L'empathie narrative dans Allah n'est pas obligé d'Ahmadou Kourouma : les oraisons funèbres de Birahima
Full text linkPour comprendre comment la lecture favorise l’empathie, on présuppose, dans un premier temps, un ensemble de techniques narratives qui contribuent aux expériences empathiques. Il s’agit notamment de certains traits langagiers aux niveaux local et global en relation avec l’apparition de l’empathie : narration à la première personne, représentation intérieure de la conscience et des états d’âme des personnages, choix de certains genres discursifs. Toutefois, la relation entre procédés empathiques et empathie narrative reste encore à prouver. Il convient donc de prendre aussi en considération, dans un deuxième temps, le processus de lecture, l’intersubjectivité entre le lecteur et l’auteur, ainsi que la tendance chez les auteurs postcoloniaux à créer des personnages-ponts (bridge characters) universels ayant pour fonction de maximiser la chance du déclenchement de l’empathie chez le lecteur. To understand how reading promotes empathy, we first assume a set of narrative techniques that contribute to empathetic experiences. These include certain linguistic features at the local and global level in relation to the emergence of empathy: the first person narrative, the representation of the consciousness and of the characters’ moods, the choice of certain discursive genres. However, the relationship between empathetic processes and narrative empathy remains to be proven. It is therefore also appropriate to take into consideration, secondly, the reading process, the intersubjectivity between the reader and the author and the tendency among postcolonial authors to create universal bridge characters whose aim is to maximize the chance of triggering empathy in the reader
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
La représentation littéraire du trauma culturel : Un Juif pour l’exemple de Jacques Chessex
Full text linkUn Juif pour l’exemple de Jacques Chessex a trait non seulement aux défis de la représentation des traumatismes, mais à la dynamique des particularités génériques et discursives qui régissent les fables des événements traumatiques. L’approche énonciative et générique que nous adopterons dans cette contribution soutient l’idée que la notion de fable n’est liée à aucun genre spécifique, au contraire, on assiste à une mixité des genres fictionnels et factuels qui font alterner des modalités discursives variées susceptibles d’assurer la narratibilité d’histoires lugubres ancrées dans la mémoire collective. Nous postulons que l’étude de la mise en scène littéraire des traumatismes est propice à des sociolectures qui permettent aussi de comprendre la posture d’auteur : la présentation de soi de l’auteur dans le texte et le rapport existentiel que l’auteur entretient avec son texte.Jacques Chessex’s Un Juif pour l'exemple not only challenges the representation of trauma, but also the dynamics of generic and discursive particularities ruling fables of traumatic events. The enunciative and generic approach chosen in this contribution supports the idea that the notion of fable is not linked to any specific genre: it has to do with a combination of fictional and factual genres instead, alternating various discursive modalities susceptible to ensure the narratibility of dismal stories anchored in collective memory. The present paper contends that the study of the literary staging of trauma is conducive to sociolectures which also make it possible to understand the author's posture—the author's self-presentation in the text as well as the author's existential relationship with his text
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Récits d’Alceste : une approche (inter)textuelle
Full text linkThis paper is concerned with the relationship between different texts dealing with misanthropy; more precisely, it examines the manifestations of rewritten forms of the story of Molière’s Alceste, by revealing the moral ambiguities inscribed in this character. The selected prose — Rousseau’s Rêveries du promeneur solitaire, Gide’s L’Immoraliste, Huysmans’s A rebours, Maupassant’s Un cas de divorce, Kafka’s Le terrier and Le départ — is the focus of this (inter)textual analysis concentrating on text-formatting tools that exhibit special narrative features in the structure of the discussed texts. It is argued that different manifestations of misanthropy — represented by the Natural Man, the Artificial Man and the Absurd Man — are closely connected with textual characteristics.Key words: Intertextuality, misanthropy, the Natural Man, the Artificial Man, the Absurd Man
