Variations on the Author
No full text“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

The Age of Mass Migration: Causes and Economic Impact
No full textAbout 55 million Europeans migrated to the New World between 1850 and 1914, landing in
North and South America and in Australia. This movement, which marked a profound and permanent
shift in global population and economic activity, is described in vivid detail by Timothy J. Hatton
and Jeffrey G. Williamson, and the causes and effects relative to this great relocation are soundly
analysed. The Age of Mass Migration offers a thorough treatment of a period of vital development
in the economic history of the modern world and, moreover, devotes much objective consideration to
certain economic questions that still baffle us today: Why does a nation's emigration rate
typically rise with early industrialization? How do immigrants choose their destinations? Are
international labour markets segmented? Do immigrants truly "rob" jobs from locals? What impact do
immigrants have on wage rates and living standards in the host country? In addressing these issues,
and many of others, this book takes a new and comprehensive view of mass migration. Although
somewhat controversial in terms of method--it assigns to a social phenomenon an economic
explanation and interpretation-- The Age of Mass Migration will be useful to all students of
migration, historical or contemporary, and to anyone interested in international economic
activities
Voting Up? The Effects of Democracy and Franchise Extension on Human Stature
No full textWe study the effect of the spread of democracy on population health in 15 European countries since the middle of the 19th century, and more specifically the average height of adult males by five-year birth cohort, and we estimate the effect of transitions to democracy using within-country variation. We find that the advent of democracy increased average height by about 0.7 cm. When we also account for the extension of the franchise to women, this increases to 1 cm or about 9% of the total increase in height of birth cohorts from the 1870s to the 1970s. Intervening mechanisms include reduced inequality and increased expenditure on social and health services. Our results are robust to a wide range of econometric tests
