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
Curiosity, relationalities and monkeywrenching: The futures of the Anthropocene : Review of the book "Future Remains: A Cabinet of Curiosities for the Anthropocene", edited by Gregg Mittman, Marco Armiero, and Robert Emmett
No full text“I don’t particularly like the term Anthropocene, but perhaps, with a little monkeywrenching it can be repurposed”.[1] The words of Daegan Miller (p. 147) pretty much summarize my feeling towards the term Anthropocene, which is at the core of Future Remains: A Cabinet of Curiosities for the Anthropocene, edited by Gregg Mitman, Marco Armiero, and Robert Emmett (University of Chicago Press, 2018). The volume is the result of a “slam”: an art and scholarly contest organized by the CHE – Center for Culture, History and Environment at University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2014, in collaboration with KTH – Environmental Humanities Laboratory and Rachel Carson Center. The book is conceived as an environmental humanities approach – and critic – to the Anthropocene, understood as a cultural, taxonomic, ecological, and political process.</p
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
Cooking Commoning Subjectivities: Guerrilla Narrative in the Cooperation Birmingham Solidarity Kitchen
Full text linkIn this chapter, we explore the recently developed concept of guerrilla narrative as a tool that offers great potential for militant research. "Guerrilla narrative" emerged from the politicization of the oral history tradition; it was developed by Marco Armiero as a research tool to explore histories of contamination and resistance in subaltern communities. In this chapter, we broaden the scope of guerrilla narrative and explore its role in the reclamation/invention of the urban commons. Particularly, we look closely at the tools that contribute to the creation of commoning subjectivities. We focus on the mutual aid relief operations led by the grassroots organization Cooperation Birmingham during the COVID-19 pandemic, analysing both their solidarity kitchen and newsletter. We argue that both are manifestations of guerrilla narrative in the sense that both produce counter-hegemonic narratives while fostering commoning practices. This means that guerrilla narrative goes beyond the wording, textual or even artistic paradigms to incorporate more embodied forms of storytelling, such as the practice or running a solidarity kitchen or other forms of material commoning practices
Recensione: Marco Armiero, Wilko Graf von Hardenberg, Roberta Biasillo, La natura del duce. Una storia ambientale del fascismo, Torino, Einaudi, 2022, 200 pp.
No full textFinito di stampare ad aprile del 2022, edito nella collana di Einaudi Storia, il volume di Marco Armiero, Roberta Biasillo e Wilko Graf von Hardenberg intitolato La natura del duce. Una storia ambientale del fascismo, come dice la quarta di copertina, «finalmente [...] racconta il modo in cui il fascismo ha immaginato, usato e trasformato la natura». Il libro si inserisce nell’emergente interesse editoriale verso la storia ambientale. Da un lato, non è casuale la riedizione di testi ormai considerati classici della disciplina quali Qualcosa di nuovo sotto il sole di John R. McNeill, di Nature and Power di Joachin Radkau, o di La morte della natura di Carolyn Merchant. Dall’altro, nuove ricerche, tra le quali La natura del duce, stanno arricchendo il dibattito storiografico di nuova linfa.
Ma il testo dove si colloca? E perché la sua collocazione disciplinare è dirimente? La tensione tra ciò che è interno e oggetto d’analisi della disciplina e ciò che è esterno, e lontano dal suo campo d’indagine, riflette la natura conflittuale delle definizioni di ‘ambiente’ e ‘natura’ ed è un nodo strutturale della storia ambientale. Nell’impossibilità di riportare un dibattito che nel solo ambito nazionale è lungo più di un ventennio, si vuole sottolineare che chiarire tale aspetto sposta i limiti entro cui la storiografia ambientale lecitamente o meno discute e si circoscrive, stimolando nuove domande e originali linee di ricerca
