Marxist and Post-Marxist Critique of Identity Politics
No full textRasprava o tome kako ljevica treba pristupiti pitanju politika identiteta bila je na svome vrhuncu 90-ih godina i početkom novog stoljeća, kada se općenito puno govorilo o krizi ljevice, a ponovno je postala aktualna s rastom popularnosti Alt-right pokreta i njegovom svojevrsnom kooptacijom diskursa politika identiteta. Rad prikazuje sukob između starog marksizma i socijalne pravednosti s jedne strane te identitetskih i kulturalnih pitanja s druge. Taj je sukob u radu prikazan kroz teoriju marksistkinje Ellen Meiskins Wood te roditelja postmarksizma Ernesta Laclaua i Chantal Mouffe.The discussion about how the left should go about the question of identity politics was at its height in the nineties and at the beginning of this century when there was a lot of talk about the crisis of the left in general. With the rise of the Alt-right movement's popularity the discussion once again came into focus. The thesis shows the conflict on the left between the old Marxism and social justice on the one hand and identity and cultural questions on the other. The conflict is shown in the thesis through the theory of Marxist author Ellen Meiskins Wood and the parents of Post-Marxism Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Civil War in Rwanda 1994
Get PDFOsnovni razlog odabira ove teme bio je interes za područje svijeta o kojem se malo zna. Afrika najčešće asocira na bijedu i siromaštvo, a na spomen imena Ruande rijetko tko će spomenuti da se tamo dogodio jedan od najvećih masakra u povijesti čovječanstva. Genocid koji se dogodio 1994. godine nadmašio je po svojoj brutalnosti i broju žrtava dotad najekstremniji zločin u povijesti, Holokaust nad Židovima. Tema ovog rada nije uspoređivanje Holokausta i građanskog rata u Ruandi, ali bitno je bilo za napomenuti određene sličnosti u provođenju procesa etničkog čiščenja. U Ruandi je jedna od razlika bila ta da je jedan narod, Hutu, želio izbrisati postojanje drugog naroda, Tutsi, iz Ruande. Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je usvajanje znanja o jednom bitnom događaju koji je obilježio kraj prošlog stoljeća kao i promišljanje o izazovima koji Ruandu čekaju nakon ove tragedije
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Work, Influence and Legacy of Peacekeeping Activism in Croatia from Svarun to REKOM
No full textOvaj se rad bavi istraživanjem uloge mirotvornog aktivizma u Republici Hrvatskoj od 1985. do 2006. godine. Cilj je ovoga rada nadopuniti prazninu nastalu unutar proučavanja mirotvornog aktivizma u Hrvatskoj. U njemu se analiziraju ključne grupe i pokreti koji su prije, za vrijeme i nakon Domovinskog rata značajno doprinijeli izgradnji mira. U prvom dijelu rada definiraju se glavni pojmovi kao što su izgradnja mira, mirotvorni aktivizam i nevladine udruge. Drugi se dio rada bavi konkretnim primjerima mirotvornog aktivizma na području Republike Hrvatske, kao što je rad udruga „Antiratna kampanja Hrvatske“, „Centar za mir, nenasilje i ljudska prava – Osijek“ i „Hrvatski helsinški odbor“ te brojnim projektima poput „Volonterski projekt Pakrac“ i „Mirovni timovi“. Zadnji dio rada bavi se analizom učinkovitosti mirotvornog aktivizma, što čini pomoću sedam glavnih funkcija civilnog društva u izgradnji mira: pružanje pomoći i zaštita građana od nasilja, promatranje kršenja ljudskih prava, zagovaranje mira, socijalizacija svih skupina društva, poboljšavanje međugrupne kohezije, rad na olakšavanju dijaloga između lokalnih i nacionalnih aktera te donošenje novih usluga kako bi se omogućila izgradnja mira. Proučavanjem rada nevladinih udruga nastoji se prikazati kako je mirotvorni aktivizam na prostoru Hrvatske bio uspješan te pridonio izgradnji mira.This paper investigates the role of peace activism in the Republic of Croatia from 1985 to 2006. The main goal of this paper is to fill in the blank created within the study of peace activisim in Croatia. It analyzes key groups and movements that made a significant contribution to peacebuilding before, during and after the Homeland war. The first part of the paper defines the main concepts such as peacebuilding, peace activism and NGOs. The second part of the paper deals with concrete examples of peace activism in the Republic of Croatia, such as the work of the associations "Croatian Antiwar Campaign", "Center for Peace, Nonviolence and Human Rights - Osijek" and "Croatian Helsinki Committee" and numerous projects such as "Volunteer Project Pakrac"and "Peace Teams". The last part of the paper analyzes the effectiveness of peace activism, which is done through seven main functions of civil society in peacebuilding: providing assistance and protection of citizens from violence, monitoring human rights violations, advocating for peace, socialization of all groups, improving intergroup cohesion, facilitation dialogue between local and national actors and the adoption of new services to enable peacebuilding. The study of the work of non-governmental organizations seeks to show how peace activism in Croatia has been successful and how it contributed to peace building
Ekofeminizam: sjecište feminističkih i ekoloških paradigmi
No full textOvaj rad istražuje ekofeminizam kao teorijsku i aktivističku paradigmu koja integrira feminističke i ekološke perspektive kako bi se razumjela povezanost opresije žena i eksploatacije prirode. Cilj istraživanja je ispitati u kojoj mjeri su feminizam i ekologizam kompatibilni te je li ekofeminizam koherentan pristup koji može ponuditi integrirana rješenja za oba problema. Glavni sadržaj istraživanja obuhvaća analizu teorijskih temelja ekofeminizma, različitih varijanti unutar pokreta i njihovih kritika. Metodologija rada temelji se na komparativnoj analizi različitih feminističkih i ekoloških teorija te njihovoj sintezi u ekofeministički okvir. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na postojanje značajne kompatibilnosti između feminizma i ekologizma unutar ekofeminizma, ali i na potrebu za daljnjim kritičkim dijalogom i integracijom različitih pristupa. Rad doprinosi razumijevanju ekofeminizma kao sveobuhvatnog okvira za povezivanje rodne ravnopravnosti i ekološke održivosti, nudeći nove smjernice za buduća istraživanja i praktične primjene
