft des Essens stellt. Sind daher geographies of food in besonderer Weise für Forschungsperspektiven prädestiniert, die nicht den Menschen allein in den Mittelpunkt stellen? In diesem Beitrag zeigen wir, dass bei der geographischen Thematisierung des Essens Aspekte des ‚Mehr-als-Menschlichen‘ schon lange eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Wir gehen näher auf den „Follow the thing“-Ansatz ein, der nach unserem Verständnis ein großes Potential für eine nicht-anthropozentrische Erforschung des Essens bietet. Zudem führen wir aus, wie sich jüngst more-than-human geographies of food etabliert haben. Der Blickwinkel verschiebt sich dabei weg von Fragen, was ein Essen ist und wer es isst, hin zu Fragen, wie etwas zum Essen wird und was das Essen macht: mit uns und mit der Welt
Energetska varnost v času krize: študiji primera Bolgarije in Srbije
No full textThis thesis aims to assess the EU’s external energy policy and to what degree it has been embraced by small states during the energy crisis by posing the question, “How does European Union membership influence the external energy policy decisions of small states within the foreign policy dimension during energy security crises?”. To answer this, the research is taking Bulgaria and Serbia as case studies due to their similar population sizes, GDP, and energy consumptions. This research conceptualizes energy security and energy diplomacy to understand how diplomacy and energy dependencies are interrelated and how this relationship can be utilised as a tool in international relations. Through supporting the qualitative work on foreign policy analysis with the quantitative analysis of the energy industry structures and energy dependencies of Serbia and Bulgaria in a comparative manner, this research is conducting mixed research on the issue. The comparison of Bulgaria and Serbia enables the author to analyse and understand the role of EU membership

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Animal Geography. A very short introduction
Get PDFThis article provides a brief overview of animal geography. Animal geography represents a sub-discipline of human geography, which in the last twenty- five years has been contributing to the development of a wider field of knowledge known as human-animal studies (see the reports in Progress in Hu- man Geography by Buller 2014, 2015 and 2016; Hovorka 2017, 2018 and 2019; Gibbs 2020a and 2020b). This is a field with a strong interdisciplinary character, which has emerged in Anglo-American academic debates to ‘give voice’ to those non-human animals that the social sciences and humanities have long confined to the margins of their research
