This paper argues that the emergence of small peasant proprietorship in China was the resuht of a particular historical conjuncture, the outcome of peasant struggles for land rights and ruling class political and economic interests. Beginning with a brief look at the early history of agriculture in China the focus of the essay is on two junctures, the Sixth century and the Seventeenth century. The essay argues that Chinese economy and society was not always based on the small holder and that the demise of the manorial economy occurred only in the seventeenth century. By a close comparison of two Chi¬ nese texts on agronomy, one from the sixth century and the other from the seventeenth century, the essay illustrates how changing agricultural techniques were integral to sustaining small peasant property from the Seventeenth century onwards.Cet article démontre que l'émergence de la petite propriété paysanne en Chine tient à une conjoncture historique particulière, qui résulte des luttes paysannes autour des droits fonciers et des intérêts économiques et politiques de la classe dirigeante. Après un bref panorama rétrospectif des débuts de l'agriculture chinoise, deux moments-clés, le VIe siècle et le XVIIe siècle, signalent que l'économie et la société chinoises n'ont pas toujours été fondées sur la petite propriété, et que l'économie manoriale ne s'est effondrée qu'au XVIIe siècle. La comparaison détaillée de deux textes agronomiques chinois du VIe siècle, l'autre du XVIIe siècle, montre à quel point la modification des techniques agricoles a joué un rôle essentiel dans le développement d'une petite propriété paysanne viable à partir du XVIIe siècle.Mazumdar Sucheta.

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
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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
Get PDFThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Thursday Murder Club: Launching a megabrand author - a publishing case study
Get PDFIn 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author
Creating Self-Sufficient Learners: Applying the Science of Self-Control and Delayed Gratification to Academic Management
No full textLearning requires the management of two key ideas: content and intent. Students with strong Executive Function skills can intuitively understand the teacher’s intent and task directionality when managing novel content. As a result, they are better at predicting why and how this new learning will impact their performance in the future. However, students with a variety of learning disabilities are unable to manage goals, identify and isolate low relevance details from the main ideas, and develop self-management tools.
Though educators often employ the technique of delayed gratification, which requires an individual to suppress the urge for immediate rewards in favor of long-term benefits, students with learning disabilities cannot stay focused or motivated when the content does not seem to provide an instantaneous advantage. Thus, in order to improve their academic management, students need to be explicitly taught and given opportunities to develop their Executive Functions. This powerful method will allow them hone their academic abilities, showing them how to better learn, study, organize, prioritize, review, and actively participate in class.
Based on current neuroscience research, this presentation will address the development of the prefrontal cortex, which acts as the framework to understand the relationship between Executive Functions and self-regulation. Sucheta will also cover learning techniques for students to organize, plan ahead, and keep records of their most successful study strategies. Finally, she will discuss specific methods where students can employ the process of delayed gratification in order to cultivate a joy of learning
