Honour and honesty in XVIth century french short story with reference to Marguerite de Navarre, Bonaventure des Périers, Pierre Boaistuau
No full textLe jugement est partial quand on compare la nouvelle à d’autres genres littéraires notamment le roman et le conte. Les arguments avancés sont qu’elle est de forme courte et moins intéressante. Henri TROYAT affirme que : « Les contes de La Fosse commune sont des récréations. Je les ai écrits pour m’amuser. Et je me suis amusé ». Pourtant, au-delà du divertissement, l’honneur et l’honnêteté sont des sujets de prédilection pour la nouvelle française du XVIe siècle. Par conséquent, il est important de considérer les différentes conceptions historiques d’honneur et d’honnêteté parmi les membres de l’aristocratie, dans les avatars antérieurs et dans la trame narrative de la nouvelle pendant sa métamorphose. Les nouvelles évoquent des problèmes sérieux dans la psychologie des personnages, dans les valeurs morale et religieuse de la société. Il est également important de considérer les difficultés à cerner le sens des mots « honneur et honnêteté » ; car, il n’y a pas de corrélation entre leur sens et les comportements des personnages des œuvres de MARGUERITE DE NAVARRE, Bonaventure DES PÉRIERS et Pierre BOAISTUAU. Nous allons montrer l’écart entre l’idée que les hommes du XVIe siècle se faisaient de l’honneur et de l’honnêteté et la façon dont ils s’y conformaient. En outre, nous allons analyser les ambivalences de l’honneur et de l’honnêteté en tant que le vice et la vertu et de leur connotation discriminatoire selon le rang social et selon le genre.There is a bias judgment when we compare the novella (short story) to other literary genres such as the novel and the tale. Henri TROYAT states that, "The tales of La Fosse commune arerecreation. I wrote them for fun. And I had fun ". However, beyond entertainment, honor and honesty are subjects of preference for the sixteenth century French short stories. Therefore, it is important to consider the different historical conceptions of honor and honesty among the members of the aristocracy, in the earlier avatars and in the narrative framework of “novella” during its metamorphosis. Shorts stories evoke serious problems in the psychology of the characters and in the moral and religious values of the society. It is also important to consider the difficulties in defining the meaning of the words honor and honesty; for there is no correlation between their meaning and the behaviour of the characters in the works of MARGUERITE DE NAVARRE, Bonaventure DES PÉRIERS and Pierre BOAISTUAU. We will show the gap between the way men of the sixteenth century conceive honor and honesty and the way in which they conformed to them. In addition, we will analyze the ambivalences of honor and honesty as vice and virtue and their discriminatory connotation according to social rank and gender
Qualitative Assessment of Media Influence on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar
Get PDFThis qualitative study explores the impact of media criticism on the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with a particular focus on the French context. While Qatar, as the host country, is already at the center of debates, no contemporary edition of the global tournament has sparked as much criticism and controversy, in addition to concerns related to the organization of the event.Our analysis is distinguished by combining an in-depth study of the content of French-language print media corpora with descriptive statistical treatments aimed at quantifying television audiences for matches involving the French national team during the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. To achieve this, we selected five newspaper articles for a content analysis and compared the television audiences of seven matches from the 2018 World Cup with those of seven matches from the 2022 World Cup.The results of the first study identified seven main themes that prevailed in the content of French-language media, shedding light on the key topics of discussion surrounding the event.The second study revealed a significant increase in television audiences for the 2022 World Cup compared to the previous edition. These results indicate that despite numerous criticisms, the spectacle of the World Cup remains extremely popular. This research thus provides an in-depth insight into how media criticism influences the consumption of global football, highlighting the resilience and continued appeal of this major event
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
