Experiencing Tipping Points in International Law
Get PDFThings always have more than one beginning. It was one of those slightly cold days for my California blood, but this was northwest England and what would be described by locals as a pleasant afternoon in early 2017. The Manchester International Law Centre had arranged a two-day event, inviting colleagues to talk shop around formal panels and catch up on the latest professional gossip and personal updates over drinks and meals. Walking out from the sessions, Mortimer Sellers mentioned in conversation that the American Society of International Law (ASIL) Interest Group in International Legal Theory runs a series with Cambridge University Press. Maybe Jean and I would be interested to put together a proposal for an edited volume, and if we could land some funding, there might even be an occasion to host a workshop for authors at the ASIL Washington DC headquarters

Property Issues in the Indigenous Historical Contexts of Republican Latin America
No full textThis chapter illustrates the ideological and normative approach that altered the structure of the land tenure systems of the Latin American indigenous groups during the 19th century. The analysis will focus on the principal legal milestones enacted in four countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru. The chapter examines the legal transplant of possessive individualism in those zones in order to provide a critical review of the impact that the rule of law associated with the republican State model exerted in the arrangement of the indigenous agrarian system
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
