No full textUn’ecologia politica e femminista
Full text linkDisciplina recente e sovversiva, l’ecologia politica femminista si delinea come un campo promettente della ricerca, volto all’esplorazione di nuove sintesi fra l’ecologia politica e l’ambito degli studi di genere e degli studi femministi. A partire da un’analisi dell’approccio, passando poi per metodologie e tematiche, questo articolo traccia il filo conduttore che lega le nuove e meno nuove pensatrici di questa disciplina.With the aim to trace feminist political ecology’s genesis and evolution, this paper summarises the key steps that allowed its establishment as an academic field of research, at the crossroads of feminist theory, development studies and geography. By analysing the approaches, methodologies and themes, it will explore the common threads connecting the first and second generation of feminist political ecology thinkers.
Adequate Compensation in Case of Expropriation of Tribal People’s Land: the Case of Belo Monte, Brazil
No full textDeveloping projects in traditionally occupied territories affects indigenous and tribal groups with particularly serious consequences for their livelihood and agro-ecological spaces. The ILO Convention n. 169 on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples provides the same safeguards for both indigenous and tribal communities, including as to the use and enjoyment of traditionally occupied territories. In the Brazilian legal framework, distinctions between the two groups which might lead to discrimination claims among them and their entitlements to land are instead present. More radically, civil law notions such as “property” or “possession” are inadequate to depict the special relations between indigenous and tribal peoples and the land they occupy. Indeed, this relation goes beyond merely patrimonial aspects and has a deep spiritual meaning. The construction of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant in the Xingu Basin, Brazil, which is causing the displacement of 60.000 people, will be used as a case study. The remedial actions taken by the Norte Energia consortium have not been able to adequately compensate the material and moral damages suffered by tribal peoples. This paper aims to: (a) identify the legal issues hindering the granting of prior and fair compensation for the losses suffered by tribal peoples, and (b) suggest best practices for effective compensation

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
