Atiq Rahimi and The Symbolism of Emptiness In La Ballade du calame
No full textIn La Ballade du calame, emptiness is an obsessive theme, linked to the experience of exile, to the subjects of memory, recollections, identity, absence, wandering and nostalgia for a distant country. Atiq Rahimi is one of those writers who use their memory to bridge the existential and identity gaps. He turns the void into a perpetual back-and-forth between past and present, where he reincarnates, reinvents and traces himself in the narrative. Haunted by the desire for an infinite quest for his origins, he constructs a new identity in the incompleteness of writing. In La Ballade du calame, the empti-ness not only leads to an identity crisis for the subject, but also presents itself as the symbolic image of his distress and anguishing solitude. It is in this sense that writing, the Word, becomes the only means of possible reconciliation with the self. In the void, everything is transformed, being and things, time and space, linking the subject symbolically and abstractly to the absent Being, annihilated and uprootedLe vide se présente dans La Ballade du calame comme un thème obsessionnel, lié à l’expérience de l’exil, aux sujets de la mémoire, les sou-venirs, l’identité, l’absence, l’errance et la nostalgie d’un pays lointain. Atiq Rahimi fait partie des écrivains qui exercent leur mémoire à barrer l’état de manque d’ordre existentiel et identitaire. Il fait du vide l’espace d’un va-et-vient perpétuel entre le passé et le présent où il se réincarne, se réinvente et se trace dans le récit. Hanté par le désir d’une quête infinie de ses origines, il construit une nouvelle identité dans l’inachèvement de l’écriture. Dans La Ballade du calame, le vide entraîne non seulement la crise identitaire chez le sujet, mais il se présente comme l’image symbolique de son désarroi et de sa solitude angoissante. C’est dans ce sens que l’écriture, le Verbe deviennent le seul moyen d’une possible réconciliation avec soi. Dans le vide, tout se transforme, être et choses, temps et espaces, rattachant le sujet symboli-quement et de manière abstraite à l’Être absent, anéanti et déracin
Enjeux du silence dans Chanson douce de Leïla Slimani et Syngué sabour d'Atiq Rahimi
No full textSilence is one of the most recurring themes in literature. Taking on various forms and meanings, it asserts itself as a key element of literary discourse due to its ability to reveal complex realities that transcend language. Authors such as Albert Camus, Annie Ernaux, and Patrick Modiano have made unspoken words a powerful means of conveying human experiences that cannot be expressed through simple words. The works of Leïla Slimani and Atiq Rahimi belong to a literary tradition that grants silence a distinctive place. In both authors' writings, silence is often associated with concealed suffering and plays a fundamental role in exploring psychological and social tensions. Therefore, in this contribution, we will examine the various issues related to the writing of silence in Slimani and Rahimi's novels Chanson douce and Syngué Sabour.Le silence est l'une des thématiques les plus récurrentes de la littérature. Revêtant diverses formes et significations, il s'impose comme un élément clé du discours littéraire étant donné sa disposition à dévoiler des réalités complexes qui transcendent le langage. Des écrivains comme Albert Camus, Annie Ernaux ou Patrick Modiano ont fait des non-dits un moyen puissant pour traduire des expériences humaines qui ne peuvent pas être exprimées par de simples mots. Les oeuvres de Leïla Slimani et Atiq Rahimi s'inscrivent dans cette tradition littéraire qui accorde au silence une place particulière. Chez les deux auteurs, le silence est souvent lié à une souffrance dissimulée et joue un rôle fondamental dans l'exploration des tensions psychologiques et sociales. Nous oeuvrerons donc dans la présente contribution à examiner les différents enjeux relatifs à l'écriture du silence chez Slimani et Rahimi à travers leurs romans Chanson douce et Syngué Sabour
Graffiti as an object of interdisciplinary studies

Cet artreflète souvent des situations sociales difficiles, des crises politiques et se présente comme unenouvelle forme d’expression artistique soulevant des questions intellectuelles etphilosophiques d’une époque donnée. Dans cet article, nous mettons l’accent sur l’importancedu graffiti dans les recherches en sciences humaines et en littératureMany murals are born from a critical reflection of artists demonstrating theircultural and social resistance through different techniques. This modern art often reflectsdifficult social situations, political crises and presents itself as a new form of artisticexpression raising intellectual and philosophical questions of a given time. In this article, wefocus on the importance of graffiti in human sciences and literature research
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
