“Faculty and Students Together in the Redwoods” An Oral History with Carolyn Martin Shaw
Full text linkCarolyn Martin Shaw joined the UCSC faculty in 1972, hired by the anthropology department and Kresge College, where she served as provost from 1991 to 1996. In selecting Professor Martin Shaw in 2004 for the Dean McHenry Award for Distinguished Leadership in the Academic Senate, the Committee on Committees noted her “intelligent, imaginative, indefatigable, and principled work to create…communities of scholarship and learning characterized by openness, fairness, and respect.” Martin Shaw’s abiding interest in the nature of human community and her dedicated efforts to help build robust communities at UCSC emerge as running themes throughout her oral history.UCSC in the early 1970s presented her with other kinds of foreignness as well, in its whiteness and in the economic privilege enjoyed by many of its students. Landing in what was “really a world that I’m not familiar with,” Martin Shaw responded by rolling up her sleeves with curiosity, clear-sightedness, and a sense of civic responsibility: “Well, let me see what this world is like. …I’ve entered into a contract, and you’ve done so with me, and we’ve got to figure out a way to talk to each other.”This attitude characterizes her discussion of many community-building challenges she engaged over the years at UCSC, in college, departmental, campus and system-wide contexts: identifying unrecognized power imbalances in Kresge’s purportedly liberating and egalitarian “touchy-feely” early culture (whose salubrious innovations she champions even as she critiques its problems); cultivating a supportive campus environment for students of color and other historically disenfranchised groups; navigating contentious periods in the evolution of the anthropology department and women’s studies program; developing sensitive and effective policies for addressing sexual harassment; obtaining faculty recognition for the dignity of staff labor and attention to the service of non-senate faculty; achieving senate support for a bold plan to revitalize the colleges as sites of academic endeavor; attempting to reduce the administration’s use of police force to quell student demonstrations
The Premature Burial: A Reply to Martin Shaw
No full textMartin Shaw\u27s \u27unofficial\u27 history of the International Socialists makes an important contribution to the debate that has been taking place, over the last few years, in the pages of The Socialist Register about the sort of organization that the British left needs. Shaw has written, firmly if not without melancholy, an obituary for the political tendency represented by the International Socialists and (since 1977) the Socialist Workers Party. By 1976, Shaw tells us, the organization was \u27radically deformed\u27; its politics had become \u27opportunistic, unrealistic and sectarian\u27; its \u27degeneration\u27 represented a \u27squandering of the potential for a new socialist movement\u27; it had undergone \u27catastrophic changes\u27
Militarismo de transferencia de riesgo militar y la legitimidad de la guerra tras Irak
No full textEl siglo XXI ha visto el surgimiento de lo que Martin Shaw denomina militarismo de transferencia de riesgo, que ya habría sido aplicado en las guerras de Afganistán e Irak. Una nueva estrategia de las potencias occidentales que disminuye los costes políticos de las intervenciones armadas trasladando el riesgo a la parte contraria, esto es los enemigos no occidentales y caracterizadas por la muerte de las fuerzas armada enemigas, la participación de aliados locales que corren el principal riesgo, las pequeñas masacres accidentales de civiles, el control de los medios de comunicación y la existencia de víctimas civiles indirectas. Todo ello permitiría al autor afirmar que junto con el resurgir de la guerra justa, resurgen también nuevos medios para deslegitimar los conflictos armados y justificar el pacifismo histórico
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
What is genocide?: a new social theory
No full textIn this intellectually and politically potent new book, Martin Shaw proposes a way through the confusion surrounding the idea of genocide. He considers the origins and development of the concept and its relationships to other forms of political violence. Offering a radical critique of the existing literature on genocide, Shaw argues that what distinguishes genocide from more legitimate warfare is that the enemies targeted are groups and individuals of a civilian character. He vividly illustrates his argument from a wide range of historical episodes, and shows how the question 'What is genocide?' matters politically whenever populations are threatened by violence. This compelling book will undoubtedly open up vigorous debate, appealing to students and scholars across the social sciences and in law. Shaw's arguments will be of lasting importance

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
