Abolir les frontières, toutes. Les Monstres des hommes (BnF fr. 15106)
No full textInternational audiencehe only manuscript of the Monstres des hommes is preserved in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF fr. 15106 ). The anonymous author, who writes in Picard, wrote at the very end of the 13th century. His work is presented as a translation of the chapter on monsters in De Natura Rerum by Thomas de Cantimpré, which takes up the catalogue of monsters of the East inherited from ancient tradition, such as Pliny's Histoire naturelle, and transmitted in particular by Jacques de Vitry . However, the reader is obliged to quickly recognize that the subject is significantly amplified and extrapolated, each monster being the springboard and metaphorical support for a virulent political and social moralization that leads to the condemnation of the powerful. The author's style and the analogies he sets up testify to a consummate art of argumentation.We will see that this manuscript sets clear boundaries, be they geographical, social, genetic or linguistic, in order to better transgress them, this transgression being at the service of political and moral denunciation.L’unique manuscrit du Monstres des hommes est conservé à la Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF fr. 15106 ). L’auteur anonyme, qui rédige en picard, écrit à la toute fin du XIIIe siècle. Son ouvrage se présente comme la traduction du chapitre sur les monstres du De Natura Rerum de Thomas de Cantimpré qui reprend le catalogue des monstres de l’Orient hérité de la tradition antique comme l’Histoire naturelle de Pline, et transmis notamment par Jacques de Vitry . Pourtant le lecteur est bien obligé de reconnaître rapidement que le propos est significativement amplifié et extrapolé, chaque monstre étant le tremplin et le support métaphorique d’une moralisation politique et sociale virulente qui aboutit à la condamnation des puissants. Le style de l’auteur et les analogies qu’il met en place témoignent d’un art consommé de l’argumentation.Nous verrons que ce manuscrit pose des frontières nettes, qu’elles soient géographiques, sociales, génétiques ou linguistiques, pour mieux les transgresser, cette transgression se mettant au service de la dénonciation politique et morale
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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

koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
