Rêve américain, rêve d'Amérique à travers l'oeuvre cinématographique de Charlie Chaplin
No full textL image du Rêve Américain dans les films de Charlie Chaplin est essentiellement celle d un Rêve dévoyé. Aussi, l œuvre du cinéaste est-elle parfois perçue comme une attaque contre le dogme de l exception américaine . Mais l œuvre de Chaplin, loin d être révolutionnaire, s inscrit dans le discours d une Amérique protestataire, qu elle soit Progressiste ou qu elle fasse sienne l héritage d Emerson ou de Thoreau. Ce n est pas tant une démystification du Rêve Américain qu une relecture de celui-ci qui émerge de l œuvre du cinéaste. Au-delà des considérations politiques et sociales, le propos chaplinien se veut une interrogation d ordre philosophique sur le statut de l Homme moderne, le sens de l existence et la survie de l individu dans un monde abandonné de Dieu. Ainsi, plus que sur le Rêve Américain, c est sur un Rêve d Amérique que porte essentiellement l œuvre de Chaplin : un Rêve d Innocence et de Liberté, un Rêve fou mais salvateur face au constat de l absurdité du monde.The image of the American Dream which emerges from Chaplin s films is mostly that of a Dream which has gone awry. Therefore, the film-maker s work has been seen at times as an unacceptable challenge to the very idea of American exceptionalism . However, Chaplin s work is not revolutionary but in keeping with an American tradition of protest, be it linked to the Progressive movement or be it in the very vein of Emerson s and Thoreau s writings. Rather than a mere debunking of the American Dream, Chaplin s films offer an alternative reading of it. But beyond the social and political considerations, Chaplin s work is of a philosophical nature. Its main themes revolve around the status of modern man, the meaning of life, and survival in a world which has been forsaken by its Creator. It is therefore not so much about the American Dream as about a Dream of a mythical America , a Dream of Innocence and Freedom, a wild but redeeming Dream against a background of a dark, absurd world.ANGERS-BU Lettres et Sciences (490072106) / SudocSudocFranceF

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

The manifestation of fluid-transmitted bed shear stress in a smooth annular flume: a comparison of methods
No full textThe most commonly used methods of calculating mean, fluid-transmitted bed shear stresses within a benthic boundary layer have been investigated. The work was carried out in an annular flume 2 m in diameter and 0.40 m deep—the Lab Carousel. This flume is a laboratory equivalent to the Sea Carousel (an in situ flume). A well developed boundary layer 0.02 m thick was confirmed for a range of flows measured using a Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) within the Lab Carousel. There was a good relationship found between flow speed in the Lab Carousel and Sea Carousel, which corresponded well with a direct measurement method (particle tracking) using neutrally buoyant particles. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the accuracies and relative differences of eight ways of determining bed shear stress under smooth bed conditions: five using velocity as a proxy; and three considered direct. The proxy methods investigated were; (1) the Law of the Wall; (2) the Quadratic Stress Law; (3) the Turbulent Kinetic Energy (TKE) method; (4) Prandtl’s seventh power law; (5) and the Reynolds stress calculation. Three ‘direct’ measurements of bed shear stress were: (6) hot film probes; (7) inverting Newton’s second law to define frictional drag through flow deceleration; and (8) numerical simulation. All the methods gave sensible results with the expected trends of increasing stress under increasing flow velocity. The best correlation of the proxy methods was found between Prandtl’s seventh power law and flow deceleration; the other methods over predicting the stress by up to a factor of 10. There was a good coherence between the estimates of stress using an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) and the LDV at 0.15 m above the bed. The use of Sternberg’s constant drag coefficient (CD100 = 3 × 10?3) in stress calculations yielded the greatest over prediction. The hot film probes showed radial differences in stress, which were in general greatest in the middle and lowest near the outer wall. All the methods appear to converge at low current velocities. The TKE and flow deceleration methods showed similar results over a bed roughened with 0.011 m diameter uniform gravel, suggesting that they may be valid for naturally roughened beds
