No full textCo-production paradigm: Threat or Opportunity for Social Economy?
Get PDFThe aim of this contribution is to examine the “co-production” paradigm, focused on the cooperation between public services and their users, and its connections with the role of the social economy organizations, or Civil Society/Third Sector Organizations. Firstly, the paradigm itself and all the related concepts, such as co-creation, co-design, co-governance and so on, are deeply analysed through a review of the scientific literature.
Secondly, the authors take into consideration the “dark side” of the paradigm, i.e. its negative effects and implications, such as the risk of neglecting the importance of the Public Administration professionals’ contribution, and the underestimation of the Civil Society/Third Sector Organizations, which instead are primary stakeholders, especially in Europe. This strong collaboration between Public Administration and Third Sector Organizations is a peculiar form of co-production called “joint production”.
Two empirical case studies of joint production are taken from the Italian context and are examined in order to identify the structural elements that can facilitate or hinder the different phases of the co-creation/co-production process. They belong to the fields of emergency and healthcare services, in both of them the Third Sector Organizations historically played a primary role and are still playing it. This collaboration has strongly contributed to the high performances of the Italian health care system.
In the final section the authors illustrate the factors that boosted the joint production of public services in these fields, either by the public sector side and by the Third Sector side

Smart city projects and citizen participation: the case of London
No full textWe apply Arnstein’s ladder of citizen participation in a smart city context, focusing in particular on the ‘Smart London’ case. With this exploratory case study we contribute by setting out a replicable stepwise approach to assess a smart city plan vis-à-vis citizen participation. Furthermore, this study investigates the link between
the smart city ambitions of London and the concrete citizen participation levels of several projects within their smart city strategy. From the qualitative coding and classification we formulate a first proposition for further scientific elaboration on the relationship between the potential levels of citizen participation in a smart city project and the way stakeholders are represented in the project.status: Publishe
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
