Life is too short to be serious all the time: Donald Duck presents unconventional motivations for publishing in academia
No full textIn this food for thought article, we introduce the ‘Donald Duck Phenomenon’ to consider ten unconventional reasons for publishing in academia. These include (i) symbolic immortality, (ii) personal satisfaction, (iii) a sense of pride, (iv) serious leisure, (v) cause credibility, (vi) altruism, (vii) collaboration with a friend or family member, (viii) collaboration with a hero, (ix) conflict or revenge, and (x) for amusement. The article was inspired by the lead author’s social media search for a co-author with the surname ‘Duck’. Through LinkedIn, the lead author, Associate Professor William E. Donald, who is based in the UK and specialises in Sustainable Careers and Human Resource Management, found a collaborator, Dr Nicholas Duck, based in Australia and specialises in Organisational Psychology. While the collaboration may appear somewhat ‘quackers’, per one of Donald Duck’s famous phrases, “Life is too short to be serious all the time, so if you can’t laugh at yourself then call me… I’ll laugh at you, for you”. We hope that this article offers some interesting insights, particularly for academics at the start of their scholarly journey, and acts as a way to stimulate conversation around unconventional reasons for publishing in academia
Indians and the American West in the Twentieth Century
No full textAs the twentieth century began, Native Americans were reeling from a century of war, forced resettlement, and loss of indigenous control. In a narrative that is compellingly evenhanded and insightful, Donald L. Parman follows the Indians' continuing struggle to hold on to their land, their resources, and their identity. Focusing on the American West, Parman presents twentieth-century Indian history in the context of regional development. Two questions dominate this story: Who will control Indian resources, and who will control Indian affairs? The turning point is World War II, when Indians in considerable numbers left reservations for wartime jobs or military service, leaving a postwar legacy of migration to urban centers, a sharpened sense of racial identity, and a desire for greater tribal autonomy. These changes set the stage for such key events and trends of recent Indian history as the Red Power Movement, tribal development of resources, fights for new legislation and more favorable policies, and the entry of Indians into gambling ventures. Parman details these events and clarifies their historical significance, and he provides a useful assessment of the status of Native Americans in the West as the century comes to a close

Variations on the Author
No full text“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
