Power and paradox: Positioning English proficiency, accents and selves during interviews
No full textThe research interview has been subjected to increasing scrutiny as a widely-used yet under-theorised methodology in language studies. Too often, interview data are taken at face value and treated as a ‘report’ that accurately and objectively represents an outside ‘reality’ (Talmy 2010). In reality, interviews occur within situated spaces that involve relations of power, agentive negotiations, and the intermingling of the identities and subjectivities of both the interviewer and the interviewee(s). Informed by these theoretical considerations, this paper conceptualises the interview as a space of social practice in which interlocutors collaboratively construct and enact their positions, identities and beliefs to provide evidence for the analytical advantages of this conceptualisation. Specifically, utilising the tactics of intersubjectivity the present paper aims to describe the ways in which interview participants (re)position and (re)negotiate self-conceptions of proficiency, attitudes towards language and accents, and their selves during interviews. By drawing on selected excerpts of interviews with one English language user, the interconnectedness of these constructs and how their construction hinges on agency, creativity, and complexity are brought to the fore
Evaluating the suitability of a generic fungal infection model for pest risk assessment studies
No full textPest risk assessment studies are aimed at evaluating if weather conditions are suitable for the potential entry and establishment of an organism in a new environment. For fungal plant pathogens, the crucial aspect to be explored is the fulfillment of the infection process, that constitutes the first phase of the development of an epidemic as mainly driven by temperature and leaf wetness duration. This is of particular interest for climate change studies, because the modified pattern of temperature and moisture regimes could completely alter the known distribution and severity of plant disease epidemics. Biophysical process-based models could effectively be used in such studies, because they allow, within their applicability range, estimating organisms responses to climatic drivers in environmental conditions not yet experienced. One of the prerequisite of their adoption in operational contexts is a sensitivity analysis assessment aimed at understanding their ability (i) to differentiate the responses according to different parameterizations and (ii) to be sensitive to the variability of the input data. In this study, a generic potential fungal infection model simulating four pathogens chosen to provide a wide range in temperature and moisture requirements was analyzed. The model was run under diverse climatic conditions. The sensitivity of the model significantly changed according to the pathogen tested, and the relevance of its parameters in explaining model output resulted strongly linked to the environmental conditions tested, indicating its to be used in pest risk assessment studies
Le guide touristique: lieu de rencontre entre lexique et images du patrimoine. 2
Full text linkCe livre est le deuxième volet de l’ouvrage consacré au guide touristique en tant que lieu de rencontre entre lexique et images du patrimoine culturel, ouvrage issu du colloque qui s’est déroulé le 11 et 12 juin 2015 à Pise et Florence. Ce volume porte l’attention sur l’image, en tant que représentation du réel mais aussi en tant que lieu à partir duquel l’imagination peut s’exercer en évoquant des représentations mentales (l’imaginaire). Les trois parties proposées (I. Les images du voyage; II. L’art dans le guide; III. Les guides entre imaginaire et propagande) entendent suggérer des parcours de réflexions autour du guide touristique, un objet qui n’a cessé de se transformer et qui, à travers le lexique et les images, a su transmettre les patrimoines culturels le plus différents et les plus pittoresques
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
