    Are there Local Differences in Support for Violent Radicalization? A Study on College Students in the Province of Quebec, Canada

    No full text
    Support for violent radicalization (VR) is a multidimensional phenomenon determined by individual, social, and contextual variables. However, how local contexts influence the configurations of risk and protective factors leading to the process of VR remains an open question. In line with a socioecological framework, this study aims to investigate local differences in support for VR and its associated risk factors (i.e., immigrant status, social adversity, depression, and collective identity) among college students in Quebec, a Canadian province with a variety of social and political contexts (i.e., Francophone Montreal, Quebec City, rural/suburban areas, and Anglophone communities). A total of 1765 college students (71% women; 73% aged between 16 and 21 years) completed an online survey. Mixed-effects models were implemented to test local differences in support for VR and its risk factors. Results showed that the association between social adversity (i.e., discrimination and exposure to violence) and support for VR varied by local context. Specifically, social adversity was a risk factor across all contexts but Quebec City. Although prevention programs may target common determinants of support for VR, they need to be tailored according to local realities, and in particular the level of social diversity and the relative prevalence of mainstream radical discourses

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Introduction

    No full text
    The objective of the session is to introduce the methodological approach that should frame the exchange between history and heritage. The session focuses on two notions, architectural history and heritage, both exposed to the challenge of a new interpretive perspective, that of the evolution of time and of its current acceleration. References to this interpretation are included in the work of French historian François Hartog, whose investigation into the development of what he defines as historia magistra, helps reach a common ground for a dialogue that acknowledges a pluralism of well-rooted regimes of historicity. Related to this notion is the concept of authenticity that is identified as one of the dimensions of heritage. My aim is to assess if writing on the history of architecture has truly identified other procedures and methods regarding the question of temporality and the related empowerment of heritage. One major concern is to clarify the role of the historians, who founded the legitimacy of the modern movement and subsequently challenged its legacy. Another focus is on the historiographic aspects of the creation of the concept of modernity and on how it was narrated

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “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

    No full text
    We 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

    La configuration de l’espace sensible dans le roman La reine de l’oubli de Lamia Berrada –Berca

    International audienceOur reflection focuses on the configuration of sensitive space in the novel La Reine de l'Oubli (La Cheminante, 2012) by the Franco-Moroccan writer Lamia Berrada-Berca. More particularly, we will focus on the way in which the central character of this novel perceives his space as intimately experienced and on the figurations through which he shows it. The text reflects the sensitive experience of a singular character. According to Lamia Berrada-Berca, this is a novel published in tribute to her mother, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Through an intimate story, she depicts a character in her daily struggle against the progressive deterioration of her memory. The story displays the efforts she makes, when she now lives only in her retirement home, to find herself, to recognize her present and to hang on the eruptive reminiscences of her past. It is about counting on the conditions of an interaction between a character and her sensitive environment: her place of life, the objects and traces of time that it's contains. As a result, there are so many revelators that allegorically configure the residual forms by which this character, affected by Alzheimer's disease, still manages to represent her universe.Notre réflexion porte sur la configuration de l’espace sensible dans le roman La reine de l’oubli (La Cheminante, 2012) de l’écrivaine franco-marocaine Lamia Berrada-Berca. Plus particulièrement, nous nous arrêterons sur la manière dont le personnage central de ce roman perçoit son espace en tant qu’intimement vécu et sur les figurations au travers desquelles il le donne à voir. Le texte traduit l’expérience sensible d’un personnage singulier. Selon Lamia Berrada-Berca elle-même, il s’agit d’un roman publié en hommage à sa mère, atteinte de la maladie d’Alzheimer. A travers un récit intime, elle met en scène un personnage dans sa lutte quotidienne contre la détérioration progressive de sa mémoire. Le récit témoigne des efforts qu’elle fournit, alors qu’elle ne vit plus que dans sa maison de retraite, pour se situer, reconnaitre son présent et pour s’accrocher aux réminiscences éruptives de son passé. Il s’agit de tabler sur les conditions d’une interaction entre un personnage avec son environnement sensible : son lieu de vie, les objets et les traces du temps qu’il renferme. Il en découle autant de révélateurs qui configurent, de manière allégorique, les formes résiduelles par lesquelles ce personnage, affecté par la maladie d’Alzheimer, parvient encore à représenter son univers
