Varför accepteras antiziganism mer än annan rasism? : Om ett tappat momentum och behovet av allianser
No full textSelling argues that antigypsyism has not been understood as a real racism rooted in colonialism and has therefore been ignored by many anti-racists. Through retrospectives of racism against Roma in Swedish history, Selling shows that the struggle against antigypsyism has partly been characterized by the fact that Roma have rarely considered themselves a "revolutionary subject" and therefore had to seek alliances with power, which have proven to be unstable. Selling also shows how the state has secured itself with a system of reference groups, which rewards yes-persons, but excludes the growing number of young qualified Roma antigypsyism critics. At the same time, the struggle of Roma has won successes, and the author describes examples of important Roma representatives, from Rosa Taikon and Hans Caldaras to Soraya Post, and the various momentum that has come as a result of the fact that antigypsyism in Sweden has been increasingly exposed. The essay also analyzes how unpredictable mass media events can undermine or fuel latent and manifest antigypsyism. Today, the author argues, there are openings to rediscover the consequences of antigypsyism through new alliances.Selling argumenterar för att antiziganismen inte har förståtts som en riktig rasism med grund i kolonialismen och därför ignorerats av andra antirasister. Genom tillbakablickar på rasismen mot romer i den svenska historien visar Selling att kampen mot antiziganismen delvis har präglats av att romer sällan själva har betraktat sig som ett ”revolutionärt subjekt” och därför behövt söka allianser med makten, vilka visat sig vara instabila. Selling visar också hur statsmakten säkrat upp sig med ett system av referensgrupper, som premierar ja-sägare, men stänger ute den växande skaran av unga kvalificerade romska antiziganismkritiker Samtidigt har romers kamp vunnit framgångar, och författaren beskriver exempel på viktiga romska representanter, från Rosa Taikon och Hans Caldaras till Soraya Post, och de olika momentum som kommit genom att antiziganismen i Sverige har blottlagts. I uppsatsen analyseras också hur oförutsägbara massmediala händelser kan komma att undergräva eller underblåsa latent och manifest antiziganism. I dag, menar författaren, finns det öppningar för att återupptäcka antiziganismens konsekvenser genom nya allianser
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
Romani Liberation
Get PDFCentered on the trajectory of the emancipation of Roma people in Scandinavia, Romani Liberation is a powerful challenge to the stereotype describing Romani as passive and incapable of responsibility and agency. The author also criticizes benevolent but paternalistic attitudes that center on Romani victimhood.
The first part of the book offers a comprehensive overview of the chronological phases of Romani emancipation in Sweden and other countries. Underscoring the significance of Roma activism in this process, Jan Selling profiles sixty Romani activists and protagonists, including numerous original photos. The narrative is followed by an analysis of the concepts of historical justice and of the process of decolonizing Romani Studies. Selling highlights the impact of the historical contexts that have enabled or impeded the success of the struggles against discrimination and for equal rights, emphasizing Romani activism as a precondition for liberation.
The particular Swedish framework is accentuated by a stimulating preface by the international activist Nicoleta Bitu, and afterwords by two prominent Romani advocates, the politician Soraya Post and the singer, author, and elder Hans Caldaras
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
