Section overview:Young people’s voice, agency and participation ‘beyond borders’
No full textIn this introduction, the concept of citizenship ‘beyond borders’ is used to reflect on the participation, voice and agency of adolescents and young people in ways that transcend and challenge traditional notions of citizenship, particularly in relation to the role of the state: migration, online participation, climate activism and counter-politics. This offers a framework for reading chapters in this section of the book, which explore how adolescents and young people in the Global South exercise voice and agency through ways of ‘being political’ that explicitly decentre the state and formal, traditional expressions of civic participation such as voting and joining parties. A key observation is that even through alternative modes of participation, gender and age norms often reinforce patterns of inclusion and exclusion that are central to institutional politics - problematising the avenues which exist for ‘citizenship’ beyond borders.</p
Final reflections and next steps for policy, programming and research
No full textThe concluding chapter reflects upon the key themes that have emerged across the case studies and contributions of this edited collection, which collective illustrate the importance of a relational, contextualised and intersectional lens on adolescents and young people’s citizenship. Key conceptual and empirical contributions to understanding adolescent and young people’s civic and political voice and agency are identified, as well as the implications for research, policy and programming with adolescents and young people in the Global South. Finally, the chapter asks ‘where next?' for work in this field.</p
Introduction:Adolescent and young people’s voice, agency and citizenship in the Global South
No full textThe introduction to this volume establishes a conceptual framework for understanding the voice, agency and citizenship of adolescents and young people in the Global South. It reflects upon key knowledge and policy gaps in relation to young women and girls and younger adolescents’ citizenship, and how to understand the nuances of voice and agency in contexts of inequality, marginalisation and precarity. Of particular emphasis is how voice and agency are expressed at different levels and in different spaces by young people, particularly those who are marginalised on the basis of gender and/or sexual identity, age, disability, citizenship status or geographical location. The conceptual framework presented here draws on intersectional approaches, the notion of collective agency, and the concept of ‘everyday politics’ to present a new lens on adolescent and young people’s voice, agency and citizenship in the Global South.</p
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
Adolescents in Humanitarian Crisis
No full textAdolescents in Humanitarian Crisis investigates the experiences of adolescents displaced by humanitarian crisis. The world is currently seeing unprecedented levels of mass displacement, and almost half of the world’s 70 million displaced people are children and adolescents under the age of 18. Displacement for adolescents comes with huge disruption to their education and employment prospects, as well as increased risks of poor psychosocial outcomes and sexual and gender-based violence for girls. Considering these intersectional vulnerabilities throughout, this book explores the experiences of adolescents from refugee, internally displaced persons and stateless communities in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Rwanda. Drawing on innovative mixed-methods research, the book investigates adolescent capabilities, including education, health and nutrition, freedom from violence and bodily integrity, psychosocial wellbeing, voice and agency, and economic empowerment. Centring the diverse voices and experiences of young people and focusing on how policy and programming can be meaningfully improved, this book will be a vital guide for humanitarian students and researchers, and for practitioners seeking to build effective, evidence-based policy

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
