Trust, Ethics and Automation:Anticipatory imaginaries in everyday life
No full textThe concept of trust has become central to discussions about the future of automated systems. This chapter interrogates how trust, as an anticipatory category, is associated with future ambitions for Automated Decision-Making (ADM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) within research and innovation narratives about how to accrue the supposed benefits of future technologies. For industry and policy stakeholders, and in academic disciplines such as human-computer interaction, computer science and engineering disciplines, ethics and subsequently trustworthiness can be designed in automated technologies themselves. As part of a digital capitalist innovation agenda, trust is thus conceptualised as the outcome of technological innovation and the production of ethical machines. In contrast, in design anthropology, trust is seen as emergent from the contingent circumstances of the everyday and inextricable from everyday ethics. Subsequently we need to re-define and re-engage anticipatory categories and concepts associated with automation in order to restructure and revise the terms of interdisciplinary collaboration to account for everyday ethics.</p

Digital anticipation
No full textThis chapter develops and demonstrates a design anthropological approach to the anticipatory modes through which we live with digital technologies and media. In doing so, it expands recent attention to the entanglements of digital living in media phenomenology scholarship. It achieves this through engaging design anthropological concepts of contingency and improvisation on the one hand and trust and anxiety on the other. It creates a dialogue between these sets of concepts and the question of how everyday digital ethics are constituted in practice. In doing so, the chapter draws on extensive qualitative research which followed how the use of digital technologies, platforms and media shifted elements of the practice of child protection social work during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom in 2020
Anthropologies and futures : setting the agenda
No full textThis book, as a collective action, seeks to derail mainstream social and cultural anthropology from an insular and inward looking single-discipline route that threatens to exacerbate its isolation and incapacity to participate and intervene in the major worldmaking activities of our times. At the margins of anthropology, applied, interdisciplinary, futures, and interventional strands have long since militated for a useful and engaged anthropological practice, and have gained traction. Yet, as a discipline, anthropology has been on track to arrive late on the futures research scene. By opening our scholarship, practice, and intentions to other disciplines, techniques, and aspirations, we have the opportunity to bring to the study and making of futures an approach inflected by the ethical and participatory principles of anthropology. The benefits are both the contribution that anthropology can offer to world making and a renewed anthropology that nevertheless maintains its critical core, its ethnographic origins and its capacity to engage with the world and people at a depth and moral perspective. These characteristics of an anthropological commitment to attempt to comprehend the world in a way that cares are fundamental to our discipline and to the practice of Futures Anthropology. Yet we call for an anthropology that is more daring, open, and interventional: that faces futures and our role in shaping them, full on, while retaining a critical perspective. This book sets the ground for this movement in anthropology, as a shared concern

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
