Cultural Heritage in the EU Trade Agreements: Current Trends in a Controversial Relationship
No full textThis contribution explores whether, to what extent, and for what purpose(s) cultural heritage (through the mediation of the notions of culture and cultural diversity) has a place in the Common Commercial Policy (CCP) of the European Union and, if so, what is the effect of this ‘unexpected’ inclusion in Trade Agreements. In order to approach these key questions, first a brief account of the role of trade with third countries under (E)EC and EU law is needed, taking into consideration the institutional architecture for the CCP over time. Secondly, the relationship between the CCP with the forum of the World Trade Organization (WTO) will be examined, as well as the change over time of the European Commission’s trade strategy, especially after the entry into force of the 2005 UNESCO Convention for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (CPPDCE). Next, and against this background, a summary of the outcomes of a textual analysis of a vast group of EU Trade Agreements with third countries follows. This will allow for some concluding remarks on the meaning of the notion of cultural heritage within the practice of the CCP and on the effective function and use of this notion at the level of the implementation of EU Trade Agreements, as well as suggestions to better implement the said notion in the context of current EU global trade policy

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
