Disciplining an Unruly Field: Terrorism Experts and Theories of Scientific/Intellectual Production
Qualitative Sociology, 2011Co-Authors: Lisa StampnitzkyAbstract:“Terrorism” has proved to be a highly problematic object of expertise. Terrorism studies fails to conform to the most common sociological notions of what a field of Intellectual Production ought to look like, and has been described by participants and observers alike as a failure. Yet the study of terrorism is a booming field, whether measured in terms of funding, publications, or numbers of aspiring experts. This paper aims to explain, first, the disjuncture between terrorism studies in practice and the sociological literature on fields of Intellectual Production, and, second, the reasons for experts’ “rhetoric of failure” about their field. I suggest that terrorism studies, rather than conforming to the notion of an ideal-typical profession, discipline, or bounded “Intellectual field,” instead represents an interstitial space of knowledge Production. I further argue that the “rhetoric of failure” can be understood as a strategy through which terrorism researchers mobilize sociological theories of scientific/cultural fields as both an interpretive resource in their attempts to make sense of the apparent oddness of their field and their situation, and as schemas, or models, in their attempts to reshape the field. I conclude that sociologists ought to expand our vision to incorporate the many arenas of expertise that occupy interstitial spaces, moving and travelling between multiple fields.

Does IP Need IP - Accommodating Intellectual Production outside the Intellectual Property Paradigm
Cardozo Law Review, 2010Co-Authors: Rochelle Cooper DreyfussAbstract:Arguments for strong Intellectual property protection proceed on the assumption that exclusive rights are necessary to generate the incentives that encourage Intellectual Production. However, recent events suggest that that this assumption is questionable. Many creative endeavors are flourishing without strong Intellectual property protection. Examples include fashion, stand-up comedy, magic, cuisine, and software (consider Linux, Apache, Firefox). Academic research has long been conducted under a sharing regime, and even after the Bayh-Dole Act permitted universities to claim patent rights in faculty inventions, the Mertonian norm of communalism continues to exert a strong influence over academic practices. And as Eric von Hippel has amply demonstrated, users generate and share the fruits of their creativity in contexts as varied as extreme sports, surgery, library science, and commercial high-tech manufacturing. Now that the existence of these robust forms of Production has been recognized, it is tempting to argue that traditional Intellectual property rights should be abolished. At the same time, however, there may be limits to creative Production outside the Intellectual property paradigm. Ostensibly open systems are sometimes functionally dependent on copyright, patent, trademark, or trade secrecy law. The operation of these systems can also be highly contingent – sometimes on the innovative industry at issue or the technological infrastructure supporting it; sometimes on the sensibilities of particular individuals. Much of the theoretical work treats the education of creative workers as exogenous to the problem of innovation, but the calculus can vary once the need to motivate the acquisition of human capital is taken into account. There are also normative problems: Open innovation may be nonoptimal, it may lead to undesirable strategies for maintaining a competitive advantage, and it can be exploitative of knowledge workers. This paper therefore starts from the proposition that Intellectual property rights will not soon disappear. It is intended to contribute to a new conversation on how Intellectual property law ought to change in order to accommodate and sustain what Mario Biagioli has termed IP without IP (Intellectual Production without Intellectual Property).

The fruits of Intellectual Production: economic and scientific specialisation among OECD countries
2005Co-Authors: Keld Laursen, Ammon SalterAbstract:This paper brings together data from 17 OECD countries on scientific publications, patents and Production, to explore the relationship between scientific and economic specialisation for 17 manufacturing industries. Since Marx, there has been a fundamental debate in economics about the link between science and the economic system. Marx argued that the needs of Production shape scientific developments and that science has become a factor of Production, whereas Polanyi argued that developments in science are largely independent of the economic sphere. Using a panel data model and econometric estimations at the industry level, the paper derives some hypotheses from the two positions and finds that, while the overall evidence on the link between national Production and scientific specialisation is mixed, it is important to have high levels of relevant to-the-industry scientific strength per capita in order to be specialised in science-based industries.

The Fruits of Intellectual Production: Economic and scientific specialisation among OECD countries
2002Co-Authors: Keld Laursen, Ammon SalterAbstract:This paper brings together data from 14 OECD countries on scientific publications, patents and Production specialisation to explore the relationship between economic and Production specialisation for 17 manufacturing sectors. Since Marx, there has been a fundamental debate in economics about the link between science and the economic system. Marx argued that the developments in the science system are strongly influenced by changes in the economic sphere, whereas Polanyi argued that developments in science are largely independent of economic sphere. Using a panel data model and econometric estimations at the sectoral-level, the paper assesses the two positions and finds considerable support for Marx’s position, that is, that scientific and Production specialisation are, often, tightly linked.

Intellectual Production of the professors from faculty of education ufrgs
Brazilian Journal of Information Science: Research Trends, 2013Co-Authors: Ana Gabriela Clipes FerreiraAbstract:This article aims to approach the Intellectual Production of the Professors from the Faculty of Education at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (FACED/UFRGS). This study is about a quantitative traits with qualitative analyzes using mixed methods. Through the Common Command Language (CCL) command at the software Aleph, it was collected the Productions deposited from 2007 to 2010 and it was confronted with the data of the 2010 Census of Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq). The type of document on which the FACED departments publish more were the papers presented in annals of international events, followed by chapters of books and articles in national journals indexed. Concluded that although constrained, the method used enables the analysis of productivity of diversified documents, which would not be possible in a database collection.

Changing women in a changing Europe: Is ‘difference’ the future for feminism?
Women's Studies International Forum, 1994Co-Authors: Christine DelphyAbstract:Abstract There are elements, in different contemporary feminist writings, that indicate a tendency to ground women's rights on their “difference.” This is not new, but what is new is the implicit claim that women should retain all the parental rights over children. This raises the question of the exclusion of half humankind from the care for the young of the species, but also that of the undue power of all adults over all children. This trend toward a new “mothers' right” is examined in three areas of feminist Intellectual Production: attitudes toward new reproductive technologies, reconstructions of human evolution, and the tendency to glorify motherhood as “sacred bond.”
