More-than-human Perspectives on Physical Activity, Health and Education
Full text linkComo Fox e Alldred (2020) consideram, o dualismo Cultura / Natureza forneceu aos filósofos, cientistas e cientistas sociais pós-iluministas uma maneira elegante de estabelecer limites para as respectivas preocupações das ciências sociais e naturais (ver também Barad, 2007; Braidotti, 2013; Fullagar et al., 2019). Este dualismo tem permitido a criação de distinções entre corpos e modos de estar-no-mundo “modernos” (leia-se “civilizados”) e “tradicionais” (leia-se “primitivos”) (Denowski e Viveiros de Castro, 2014). No entanto, ao explorar criticamente as questões de incorporação (embodiment), a influência do ambiente construído sobre o bem-estar, as transições climáticas e/ou a pandemia de Covid-19 em curso, tais distinções começam a se tornar problemáticas, como argumentado eloquentemente nas últimas três décadas por debates e proposições feministas, pós humanistas, novo-materialistas e ecológico politicos, entre outros. Dando continuidade a um diálogo contínuo iniciado em 2018 entre acadêmicos e ativistas da América Latina e da Europa (ver Donato, Tonelli, Galak, 2019), este seminário explorou como os domínios inter-relacionados de saúde, atividade física e educação podem ser a partir de perspectivas que de des-estabilizar fronteiras ontológicas estabelecidas entre natureza, cultura, corpo e sua relação. Isto foi feito através de um diálogo entre Alessandro Bortolotti, Simone Fullagar, BrunoMora, Niamh Ni Shuilleabhain, (Austrália, Itália, Reino Unido e Uruguai, respectivamente). O evento online ocorreu como o primeiro de uma série de seminários online de duas partes sobre Remontando o nexo natureza-cultura-corpo: práticas e epistemologias.The Culture/Nature dualism has supplied post-Enlightenment philosophers, scientists and social scientists with a neat way to set limits on the respective concerns of the social and natural sciences (see Barad, 2007; Braidotti, 2013; Fullagar et al., 2019), and has enabled the creation of distinctions between “modern” (read “civilised”) and “traditional” (read “primitive”) bodies and ways of being-in-the-world (Denowski and Viveiros de Castro, 2014). Yet, when critically exploring issues of embodiment, the influence of the built environment on well-being, climate transitions and/or the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic such distinctions start to become problematic, as eloquently argued in the last three decades by feminist, post-human, new-materialist and political ecological –among others– debates and propositions. Giving continuity to an ongoing dialogue started in 2018 between scholars and activists from Latin America and Europe (see Donato, Tonelli, Galak, 2019) this seminar explored how the interrelated domains of health, physical activity, and education can look like from perspectives that de-stabilise established ontological boundaries between nature, culture, the body, and their relationship. It did so through a dialogue between Alessandro Bortolotti, Simone Fullagar, Bruno Mora, Niamh Ni Shuilleabhain, four scholars from Australia, Italy, United Kingdom and Uruguay. The online event took place as the first of a two-parts online seminar series on Re-assembling the nature-culture-body nexus: practices and epistemologies

Outsiders in Sport
No full textGirls, women and gender diverse people continue to lag behind when it comes to sport participation at all ages. This is especially true for those with a disability, or from CALD or low socioeconomic backgrounds. This poetry collection responds creatively to the question of disengagement in sport, through presenting poetry created by diverse women and non-binary people who were disengaged from sport.Produced by Everybody NOW the poems in this book were developed through workshops held on Griffith University campus with a professional poet facilitator and musician. Documentation of the day is included in the images above.This creative research output is an edited collection of poems. The book is edited by Dr Adele Pavlidis and Prof Simone Fullagar, and features poems by Adele Pavlidis, Simone Fullagar, Millie Kennelly, Ali Chauvenet, AJ, Erin Nichols, Jasper Saint-Claire, Noeleen Ginnanne, Sam Lily, Stephanie Green, Jacki Marie and Tayna Cowan.The book also contains original artwork by two of the poets, AJ and Jacki Marie.ISBN: 9781922361738</p
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
Towards a feminist politics of desire: Caring, resisting, and becoming. Review of the book Feminism and vital politics of depression and recovery (Simone Fullagar, Wendy O’Brien & Adele Pavlidis, 2019)
Full text linkBiomedical imaginaries on mental disorders are generally based on linear structures of causal connections focused on the individual agency of recovery. Those usually don't include the critical contributions by feminist researchers that have largely proposed different connections between women's social and emotional lives, mental health diagnosis and forms of gender discrimination, inequality, violence and abuse suffered by women in both public and private spheres (Appignanesi, 2011; Chandler, 2016; McDermott & Roen, 2016; Stone & Kokanovic, 2016; Stoppard, 2000; Ussher, 1991; Wiener, 2005 in Fullagar, O'Brien & Pavlidis, 2019). Feminism and vital politics of depression and recovery by Simone Fullagar, Wendy O'Brien and Adele Pavlidis (2019) is an invitation to reconfigure discourses, imaginaries and narratives on mental health from a new materialist approach, by moving beyond individual problems to collective experiences that shape a feminist ethos. The authors invite readers "to engage with this book as a co-constituted process of reading-writing through visceral connections guts, brains, hearts, skin, words, images, surfaces to explore how gender matters" (Fullagar, O'Brien & Pavlidis, 2019, p. 1)
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Negotiating the neurochemical self: Anti-depressant consumption in women's recovery from depression
No full texta b s t r a c t Anti-depressant treatment can be viewed as an exercise of biopower that is articulated through policies and practices aimed at the reduction of depression, population healthcare costs and effects on labour force productivity. Drawing upon a feminist governmentality perspective, this article examines the discourses that shaped women's experiences of antidepressant medication in an Australian qualitative study on recovery from depression. The majority of women had been prescribed anti-depressants to treat a chemical imbalance in the brain, manage symptoms and restore normal functioning. One-third of participants identifi ed anti-depressants as helpful in their recovery, while two-thirds were either highly ambivalent about, or critical of, medication as a solution to depression. Thirty-one women who identifi ed the 'positive' benefi ts of anti-depressants actively constituted themselves as biomedical consumers seeking to redress a chemical imbalance. The problem of depression, the emergence of molecular science and the push for pharmacological solutions are contributing to the discursive formation of new subject positions -such as the neurochemically defi cient self. Three themes were identifi ed in relation to medication use, namely restoring normality, signifying recovery success and control/uncertainty. Anti-depressant medication offered women a normalized pathway to successful recovery that stood in stark contrast to the biologically defi cient and morally failing self. These women's stories importantly reveal the gender relations and paradoxes arising from biopolitical technologies that shape selfhood for women in advanced liberal societies
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
