«Accounting for the Incandescence». A Transatlantic Gaze on the Feminisms of the Long 1968
Full text linkPutting into question the usefulness and the adequacy of the Wave metaphor as a key to understand the complexity of the feminist movement and its history, the author critically recounts the salient nodes around which the feminist movement has discussed on the transnational level the issue of wage for housework and the nexus production/reproduction in the long 1968, critically rethinking the differences between women and the different experiences of oppression in capitalist society. In particular, the essay analyzes the way in which the dichotomy redistribution/recognition has constituted an inseparable nexus in feminist reflections and has redefined the relationship between gender, class and ethnicity/race, showing the centrality of the intersections between them for the movement and feminist theory

No full textThe Stalemate of Sovereignity: Talcott Parsons and the Eve of a Global Social System
No full textIl saggio ricostruzione la riformulazione del concetto di potere nell'opera di Talcott Parsons a partire prima dalla critica delle posizioni di Charles Wright Mills e poi dalla crisi dei missili cubani. Parsons muove dalla critica del concetto di sovranità, sostenendo l'insufficienza all'interno di un sistema sociale che si avvia a diventare globale. All'interno di questo sistema il potere non può essere concepito come un gioco a somma zero, bensì come una risorsa che viene prodotta e può aumentare grazie alla sua circolazione all'interno del sistema. Da questa posizione teorica Parsons dichiara inconsistente il bipolarismo tra Usa e Urss, sostenendo già a metà degli anni settanta l'avvento di una sistema sociale globale
Mary McLeod Bethune at the United Nations Founding Conference: Women's Leadership and the Building of a Black Global Community
No full textThe paper analyzes the participation of African-American delegation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people to the founding conference of the United Nations in San Francisco (1945), and especially the leadership role played by Mary McLeod Bethune, President of the National Council of Negro Women. At the conference Bethune focused her activities on some key issues: the worlwide protection of human rigjts; the end of colonialism and the attainment of self-government by colonized peoples, a close alliance with all the "darker races" to create a black global community and the guarantee of civil rights to African americans in their own country
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
