Conversazione con Alessandro Monsutti
Full text linkIntervista ad Alessandro Monsutti per riportare la sua lunga esperienza come accademico in ambito internazionale e come antropologo e consulente per diverse organizzazioni umanitarie e di sviluppo. Il focus dell'intervista sviluppa il tema della mobilità e della frontiera nell'antropologia applicata ai contesti dei rifugiati, in particolare il caso dell'Afghanistan dagli anni '90 ad oggi, con approccio interdisciplinare e transnazionale
En suivant les réseaux de Kaboul à New York : Quelques réflexions méthodologiques sur la recherche ethnographique parmi les migrants
Full text linkCe texte se fonde sur une recherche menée parmi les Hazaras, une population originaire du centre de l’Afghanistan. Il expose comment s’articulent le cadre théorique et l’approche méthodologique d’une recherche portant sur de vastes réseaux migratoires qui se déploient entre l’Afghanistan, le Pakistan, l’Iran et, de façon croissante, l’Occident, en montrant comment des considérations générales sont mises en oeuvre concrètement sur un terrain éclaté. Après avoir rapidement passé en revue de façon critique les débats portant sur les migrations, l’auteur aborde les techniques d’enquête adoptées : ethnographie itinérante, parcours de vie d’un nombre initialement faible de personnes, grille d’entretien et brèves généalogies pour reconstruire les relations sociales mobilisées au cours de la migration. Il s’agit de dépasser l’idée que la migration est un déplacement linéaire suivi d’une intégration plus ou moins réussie dans la société d’accueil : en effet, il apparaît au contraire que des lieux éloignés peuvent former un système et que la circulation des personnes a bien souvent un caractère multidirectionnel et récurrent.This text is based on research conducted among the Hazaras, a population group from the centre of Afghanistan. It presents the nature of the link between the theoretical framework and the methodological approach of a research project that focuses on the vast migratory networks unfurling between Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and, increasingly, the West, and shows how general considerations are concretely brought into play in a spatially exploded field. After providing a quick critical review of the debates concerning migrations, the author addresses the survey techniques adopted: itinerant ethnography, the life path of an initially limited number of people, an interview grid and brief genealogies used to reconstruct the social relations mobilized during the migration. It is a question here of going beyond the idea that migration is a linear displacement followed by a more or less successful integration into the host society: in fact, on the contrary, it would appear that faraway places may form a system and that the circulation of people very often has a multidirectional and recurrent character
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

Full text linkWe 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
La migration comme rite de passage : la construction de la masculinité parmi les jeunes Afghans en Iran
No full textDepuis fort longtemps, migrer fait partie du paysage culturel afghan. Nomades qui mènent au gré des saisons leurs troupeaux à la recherche des meilleurs pâturages, mais qui tirent profit de leurs déplacements pour commercer avec les sédentaires, populations montagnardes qui se rendent en ville ou dans les basses terres pour trouver un emploi saisonnier, pèlerins, fuyards ou conquérants, les Afghans ont une longue expérience de la migration sous toutes ses formes. La guerre qui a ravagé l’Afgh..
