Political reconsideration of the Soviet past: attitudes and actions of the Lithuanian elites
Full text linkDifferent political elite groups of post-communist Lithuania offer different accounts of the Soviet past. Even twenty years later, after the collapse of communism Lithuanian politicians (with the exception of certain conservative anti-nostalgic leaders allied with some populists) still do not have a unified and coherent view on the Soviet political and social practices, truths, and methods. However, conservatives are very consistent in their restrictive views about the past and are willing to engage in propagating decision-making that prevents them from repeating the actions of the past. Social democrats, liberals, and populists are much more internally divided and tend to display lukewarm attitudes towards the Soviet past and its political reconsideration. Yet, the present analysis of the adopted laws and public policies, alongside a study on the attitudes of political elites make it possible to conclude that anti-nostalgia, the negative assessment of the Soviet life-style, criticism of it and attempts to keep the former Soviet decision makers out of Lithuania’s public administration are key ways of treating the past in Lithuania. All efforts to accommodate a more permissive attitude towards the Soviet past and civil servants whose career began under the Soviets do not find much support within the Lithuanian elite

No full textThe article presents an analysis of social security discourses produced
by contending political actors in non-democratic Belarus. Initially, we outline the current
situation of social security policies in Belarus. Then we identify key concepts regarding
social security and examine how they are used in presidential campaigns of 2006, 2010
and 2015. We focus on political candidates’ perception of responsibilities and distribution
of duties among different welfare agents (state, business, society and family). President
Lukashenka incrementally enriches his idea of the social security – predominantly organized
by a paternalistic state – with neo-liberal elements (oriented towards free market)
and conservative values (cherishing traditions and the family). The alternative candidates
highlight important social problems and propose innovative ideas. The non-democratic
leader appropriates social security ideas from the opposition. The Belarusian case is an
example of pragmatic autocracy which constructs its social policy discourse using paternalistic
legacies, populist promises and references to the free market, yet the arbitrary and
repressive state maintains the monopoly.Straipsnyje analizuojami socialinės apsaugos diskursai, nedemokratinėje Baltarusijoje
kuriami konkuruojančių politinių veikėjų. Pirmiausia apibūdiname socialinės apsaugos politikos
situaciją šalyje. Vėliau identifikuojame esmines sąvokas, siejamas su socialine apsauga ir stebime
kaip jos vartojamos prezidento rinkimų kampanijose 2006, 2010 ir 2015. Toliau susifokusuojame
į politinių kandidatų propaguojamas atsakomybės ir pareigų pasiskirstymo tarp skirtingų
socialinių veikėjų (valstybės, verslo, visuomenės ir šeimos) sampratas. Prezidentas Lukašenka
palaipsniui savo socialinės apsaugos – kurią pirmiausia organizuoja paternalistinė valstybė –
diskursą praturtina neo-liberaliais (siejamais su laisvąja rinka) ir konservatyviais (pabrėžiančias
šeimos ir tradicijų reikšmę) elementais. Alternatyvūs kandidatai labiau akcentuoja socialines
problemas ir siūlo novatoriškų idėjų kaip jas spręsti. Nedemokratinis lyderis ilgainiui perima
(pasisavina) opozicijos idėjas. Baltarusijos atvejis yra pragmatinio autoritarizmo pavyzdys, kur
socialinės apsaugos diskursas konstruojamas remiantis paternalistiniu paveldu, populistiniais
pažadais ir nuorodomis į laisvąją rinką, bet išlaikant arbitrarios valstybės monopolį
Grilles d'analyse de l'élite économique post-soviétique
No full textA threefold change (economic reform, democratization and a redefinition of the state's role) characterizes the post-Soviet transition. The post-Soviet economic elite should be studied by using various approaches proposed by economists, political scientists and sociologists. The one best suited to current conditions is the institutional approach, which considers the elite to be made up of individuals holding strategic positions in the country's major economic organizations. This approach needs to be completed with "qualitative" analyses (for example, in terms of a "social project") if we are to better understand actors' strategies in the post-Soviet economy, which is paradoxically both fluid and rigid. Ultimately, a multidisciplinary inquiry is needed, since the subject of the post-Soviet economic elite cannot be separated from the political, economic and institutional processes now under way in the ex-USSR and in most of its former satellites.Un triple changement (réforme économique, démocratisation et redéfinition de l'État) caractérise la transition post-soviétique. L'élite économique post-soviétique doit être étudiée à la lumière des différentes approches proposées par les économistes, les politologues et les sociologues. La plus adaptée aux conditions actuelles est l'approche institutionnelle selon laquelle l'élite économique comporte des individus occupant des positions stratégiques au sein des organisations importantes de l'économie nationale. Il convient de compléter cette approche par des analyses d'ordre "qualitatif (par exemple, celle du "projet social") si l'on veut mieux comprendre les stratégies des agents dans le champ économique post-soviétique, qui associe de manière paradoxale fluidité et traits corporatistes. En définitive, c'est une recherche pluridisciplinaire qui s'impose, le thème de l'élite économique post-soviétique ne pouvant être dissocié des processus politiques, institutionnels et économiques en cours dans l'ex-U.R.S.S. et la plupart de ses anciens satellites.Matonyte Irmina.

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
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
