A Leap of Faith: TWAIL Meets Caribbean Queer Rights Jurisprudence—Intersections with International Human Rights Law
Full text linkThis article examines the legal status of queer rights in Caribbean jurisprudence. It conducts an analysis of Caribbean queer rights case law, in order to arrive at an understanding of the extent and dynamics of constitutional protection for these rights. It then uses the revelations from this analysis to determine how Caribbean queer rights jurisprudence has intersected with international human rights norms, values and rules. Finally, the article applies the TWAIL methodological approach to international law to argue that the Caribbean queer rights jurisprudence has not so far reflected the counter-hegemonic, resistance, anti-imperialist discourse that TWAIL champions, in spite of the socio-cultural and political Caribbean realities of homophobia. This homophobia mirrors some of the key conceptual notions and impulses of the TWAIL critique of international human rights law. I further argue that TWAIL, in spite of a number of its concerns about some of the norms and values found in international human rights law, including those related to gay rights, can nevertheless accommodate equality-seeking queer rights/human rights, if the core assumption is that queer rights ultimately are about the rule of law and democracy. I conclude that even though Caribbean courts are at an infancy in their reach to protect queer rights on the premise of international human rights norms, they have nevertheless certainly taken a leap of faith on an equality- preserving trajectory.
Dans le présent article, nous examinons le statut juridique des droits des personnes gaies dans la jurisprudence des pays des Caraïbes. Nous analysons cette jurisprudence afin de comprendre l’étendue et la dynamique de la protection constitutionnelle de ces droits dans ces pays. Nous utilisons ensuite les données tirées de cette analyse pour examiner les rapports entre cette jurisprudence et les normes, valeurs et règles internationales en matière de droits de la personne. Enfin, nous appliquons l’approche méthodologique utilisée par le mouvement TWAIL (Third World Approaches to International Law) pour soutenir que la jurisprudence relative aux droits des personnes gaies dans les pays des Caraïbes n’a pas jusqu’ici tenu compte du discours anti-hégémonique et anti-impérialiste que le mouvement TWAIL défend, malgré les réalités socioculturelles et politiques de l’homophobie qui existe dans les Caraïbes. Cette homophobie reflète certaines des principales notions au cœur de la critique du droit international en matière de droits de l’homme effectuée par TWAIL. Je soutiens en outre que TWAIL, malgré plusieurs de ses préoccupations au sujet de certaines normes et valeurs du droit international en matière de droits de la personne, y compris celles liées aux droits des personnes gaies, peut néanmoins accommoder les droits de ces personnes qui revendiquent l’égalité, si l’hypothèse de base est que leurs droits reviennent en fin de compte à une question de primauté du droit et de démocratie. Je conclus que même si les tribunaux dans les pays des Caraïbes n’en sont qu’à leurs premiers pas dans la protection des droits des personnes gaies sur la base des normes internationales des droits de la personne, ils ont néanmoins fait un acte de foi en faveur de la préservation de l’égalité

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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
