In the blink of an eye: A discussion and example of an experimental genre of ethnography for West Africa
No full textA discussion of some of the experimental genres used in ethnographic writing today, their origins, and which particular genres are most effective in relaying ethnographic data. This brief study is followed by an original ethnography based on anthropological fieldwork in Senegal, West Africa

Schools, Sports, and Coaching: “Here Are the Keys to the Gym. Make Sure No One Gets Hurt.”
Get PDFThis dissertation concentrates on the pedagogical decisions of sports coaches and the underlying sports science, in order to analyze larger contemporary concerns about youth athlete safety, coach preparation, and competition-participation conflict in youth sports. I address how disability, class, heteronormative gender roles, and race & ethnicity inflect larger debates on education, competition, and safety. I have three main research topics with subparts: 1) what are the underlying assumptions of the regulatory and education systems for youth athletics, coaching, the high-performance sports industry, and the way those states produce athlete vulnerabilities; 2) how do coed and mixed sports operate within sex segregated sporting models dominant in coaching and sports science and what pedagogic strategies can disrupt such models; and 3) in what ways can concentrating on public school extracurricular sports, instead of high-performance setting, and the everyday circulation patterns of students, faculty, and staff within aging public school infrastructure, uncover sports related school spaces disrupting normal administrative control. My dissertation is a multi-sited, multi-method project employing principally ethnographic participant-observation fieldwork, archival research, media analysis, and oral history methods. I have more than eight years of ethnographic fieldwork experience at my two primary field sites and shorter fieldwork stints at three sites in Japan. My analytic approach is an intersectional analysis (attentive to structural inequality) using critical race, queer, and crip studies interpretive strategies (centered on the body and heteronormative gendered expectations). My findings highlight the informal context of most coach education and the mismatch between coaches and the regulatory environments in which they exist. First, in high-performance sports, I document the Larry Nassar scandal and expand the case to indict win-at-all costs pedagogies as complicit with athlete abuse. Second, increasingly high school coaches are considered “walk-on” non-teacher coaches. The increase in non-certified teacher coaches follows an expansion of required online certificates in basic life-saving skills (CPR, First Aid, Mandated Court Reporter for Child Abuse, and others) but not coaching methods. My research found that standardized online coach education does not address the needs of young women, minority, LGBT, and disabled athletes thus leaving coaches ill-equipped to teach diverse students
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
