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

Disputed relocation and property development in Shanghai, 1990-2005
No full textThis dissertation research examines social conflicts over large-scale community displacement arising from capitalist property development beginning in the early 1990s in Shanghai, China. Using ethnographic, archival, and legal research methods, this research provides an in-depth analysis of residents' years-long opposition to forced relocation, through which they sought to assert claims of rights and interests in the context of China's still top-down property regime. It argues that two structural forces prevent a broader participatory movement from raising a fundamental challenge to the existing property development regime: the design and application of relocation law, and the state's power to exploit residents' fears of being accused as political subversives if they challenge the relocation process. These material and ideological forces act together to deflect residents' collective attempts to challenge the existing property regime and, instead, to channel opposition into a discussion of personal (i.e., individual) economic loss and its remediation through pecuniary compensation. This dissertation also examines how law and state supremacy serve to deter and deflect conflicts by providing a source of legitimation for the developmental forces driving disputed relocation. The research advances understanding of how urban China's spatial modernization policy has turned into a source of social unrest, which in turn has enhanced the development of a civil and rights-conscious society in China.Ph.D.Includes abstractVitaIncludes bibliographical referencesby Mi Shi

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
The role of maternal verbal sensitivity during parent-child shared book reading in socio-emotional functioning in the preschool years
No full textThe concept of maternal sensitivity has shifted over time to include a focus on engagement with the child at a mental level in addition to physical and emotional care. This study investigates this idea, using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort. Maternal verbalization was captured using the Reading Aloud Profile–Together coding during mother-child book reading. Findings using latent class analyses showed that mothers could be classified into two distinct classes having different verbalization styles. Identified maternal verbal sensitivity was marked by bringing her child‘s world into communication and by facilitating the child to engage in communication, asking both close- and open-ended questions; whereas, less sensitivity at the verbal level was marked by focusing on the book rather than the child‘s experiences. The predictive validity of maternal verbal sensitivity was supported as it was positively associated with the child‘s social competence as rated by mothers, while at the same time being negatively associated with the child‘s externalizing behaviors as rated by both mothers and early care/education providers. This study fills a gap in the literature concerning correlates of maternal verbal interactive styles. Its findings suggest that maternal verbal sensitivity is a behavior not depending on contextual factors. Its findings also support Ainsworth‘s conceptualization of maternal sensitivity—a capacity to tailor responses to the child‘s individuality. Importantly, the overall findings showed the moderating role of maternal verbal sensitivity on the relation between mother/child background characteristics and the child‘s socio-emotional functioning, suggesting the effectiveness of interventions utilizing mother-child dyadic book-reading contexts. Furthermore, the findings imply that preschoolers have come to refine or re-organize the internal working models of the social worlds in the context of mother-child communication, which supports theoretical notions posited by attachment researchers. Finally, the findings underscore the methodological advantages of a person-level approach in investigating a new construct which is exploratory in nature and empirically driven. This study looked at the constellation of verbalizations at the person-level, thereby yielding the information about the complexity of them.Ph.
