Köttslöjd : Diffraktioner på temat nykarnism & ätna djur
No full textScholars within human animal studies (HAS) pin-points that animals are made absent when their bodies are transformed into meat. Carol Adams terms this the structure of the absent referent(2004). However, a recent nostalgia for meat – an new carnism – has appeared. Within this frame-work, being able to kill your own dinner is con-sidered noble and honest (Parry 2009). One could say that the aim is to make the absent referent present again. Following this line of thought, I cast light upon processes wherein the animality is not hidden but where, on the contrary, the food and even the beer are made fleshy. In this essay, I especially focus on two examples: the crafted ”pig beer” Malte, and the restaurant Omakase Kött-slöjd in Stockholm. My aim is to discuss and in-vestigate how new carnism is produced. Even more important though, is the seemingly banal question: do these movements succeed in bringing the animal and the animality back onto our dinner tables?Using post humanist perspectives, and a dif-fractive reading method influenced by Karen Barad, I draw the conclusion that the animality disappears in the process of killing, crafting and eating. The transformation of animal into crafting material, is vital in this disappearance act. In fact, I argue that, as soon as the body of an animal is transformed into a so called crafting material – the animal is once again made absent.</p
Destabiliserande mjölkflöden
No full textThis essay focuses on processes wherein human bodyfluids are materialized as foody and potentially edible. Influenced by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, I follow a milky rhizome (2015). This brings me to, among other things, breastmilk rings in China, breastmilk ice cream and to cows whose genes have been manipulated to produce breast milk. Scholars within critical animal studies pinpoint that animals are made absent when their bodies are transformed into edible matter. Carol J. Adams terms this the structure of the absent referent (2004, 2013). In this article however, I show that, in a similar way, the foodiness of human bodies is continuously made absent. Situations when humans appear as foody tend to generate feelings of disgust and repulsion. At the same time, I also argue that processes such as these can be interpreted in widely different ways depending on the (body and) context, and that the milky flows are considered most threatening when they are connected with – or emanate from – the bodies of Others.</p
Kokoligrafin

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
