Middle Modernisms: Collecting and Measuring Nature in the Peruvian Amazon
No full textPeru came late to conservation. Neighboring states in South America created national parks as early as 1903, but it was not until the late 1960s that Peruvian bureaucrats began to feel pressure, both politically and ecologically, to set aside particular landscapes as distinct from development plans and modernization schemes. The general places to do so seemed obvious—one each in the three paradigmatic regions of parks was not clear. In order to decide this, a Kenyan wildlife consultant, Ian Grimwood, was invited by the elite Peruvian conservationist Felipe Benavides Barreda to provide expertise to the government courtesy of the British Ministry of Foreign Development. Grimwood\u27s report became a template for Peru\u27s rapid creation of conservation areas during the Cold War, which included the creation of seven national parks by 1988

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
Protecting Patagonia: Science, Conservation and the Pre-History of the Nature State on a South American Frontier, 1903-1934
No full textBetween 1903 and 1934, Argentina and Chile became two of the earliest countries in Latin America and the world to create national parks. Federal governments created these parks in the transnational cultural and ecological southern region of Patagonia, a place that still today holds the largest conservation areas in either nation. The landscape here is temperate, windswept and stark. Jagged and glaciated peaks, a southern extension of the Andean range, form a north to south spine that gives way to steppes and drylands to the east and thick forests and fjords to the west. The entire region, stretching southward from roughly the Río Biobío in Chile and the Río Colorado in Argentina to the shared island of Tierra del Fuego, is about three times the size of Italy (about 400,000 square miles) and today has fewer than two million inhabitants. The emergence of national parks in Patagonia is related to at least two factors: the growth of state institutions and the existence of frontier territories. State institutions included the emergence of scientific societies (funded in part by the state), the passage of federal laws and the development of governmental agencies to manage nature in place. Combined, these created the social and institutional infrastructure required to design, support and administer national parks. Importantly, despite the similar national contexts, the constitution of these state institutions reflected distinct national priorities
Llamas Are Having a Moment in the US, but They’ve Been Icons in South America for Millennia

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
