Endless Displacement. Migration Governance, Containment Strategies and Segregation in Athens and Turin
No full textAt the intersection of Segregation, Urban and Refugees Studies, the paper suggests the appearance of new patterns of residential segregation following the turn in European migration governance. I therefore propose a connection between the “urban diaspora” described by Arbaci (2018) and the emergence of “displaceability” as the “silent foundation of contemporary urban citizenship” described by Yiftachel (2018). The first part of the article analyses the evolution of reception policies, analysing the development of Italian “widespread reception” and the parallel ongoing process of “campization” in Greece, namely the process through which, since the "Refugee Crisis", the differences between the reception, housing and detention of migrants have become more and more nuanced (Kourachanis 2018; Kreichauf 2018). The second, departing from an ethnographic perspective, focuses on the displacement policies enacted against asylum seekers and refugees in two southern European cities, namely in the case of the “Ex-Moi” in Turin, a squat in the periphery of Turin inhabited by more than 1000 refugees, and the case of Eleonas refugee camp in Athens, highlighting how the mobilisation of xenophobic and criminalising rhetoric against the migrant population can be instrumental in legitimising new regeneration processes.At the intersection of Segregation, Urban and Refugees Studies, the paper suggests the appearance of new patterns of residential segregation following the turn in European migration governance.

URBAN EXILES. MIGRATION GOVERNANCE, ASYLUM, DISPLACEMENT AND SEGREGATION IN ATHENS.
No full textThe research examines the appearance of new figures of segregation and displacement following the turn in European migration governance. As new governmental instruments of containment, dispersal and concentration combine, new geographies of mobility and immobility (Tazzioli & Garelli, 2018) gradually reshape the spaces of the ‘urban diaspora’ described by Arbaci (2018) and new figures of global and urban displacement intertwine, reshaping cities, mobilities, and subjectivities (Roast et al., 2022). The thesis proceeds by reconstructing Athens' urban development, focusing on the urbanization process and the role played by internal and international migrations, going on to trace the gradual emergence of its social geography and segregation patterns. The research then focuses on the transformation of ‘border regimes’, reception policies, and displacement strategies after the so-called “refugee crisis”, and their direct and indirect spatial productivity on the wider process of urban change, suggesting an ongoing transformation of previously established residential patterns. Thus, it is suggested that the ongoing process of ‘campization’ of reception systems (Kourachanis, 2018b; Kreichauf, 2018) and the emergence of a segmented integration regime, mirroring the stratification of the Greek ‘mobility regime’, has altered previous patterns of segregation, combining extra-urban confinement and the institutional segregation of a growing population within the camp system with the radicalization of both “vertical” and “horizontal” segregation in specific districts and specific segments of the housing market, the underground short-term rental market. Moreover, the housing careers of these ‘migrantized’ subjects (Tazzioli & De Genova, 2023) appear to be marked by continuous and repeated evictions, removals, and relocations, i.e. a continuous cycle of endless displacement (Sossich, 2024). The thesis finally moves onto the case of Eleonas camp, the last refugee camp in Athens, evicted in 2022 in order to pursue a major regeneration project, despite the strong opposition of its residents. Reconstructing the dynamic of this conflict and addressing the role of the ethnographer within a “field” shaped by structural violence, the reflection moves on the connection between the “right to the city” and the exclusion from “citizenship” implied in the process of extra-urban confinement and the ongoing transformation of asylum in a new form of urban exile. Finally, the Eleonas case highlights how the analysis of dispersal and displacement technologies and trajectories can help shed light on new forms of segregation, but also on the ways in which urban and migration governance combine to promote new forms of accumulation through displacement

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
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
