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
Bodied Curriculum: A Rhizomean Landscape of Possibility
Full text linkUndergoing a self-study using the method of currere (Pinar, 1976), I examine my own learning as holistic, embodied, and relational in the context of my mother’s garden. Specifically, I explore my mother’s garden as a site of relational learning that intersects with various classrooms that feature in my educational experiences. The garden and the classroom intersect with/in one curricular landscape, where self and other engage in an embodied process fostering connections and knowledges about each other and place. In bringing forth my narrative through currere, I engage in reflective and reflexive praxis through journal writing, poetry, meditation, and photographic collage. Using these forms of expression, I reflect upon my experiential learning process, analyze issues and concepts related to the body-in-movement, as well as focus on community connections and ecology-based learning as pedagogical praxis.MAS
Swimming Lessons—Developing a Water Pedagogy to Examine the Entangled, Material, and Intra-Active Enmeshments Between Water, Bodies, and Knowledges
No full textFaced with the reality of an impending global water crisis, the Swimming Lessons
project was developed as a research-creation event to encourage different ways of
thinking and learning in and about water, from a posthuman, new materialist theoretical
orientation. Taking the playful position that in order to think about water we should be
wet, an â Aquatic Lecture Seriesâ was held at the Hart House Pool on the University of
Toronto campus. By organizing an aquatic lecture series for students and faculty of the
University of Toronto, this thesis hopes to develop a water pedagogy, which I consider a
way of figuring a research-creation event that encourages a new way of thinking,
teaching, and learning water across disciplines, and underwater.

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
The Fantastical Body and the Vulnerability of Comfort: Alternative Models for Understanding Body Image
Full text linkArguing for new models of inquiry that interrogate body image from the perspective of intercorporeality, this article explores a research study conducted in a secondary school art class. Shifting analysis from the representation of body image to a tactile, sensuous, and experiential understanding of body image, I highlight the contradictions and tensions at work in understanding students’ experiences of body knowledge. The article poses possibilities for thinking further about how pedagogy might work with and against the contradictions of body image.Militant en faveur de nouveaux modèles d’enquête abordant l’image du corps selon la perspective de l’intercorporalité, cet article porte sur une recherche entreprise dans le contexte d’un cours d’art dans une école secondaire. En déplaçant l’analyse de la représentation de l’image corporelle vers une connaissance tactile, sensuelle et expérientielle de l’image du corps, l’auteure met en évidence les contradictions et les tensions qui accompagnent les expériences des élèves relatives aux connaissances du corps. L’article présente des suggestions pour pousser la réflexion sur les réactions possibles de la pédagogie aux contradictions en matière d’image corporelle
