Care and the crisis of the paradigms of modernity. Feminist approaches to subjectivity and social justice
Full text linkCovid-19 has challenged the self-concepts of neoliberal late capitalist societies, particularly the idea of the
autonomous and self-sufficient individual who is “free, equal, and independent”, as well as the notions of
development and growth. Social and political crises compel us to rethink the forms of associated living and
the structures of modern democracies. This paper proposes feminist approaches to subjectivity and social
justice, showing how these allow the development of the notion of a relational self and address today’s so-
cial challenges by proposing a justice that benefits all. The focus will be on the ethics of care, an important
ethical and political paradigm. As recent publications attest, the concept-practice of care offers alternative
strategies for reversing the direction of late modernity

Babelonline print. Vol. 11: Postmoderno o ipermoderno? Naufragi e speranze dopo la modernità
No full textL’immagine classica del mondo, contraddistinta da unità, bellezza e perfezione, ha subìto nell’attraversamento della modernità una completa trasfigurazione. Il mondo di oggi, tuttavia, non presenta altre ed eterogenee caratteristiche, ma quegli stessi lineamenti stravolti in un estremo rovesciamento: l’unità del mondo odierno si struttura secondo la composizione, convulsa e per nulla pacifica, del mercato globale. La sua bellezza consiste nella piena visibilità e disponibilità, conseguite attraverso il dominio tecnologico sul vivente. La sua perfezione si è frantumata in un sistema funzionalmente disarmonico in cui le forze storiche della modernità hanno trovato un’inesorabile riarticolazione.La questione dell’eredità del moderno, dibattuta nella sezione tematica del presente volume, è tesa tra due poli della trasformazione appena accennata. Da un lato, la globalizzazione, che procede sotto le spinte dell’espansione dell’economia di mercato e dei suoi dispositivi, quali la divisione globale del lavoro, o la colonizzazione integrale del pianeta e dello spazio cosmico circostante. Dall’altro, la forma di dominio dell’essere umano sui propri simili chiamata biopotere, che stabilisce il governo diretto della vita fin nei suoi fondamenti biologici ed etici, portando al centro dell’agone politico i tratti essenziali della natura umana.I contributi raccolti intorno al Tema proposto vanno in direzione di una comprensione disincantata del progetto moderno che instaurava il regime di compiuta manipolazione della natura umana e non umana
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
