Brandon Taylor. Collage : l’invention des avant-gardes
Get PDFL’histoire du collage de Brandon Taylor couvre presqu’un siècle depuis le proto-collage Le Rêve (1908) de Pablo Picasso jusqu’aux photomontages de Chieh-Jen Chen (2000). Ce proto-collage de Picasso n’est que l’usage d’une étiquette des magasins du Louvre comme support d’une scène évoquant Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe d’Edouard Manet. Par la suite vient l’émergence de ce que fut vraiment le collage dans le dialogue entre Georges Braque et Picasso, qui apparaîtrait, avec l’introduction de lettrages..

Trauma(s), desire, and animality in selected works of Brandon Taylor
No full textThis thesis undertakes an exploration of motifs of trauma, desire, and animality in selected works by American author Brandon Taylor. The study focuses on Taylor’s novel Real Life and selected short stories from his collection Filthy Animals. Specifically, the thesis draws on theorists like Christina Sharpe, Cathy Caruth, Jacques Lacan, and Derrida to explore issues of trauma, desire, and Taylor’s deployment of animal imagery as a technique for character development in these literary works. The thesis is structured in three chapters. The first chapter explores the relationship between time and trauma in the novel Real Life. The chapter shows how Wallace’s trauma prevents him from living in the present and forming meaningful relationships. The next chapter likewise explores trauma and desire in the short story “As Though That Were Love.” The chapter reveals that Hartjes’ mother’s demise is the fulcrum of the story and his trauma. The chapter also examines Taylor’s strategic usage of animals to comment on what constitutes love in the short story. The final chapter focuses on the short story “Filthy Animals,” highlighting the novel’s evocation of animal language and metaphor as a way of creating and developing characters as well as raising the animal question. The thesis contributes to the scholarship on animal studies, trauma studies, and black writing
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
