    Vergeschlechtlichte Arbeitsteilung in der Corona-Krise als „Backlash“? Was Diskurskoalitionen zwischen Sozialwissenschaften und Politik thematisieren – und was ausgeblendet bleibt

    Full text link
    Als Folge der Lockdown-Regelungen zur Eindämmung der Corona-Pandemie rückte im Jahr 2020 in Österreich die Familie erstmals als Produzentin „systemrelevanter Leistungen“ ins Licht der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung: Sozialwissenschaftliche und massenmediale Beiträge problematisierten den Widerspruch zwischen der Notwendigkeit und der gesellschaftlichen Bewertung und Sichtbarkeit „privat“ geleisteter und vergeschlechtlichter Reproduktionsarbeit. Der Beitrag rekonstruiert anhand der Karriere des soziologisch geprägten Terminus der „traditionellen Rollenbilder“, wie das potentielle Konfliktfeld, das sich aus den getroffenen Maßnahmen und der empirisch dokumentierten Überforderung der Betroffenen ergab, diskursiv neutralisiert wurde, indem dessen kritische Stoßrichtung in gängige individualisierende und kapitalismuskompatible Bearbeitungsstrategien eingepasst wurde. Unter Bezug auf Erkenntnisse feministischer Ökonomie und Ideologiekritik wird rekonstruiert, wie unter Krisenbedingungen herrschende Mythen verfestigt werden und danach gefragt, welche Rolle sozialwissenschaftliche Kritik dabei einnehmen kann

Social sciences and news media prominently and critically discussed the contradiction between the necessity of “privately” performed, gendered reproductive work and its simultaneous low social valuation and invisibility in broader public life. This paper traces the “career” of the sociological concept of “traditional gender roles” in Austrian public debates during the pandemic. In doing so, it reconstructs the process by which the potential field of conflict, stemming from the measures taken in response to the pandemic on the one side, and the resulting, empirically documented excessive strain for families on the other, was discursively neutralized by adapting and appropriating its critical content to suit coping strategies conducive to individualism and capitalism. Drawing from feminist economics and critique of ideology, this paper reconstructs the mode by which prevailing myths become entrenched under conditions of crises and explores the possible roles of sociological critique in this process

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
