    Introduction à la métaphysique bergsonienne en Chine : échos philosophiques et moralisation de l’intuition

    No full text
    This article presents how Henri Bergson’s “An introduction to Metaphysics” (1903) was translated in Chinese between 1918 and 1921. Through a case study of three translations successively realized by Liu Shuya, Cai Yuanpei and Yang Zhengyu, the author sheds light on some difficulties in the translation of Western philosophy. By translating back these Chinese texts into French, he shows the linguistic and cultural discrepancy at stake. Nevertheless, instead of condemning the translators’ mistakes, he inquires for their reasons and consequences. Hence, one can note that those Chinese versions –that were produced without a full understanding of both the French language and Bergson’s works– gave way to a certain moralization of Bergson’s philosophy, and notably his notion of intuition. In fact, the cultural echoes of the words used moved the text towards new philosophical issues

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    The Gospel of Love by Tang Junyi and the conundrum of presenting it as a Chinese symposium

    No full text
    The Philosopher Tang Junyi is the writer of an understudied book entitled The Gospel of Love which displays his philosophy of love in the 1940s. Previous scholarship has often described this piece of work as a Chinese or a Confucian Symposium because of some resemblance with Plato's dialogue. However, the present paper challenges this reading and raises the issue what the reader does of a philosophical work when he considers it as a transcultural production or a book that fuses different intellectual traditions. By giving a peculiar attention to Tang's way of displaying his philosophy of love, I state that the Gospel of Love is "a Confucian book on love under multicultural garments." Though the book conveys elements from different traditions and merges them in a well-built philosophical tale, the author was not trying to produce global philosophy of love in dialogue with others: he was attempting to articulate a defense of the family in the context of the liberalization of unions and to foster a personal messianic agenda: love was just a gateway to selftransformation or self-transcendence

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    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
