Holding on:Perspectives of working class identity in Goodson's life and work
No full textThis chapter explores the influence of class dynamics in Ivor Goodson's identity and work. The chapter takes and autoethnographic approach, using part of a conversation recorded while walking with Ivor in the summer of 2018, alongside examples from his published work. The author considers how perspectives of social class drive and shape Goodson's theory and practice and raises general questions about maintaining a working class identity whilst being and academic and a public intellectual
Professional provenance and the narrative construction of ‘reality’ in education
Get PDFTeachers’ and teacher educators’ capabilities to create and engage in humanising and meaningful learning and development with the participants and communities they serve underpins purposeful education practices and curricula. Such capabilities are constituent in establishing professional provenance in education. Effective educators draw on a myriad of pre-mediated knowledge and expertise, but in ways that respond to and sustain learners’ and communities’ ongoing development. The pivotal role of narrative in the project of establishing and sustaining professional provenance in education is presented in this chapter, together with a personal reflection on the importance and significance of Ivor Goodson’s work to the broader project of professional provenance in education. Goodson’s commitment to meaningful and humanising forms of education have characterised his life’s research and work, and this chapter, I hope, offers a brief insight into this contribution at a time when education nationally and globally is becoming increasingly prescriptive and dehumanised
Making narrative connections to renew our professional identities and ‘life politics’:Ivor Goodson’s role in challenging the neoliberal consensus
No full textOur stories are saturated in culture, history, the political economy and society and it is difficult to see how our smaller life struggles are inter-connected with these grand narratives. We may struggle too to ‘remember’ other narrative connections; to bring back to a private and public consciousness ‘other’ narra- tives (such as stories of social solidarity and alternative models of teacher pro- fessionalism) that might help us re-frame our ‘life politics’ and empower us to stand for something and someone else. Ivor Goodson’s substantial work speaks to the power of ‘storying together’, particularly in these neoliberal times. In storying together, we are challenged to hold on to a meaningful narrative for ourselves; to decide ‘whose side are we on?’ We are challenged too to expand our ‘horizontal connections’ and value the work done in the ‘small spaces of education’. In speaking to our enduring capacity to share critical narratives, Ivor Goodson’s work remains defiantly courageous and hopeful
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
A personal reflection of the influence of the public intellectual in neoliberal times
No full textThis chapter offers a personal reflection and part narrative on the intellectual and academic influence of Ivor’s work and thought. In a sense, this ‘story’ begins before we’d ever met, or I’d even heard of his work, yet reflects areas of commonality, trajectories and passions, which we are now as likely to discuss during personal interactions, as any academic concerns
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
