Berliner Stadtteilmütterprojekte als Aushandlungsraum städtischer Integrationspolitik
Get PDFSoftcover, 17x24Integration ist ein umkämpftes und von vielfältigen Rassismen geprägtes Thema. Dies zeigt sich sowohl in gesellschaftlichen Debatten als auch in der Umsetzung politischer Maßnahmen. In ihrer ethnografischen Fallstudie untersucht Sulamith Hamra die komplexen Dimensionen städtischer Integrationspolitik am konkreten Beispiel von vier sogenannten Stadtteilmütterprojekten in Berlin. Im Fokus der Beobachtung liegen Aushandlungsprozesse um die praktische Realisierung dieser Projekte und deren integrationspolitische und repräsentative Bedeutung. Berliner Stadtteilmütterprojekte und ihre Umsetzungen werden über mehr als zehn Jahre beobachtet und in ihren Logiken und Widersprüchlichkeiten sichtbar gemacht. Die Problematiken fehlender Arbeitsmarktzugänge und die Rolle politischer und medialer Darstellungen von integrationspolitischen Maßnahmen in Deutschland werden dabei in ihrer interaktiven Verschränkung deutlich.Project ‚Integration‘. Berlin District Mothers and the negociation of integration policies
The topic of integration is fiercely disputed and influenced by various racisms. This is manifested in social debates as well as the implementation of policies. In her ethnographic case study, Sulamith Hamra examines the complex dimensions of urban integration policies using the example of four so-called district mothers projects in Berlin. The study focuses on negotiation processes relating to the actual implementation of those projects as well as their importance for the policy of integration and representation. It follows and describes the Berlin district mothers projects over the course of more than ten years and reveals their logics and inconsistencies. The study thereby highlights the issues caused by a lack of access to the labour market as well as the significance of the way integration policies are represented in politics and the media
Standardisierung und Normalisierung von Elternschaft am Beispiel von Adoptionsbewerbern und Adoptiveltern
Get PDFFamilie wird in den deutschen Medien und der Politik seit einiger Zeit als „Problemfall“ wahrgenommen. Nicht nur Szenarien einer „dramatisch alternden Gesellschaft“ werden dabei gezeichnet, auch die Frage nach der „Erziehungskompetenz“ der Eltern wird diskutiert. In der politischen Debatte, wie auch in der Mediendiskussion wird dabei die Ambivalenz zwischen dem Vorrang des Kindeswohls und der Wahrung von Elternrechten deutlich. Während die staatliche Sanktionierung der familiären Privatsphäre jedoch eine Überprüfung angehender (biologischer) Eltern verhindert, ist für Adoptionsbewerber das Bestehen eines Eignungsverfahrens die Voraussetzung für die ‚Zulassung’ zur (Adoptiv-)Elternschaft. In dieser Magisterarbeit wird untersucht, mit welchen gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen von Familie und (Adoptiv-)Kindern sich (angehende) Adoptiveltern auseinandersetzen müssen. Zu diesem Zweck analysiert die Autorin die gesetzlichen und institutionellen Voraussetzungen der Adoption in Deutschland. Sie wertet 16 mehrstündige, leitfadengestützte Interviews mit Berliner Adoptionsvermittlern und (angehenden) Adoptiveltern sowie Beobachtungen in einer Adoptionsselbsthilfegruppe aus. Unter Rückgriff auf theoretische Konzepte, die sich an Foucaults Begriff der Gouvernementalität anlehnen, wird untersucht, inwiefern von einer Standardisierung bzw. einer Normalisierung von Elternschaft im Zusammenhang mit dem Adoptionsverfahren gesprochen werden kann. Von besonderem Interesse ist dabei einerseits, wie die Betroffenen lernen, eine diskursiv und institutionell als „außergewöhnlich“ und „unnatürlich“ dargestellte Beziehungskonstellation zwischen Eltern und adoptiertem Kind zu normalisieren. Andererseits geht die Autorin der Frage nach, wie staatliche Regulation von den betroffenen Familien in individuelles und familiales Selbstmanagement transformiert wird.For some time “the family” has been perceived as problematic by German media and politics. Not only scenarios of a „dramatically aging society“ are envisioned, but also the question of „educational competences“ is being discussed. In the political debate as well as in media discussions an ambivalence between the priority of the welfare of the child and the protection of parents’ rights is apparent. While governmental protection of „familial privacy“ prevents control of (biological) parents to be, applicants for adoption have to pass an aptitude test to be admitted for (adoptive) parenthood. This M.A. thesis examines the societal notions of family and children which adoptive parents have to deal with. The author analyses the juridical and institutional conditions of adoptions in Germany. She evaluates 16 qualitative interviews of several hours with Berlin adoption agents and adoptive parents (to be) as well as the results of ethnographic observations in an adoption support group. With reference to theoretical concepts that are modelled on Foucault’s idea of governmentality the thesis examines in how far one can speak of a standardization or normalization of parenthood in the context of the aptitude test. On the one hand the study focuses on how the concerned persons learn to normalize a relationship between parents and adoptee that is discursively and institutionally regarded as “extraordinary” and “unnatural”. On the other hand the author attends to the question of how governmental regulation is transformed into individual and familial self-management by the concerned families
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
