Transforming the Loveless Society: Psychoanalysis in the Work of Paulo Freire
Get PDFIn this presentation Dr. Ricky Lee Allen discusses psychoanalysis in Paulo Freire’s work. Allen contends that the psychoanalytic dimension of Freire’s work is understudied, and this must be remedied to realize the fuller potential of critical pedagogy. Oppressive societies are loveless arrangements caught up in psychosocial cycles of abuse, terror, surveillance, and violence. Allen seeks to disrupt this reality through an amplification of the psychoanalytic theory at the heart of Freire’s work. He will look at the links to Frantz Fanon, Albert Memmi, and Erich Fromm. Finally, he will suggest a transformation of the loveless society through a critical pedagogy of healing.
Ricky Lee Allen, an Associate Professor in the Department of Language, Literacy & Sociocultural Studies at UNM, received his Ph.D. in Education (Urban Schooling) from the University of California, Los Angeles. He specializes in critical race studies, critical whiteness studies, and critical social theory. In his scholarship, Allen conducts critical theoretical studies of the material and psychic aspects of white existence. His courses include Whiteness Studies, Critical Race Theory, Paulo Freire, and Philosophy of Education. Before becoming a professor, Allen was a secondary science teacher in suburban Cincinnati, rural Indiana, and urban Los Angeles.

Whiteness and Critical Pedagogy
Get PDFDr. Ricky Lee Allen received his Ph.D. in Education (Urban Schooling) from the University of California, Los Angeles. He specializes in critical race studies, critical whiteness studies, and critical social theory. His scholarship focuses on the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of White identity politics. His publications include The Globalization of White Supremacy: Toward a Critical Discourse on the Racialization of the World, Whiteness and Critical Pedagogy, and What About Poor White People? His courses include Whiteness Studies, Critical Race Theory, Paulo Freire, and Philosophy of Education. Before becoming a professor, Allen was a secondary science teacher in suburban Cincinnati, rural Indiana, and urban Los Angeles.
Allen\u27s presentation considers how, even after decades of academic and public attention, the relationship between race and education is still largely misunderstood because we do not situate it within an accurate social and historical context. Race and racism are structural aspects of a racialized social system that organizes people into races, privileges whites, assigns relative value according to body schema, and produces and maintains hierarchies between racial groups. Education plays a role in re-creating this racialized social system, as do institutions and other phenomena external to schooling. Absent a consciousness of how this system operates, we misrecognize affluent white schools as good and white people as normal. This talk will challenge discourse that constructs white successes as a model by deconstructing how they are caught up in dehumanizing processes.https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/laii_events/1033/thumbnail.jp
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Laubieriellus Maciolek 1981
No full textGenus <i>Laubieriellus</i> Maciolek, 1981 <p> Type species. <i>Prionospio salzi</i> Laubier, 1970.</p> <p> <b>Description</b> (emended from Maciolek, 1981b). Prostomium anteriorly rounded, or with slight medial incision, extended posteriorly as a caruncle, occipital tentacle absent. Peristomium distinct from chaetiger 1, partly fused to prostomium. Four pairs of branchiae from chaetiger 2; branchiae elongate, cylindrical, smooth and distinct from notopodial lamellae. Neuropodial lamellae connected by ventral crests from chaetiger 2. Post-branchial notopodial lamellae connected in dorsal crests. Anterior chaetae all capillaries, multidentate hooded hooks present in posterior neuropodia. Notopodial hooks absent. Pygidium with 2 short ventrolateral lobes and 1 dorsomedial cirrus, or 3 subequal lobes or an undifferentiated ring.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> The new species described here is accommodated by the description of Maciolek (1981b) except that <i>Laubieriellus cacatua</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> has a smooth pygidial ring, with no pygidial lobes and no dorsomedial cirrus. We have therefore modified the generic diagnosis.</p>Published as part of <i>Erickson, Ricky-Lee & Wilson, Robin S., 2018, A new Laubieriellus species (Annelida, Spionidae) from Western Australia, pp. 261-268 in Zootaxa 4461 (2)</i> on page 262, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4461.2.7, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/1460078">http://zenodo.org/record/1460078</a>
