Subduing power : Indigenous sovereignty matters
No full textThe concept of ‘power’ can refer to the institutionalised and\ud
embodied capacity and right to dominate through a variety\ud
of means including ideology, politics, science, religion, class,\ud
race, gender and sexuality. Early feminist theorising within\ud
the West, for example, conceptualised the structure and\ud
nature of power as being connected to male domination and\ud
authority within society. Marxists, alternately, argue it is the\ud
ruling class that holds power and exercises it as owners of the\ud
means of production. In a general sense, we can say that as\ud
feminists have tied power to patriarchy and Marxists’ definitions\ud
of power have been connected to capitalism. The essays\ud
in this section, though, are less concerned with such totalising\ud
conceptualisations of power than they are with processes of\ud
interpellation or subject creation within dominant or dominating\ud
discursive spaces.1 Not power as such, but its many\ud
workings and apparatuses
Hope and Farce: Indigenous peoples' water reforms during the Millennium Drought
No full textUnstable Relations examines the relationship between environmentalism and Indigenous people. This chapter sets out some of the challenges of engagement that Indigenous people face within the very connected context of river degradation and water reform, living as a minority within Australia's colonial-settler state. The author asserts that a particular kind of thinking has been normalised as culturally neutral universal knowledge, whilst simultaneously marginalising the contribution of other knowledge traditions; and that a different kind of thinking is needed to address river health
Indigenous cultural studies : intersections between cultural studies and indigenous studies
No full textHistory, Power, Text collects together selected contributions on Indigenous themes published between 1996 and 2013 in the journal first known as UTS Review and now known as Cultural Studies Review. Since the journal’s inception, successive editors have sought to open up a space for new kinds of politics, new styles of writing and new modes of interdisciplinary engagement. Like the journal it draws its material from, this collection has been conceived and assembled as an exercise in institution building beyond ‘the Institution’. We call this institution, tentatively, ‘Indigenous cultural studies’ and see it as a disciplinary space that is built iteratively through events, single articles and books. We do not seek to prescribe or delimit this project but rather to give it density and energise those working in the overlapping fields represented here
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

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
