Heritage interpretations : remembering, translating, and utilizing the past
No full textThis chapter addresses the synergistic relationship between heritage, memory, and translation from a conceptual and an applied perspective. It begins by emphasizing how all three operations can be framed in relation to narratives, interactions, subjectivities, and shifts; and yet there remains significant interdisciplinary scope for further investigation into the myriad ways in which translation mediates heritage meanings and simultaneously negotiates visitor experience and engagement. Similarly, little space has been carved out for practical translation considerations within heritage interpretation guidelines, and so this chapter calls for more sustained, empirically led, and joined-up thinking about the heritage–memory–translation triad. The chapter then gestures towards the participatory turn in the cultural sector as a framework for bringing together various stakeholders in that triad to encourage a collaborative approach to interpretative materials. It reports on the endeavours of the 'Translating Scotland's Heritage' research network to stimulate cross-sectoral discussions and provides an applied case study on translation at the Kelpies heritage site. Central issues include anxieties over translation quality, the role of technology, the reception of translated material, accessibility, and minority language use. The chapter concludes with some reflections on directions in which the research horizon might expand

This chapter explores some of the key questions and approaches that have arisen in cycling studies over the last two decades, ranging from realist to constructivist analysis. It offers a brief introduction to some of the most important strands of social theory applied to cycling studies.

Concentration in Knowledge Output: A case of Economics Journals
No full textThis paper assesses the degree of author concentration in seven economics journals, which were published in India during 1990-2002. To measure the degree of author concentration, Lotka's Law was used. Moreover, we also make an exploratory analysis of the geographic, economics subfield and institutional concentration in 704 economics journals. An important finding of this paper is that specialized journals in the sample report the highest degree of author concentration. This result is quite similar to the findings by Cox and Chung (1991). Furthermore, there are several instances showing that the journals lean towards certain norms; this may affect the flow of innovative ideas into economics. We conclude that a knowledge activity, involving the high degree of concentration and a biased publication process, may affect the flow of new ideas into the discipline.Concentration, Lotka's Law
