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
'They don’t make traditional baguettes’: food inequality and alternative bread supply chains in rural Ardèche, France
No full textInternational audienceThis communication proposes to discuss the notion of food inequality, namely in the context of so-called “alternative food networks” (Renting et al., 2003). I will deconstruct the various forms of food inequality present in institutional and social science spheres – financial or spatial access, inequality in terms of quantity or quality – as well as the epistemological and political roots of these different conceptions. I will then situate these discussions in a fine-grained ethnographic case study of an “alternative” bakery in rural Ardèche, France, that seeks not only to produce bread aligned with ideologies of durability and ecology – peasant wheat varieties, territorial and climatic adaptability – but that is also politically-oriented towards creating accessibility for diverse populations. We will see, however, that despite these efforts towards financial and spatial accessibility, certain important symbolic barriers prevent neighboring marginalized inhabitants from engaging in this alternative bread circuit. This transversal analysis is facilitated in part by an approach based on the lens of “supply chains,” through which I look at the interaction, coordination, and conflict between actors connected by variable ecological and economic ties; in this case, bakers, millers, farmers, and consumers. Ultimately, it remains crucial to examine within alternative food networks how inequalities are construed emically by different actors, how some aim to circumvent or transform these inequalities, and the political and practical barriers that can impede these efforts

Civilized cola and peasant pozol: young people’s social representations of a traditional maize beverage and soft drinks within food systems of Chiapas, Mexico
No full textInternational audienceIn Mexico, industrially grown and transformed foods have seen their consumption explode over the past half-century and soft drinks embody an emblematic example of the impact these shifts can have on health, traditional foodways, and family agriculture. This study compared the role of sodas with a traditional maize beverage, pozol, in the state of Chiapas, specifically among rural and urban secondary school youth. We found that students find sodas to be desirably “refreshing” and “tasty,” and associated them with wealthier social classes and an alluring vision of modernity. Pozol, on the other hand, was seen as “peasant food” or a poor-person’s drink. Nonetheless, most students have not abandoned its consumption and indeed, for many it represented their most significant daily liquid intake. Importantly, it was seen as more than refreshing libation, serving as a vital food source. We also found that within Chiapanecan society, pozol in fact represents a host of varying versions, whose consumption parallels ethnic, socio- economic, and rural/urban factors. Ultimately, some traditional foods have maintained a certain resilience in the face of more globalized foods, in part because of their perceived nutritional and cultural value, thus helping to reinforce the resilience of the peasant agroecology they depend on
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
