Ungarische Sexarbeiterinnen in Zürich zwischen Marginalisierung und Selbstbestimmung
No full textSeit 2008 arbeiten vermehrt Roma-Frauen (Romnija) aus dem Nordosten Ungarns in westeuropäischen Städten auf dem Straßenstrich. Sie haben in den Jahren davor mit ihren Körpern Prostitutionsorte in Ungarn konstituiert bis schließlich die Prostitutionsverordnung von staatlicher Seite neu interpretiert wurde. Heute verändern sie Räume in Städten wie Amsterdam und Zürich. Mit ihrer Entscheidung, Sex an legalen Orten in Europa anzubieten, versuchen sie ihre Familien finanziell zu unterstützen. So wurden sie von einer durch ein patriarchalisches System geprägten Romni zur transnationa-len Mutter, Arbeitsmigrantin, Ausländerin und Sexarbeiterin. Diese neue Wirklichkeit führte nicht nur zu räumlichen Veränderungen an den verschiedensten Orten in Europa, sondern auch zu einem Wandel mit ethnischen, sozialen und geschlechterspezifischen Dimensionen
Prostitúciós terek performativitása - szexmunkások és a nyilvános tér Magyarországon
Full text linkAz állami intézmények tereket hoznak létre azáltal, hogy meghatározott területekre vonatkozóan szabályokat vagy normákat írnak elő. Az ott élő, tevékenykedő emberek használják e tereket, stratégiákat alkotnak, alkalmazkodnak a törvényekhez és piaci viszonyokhoz, kiskapukat keresnek, hogy megélhetésüket, túlélésüket biztosítsák. Eközben ők maguk is olyan tereket hoznak létre, amelyeket a társadalom szimbolikusan értékel vagy stigmatizál. De a terek maguk is alakítják az embereket, lehetőséget biztosítanak számukra, hogy alkalmazkodjanak a feltételekhez, amivel ugyanakkor megteremtik a társadalmi változások alapjait – akárhogyan is alakuljanak e változások. A médiában, a prostitúcióról szóló hírekben a főszereplők jellemzően háttérben maradnak, e tanulmány nekik szentel figyelmet. Ezzel egyidejűleg a szerző megkíséreli a magyarországi nyilvános tereken zajló prostitúciót Budapest, Pécs és Nyíregyháza legkülönfélébb terein megvizsgálni
Carpe noctem: Forschen auf dem Strich – Reflexion ethischer und methodologischer Hürden
Full text linkThis article highlights the ethical and methodological approaches towards
analysing a spatial and social taboo phenomenon, such as prostitution in
public spaces by the Hungarian Romnija sex-workers. The empirical fieldwork
for this research took place between 2010 and 2012 in Switzerland and
Hungary. During this period, the street prostitution sector of Zurich was
dominated by Hungarian sex-workers. Remarkably, since 2006, the same women
have traversed the gap between north-eastern Hungary and Switzerland for the
purpose of prostitution. Transnational mobility and sex-work became their
coping strategy to overcome social marginalization. Through this, these women
not only influence their family structures back home in Hungary, but also
shape the spaces they use all across over Europe. Gaining direct access to
the people involved is indispensable to analyse a societal phenomenon such as
this, despite challenges involved therein regarding access to the places of
action. This article will provide insights with excerpts of the research
diary as to how to overcome certain ethical and methodological obstacles
while doing empirical research with sex-workers on the street
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
