All alike anyway: an Amazonian ethics of incommensurability
No full textUrarina people of Amazonian Peru rarely make explicit comparisons of a kind that would focus attention on differences between entities being compared, especially when this could imply, or facilitate, a value judgement. As such, the kinds of comparisons in which anthropologists routinely indulge – of groups and cultural practices, or forms of life – seem to be all but absent, as do interpersonal comparisons of the kind well-described by social comparison theory in psychology. This chapter examines the various forms of thinking and social practice to which an ethics of non-comparison gives rise, arguing that it is closely related to a general reluctance to assume or assert knowledge of the capacities of others: a kind of evaluative abstinence that ultimately amounts to an important way of showing respect. By recognising the singularity of persons and things – not only their incommensurability, but also interdependency – Urarina people avoid establishing relations of dominance and the imposition of hierarchy

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
