HUW BEYNON: MARXISMO E SOCIOLOGIA
No full textResumo A entrevista com o sociólogo britânico Huw Beynon, autor de Trabalhando para a Ford, entrelaça as dinâmicas de trajetória intelectual, desenvolvimento institucional da sociologia (do trabalho, em particular), da política britânica e da tradição marxista. O autor reflete sobre uma vasta experiência na construção e difusão de uma sociologia crítica, centrada no engajamento com seu objeto e público extra- acadêmico. Destacam-se aqui as experiências em educação de adultos e de extensão com trabalhadores, as primeiras expressões da globalização e neoliberalismo como "movimento de fechamento" de fábricas - assim como as reações acadêmicas e sindicais ao processo -, além de respostas político-culturais recentes acerca da preservação de uma identidade operária enraizada e da reconstrução do Partido Trabalhista em torno da adesão da juventude. A entrevista com Huw Beynon sintetiza os elementos de uma obra que é parte inseparável das transformações no mundo do trabalho nos últimos cinquenta anos, assim como se apresenta como inestimável para sua compreensão sociológica
“Side by side with our men?”: women's activism, community, and gender in the 1984–1985 British miners’ strike
Full text linkThis paper explores the gendered concept of community with reference to the activism of women during the UK 1984–1985 miners’ strike. Drawing on texts from the period and reflective discussions twenty years later with women associated with the strike, it interrogates the ways in which the idea of community was used to accommodate the activism of women. We argue that the apparently gender-neutral ideal of mining community carried meanings that had ambiguous political implications for the women and that the strike highlighted paradoxes that question established understanding of female strike activism

The condition of labour-a retrospect
No full textThe publication of the first issue of Capital & Class belongs to much the same period that saw the publication of Living with Capitalism, which was written by Huw Beynon and myself (Nichols and Beynon 1977) and which was the product of a research team that also included Peter Armstrong and Martyn Nightingale. I recently re-read the book, 30 years after the fieldwork began
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
