Life is too short to be serious all the time: Donald Duck presents unconventional motivations for publishing in academia
No full textIn this food for thought article, we introduce the ‘Donald Duck Phenomenon’ to consider ten unconventional reasons for publishing in academia. These include (i) symbolic immortality, (ii) personal satisfaction, (iii) a sense of pride, (iv) serious leisure, (v) cause credibility, (vi) altruism, (vii) collaboration with a friend or family member, (viii) collaboration with a hero, (ix) conflict or revenge, and (x) for amusement. The article was inspired by the lead author’s social media search for a co-author with the surname ‘Duck’. Through LinkedIn, the lead author, Associate Professor William E. Donald, who is based in the UK and specialises in Sustainable Careers and Human Resource Management, found a collaborator, Dr Nicholas Duck, based in Australia and specialises in Organisational Psychology. While the collaboration may appear somewhat ‘quackers’, per one of Donald Duck’s famous phrases, “Life is too short to be serious all the time, so if you can’t laugh at yourself then call me… I’ll laugh at you, for you”. We hope that this article offers some interesting insights, particularly for academics at the start of their scholarly journey, and acts as a way to stimulate conversation around unconventional reasons for publishing in academia

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

Donald
No full textDonald will the culmination of my contribution to Adaptation, at Collective Gallery, Edinburgh, developed by the gallery in response to the multi-strand practices of Banu Cennetoglu, Maria Fusco, Dominic Paterson and Sarah Tripp. Adaptation will have a circular structure, which aims to challenge sequential narratives, and will be divided into four phases each dominated by a particular form. The four phases each take a different form of performative production across 2012—the lecture (February), the seminar (April), the essay-film (August), the book (November).
I will develop the book, Donald, as my main contribution to this project, which will centre on critical and creative readings of a selection of the film roles of Canadian actor Donald Sutherland, and will further build on previous writings on Sutherland’s work in my book The Mechanical Copula

Preparing for a Sustainable Career : Challenges and Opportunities
No full textA sustainable career can be understood as a dynamic and flexible process that plays out over time whereby, via career agency, an individual commits to lifelong learning and the generation of personal resources across a series of career experiences that provide meaning to the individual (Van der Heijden & De Vos, 2015). Therefore, the three dimensions of a sustainable career are person, context, and time. Our paper examines the challenges and opportunities that university students face when preparing for a sustainable career since time spent in higher education can act as an antecedent to career sustainability. The content is based on our Closing Keynote Speech at the GiLE4Youth Conference on 2nd June 2022. Conference Website: https://www.gile-edu.org/trainers-and-participants-of-the-gile4youth-conference
