Kenneth White : and the Poetics of Energy : revitalization, writing, world
No full textLe poète, essayiste et prosateur franco-écossais Kenneth White élabore depuis le début des années 1960 une œuvre singulière qui est aujourd'hui reconnue comme l'une des plus cohérentes de la post-modernité. Parce qu'il considère que la culture occidentale est prise dans une impasse, il cherche dans un contact rapproché avec la terre l'issue au malaise dans la civilisation. Selon une approche résolument nietzschéenne, il congédie toute forme d'arrière-monde pour embrasser l'ici-bas, s'attache à démanteler l'axe vertical sur lequel l'Occident s'est construit et tente de redynamiser le séjour de l'homme sur terre. Conjointement à ce travail d'épure l'auteur mène une réflexion sur le verbe et s'efforce de « trouver le langage inconnu auquel l'esprit aspire ». En marge de tout lettrisme, en rupture avec une littérature purement littéraire, l'écriture whitienne se veut à la fois simple et souple, puissante et vivifiante. Pour ce faire l'auteur ne puise pas son inspiration dans la mythologie mais il se met à l'écoute de la terre, de ses « pulsions telluriques », de ses « enveloppes thermodynamiques » et autres « vibrations » et « longueurs d'onde », en somme avec ce que Caillois, avant lui, avait nommé « l'écriture permanente du monde ». Bien qu'il mène un travail de sape, White ne fait pas table rase et salue sur son chemin un grand nombre de compagnons. Il pousse d'ailleurs cette logique jusqu'à son comble et insiste sur le fait que l'œuvre personnelle a fait son temps et qu'elle se doit d'ouvrir sur une œuvre collective. En fondant l'Institut international de géopoétique en 1989 puis en l'archipélisant en 1994, il a mis l'accent sur la vocation sociale de la littérature, sur le rôle qu'elle peut et doit jouer au sein de nos sociétés. Entre avant-garde et arrière-garde, politique et esthétique, la géopoétique emprunte la voie du milieu et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives, elle trace les lignes d'un monde en émergence que son fondateur a résolument placé sous le signe de l'énergie.Since the 1960's Scotto-French poet, essayist and prose-writer Kenneth White has been elaborating an idiosyncratic work which is today recognised as one of the most coherent of post-modernity. Because he believes that western culture has reached a point of no return, he sees the earth as the only solution to our civilization's discontents. Resolutely nietzschean in his approach, he dismisses transcendence to embrace immanence, deconstructs the vertical axis on which the western world had built itself and endeavours to revitalize the journey of man on earth. Together with this process of purge he reflects on the Word and tries to find the unknown language our mind longs to master. Against literature that is too literary, White's writing is simple and supple, powerful and vivifying. The author does not draw his inspiration from mythology but gets in tune with the earth, with its telluric forces, its thermodynamic envelopes, its vibrations and wavelengths, with what Caillois, before him, called the “permanent writing of the world”. Despite this undermining White does not wipe the slate clean and meets a large number of fellow writers and thinkers on his way. As a matter of fact he pushes this logic to its end and insists on the fact that one should no longer think in terms of personal work and should strive to create a collective one. By founding the International Institute for Geopoetics in 1989 and by “archipelising” it in 1994, he clearly stressed the social vocation of literature. Between avant-garde and rearguard, politics and aesthetics, geopoetics opens new perspectives and traces the outline of a highly energetic world
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

Narrative evolution and polyphony in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer
No full textGeoffrey Chaucer, grand traducteur, rhétoricien et poète courtois, fut longtemps considéré par la critique comme le père de la poésie anglaise. Or, un tel positionnement a non seulement tendance à occulter tout un pan de l'histoire de la littérature anglo-saxonne, mais également à mettre de côté les spécificités mêmes du style de Chaucer. Le but de cette étude est ainsi de démontrer que sa contribution à l'histoire de la littérature est bien plus importante qu'on ne le pensait. Car en décidant d'écrire en moyen-anglais à une époque où l'hégémonie du latin et du vieux-français était incontestée (en particulier à la cour d'Edouard III et de Richard II), Chaucer s'inscrivit dans un mouvement intellectuel visant à rendre aux vernaculaires européens le prestige nécessaire à une véritable production culturelle ayant permit l'émergence du genre romanesque. Ainsi, en assimilant successivement les caractéristiques de la poésie de Chrétien de Troyes, Guillaume de Lorris et Jean de Meun, Chaucer redonna à la poésie anglaise ses lettres de noblesse. Mais ce ne fut qu'après sa découverte de la Divina Commedia qu'il prit conscience du potentiel de la littérature : Dante lui permit, en effet, de libérer son art dialogique et d'ainsi donner à sa poésie une dimension polyphonique de premier ordre. De fait, si Chaucer ne peut être considéré comme le père de la poésie anglaise, il est en revanche le père de la prose anglaise et l'un des précurseurs de ce que Mikhaïl Bakhtine nomme le roman polyphonique.Geoffrey Chaucer, translator, rhetorician and courtly poet, has long been considered by the critics as the father of English poetry. However, this notion not only tends to forget a huge part of the history of Anglo-Saxon literature, but also to ignore the specificities of Chaucer's style. The purpose of this thesis is accordingly to try to demonstrate that his contribution to the history of literature is much more important than we had previously imagined. Indeed, Chaucer's decision to write in Middle-English, in a time when the hegemony of Latin and Old-French was undisputed (especially at the court of Edward III and Richard II), was consistent with an intellectual movement that was trying to give back to European vernaculars the prestige necessary to a genuine cultural production, which eventually led to the emergence of romance and of the modern novel. The assimilation of the specificities of the poetry of Chrétien de Troyes, Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun thus allowed Chaucer to give back to English poetry some of its respectability. Nonetheless, it was his discovery of the Divina Commedia that made him aware of the true potential of literature: Dante thus allowed him to free the dialogism of his creations and to give his poetry a first-rate polyphonic dimension. As a result, if Chaucer cannot be thought of as the father of English poetry, he is however the father of English prose and one of the main artisans of what Mikhail Bakhtin called the polyphonic novel
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
