Full text link¿De qué manera configuran los huertos urbanos lugares para el empoderamiento de grupos excluidos? ¿De qué forma contribuyen a que las mujeres de las periferias urbanas se empoderen de nuevos espacios y roles? Este capítulo analiza el potencial emancipatorio de la agroecología urbana en el caso de Bogotá (Colombia) y sus alrededores, la Sabana de Bogotá. El análisis está basado en un proceso de investigación-acción participativa realizado entre 2014 y 2017 con grupos agroecológicos y circuitos agroalimentarios que conectan el campo con la ciudad. Partiendo de un marco teórico de la geografía crítica y feminista, el capítulo desarrolla una teoría de empoderamiento espacial y la conecta con ejemplos empíricos. El capítulo destaca el potencial de la economía solidaria practicada dentro de la agroecología para desencadenar procesos de empoderamiento espacial y discute tanto los factores que contribuyen como los que frenan estas potencialidades.In which way do urban gardens form places for empowerment of excluded groups? Does the organization in agroecological networks open up new spaces and roles for women? This chapter explores the emancipatory potential of urban agroecology in the case of Bogotá (Colombia) and its surrounding region called Sabana de Bogotá. The analysis is based on a process of participatory action-reasearch, conducted between 2014 and 2017 with agroecological groups and networks of CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) that link countryside with the city. Combining conceptual perspectives of critical and feminist geography, this chapter develops a theory of spatial empowerment and connects it with the empirical work. Highlighting the potential of solidarity economy within the movement of urban agroecology to unfold spatial empowerment this study elaborates the factors which favor and hinder this kind of processes
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Bringing Culinary Justice to the Table: A Conceptual Approach to Enrich the Debate on Food Justice
Full text linkThe concept of food justice is widely used in urban geography and agri-food studies in the Anglophone context. Much of the literature revolves around questions of how access to the land and resources to produce food can increase the ability to fulfil the food needs of low-income communities and communities of color, as well as the issue of food access in urban contexts. Less attention has been paid thus far to food preparation practices and culinary aspects. Against this background, we propose the concept of culinary justice, which links culinary practices and power, pointing to injustices in food provisioning and eating while also focusing on the symbolic and cultural components of food. Our central argument is that culinary elements and practices are important dimensions in questions about justice, as they enable a more nuanced understanding of socio-cultural, ecological, political, and historical food (in)equalities.Building on a review of existing approaches that touch upon the issues of culinarity and food justice in the areas of critical food studies, Black food studies, and postcolonial studies, we apply the concept of culinary justice to four contexts: private households, commercial restaurants, public catering, and community kitchens. In each area, we illustrate the role of food knowledge, care work, commensality, and spatial settings in issues of justice. As part of our contribution, we point toward future directions in food justice research, as well as future research needs in the practical field of food inequalities in culinary contexts
