Tagging of Biomedical Articles on CiteULike: A Comparison of User, Author and Professional Indexing
Get PDFThis paper examines the context of online indexing from the viewpoint of three different groups: users, authors, and professional indexers. User tags, author keywords and descriptors were collected from academic journal articles, which were both indexed in Pubmed and tagged on CiteULike, and analysed. Descriptive statistics, informetric measures, and thesaural term comparison shows that there are important differences in the use of keywords between the three groups in addition to similarities which can be used to enhance support for search and browse. While tags and author keywords were found that matched descriptors exactly, other terms which did not match but provided important expansion to the indexing lexicon were found. These additional terms could be used to enhance support for searching and browsing in article databases as well as to provide invaluable data for entry vocabulary and emergent terminology for regular updates to indexing systems. Additionally, the study suggests that tags support organisation by association to task, projects and subject while making important connections to traditional systems which classify into subject categories

Breaking into the Boundaries of World Literature: Tahar Ben Jelloun's "L'enfant de sable"
No full textIl presente articolo propone una lettura in prospettiva World Literature del primo romanzo di successo dell’autore franco-marocchino Tahar Ben Jelloun, "L’enfant de sable" (1985). Il ricorso a tale approccio teorico, che si avvale delle intuizioni di Bourdieu e di alcuni studi di Casanova e Damrosch, permette di illustrare in che misura il successo di un lavoro letterario sia il prodotto di intersezioni tra il suo valore estetico e le dinamiche socioeconomiche che regolano il mercato editoriale. Nell’opera di Ben Jelloun, collocata come il suo autore sulla soglia tra due mondi, confluiscono elementi di due sistemi letterari e culturali: quello occidentale e quello arabo-persiano. Ne "L’enfant de sable" è riscontrabile un’ibridità su più livelli – narratologico, intertestuale e linguistico – che può essere interpretata, nel quadro teorico della World Literature, come una strategia di negoziazione tra due culture per incontrare il favore di un pubblico più ampio. Dalla lettura del romanzo in questa prospettiva emergono ambiguità e criticità riguardanti l’opera di Ben Jelloun: da un lato l’accusa di orientalismo forzato per vendere un prodotto conforme alle aspettative dell’Occidente sul Mondo Arabo, dall’altro l’apprezzamento per un’opera in cui l’autore combina magistralmente due culture in una costruzione linguistica e narratologica di innegabile valore estetico, che ha il merito di aprire una finestra di contatto tra due culture.The essay aims to analyze the novel "L’enfant de sable" (1985) – the first bestseller by the French-Moroccan author Tahar Ben Jelloun – in the perspective of World Literature as underpinned by the theories of David Damrosch and Pascale Casanova. This theoretical approach illustrates to what extent the success of a literary work is the product of the intersection between its aesthetic value and the socio-economic dynamics governing the literary market. A global writer on the threshold of two worlds, Ben Jelloun concocts a hybrid work in which Persian-Arabic literary and cultural traditions melt together with their Western counterparts. In particular, L’enfant de sable is characterized by a multilayered hybridity for a strategy of negotiation between the two cultures is employed at many levels: narratological, intertextual and linguistic. This strategy of hybridity/negotiation may be deemed as a mere compromise to reach a larger readership. Indeed, analyzing the novel within this theoretical framework highlights its ambiguities: remarkably, the author has been accused of commodifying his own culture to create a product palatable to the Euro-American market and compliant with Westerners’ expectations about the Arabic world – the topic appealing to French readers being the evidence of it. Yet, this reading also points out the novel’s undeniable aesthetic value: Ben Jelloun succeeds in merging two traditions artfully while opening a window into recondite aspects of Moroccan culture
The Christian Right and US Foreign Policy in the Twenty-first Century
Get PDFThe thesis discusses the role of the Christian Right in the US foreign policy decision making process. The research revealed that the Christian Right has long been fascinated with some international issues in general and US foreign policy in particular. The Christian Right’s interest in international issues increased markedly during years of the George W. Bush presidency. It successfully widened its activities from domestic social conservative issues to foreign policy issues by participating in, articulating and lobbying for its religious version of American foreign policy. In assessing the role of the Christian Right in US foreign policy making, this dissertation examines three aspects of US foreign policy, namely Israel, international religious freedom and global humanitarianism. Based on these aspects, the Christian Right is seen as skilled in framing and defining issues. The Christian Right seems effective in selecting and prioritizing international issues that have a reasonable chance of being selected by foreign policy decision makers, especially in Congress. Moreover, the Christian Right has shown its maturity in seeking engagement and cooperation with other organizations, secular and religious, in order to advance its international goals. Finally, in pursuing and conveying its international agenda, the Christian Right has adopted a more moderate and less overtly religious approach. Instead of using its traditional religious rhetoric, the Christian Right has successfully projected its foreign policy preferences into the conventional realist discourse of American foreign policy that is largely based on the objective of national interest and national security. Nevertheless, this study does not, in any way, conclude that the Christian Right was able to influence or determine the direction of US foreign policy and its outcomes; however, it does suggest that the Christian Right did contribute and have an impact on the formulation of some US foreign policy. As such, the research contends that the role of the Christian Right is similar to other interest group lobbies and that its perceived influence on US foreign policy should not be exaggerated. Finally, the research suggests that the emergence of the Christian Right as an actor in asserting its global agenda through US foreign policy can possibly provide an example of how religious beliefs and values can become a potential source of “soft power”. Together with the “climate of opinion” of the American public during the Bush administration, the “soft power” at domestic level could serve as a valuable new explanatory variable in understanding how the US foreign policy was formulated in the early 21st century
Genève, La Bibliothèque juive « Gérard Nordmann », HEB 0002 : Astronomical and geographical work
No full textThis manuscript is a copy of only one of six extant manuscript exemplars and an old print of this work (1743) worldwide. Its author is the famous Bohemian rabbi, astronomer and mathematician R. David ben Salomon Gans (1541-1613). In his 1974 monograph about David Gans, André Neher referred to this copy as the Manuscrit de Genève. A colophon in the manuscript gives the date as 1613, but a current study on the history of the transmission of this work suggests that it is an 18th century copy.Online Since: 2018-06-1
