Immigration irrégulière et métiers du soin à la personne : rhétoriques d'exclusion et pratiques de tolérance
No full textIrregular immigration is a case in point of a form of mobility forbidden in principle and fought against by national policies and by supra-national institutions, like European Union. But irregular immigration continues to thrive. Regularization measures follow, and they appear an interesting procedure of redefinition of the rules on allowed mobility, adapting laws to social reality. In these operations of legalization of mobility a posteriori, Southern European countries, and Italy at the first place, have been at the forefront.
In Italy, the sector that has produced the biggest volume of regularizations is domestic sector and domestic care work. In this context, starting from research studies conducted along ten years (2003-2012), I present an analysis of interactions established at micro-social level between the native household, acting as employer, and immigrant careworker. Here, in the private space of the home, these interactions foster acceptance, welcome, mutual knowledge, mixed with exploitation, and at the end the decision to regularize the immigrant worker: a decision which, in Italian law, only the employer has the right to take. So, the mobility in principle forbidden by the State, becomes a practice socially authorized “from the bottom”, so as to obtain its legitimization.L’immigration irrégulière est le cas exemplaire d’une mobilité en principe interdite et de plus en plus contrastée par les politiques des Etats nationaux e par des institutions supranationales comme l’Union Européenne. Mais l’immigration irrégulière continue à se reproduire. Les mesures de régularisation sont alors une procédure intéressante de redéfinition des règles sur la mobilité admise, adaptant les normes sur le séjour à la réalité sociale. Dans ces opérations de légalisation a posteriori de la mobilité, les pays de l’Europe méridionale, l’Italie en tête, ont été en première ligne.
En Italie, le secteur qui a produit le plus grand volume de régularisations est le secteur domestique et de l’assistance aux personnes âgées.
Dans ce contexte général, sur la base d’enquêtes de terrain menées au cours d’une dizaine d’année (2003-2012), je présente une analyse des interactions qui se passent au niveau microsocial entre la famille-employeur et la travailleuse immigré. Ici, dans le cadre privé de la maison, ces interactions produisent acceptation, accueil, connaissance réciproque, mêlées à l’exploitation, et enfin la décision de régulariser : une décision qui, dans les lois de régularisation italiennes, seulement l’employeur a le droit de prendre. Ainsi, la mobilité en principe interdite par l’Etat, devienne une pratique que la société autorise « par le bas », jusqu’à obtenir sa légalisation

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
Wende-literature: German and Lithuanian novels of the late twentieth and the early twenty-first centuries.
No full textThe fall of the Berlin Wall, reunification of Germany and the restoration of independence of Lithuania marked a major turning point (Germ. Wende) at the end of the twentieth century and brought significant changes in all social spheres of the two countries. Reflections on these events and their consequences found their place in contemporary German and Lithuanian fiction. The present research focuses on the phenomenon of Wende in contemporary German and Lithuanian novels by K. Drawert, W. Hilbig, S. Parulskis, V. Papievis, R. Šerelytė, and A. H. Hünnigger, all of which are considered to be part of Wende-literature. The turning point brings not only a confrontation between the familiar and the alien orders, but also involves issues existing beyond any order. Therefore, as a borderline phenomenon, it highlights the unique experience of alienation whose reflection is a characteristic feature of the poetic concept of Wende-literature. The dissertation defines the concept of Wende-literature, investigates the poetic nature of German and Lithuanian Wende-novels and highlights their specific features to function as productive responses to Wende-experience. The analysis draws on B. Waldenfels’ phenomenology of the alienation, the concept of literary hermeneutics by A. Leskovec, a study of metaphoricity of radical alienation by T. Jentsch and other relevant research in Lithuania and abroad. The dissertation is a first attempt to carry out an extensive comparison of German and Lithuanian Wende-novels, identify their individual and universal features and capture their inherent poetics of alienation created by the compositional arrangement of characters and abundance of metaphorical descriptions
Contribution of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Country’S H-Index
No full textThe aim of this study is to examine the effect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development on country’s scientific ranking as measured by H-index. Moreover, this study applies ICT development sub-indices including ICT Use, ICT Access and ICT skill to find the distinct effect of these sub-indices on country’s H-index. To this purpose, required data for the panel of 14 Middle East countries over the period 1995 to 2009 is collected. Findings of the current study show that ICT development increases the H-index of the sample countries. The results also indicate that ICT Use and ICT Skill sub-indices positively contribute to higher H-index but the effect of ICT access on country’s H-index is not clear
